Ruths - Florence

This restaurant is extremely tasty with a wide selection of vegan choices. Review updated on August 28, 2022.

This restaurant review could be rewritten as: "A charming and comfortable spot to visit."

I would suggest trying the Mediterranean platter for two, which includes hummus, tahini, tabouleh, and Israeli salad. The pasta is also delicious, and the kids really enjoyed it. The prices are reasonable as well.

Excellent food, some fish, but otherwise vegatarian and largely vegan. Make sure to ask for the grilled / roasted artichokes (carciofi) that they can usually also do if it is not on the menu. Would give 5 stars, but this app will not allow me to give 5 stars for non-veg places

Ruth's is a decent break from the monotony of not being able to find much vegan food in Florence. Florence is one of the nicest cities in the world, but that doesn't extend to vegetarian food. As previous posters have stated, the owners and workers could be a bit nicer. The prices are fairly expensive, but on par with the normal price gouging that is definitely ubiquitous in Italian restaurants. The food is clean. I had the falafel plate and some pumpkin soup. The soup was excellent and seemed to be made from fresh pumpkins. The falafels were well made as far as falafels go (I kind of hate falafels to be honest, because they are protein poor) and they came with pita and hummus and tahini. It was good for what it was. Ruth's is next to the Florence Synagogue which is worth a visit, costs €6 for entry, and has a museum upstairs.
