L'OV Osteria Vegetariana

We're grateful that there was a table available for us eventhough we didn't make a reservation. The vegan options and allergens indications were clearly indicated on a separate menu card (ask the waiter). We had 2 delicious fresh pastas, a delicious steak & fried artichauts, vegan tofufish and chips, and desserts. An adorable place in Oltrano that we wouldn't hesitate to come back.

I LOVED this place! It’s definitely worth coming to if you want a nice dinner, regardless if you’re vegetarian or vegan, but definitely should come if you are veggie. I ordered a few things just to try for myself. I loved the pasta soya bolognese / ragu, while the eggplant dish was interesting I thought it was going to be more of a hot dish, baked but it wasn’t but still good, and the chocolate cake w hazelnuts I thought was also delicious. Service and ambiance were lovely. Highly recommend !!!

I hesitate to ding vegan concept Restaurants but flavors and focus matter and value for the price matters. La Osteria Vegeteriana in Florence offers a promising concept by providing a vegan and vegetarian menu, but unfortunately, they’ve also chosen to make it gluten-free. While being vegan or vegetarian is a lifestyle choice, gluten-free dining is a medical necessity for some, and the all-encompassing approach might not cater well to everyone. The menu is vast, ranging from Pad Thai to gnocchi, but this broad focus seems to spread the kitchen too thin, resulting in dishes that miss the mark. Our meal included fried mushroom, polenta cake, gnocchi, sausage and beans, quinoa cabbage roll, and pancetta. Sadly, each dish was easily forgettable. Portion sizes are incredibly small, especially considering the high prices. The wine list is not impressive, featuring only one subpar wine available by the glass. Service was ok, we asked for that said glass of wine and they completely forgot to deliver until prompted. Overall, while La Osteria Vegeteriana has the right idea in providing diverse vegan and vegetarian options, it needs to refine its focus and execution to truly stand out.

We where excited to experience this vegetarian restaurant. Unfortunately we couldn’t sit outside as this was all “reserved”. In the end, the tables remained empty. Inside nice ambiance, but the decoration of the walls and the lighting could be improved. Food was great, nice taste and portions were big enough. The service was oké, however the food was served to fast and the staff did had a lot of fun with their mobile phone. Some improvements to made, but overall good experience.

The service in this restaurant was fantastic. The waitress was very attentive. I tried the Balinese satay and it was great! The gado gado was great with the peanut sauce. Would recommend. The atomosphere inside the restaurant is also very nice. A lot of plants and lights.

Absolutely fantastic food! I was blown away by their take on vegan lasagna and Italian sausage! Would highly recommend. Many vegan options that feel really thought out.

The food here is delicious! I loved the homemade truffle potato chips, the truffle cream spaghetti melts in your mouth and the pesto gnocchi is delicious. After all of that leave room for dessert!

We had truffle pasta, vegan sausage on mashed potatoes and red wine sauce and tiramisu. The pasta was really creamy, truffle oil got tossed thoroughly with the pasta, it might be bland for some people, but for me it was supposed to be that way for the truffle to shine. The vegan sausage was nice, couldn't decipher the ingredients, crispy a bit on the outside. The dessert was good but too sweet for me.
