    Nice restaurant with a quiet inner courtyard. At lunchtime there is a weighing buffet with many vegan options. The food itself was good, but some things are simply not suitable for a buffet where the food is not prepared fresh and warm. Price-performance ratio rather expensive for lunchtime. It is easy to get to € 15, but water is included for free!

    (Translated by Google) Food is always good, but with the new system of weighing food, prices have increased by about 80% Such an increase is never justified! Sin... (Original) Il cibo Ê sempre buono, però col nuovo sistema di pesare il cibo, i prezzi sono aumentati circa dell' 80% Un tale aumento non è mai giustificato! Peccato...

    The garden is cosy and peaceful, they have a nice selection of cakes and snacks, 100% veg with some option sugar and gluten free. Some interesting hot and cold drinks. Prices are good. I'll definitely come back for the buffet dinner!

    What a perfect little oasis! I'm so glad this place opened up, because Piazza LibertĂĄ is kind of a zoo. It has a beautiful little garden, part enclosed, and part outside under umbrellas. Fresh loose teas and tissanes and ALMOND MILK (along with soy and I think rice) for coffee drinks. Soft music- old timey jazz in the background. Bellisimo!

    (Translated by Google) Small place but with internal courtyard. Medium quality vegan food and not exactly cheap. Friendly staff and a wonderful play corner for children. But you fix yourself, you clear yourself and the choice of dishes is really limited. It's okay to be frugal but the price should also respect that it's practically a self service. (Original) Luogo piccolo ma con corte interna. Cibo vegano di qualità media e dal costo non esattamente economico. Personale cortese e stupendo angolo giochi per bimbi. Ma ti apparecchi da solo, ti sparecchi e la scelta dei piatti è veramente limitata. Va bene essere frugale ma anche il prezzo dovrebbe rispettare che è praticamente un self service.

    Very pleasant discovery in Via del Ponte Rosso next to Piazza LibertĂ . A nice and cozy vegan restaurant with very nice and friendly staff. They even have tables in the back in the garden even if from outside the place seems pretty small at a first glance. They have a diverse buffet and always a soup of the day and you pay by weight. The menu is cheaper at lunch but also convenient in the evenings. The water is for free.

  • 1/5 Gabrio M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They were clever: when the dishes were € 7 small and € 10 large it was worth eating. Now that the weight is at a minimum, do you spend 10 euros on some (excellent) vegetables? Another jewel thrown to the wind. (Original) Si sono fatti furbi: quando i piatti erano 7 € piccolo e 10 € grande conveniva mangiarci. Ora che va a peso come minimo spendi 10 euro per delle (ottime) verdure? Altro gioiello gettato al vento.

    Deliciousness!!! Everything was so good. My husband actually ate two rounds of their buffet. And the cakes were great as well! Beautiful inner courtyard , quiet and sunny. Friendly and kind owner ❤️

  • 5/5 Jane 4 years ago on Google • 154 reviews
    Fabulous! I'm in foodie heaven 😀 Sat in the garden, working my way through the large plate (10€, free bottle of water). Am only not having a dessert because I'm trying to lose a few pounds...they look delicious though! Simple food, well cooked and tasty. Menu changes daily so I'll be back 😁

  • 5/5 Lana K. 1 year ago on Google • 84 reviews
    Food was very good and unique! We picked what we wanted from a daily selection then sat in the cute outside area. Prices were great and they make juice as well! Set apart from the chaos of city during the summer, it’s a perfect break with a fully vegan menu.

  • 2/5 Steve B. 1 year ago on Google • 62 reviews
    The most disappointing meal we have had in Florence. We had high hopes for a simple lunch. The lunch was simple, there is a very limited selection, no salad when we got there. You chose what you wanted from the selection, which included soup, and paid for it by weight. It's not clear at this point how much it's going to cost. The biggest problem was that the food isn't on a hotplate and so is mostly cold and dry. A lot of it looked like it was from the previous day. The courtyard is OK, but the seats aren't comfortable. €32 is very expensive for this type of food, especially in this area which isn't in the main part of Florence, and other food in the area, arguably better looking, is far cheaper. Wouldn't recommend it, look somewhere else for a €4 fresh sandwich and a €1.60 cappuccino.

    amazing buffet dinner! we got a full plate of food for 10 euros, water was free. it was all truly exceptional, and all vegan! i loved especially the curried lentils and potatoes augratin but it was honestly all heavenly. lovely apple pie for dessert. dont miss it!

