Lovely restaurant in Grosseto… - Edit
…with very nice interior and a good selection, from vegan tuna sandwich (lighter snacks / to go), ice cream (vegan yogurt, amarena, cheesecake and more flavors! 😍), cakes and of course pasta dishes.
Read moreI especially loved the ravioli with sage and vegan butter! The dish with seitan and roasted potatoes was alright, but it wasn’t the best Seitan I had.
Gnocchi with pepper sauce were good too.
The tuna-sandwich looked a little sad (no salad-leaf or tomato slice or so), but it tasted great! The tuna-cream was yummy and the rich, oily focaccia(?)-bread too!
The ice cream was also amazing, especially yogurt and amarena, pistachio partly a little bitter.
The owner was very friendly and welcomed our dog.
There are also spreads, pestos, jams, etc. to buy on display.

Migliore vegano di sempre! - Edit
Ristorante vegano strepitoso, tutto perfetto! Piatti in cui ritrovare sapori tradizionali -ovviamente in versione vegan- oppure più sperimentali. I dolci sono assolutamente da provare, migliori di moltissimi dolci non vegani!!😍

Lecker, Preise i.O. - Gerne wieder - Edit
Unsere Torte war sehr lecker, aber doch etwas zu mächtig. Das ist allerdings Geschmackssache. Wie hätten uns am liebsten komplett durchprobiert.

Delusione... - Edit
I piatti sono miseri e cari e non cucinati neanche egregiamente. Un antipasto con 4 verdurine fritte (troppo fritte) con salsa ''stonnata'' che sapeva solo di senape. Per secondo un filetto di simil-merluzzo (quelli della findus hanno più sapore) con 4 (e dico 4!) pezzetti di platano fritto e un po' di riso in bianco...
Read morePeccato, ero così entusiasta leggendo le recensioni che si sono rimasta malissimo 🫤
Non posso giudicare i dolci perché sono andata a mangiare al cinese che avevo Ancora fame 😅
Pros: È comunque un ristorante totally vegan
Cons: Troppo caro, Porzioni piccole

Vegan patisserie, shop and restaurant - Edit
This place is so good for vegan. You can eat there during the week but on sunday you can only have cakes and drink. They offers patisseries, ice cream, sandwiches and drinks. They had a very delicious cake with whipped cream, croissant, cinnamon rolls etc.

PERFETTO - Edit
Dire cosa ci è piaciuto è riduttivo, ci è piaciuto tutto e dico tutto davvero. Locale bellissimo, gentilezza e simpatia di tutto il personale, i piatti uno più buono dell’altro. I dolci poi sono meravigliosi. Consigliatissimo, anzi obbligatorio andarci se si è in zona!

Great food, many options! - Edit
Breakfast: their whole grain croissants and the optional filling (hazelnut, pistachio, jam or chocolate) are really tasty.
Read moreLunch: zucchini flan and tortelli with ragu sauce were good, really liked their arancione with ragu sauce and their gnocchi alla norma. On the sweet side, I liked their daily tart (pan di spagna, crema and monella) and their tiramisu was good.
Ice-cream: I recommend the hazelnut and the “monella” flavours!
Updated from previous review on 2023-09-29
Pros: Friendly staff , Nice setting inside and small terrace outside , Large choice
Cons: Vanilla cream in the sweet pastry a bit bland, Tiramisu could have more biscuit and more coffee

Excellent all-in-one, incredible ice cream - Edit
I am not really sure where to start with Essenza, because this place has got it all!
Read moreWhen it comes to food, Essenza offers everything: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, ice cream, coffees and a big selection of packaged goods (cheeses, meats, pestos, sauces, etc.).
Their selection of sweet treats is unmatched in the region. We especially recommend their croissants that can be customized with the filling of your choice (pistachio, hazelnut, chocolate, cream, Monella - their own “Nutella”, etc.), as well as their delicious apricot or berries tarts and their various cakes.
With regard to their savory dishes, we particularly enjoyed their “AranciOne allo zafferano con ragù vegetale”, the “Tortelli maremmani al ragù vegetale” and the “Gnocchi alla "norma"”.
Last but not least: the ice cream! Finally a place where you can get quality vegan ice-cream and not just the usual sorbets and dark chocolate. They currently have six flavors (Fiordilatte, Nocciola, Pistacchio, Ciocolato e Cannela, Torta al Limone, Monella). We tasted the Nocciola and the Pistacchio, which were both amazing, but the one that stole the show was clearly the Monella ice cream! It’s incredibly rich and tastes just so so good, especially with their ice cream cone.
This review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the location and the friendly staff. The interior is very big and nicely decorated. It’s very calm and a small oasis of peacefulness in the middle of quite busy surroundings. They also have an outside terrace with a few tables. The service is very courteous and accommodating.
Pros: The best ice cream - especially the Monella, Amazing selection of sweet treats and salty dishes, Great location, friendly staff

Beautiful place and great food - Edit
This is a restaurant with a great atmosphere, great food and surprisingly big for a rather small city. They also have a good selection of vegan take away food, if you don't want to eat in.

Eccellente - Edit
Essenza è un locale molto bello, accogliente e ben studiato, 100% vegan. Ha una pasticceria artigianale d'eccellenza con molteplici e sfiziose ricette, con la rara possibilità di scegliere più soluzioni di caffetteria biologica. Ha un ristorante con cibo ottimo, studiato con passione dall'origine dei prodotti fino agli accostamenti in piatto. Ha una bellissima carta dei vini, con cantine e bottiglie attentamente ricercate e servite al meglio in tavola. Essenza è effetto della passione e dei cuori dei suoi due splendidi proprietari, Roberto e Valentina. Eccellente!
