Delicious, affordable food - Edit
We ordered lasagna and raviolli and we were so happy with the choice. It was really delicious, for both me and my husband. The seitan had a great taste. When we come back to Florence in the future, we will definitely visit the place again.

so good! - Edit
Super great vegan italian food that is super affordable! We got the vegan kabob which was not what we expected but still good, the lasagna (amazing!!) and the ravioli (my favorite!). They have vegan meat and cheese. Not the cutest restaurant in the world but food and price makes up for it.

Not happy - Edit
It‘s not possible to choose one star here (which I think is weird HappyCow!!!!) because this place really wasn‘t good. Also these guys have a „China Study“ book in their window (seems to be a thing here) but the food was - I am really sorry! - terrible. I had the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, they were way too salty, I couldn‘t finish them. The cream in there was super greasy, the „vegan cheese“ on top just made everything more fatty and unhealthy and the crispy things in the sauce (which probably are a pendant to bacon) were not tasty at all. I am usually not that big of a critic, but this was really not good. In this place, there‘s no table service, and you even setup your table by yourself. The waitress was super nice, really cute. I couldn‘t tell her, that her food was awful.

Ambassador Cascais: Say Cheese - Edit
Picking this location as it was right behind the corner of my hotel. As I sat down at one of the tables, and waited, another guest came to tell me that I needed to order at the counter. I had ravioli as a starter, double burger and tiramisu as a desert. All were really tasty, especially loved the Vegusto cheese they serve on the ravioli and burger. Without exagerating the closest thing to real cheese I ever had.
Read morePros: Hyperrealistic cheese, Tasty, good value, dishes, Friendly staff
Cons: Music of the place didn't really fit well with the, Ordering at the counter, which is not well indicat

Cozy restaurant with cheap prices - Edit
All vegan menu with a great variety and good prices. Dishes were good, especially the primi, and well presented. Portions are small. Service not too fast and dishes need to be picked up at the counter by the customer.
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere, Good presentation, Cheap
Cons: Service a bit slow, don't serve at the table.

Very disappointing... - Edit
We expected a great place based on previous reviews but we were very disappointed by the food and the place. We order various dishes, and most of them were really bland, not well presented and defrosted. The double cheese burger was one of the worst I've ever had and I was not able to finish it. The steak was really dry and not tasty at all. The tapas were not so bad but the ravioli were bland (except for the little sauce served on them). Even the desserts were not enjoyable and too dry. The place in itself was not really pleasant. There was no decoration and we were alone that lunch. The waitress was nice, but I would never go back here.
Read morePros: 100% vegan

So tasty! - Edit
I was in Florence for three days and I came back to Dolce vegan twice!
Read moreIs a pretty small restaurant and they don't serve at the table you have to order on the menu and give it to the lady and than take your food but there are a lot of option, is completely vegan and the food is so good! Even my non vegan friend love it, everything is homemade and really high quality!
The prices are low and is absoluty a winning for me
Pros: Tasty, Lot of option, Homemade food
Cons: No service at the table

Not great - Edit
We went here on the recommendation of trip advisor but were quite disappointed.
Read moreIt was lacking in atmosphere and the lady working there was not very friendly.
We ordered the pasta which was ok but the pie was just vegetables with sauce. We ordered two puddings, one of which was carob based and smelled and tasted off.
The portions are very small and quite expensive. Would not recommend. Also the toilet smelt horribly of damp.
Pros: Central location
Cons: Strange service

Avoid! - Edit
We were excited to try this after some great experiences with vegan food in Firenze. However, this would not be one of them.
Read moreThe system for ordering is awkward at best - you check off things on a menu that you want and the counter person reviews with you. You then pick your food up at the counter.
Despite this our wine & second course we're still forgotten. The wine I should've left it forgotten because it was awful - I should've just drank some vinegar. We waited a while until the counter person remembered we had dessert, also something to avoid as it was carob based (why not real chocolate?!?! Chocolate is vegan). I let her know she forgot my main course, to which she halfheartedly offered to make a new one. I declined.
The gnocchi was "okay." The lasagna was not.
We are both service industry veterans so usually are pretty forgiving, but this was awful. Happy Cow won't let us give less than two stars but if we could we would.
Pros: Vegan
Cons: Forgot orders even tho written down, Unfriendly staff, Bad food

The app wouldn't let me give less than two stars - Edit
I feel so bad giving a negative review, especially of a vegan place but I feel that I have to because the food was so bad. Me (vegan) and my vegan friend brought two carnist friends here and for one of them it was her first vegan experience and now they are both so turned off of vegan food. It is restaurants like this that give vegan food a bad reputation. I had the "cheeseburger", basically a bland vegetable patty, weird tomato sauce, gross bread that fell apart and maybe like a drop of cheese. Next I had papardelle ragu (not even what I wanted but they were somehow sold out of over half the menu). It was cold and just not tasty. The only redeeming factor was the Vegusto brand parmigian cheese garnishing the pasta but you could just buy it yourself at the store and make a much better pasta at home. Next we had dessert (don't know why we didn't just leave at this point) which was some type of carob tart (WHY WHY WHY is a carob a thing, JUST EAT CHOCOLATE!! The carob sauce formed a weird goop on top of a bland pie crust) and a tiramisu (which literally had no flavor and just tasted like cold gel), both were 100% sugar free (which I wish I would have noticed on the menu before we sat down, why do vegan restaurants feel the need to be sugar/gluten free, organic, raw whatever please just keep it about ethics and keep the dumb health fads out of it, this is why people think vegan food is gross!!). And at the end our bill for 4 people was 65€. Biggest waste of money and such a terrible experience. Also want to mention that they were playing animal planet on a huge tv dominating the restaurant showing animal buttholes and weird footage (just why?) ugh just don't go here go to veggy days instead or universo vegano.

A restaurant agains violence - Edit
This restaurant doesn't just use no animal ingredients, it actually informs all guests about veganism.
Read moreThe ravioli were just great. 5 out of 5 stars for those. They have vegusto Swiss cheese.
But the mixed salad was a bit boring and there was no dressing. I'd expect more from a restaurant that also serves raw food. It was just lettuce, sprouts and carrots. No nuts, oils, dressing etc. It could be much more creative.
I like carob so I also liked the carob cake.
The form to order is a bit confusing if two people want the same dish but different sides. But there is an English translation, and it's fast to order and pay. Perfect for lunch.
Pros: fast, great pasta
Cons: boring salad
