Cosy restaurant !

I really enjoyed my dinner there.

The place is chic but however affordable with quality food.

Vegan options are not numerous, but clearly labelled and the staff knows the details if you ask them.

I would recommand this place for a night out !

Pros: Chic decoration, Vegan options labelled, Quality food

Cons: Few vegan options

Best Vegan Mozzarella

Ordered the Margherita with vegan mozzarella. Service was extremely friendly and the meal was the best I’d had in Florence. Delicious pizza, exactly what I was wanting.

Yummy vegan pizza

The service was great and all the waiters/ staff were very aware of veganism. Good margarita pizza!

Cons: 1.5 euro upcharge for the vegan mozzarella

Cozy

It was a nice place with good service and some vegan options. I did however not see any exclusively vegan meals and when I asked if they had vegan cheese for the gnocchi they said no.

I took gnocchi in tomato sauce without cheese, and it was good!

There was also a vegan dessert that I did not try.

Overall cozy place with good service, quite expensive.

Pros: Location , Service

Cons: Not that many vegan options, Expensive

Efficient but Not Cozy

The pizza was okay, and they offered vegan mozzarella for an additional €1.50. However, the ambiance was loud comparable to a train station hall. Despite having around 20-30 tables, there were approximately 10 waiters constantly moving around, talking among themselves, creating a rather chaotic atmosphere. On the positive side, the service was speedy. Overall, it's not a cozy place - more suited for a quick meal.

Tourist trap with limited options

The place has all the hallmarks of a tourist trap and it is. We didn’t bother walking too far from the center of Florence as we arrived late and tired, so we settled for this place as the pizzas looked fine on the pictures online and they make quite a fuss about their vegan/vegetarian/etc. options.

The service was rude for as long as we spoke in English and their mood changed only once we switched to Italian.

Despite the signs that might suggest otherwise, vegan options are actually quite sparse on the menu (one starter, one or two pasta dishes, pizza). For starters we went with the veganized version of their “King of Neapolitan street food platter”. It’s very bland, ready made, fried junk food on a platter. It’s utterly pointless, except for the two small arancini balls (which are still far from the original of course). We then went for the gnocchi with tomato sauce and vegan cheese. The gnocchi were average at best, the sauce not seasoned at all and the vegan cheese tasteless. Last but not least we tried their pizza. Unfortunately, despite the good dough and tasty ingredients on top, the result was disappointing as it was utterly and completely drenched in olive oil.

The restaurant is a tourist trap like most restaurants in the area. No locals would ever eat there. If you can’t bother looking for something better a bit further, we recommend sticking with the pizza and asking for it without any extra oil.

Pros: Pizza is good (but ask for no oil), Nice decor

Cons: Standard tourist trap , Very limited vegan options, Unfriendly service

Amazing!!

Everyone here was lovely and so kind I came to this restaurant with my family it was only a 10 minute walk from our hotel and I loved that it had not just options but amazing vegan food for myself while accommodating my family. I had a vegan version of their pesto pasta and they brought me vegan bread and marked everything with a sticker, which was super refreshing and helpful. Highly recommend

Pros: Service , Amazing food , More than one option for vegans

Great pick close to city centre

Starters were extremely good (we had the mixed fried bites and the artichoke pie with vegetables) and mains were pretty good, the only complaint is that they don't truly "veganise" the pizza you choose, they just remove the non-vegan toppings and then add vegan mozzarella.

Best vegan pizza!

We had the gnocchi with tomato sauce and vegan mozzarella and the Magherita with vegan mozzarella and the cheese was really great!
The menu was not clearly labelled but the waitresses knew all vegan options. They still have vegan pesto tagliatelle as well!

Pros: Awesome vegan mozzarella

Buonissimo !

