Vegetarian excellence in the center of Florence
Respect for the environment, people and animals: these are the values behind ORA.
All products in our dishes are organic.
Our menu consists of just a few dishes, but they are all defined down to the last detail.
We adhere to the saying “few but good”, because for great masterpieces you don’t have to overdo it.
From starter to dessert, here is a list of all the dishes on the “Mangia” menu.
Starters
Fresh Gazpacho with puffed millet
A fresh dish with flavours that explode in your mouth. Our version of gazpacho is enriched with puffed millet, which makes each bite a little more “crock” and even “pop”.
Crunchy goat’s cheese lollipop on blush aubergine
A simple and complete starter, where the aubergines are not blushed by shyness, but by the magic touch of our chef.
Panzanella crock
Do you know the classic Panzanella? Now forget it and get ready to taste the whole Tuscan tradition, crock after crock. It will be a pleasant discovery!
Chickpea balls with tzatziki “in our way”
Greek yoghurt, garlic and cucumber are the main ingredients we have chosen to enhance the taste of these chickpea patties. Crunchy and creamy at the same time.
What better way to open a lunch or dinner?
First courses
Senatore Cappelli durum wheat spaghetti with rocket pesto and olives
The quality of Senatore Cappelli durum wheat is already a guarantee.
If homemade rocket pesto and olives enhance the flavor, what do you do? Close your eyes and dream, bite after bite.
Tagliatelle with basil and confit dates
The most famous Italian dish in the world, in a more contemporary version. In what way? We put basil in the dough!
Cappellacci ricotta and herbes o celery splash adn parmesan crumble
The season inspires us and celery is one of its fruits.
We have transformed it into a cream, which accompanies the pasta, strictly handmade. The filling? fills the mouth and explodes in the mouth bite after bite.
Main courses
Crispy Yolk with potatoes, peppers and egg white waves
Are you egg lovers? Then this is a must on your menu. A crispy, breaded yolk on a potato and pepper pie. Simple, but incredibly perfect.
Freaky pinzimonio
If your idea of pinzimonio is stuck in the classic ‘I wish I could but I can’t’ meal, it’s time for a change. The pinzimonio as you’ve never seen or eaten it before.
Simply red lentil and beetroot burger with vegan spirulina – flavored mayonnaise by Severino Becagli, vegan bbq sauce and sweet & sour carrots
A detailed presentation for a special and different burger.
We thought, made and tasted this dish and want to reassure even the most skeptical: you can be a hamburger, even without meat.
Salads
Day by day from the chef’s garden
The chef’s daily supply makes our salads mysterious and surprising at the same time.
How can you discover them? Visit us and ask our staff to tell you about them.
Desserts
Peach, amaretto and ricotta cream sauce
We were inspired by the classic panna cotta, which became “panna ricotta” for us.
And with the first peaches of the season, we made a coulis with them. The result? A simple, fresh dessert with intense flavors.
“Intingimi” selection
End of the meal, biscuits and sweet wine?
Home-made cantucci, to dip again, again and again.
Prosecco kanten balls with red fruits and vegan cream
Prosecco is drunk and eaten here!
Kanten Balls are a creative, balanced and beautiful dessert.
Today cake
Chocolate or cream? Dried fruit or fresh fruit?
The cake of the day is always different and just as delicious. The only way to choose your favorite version is to try them all.

Our vegetarian choice
Why a vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Florence?
ORA’s philosophy is simple and oriented towards sustainability and respect for the environment, people and animals.
A proposal of organic, biological and vegetarian products that is the result of the conviction that you can drink well, eat with taste and in a healthy way, while respecting the values and principles in which you believe.
Incorrect and unsustainable nutrition leads to pollution, social inequality, disease and great suffering for animals.
We are a group of activists, dreamers and visionaries, who have made their passion their work.
And that is why ORA is not just a place to drink, eat and spend time in good company, but a real model, a philosophy of life, an open space where we can promote values and practices that can no longer be put off.
