Giumella

Since you pay by weight, it gets expensive very quick, but everything my wife and I had was absolutely delicious! When you order take away, the prices by weight vary. When you dine in, the price for everything is the same and they give you a bottle of water, cup of tea, or glass of wine.

It felt like we were eating a big, hearty place of comfort food like Thanksgiving dinner.

If you go to one vegan place in Florence, let it be Giumella! Such a cozy, heart-warming, and delicious spot. Everything is made from scratch and it shows. The owner is incredibly sweet and took the time to patiently explain all the dishes to us as we don't speak Italian. The dishes change each day as they are made fresh, but everything we had was fantastic, including the baked goods (we had biscotti and a savory muffin). You pay by weight, and for a full plate it was around 9 euros. Baked goods were 1-3 each. You can also call ahead and order a lunch box for a cheaper fixed price.

Many locals were clearly coming in to get their food to go but if you dine there, the owner may give you a glass of wine on the house! Can't stress how good this place is - great food and great vibes!

We went to Giumella for some desserts for a party, and came away with chessecakes, small pies, and cookies, various flavors and types. The desserts at Giumella are as good or perhaps even better than any vegan restaurant or bakery I have ever tried. For fun, we also got a couple slices of lasagna and some other foods, and wow - amazing! I can't recommend this place enough, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our taxi was taking long to arrive when we were finished, so the women there offered us some delcious cold tea and we sat at one of the four or so tables and enjoyed the good company. I can't wait to order food and desserts from here for an upcoming work function. Try Giumella, you will love it!
