Can you Be Vegan in Florence?

Yes! Let us show you how on our Vegan Food Tour in Florence!

Traditional Italian Plant-based Food

Unlike what you might have heard, Italian food isn’t all cheese and meat. There are a lot of traditional dishes which just happen to be vegan – no alteration needed!

Is there Vegan-Friendly Tuscan Cuisine?

There are multiple dishes, traditional to Tuscany and Florence which are vegan-friendly. From Cecina to Panzanella,  Ribollita to Castagnaccio- we’ll show you where to find the authentic Italian dishes, without having to worry about animal products.

Can I still try Italian Classics as a Vegan?

Maybe you just want to eat some good pizza and pasta while you’re in Italy? No problem! Of course, many regular pizzas and pasta dishes contain at least a lot of cheese if not egg and meat, but on this vegan food tour in Florence, you can learn about which types of pasta are made without egg, which sauces are vegan-friendly, and where to get the best pizza – all vegan!

This tour is about Florence classics so no pizza and pasta but ask for all suggestions if that’s what you’re looking for, or let us know in the notes when booking if you specifically want pizza and pasta!

Vegan Pasta, Vegan Pizza – In Florence!

Yes, it is possible to eat pasta and pizza in Florence! In fact, there are many spots – but we can show you the best! In most pizzerias you can take any pizza without cheese, so the ‘vegeteriana’ without mozzarella, or just take the ‘marinara’. But we can let you in on the secret where to get your vegan ‘cheese’ for a brilliant pizza experience.

    We had such a blast on this tour. It was easy to book. Luca was an excellent guide with tons of information about all things vegan – but also just information about the Florence, Italian culture, everything we wanted to know. And just a super fun person to hang out with! The food was excellent, whether you are vegan or not. I would recommend this tour to any visitor. So much fun! Ci vediamo di nuovo!
