    We decided to come to this restaurant based on Google reviews and we weren't disappointed. It's recommended to reserve a table as it will be full. Great Gluten free and dairy free options and the food is to die for! Staff were very aware of allergies and knew exactly what was and was not suitable. They were absolutely fantastic and I can't rate them highly enough. Fast service, even when busy and when there was a small error, it was quickly corrected and they offered a complimentary lemoncello (so all round great customer service). Toilets were clean and but there was one for everyone (not split out into ladies/gentlemen etc). Loved that the food was organic, local and fresh and you could taste that in the dishes. If you're looking for a great gluten free restaurant (or in general a great restaurant), please go to this one. You won't be disappointed.

    What a gem. I rarely give 5s but this was the best meal we've had in Italy. Classic, fresh and with a couple of twists to make the dishes pop. We'll worth a visit. Veg is grown by her sister just outside of Florence, and the love really shows. ... Curiously all the staff had the most beautiful hands! An odd observation especially after visiting The David, but there you go!

    Amazing restaurant we stumbled upon our first night in Florence. Food was fresh and prepared in the dining room which was a treat to watch. One of my top 2 meals in my month travels!

    Had an amazing dinner here the night before I left Florence, concluding my trip to Italy with perfect food and service. The staff is extremely attentive and warm with incredible smile (his name may have been Philipo?). The price is very reasonable as well. You will regret not visiting here if you go to Florence. Highly recommend, will bring my friends here again!

    Amazing food! I definitely recommend it. Good quality ingredients and tasteful dish. Try the lasagna, it is extraordinary. They also have a nice patio where you can sit and be away from the heat and the craziness. Not to mention it is right next to the Dome and the Academia.

    Small restaurant with a limited menu but excellent service. Given the ratings, we expected better quality food. The appetizers especially the aubergine muffin with Burrata cheese, off the menu, was very good. The main dishes of crepes with asparagus as well as the vegetarian lasagna were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. The desert was apple muffin with peanuts ice cream was also ok. It could have been much better.

    The food is delicious. You can taste that the vegetables are garden fresh. I had the best eggplant parmigiana I’ve ever had in my life here. The staff is wonderful and very attentive. Dessert was yummy and beautifully presented.

    The food is delicious (especially the broccoli flan!), with many vegetarian options! The dishes are beautiful to see, almost a shame to eat them ;). Service was also kind and they think along with you which wines you should pair with your food. Will definitely come back when in florence again!

    Not only was this the best meal I’ve had in Florence (and the best I’ve had in a very long time in general), I loved getting to know the chef Luca and waiter Filippo - wonderful and talented staff, they’ll make you feel right at home in this incredible restaurant. Many of their ingredients come from their nearby farm, including the delicious olive oil and fresh veggies. They have a great selection of vegetarian choices too, perfect for a veggie like myself.

    We ate here on the recommendations of a friend and were very glad we did! They serve delicious organic food freshly sourced from their family farm in Reggello, a few kilometres from Florence. Plenty of vegetarian options for me and some great meat ones for my partner. Great service, and each dish is served with care and attention to detail. All the food was good but the salted caramel cheesecake was especially amazing!

    One of our favorite stops! The menu is limited, but delightful and unique. Our waiter was the best we had in Italy. So friendly and obviously in love with his city. And they have gluten free bread!

    Had a delicious caprese salad and the server was lovely. It’s a very short walk from the Academia, highly suggest going afterwards!
