Review: my mum and I visited this shop/restaurant one morning last week. Very nice shop assistant spoke english and told us about the restaurant. We later came back to get a take out. Granted we were there at 3.30pm. There was a different shop assistant who when asked politely if he spoke english he said (in english) no I don't, in Florence I speak florentine and if I'm in england I speak english. No take out, we finished serving at 3pm...he said all that in english. What a horrible stuck up racist idiot, he spoilt the whole experience of being a lovely city.

Review: So you walk into this little heath food store and see a door in the back and think, huh maybe its not here, but then you turn right into the produce and notice another opening into a large restaurant full of hip people enjoying amazing 99% vegan food! This is one of the best in Italy! Get the combo plate! The menu is in italian, but if you're lucky one of the servers will know a little English! You can pick out the words like seitan / tofu, etc.
 
Pros: amazing heathy food * hidden * one of the best!
Cons: * *

Review: This little restaurant in the back of a health food store is actually fantastic! The menu changes everyday and includes entrees such as seitan over polenta with marinara sauce. Very decent prices.

Review: La Raccolta is one of the best kept secrets in town, maybe it is because from the street you can only see the food store and could never imagine that in the back the perfect restaurant is waiting for you. Don't be shy, enter and ask for a table. Unfortunately the restaurant is only open for lunch (from 12:00 to 15:00) Menu offers a great variety, according to the seasons vegetables available. Everything is of course bio including drinks and they have also gluten free options. If you go there for the first time you should order the big plate of the day (a small taste of everything that the kitchen has to offer). At 15:00 the kitchen closes but the place is still open as a cafeteria, with a great selection of organic teas and delicious cakes. If you want a place to talk for hours with friends or just a place to rest away from the tourist crowds, this is it!
 
Pros: organic season menu * quiet environment * children friendly
Cons: closed for dinner * slightly difficult to find * might need to reserve