Delish food and plenty of vegan options. Staff are really helpful, pointing out all the menu items that can be veganised. They have a tasty vegan mozzarella that can be added to anything at no extra cost.
Would recommend the mixed starter plate (fried mozz and arancini are unbelievable !), gnocchi and pesto tagliatelle.
They also have a vegan tart for dessert

Absolutely delicious!

This place knows their allergens! All of their menu can be made ‘gluten free and lactose free’ (not sure if both at once though), and boy do they do a good job at the dairy free.

I had bruschetta to start which is naturally vegan, and was nothing to write home about but was still tasty. The pesto pasta was a show stopper though. Pesto pasta is something I eat regularly but this might have been the best one I’ve ever had. They told me they don’t make this with dairy anyway! I just had to confirm there was no egg in the pasta (as there is a note in the menu saying all their pasta is fresh).

The vegan dessert - a slice of pie - could have been a little bigger and served with cream, but it was still pretty good.

The restaurant was full the whole time we were there and a little tight. The food isn’t the quickest to come out but we enjoyed our meal.

Pros: Good at giving alternatives, They have vegan cheese! , Fair price

Cons: Very cosy - too cosy

Perfecto

I eat a gnocchi and the card showed it was vegetarian. I asked if they could make it vegan and it was no problem. I got a plate with a little sticker on the side that said vegan. I had the best gnocchi I ever eat. Bravo.

Pros: Beautiful vibe, Good food, Knowing about food

Cons: The Terrace is at the street but it's not to distr

Good food and helpful staff

Great restaurant with a large number of vegan options. They also substitute cheeses for pizza and other dishes. Be mindful that only vegetarian items are marked on the menu. Make sure you tell staff you're vegan and they are super helpful and accommodating and have a great knowledge of the menu. Food I had was great.

Yummy vegan pizza

We had the vegan eggplant pizza & bruschetta. The service was very friendly, they had a great atmosphere and the food was really good. I have a nut allergy & am always nervous ordering vegan cheese and our waiter was super nice and helpful with ordering & making sure I was good to go! I also had a lemoncello spritz which was delicious.

Pros: Great atmosphere , Reasonable pricing , Friendly & helpful staff

Pizza and pasta

Enjoyed that they had vegan cheese, though some vegan protein options would have been nice! I had a salad and the gnocchi and they were both delicious.

Delicious pizza

What a find! Delicious vegan pizza. Super friendly service. When we told the wait staff that we were after a vegan pizza, they basically said we can create our own, select toppings etc. The vegan mozzarella was amazing, very cheesy; melted well. The only criticism would be the amount of arugula on the pizza…was perfect otherwise! So thin and cheesy. I like that it didn’t have a thick crust or base. Gluten free option available also!

Pasta Amore

The line was out the door, but totally worth it. The vibe was fun in a beautiful, family style, open-air restaurant. We loved Giuseppe. The pasta dishes were on point. Pleasantly surprised that the salads had a hard vegan cheese. They have mozzarella for pizza.

Pros: Several pasta, pizza and salad options , Has a couple vegan cheeses, Has dessert

Cons: Needs to add tiramisu, Offer wines that are known to be vegan

Incredible

Amazing to find in downtown Florence a restaurant that gets and respects gluten free an vegan diets. And not just that - but delivers amazing tastes. we had the artichoke pie and 2 of their upscale pizzas and though it's a long time since I had regular pizza I can say this is perhaps the best pizza I ever had! Not even fair to compare with other gluten free and vegan pizzas I had because those don't come even close to this...

Pros: Everything in the menu can be made GF and vegan, Clearly marked and reassurance for every dish

Cons: Expensive but worth it

As Advertised

The food is great, lots of options for vegetarians, make sure to ask which items can be made vegan (with vegan mozzarella). This is a white table cloth kind of place but prices are moderate. Ask for olives while you wait for food, better than bread.

Updated from previous review on 2022-08-29

Pros: Wait staff helpful about what can be made vegan, Outside patio, homemade pasta

Cons: Street can be a bit noisy.
