wasnt a huge fan of the way this place is organised (see other reviews) and the food looked fairly unappealing but tasted pretty good. the atmosphere isnt amazing, uncomfy seats and echoing room, but it had such a good range of choices for vegans i for one was still happy with it. good for something local and random in florence...

This restaurant is delightful. All of the food is suitalbe for vegetarians and for a reasonable price you can eat a decent meal. It is a bit difficult to place an order, but it is worth being patient and figuring the system out... More

If you're veggie this is well worth hunting out, although it helps to know what to expect beforehand! As other reviewers have pointed out, you need to bag a table first of all, then choose your food, pay the man, and join the queue to collect your food. It can get busy, so if you want a dessert order this... More

We are vegetarians and usually find 1 or 2 choices in restaurant menus. So we went to this restaurant with great hopes. The food was just OK. The till was a mess. The daily menu is written on a black board near the till and service counter and it's in Italian. Which meant the area was busy / messy with... More

Just like the other reviews say. Awesome food in a daily changing menu (4 first course options and 2 second course options). Funky system. Grab a table, buy your food, get a ticket, get your food at a tiny counter. But what the heck, great all vegetarian food. We seemed to be the only tourists. There were lots of local... More

We liked the food a lot—the ratatouille was excellent. The atmosphere and pricing were good too. We did not like the service style—even though it was unique (see other reviews descriptions) , it affected the whole pace of a great Italian meal, because you received all your food at once. More

This restaraunt is a bit of a track outside the centre of Florence. However, it is a fairly straight-forward and easy route to get to from the Doumo. When we arrived at the restaraunt, the large crowd outside of it looked like a positive. We went in to enquire and were told that we'd have to wait 40 minutes before... More
