Excellent experience, seasonal vegetarian menu; authentic and tasty dishes.
Nice, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, it's a place that puts you in a good mood. The 2 girls who looked after us were very kind, we will be back with great pleasure
Silvio, his wife, and daughter win over the crowd in a matter of seconds, after which the well-oiled relay race gets underway and the deal is done. Care and sensitivity (Gaza Cola among the drinks) don't go unnoticed here, where business is business and there's no excuse for a sloppy jockey. Bravo!
Nice place, kind and professional staff
It was amazing. I ordered tripe, pear ravioli, and cheesecake for 50 euros. The waiter was very fond of Japanese people. I tried to order lasagna, which originated in Florence, but he insisted that it was boring and recommended pear ravioli. I ended up choosing the latter. The pear ravioli was absolutely delicious. I don 't think you can find it anywhere else in Italy. The flavors of the pear and the cheese sauce were perfectly balanced. I ordered tiramisu for dessert, but he insisted I change it to their delicious cheesecake, insisting I have it. (The order on the receipt still said tiramisu, but the price remained the same. The cheesecake had a very good, not-too-overpowering ricotta flavor. I visited in late December, but the outdoor terrace seating was too cold and long. I actually wanted to go to the main branch nearby, 4, but it was booked. Cinque was also excellent.

We loved this place so much! Strongly recommend making reservations, since it is small and fills up very quickly. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us find the perfect vegan meals (perfect flavors and portions) and wine. Wonderful atmosphere. Can not recommend this place enough!
Really nice cous cous, pizza and cake, many vegan options. Not sure if the cheese was vegetarian so I didn't try it. I appreciate being able to choose between dishes more elaborated than pizza and burger and this place has several.
I’m really sad because I had high hopes for this restaurant reading the reviews. The place is cute, has a good atmosphere and the staff is nice. Unfortunately I’ve had better vegetarian dishes in non-vegetarian restaurants in Tuscany. The seasonal salad was more than basic and the polpettone and the soup weren’t very tasty. The cecina with cheese raised the bar, but the menu was globally very cheese-heavy. I hope their changing menu makes it better at some other time. #Veganuary
Incredible food! Our waiter was lovely and every dish from the olive pasta to the cecina (chickpea flatbread, SO GOOD) to the focaccia was fantastic. The peach meringue dessert was a showstopper Updated from previous review on 2023 10 04
Very friendly owner who explained the traditional dishes to us. The menu reflected food from his home city of Genoa. Fresh ingredients. Delicious food. Mostly vegetarian options.

We were very happy with this restaurant, we went there for lunch. We were very happy with the food. I want to comment on some of the other reviews true the menu is only one page so it is not exhaustive. I guess that 2/3 of the items are vegan, the others have eggs or cheese. So it is not a purely vegan restaurant as we thought but they were plenty of options. Make a reservation or go early we got a table at 13:00, but by 14:00 it was full in all the tables had been reserved.
I am mad at this place. They did NOT have great vegan options, but everyone claimed they did. It was only human, chickpea bread, or salad. I wasted my vote for where to eat with my meat eaters friends on this place. The menu was changed from what was visible online.
Aweful. I've tried to give this place 3 chances it's the same story. Too much attitude for shitty vegetarian food. Don't ask for balsamic for your iceberg lettuce salad. otherwise they'll be pissed and reggiseno to give it. Rice dish bland. It's basic at best and overpriced. Ordered roasted vegetables because this place isn't gluten free friendly. Instead I was given sautéed cabbage. When I said this isn't what I ordered. They took away my dish and tried to make me pay for it plus the coperto. Not recommended
Very small portions. The waitress was quite rude and was very annoyed when we were trying to order. Place was beautiful. Food was tasteful. Service was horrible
Do not believe the couple of bad reviews for this restaurant! Its wonderful! A true vegetarian restaurant that I could bring my meat loving husband to and he'd still be happy. I was recommended here by a local. Its very small and we lucked in to a table for two. They change the menu daily according to what the chef finds fresh at market. They do have their staples that are always on the menu. My friend in Florence recommended we start with the focaccia with formaggio OMG so good! It takes a good 10-15 mins for them to make it so order right away. I had the spaghetti al 4 cavoli aglio. It had caulifower, cabbage, and kale. It was amazing. The other person with me had the polenta with shiitake, pomodoro and greens. This restaurant is unassuming but on a higher level than your average trattoria. Best meal of our trip so far. Everyone was so nice and it was the first restaurant we've been to in Florence that had a woman chef. If you want a boring big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs or pizza go somewhere else and don't take up table space here!

Lesbian vegan options (hummus with sweet and salad).
A few times. Super food and a pleasant experience. Amazing persimmon and chestnut dessert, which was one of the most exalted things I had in one. seasonal. later autumn winter.
We were there as a group and the food was lovely but the owner was incredibly grumpy and rude. They seated us (a 20 person group) inside and then complained about the noise. The rest of the staff was nice and the food was really good so as long as you’re not a big group would still recommend!
Very unfriendly, would give 1 star if possible (but for vegan restaurants they will automatically give 1 star more)
We had cecina and spicy rice with vegetables here and it was delicious! The menu changes every day, about half of the menu is vegan and properly labeled as such (starters, main dishes and desserts), all food is organic. Updated from previous review on 2021-07-15
