I'm not supposed to say this. While in Florence I gorged on gluten free and vegetarian pizza, pasta, tiramisu, chocolate dipped gelato cones, etc- THE DREAM. YET- This place was one of my favorite meals. Maybe because two days in my body was already feeling a vitamin or two might be nice. Maybe it was the cute table outside. Maybe it was the super friendly staff. I don't know but the delicious green smoothie, zucchini cacio e Pepe (CLEVER), and the peanut butter carob cake were most delicious and nourishing. It was the perfect chill evening meal after wandering the Boboli gardens. Pricey? Yes it was. But whatever. Your body will thank you and you can return to pizza tomorrow!
All I wanna do is eat pasta, meat, cheese and drink wine and limoncello in Florence but this place makes it SO much easier to manage the temptation and to eat and drink healthier! They have plenty vegan options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I feel so lucky to be staying so close to this place! It's bright inside and has a 'nature feel' with all the wood, greenery, cute little cacti plants, and, of course, visible fruits and veggies. I come here for juices first thing in the morning and I love their açaí bowl for breakfast. You can choose your own toppings like quinoa, chia seeds, cacao, and coconut. They have cold pressed juices, juice shots, vegan burgers, tacos, wraps, bowls, stews, breakfast toast, and soups. Besides the obvious of having fresh, organic, vegan options, they even have 1, 3, and 5 day juice packages available for you to pick up 5 juices per day when you're ready. I can't tell you how grateful I am for this option. I feel like I have a little vegan angel on my shoulder keeping me on track! The menu is in English, they speak English, and ordering is easy; but if you want to try your Italian, they are patient with you and give you a chance to not be so touristy! This place is so clean, smells great, and has plenty seating-- outside on the patio, inside with bar stools. There's WiFi and a nice seating area in the back to get comfortable and bring your laptop, too. You pay when you order but they bring your food to you. The staff is SO nice and they love their customers and customers love them back. Tourist or not, they treat you with kindness and care about your experience. They are reasonably priced and have so many great options. With so many places to eat and drink in Firenze, this place is definitely worth more than one visit! Just remember, if you're visiting, you can STILL maintain your vegan ways at #RAW!
I might be being generous with 2 stars. I went with a group of about 10 people and no one enjoyed their meal. We got a build your own bowl and a wrap and they were both lacking in flavor and not very good. Some girls did enjoy their juices but that was about it. I really would not recommend or return and was not a fan. It sure does make you feel like eating pasta after though.
#Raw was a great lunch stop during my time in Florence! I'm not vegan, but I am gluten free and dairy free. So sometimes eating vegan happens naturally. I was really impressed with the menu at #Raw. Everything sounded so good! In the end, I went with an acai bowl. I'm glad I did! It was one of the best açaí bowls I've ever had, and that's not an exaggeration. It was creamy, just the right amount of sweet, and the cacao nibs I added to it were perfect (also came with a side of granola). My friends both ordered a wrap that looked incredible as well as matcha lattes. I ended up getting a chai latte to go and it was fantastic! Made from real loose leaf tea (please, more places do this!!) and cashew milk, it definitely hit the spot. The shop itself has a very earthy, natural vibe-- fitting and calming to me. The music choice made my friends and I laugh more than once. It was a random mix but we had a great time with it. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and #Raw really has a lot going for it. I'd happily stop by again!
Located in a hipster area of Florence full of stylish cafes and boutiques, #RAW turns out plates of raw vegan food with a health-conscious bent. The "Raw Made in Italy" was a plate of zucchini noodles mixed with a pesto made of dried tomatoes and basil, and the sauce had a nice balance of sweet, savory, and umami flavors. I was a bigger fan of the Chick Cheese Sandwich, which consisted of a fascinating warm, crumbly, earthy bread made of buckwheat and beets, and a filling of a chickpea flatbread, greens, avocado, and a vegan cheese sauce, which had a surprisingly savory, umami flavor. There were plenty of other appealing creations on the menu, and overall, the food here was definitely tasty and unique, though the menu prices were high for the portion sizes.
While traveling in Florence I was so glad to have found Raw to give my body some much needed veggies after eating ALL the carbs in pastas and pizzas! My friend and I both had the chia pudding one morning to bring with us on an early train. It was a filling breakfast that fueled a long hike! We enjoyed our breakfast there so much that we came again for a lunch- I had the veggie wrap with tahini sauce- it was truly delicious. Double check the hours before you go- it closes at different times throughout the week. Definitely check out Raw for some tasty fresh food options in Florence!
I went here for the first time about a month ago. LOCATION: It's located across the Arno, away from the busier areas of the city, but still not too far of a walk from it all either. 3/5 ATMOSPHERE: It's pretty clean and bright inside. The decor gives me slight tropical vibes. 3/5 SELECTION: It's all raw vegan, which means it's all vegan, and none of the food is cooked over 118 degrees Fahrenheit. They have juices, bowls, and smoothies, as well as regular food items, like wraps, salads, a burger, a pizza, and a few other things. 3/5 WHAT I GOT: I got their "Acai Cream Bowl." It was okay-ish, but definitely more towards the bottom of acai bowls I've had, and I've had a lot. The acai blend was too thin and a little soupy, and it could've been a little colder. Also, the acai flavor wasn't that present either, and it didn't show in the color either -- usually, good acai blends are dark purple, but this was more like light lavender -- which just goes to show they likely don't use much actual acai in their blend, which is kind of disappointing. The granola, however, was fine, as well as the fruit and other toppings, which you get to choose yourself -- I chose nectarine (although it could've been riper and there were some bruises, which kind of turned me off, but I ate it anyways lol), cacao nibs, sultanas (raisins), and shredded coconut. 3/5 SERVICE: The service was okay. The employee who took our order was nice and helpful, but my acai bowl took a long time for some reason. Like, the other people I was with's dishes came out, and then my acai bowl didn't come out until like 15 minutes later, and they were nearly done with their meals. 3/5
If you need a meal that packs a punch of fresh food and veggies, #Raw is the place to go. With WiFi, a decent amount of seating, and an overall clean feeling it's a nice place to spend time. I have had multiple salads, wraps, juices, and smoothies and have been impressed every time. The cold pressed juices, 6€ for a bottle, are my favorite things to pick up from here. The green juice is very good - not too sweet, not too earthy. If you are looking for something sweater, try the pineapple! The staff has been patient and friendly every time I have gone in. It's a health food haven in a country full of carbs!
This place rocks!! A vegan, health conscious, gluten free eaters paradise! The staff is super cool and friendly and the food is made with love. I got the spring rolls with matcha nut milk each time I came and was blown out of the water. Also had the peanut butter vegan cupcake and the vegan raw crackers. Everything is raw vegan, gluten free and absolutely delicious.
Great raw, vegan/vegetarian restaurant. I had been eating so many carbs on my trip to Italy and so raw was exactly what I needed as a break from all of the heavy food. I ended up going twice because I enjoyed it so much. The first time I had the acai bowl and the green juice. They were both amazing and I especially loved the bowl. The second time I went I had the vegan burger and the beet juice. The veggie burger was great and I loved the juice. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something healthy as this can be pretty hard to find in Florence.