    (Translated by Google) A special place where the watchword is quality. Vittoria, the owner, always chooses only the best ingredients to prepare her specialties: tasty mixed dishes, soups, salads, desserts, sandwiches. Delicious herbal teas and fruit and vegetable extracts. A place where you can take a quick lunch break from the office, spend an evening with friends but also simply a tea time absorbed in reading excellent books that Vittoria makes available to customers. A careful eye also in the choice of the always efficient and at the same time friendly and smiling collaborators. Children can play in a small space dedicated to them and mothers can really be serene about the quality of the food. What can I say ... nothing is missing, there is also a beautiful garden, ideal for the summer. I recommend it to everyone, even to those who are not vegan but want to experiment: not just cooking but a real lifestyle (Original) Un luogo speciale dove la parola d’ordine e’ qualità. Vittoria, la titolare, sceglie sempre e solo il meglio degli ingredienti per preparare le sue specialità: gustosi piatti misti, zuppe, insalatone, dolci, tramezzini. Deliziose le tisane e gli estratti di frutta e verdura. Un locale dove si può fare una agile pausa pranzo dall’ufficio, trascorrere una serata con gli amici ma anche semplicente un tea time assorti nella lettura di ottimi libri che Vittoria mette a disposizione dei clienti. Un occhio attento anche nella scelta delle collaboratrici sempre efficienti e allo stesso tempo cordiali e sorridenti. I bambini possono giocare in un piccolo spazio a loro dedicato e le mamme possono davvero state serene sulla qualità del cibo. Che dire... non manca nulla, c’è anche un bel giardino, ideale per la bella stagione. Lo consiglio a tutti anche a chi non e’ vegano ma vuole sperimentare: non solo cucina ma un vero e proprio stile di vita

  • 1/5 Tabea S. 1 year ago on Google
    We wasted 2 hours because they didn't open! We had to walk there for 45 minutes and were already hungry. When we opened the door at 11 am they told us they would open at 12. Fine. Wrong information on 2 websites I guess. We went through the city for an hour and snacked on some fruit because we didn't want to walk back already. At 12 it was still closed. We waited in front of the door for 20 more minutes and still noone bothered to unlock it. A waste of time ....

    (Translated by Google) Funny the name of this place. Excellent food, all of the highest quality, I tried 4 different dishes from what was on display; in particular I was impressed with the phenomenal Tomato Pappa really but also the savory pie was excellent. Very nice place, perfect for a lunch break. Good value for money. (Original) Divertente il nome di questo locale. Ottimo il cibo, tutto di altissima qualitĂ , ho provato 4 piatti diversi tra quello che era in vetrina; in particolare mi ha colpito la Pappa al pomodoro fenomenale davvero ma anche la torta salata era eccellente.

    (Translated by Google) I have always eaten well at Pappagioia, but I must say that the catering it offers in this period of social distancing is fantastic! Excellent vegan dishes arrive at home, which you can choose from a large menu ... different every week. The desserts, then, are unsurpassed both hot ones, such as apple pie, and cold ones, such as tiramisu. I advise you to try the catering now but also to go to the restaurant as soon as it can reopen! (Original) Ho sempre mangiato bene da Pappagioia, ma devo dire che il catering che offre in questo periodo di distanziamento sociale è fantastico! Arrivano a casa delle pietanze vegane eccellenti, che puoi scegliere su un ampio menÚ ... diverso ogni settimana. I dolci, poi, sono insuperabili sia quelli caldi, come l'apple pie, sia quelli freddi, come il tiramisÚ. Vi consiglio di provare ora il catering ma anche di andare al ristorante non appena potrà riaprire!

    (Translated by Google) You eat well, without corpses on your plate, you are warm or cool (as we like best), the staff is affable, nice and kind, the place is informal and not at all snooty, in a word: if there was not it had to be invented! To those who criticize the choice to change prices, I recommend the most sinister Mc D .... that increase cholesterol at € 1. (Original) Si mangia bene, senza cadaveri nel piatto, si sta al caldo o al fresco (come più ci aggrada), il personale è affabile, simpatico e gentile, il luogo è informale e per niente spocchioso, in una parola: se non c'era andava inventato! A chi critica la scelta di cambiare i prezzi, consiglio i più biechi Mc D.... che a 1 € ti aumentano il colesterolo.
