5 E Cinque - Firenze

Do not believe the couple of bad reviews for this restaurant! Its wonderful! A true vegetarian restaurant that I could bring my meat loving husband to and he'd still be happy. I was recommended here by a local. Its very small and we lucked in to a table for two. They change the menu daily according to what the chef finds fresh at market. They do have their staples that are always on the menu. My friend in Florence recommended we start with the focaccia with formaggio OMG so good! It takes a good 10-15 mins for them to make it so order right away. I had the spaghetti al 4 cavoli aglio. It had caulifower, cabbage, and kale. It was amazing. The other person with me had the polenta with shiitake, pomodoro and greens. This restaurant is unassuming but on a higher level than your average trattoria. Best meal of our trip so far. Everyone was so nice and it was the first restaurant we've been to in Florence that had a woman chef. If you want a boring big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs or pizza go somewhere else and don't take up table space here!

We were very happy with this restaurant, we went there for lunch. We were very happy with the food. I want to comment on some of the other reviews true the menu is only one page so it is not exhaustive. I guess that 2/3 of the items are vegan, the others have eggs or cheese. So it is not a purely vegan restaurant as we thought but they were plenty of options. Make a reservation or go early we got a table at 13:00, but by 14:00 it was full in all the tables had been reserved.

It's a lovely corner, full of magic that made me feel Italian. They encourage with much love and explain to you that it is vegan and that it is vegetarian. Veganuary

I am mad at this place. They did NOT have great vegan options, but everyone claimed they did. It was only human, chickpea bread, or salad. I wasted my vote for where to eat with my meat eaters friends on this place. The menu was changed from what was visible online.

I had dinner with my wife (not vegan) we both had a great time, congratulations 5 and 5