Very expensive, all organic & vegan foods & drinks. Matcha nut milk was €5.50, but it was actually very delicious & not too sweet. Employees are very friendly. Nice outdoor seating with WiFi that works outside. Trucks & cars driving by, but it's italy. Not sure if I'll go back, bc it was $$$, but definitely would recommend to those looking for vegan options in Florence. Food looks really good. Bathroom was large & clean. read more
I was in Italy for 10 days and completely underwhelmed and angry with the food. Florence was the only place I encountered with vegan options. I came here and stocked up on food for the hotel and the rest of my stay in other cities. LOL. My body was desperately craving nourishment and I am sooooo happy I found Raw. Being plant based on vacation can be VERY TOUGH. I walked 1 mile back and forth but it was worth every step. The owners were lovely and everything I had was beyond delicious. I cannot wait to return here! Changed my entire perception of Italia! I had the veggie wrap along with their delicious veggie burger. The bread that they dehydrate themselves was phenomenal. The green juice was just what my body needed and not too sweet! Bravo! read more

Amazing food here! My daughter and I took a taxi to eat here. There was a line out the door, all the customers were so chill waiting. The staff calmly greeted each of us one by one. Everything is handmade from scratch using the best ingredients, all gluten free. We ordered 2 Cacao Maca smoothies, Soaked Oats, & a Vegetable wrap. We relaxed on the outdoor patio with comfortable pillows while we waited. We chatted with others out on the patio, who all were in love with their food. We were also in love with our food, it was amazing! My daughter lives in LA, so we are use to amazing plant based food and this is one of the best! The Cacao smoothies is one of the best smoothies we have ever had! We will be going back this trip for sure! If you like plant based foods, fresh ingredients and feeling like a million bucks afterward, then this is your place! read more
By far the most amazing vegan restaurant I've been to in the world. Please go here if you visit Firenze! The woman who owns it has designed an amazing space and she is also so kind and beautiful. We will be back next time! read more

Raw is my favorite place in Florence for a healthy bite to eat that fuels me with energy. About an 8 min walk from the Ponte Vecchio. I am not vegan personally, but I really enjoyed the burger (very hearty and served with a flavorful pesto sauce) and turmeric ginger shot (not too strong and really helped my poor feet from days of walking as it is anti-inflammatory). The raw coconut is delicious and kept at the right temperature for crisp freshness. Banana gelato is fruity and light. Caroline (care-oh-leen), the owner, is there everyday and is extremely invested in her customers. It's very clear she has many repeat customers (both tourists and locals) because of the high quality of her food and the ambiance of the store, as well as her dedication to find the right option for each customer's preferences. Prices are quite reasonable (€7 for any lunch option). Zucchini noodles with pesto are also FAB. Overall - fabulous experience and delicious vegan food. Best vegan bread I've tasted (amazingly not too dense / crumbly). Pumpkin seeds add a great flavor to her spongy bread. She nails the texture of many of her foods (bread, gelato, sauces) which is often my main complaint with vegan food. If you're looking for vegan food in Florence, don't waste your time anywhere else. Hours are 11:30am-8pm. read more

I took a raw vegan burger to eat later, and it was unbelievable! I usually don't eat that much, but I ate the whole thing by myself, and my body absolutely loved it!!! They were also very kind, even though I wanted to change a few ingredients from the extracted juice. Wow! I wish I never left hahaha thanks for the lovely food guys read more
