#RAW Florence
A raw-vegan cafe
For a Californian like myself, Raw is a place that brings me close to home; because my home is the land of fresh juice, salads and avocados, I am pleasantly reminded of that modo di essere at this entirely raw-vegan cafe. Raw is not a place that tries to mimic a style that may appeal to tourists -- it is instead a place that executes a raw menu with much creativity and much innovation.
It is clear that a good deal of research and experimentation has gone into creating the menu, and that this work continues on, as the menu is ever evolving. I suspect that this is both because of the use of seasonal produce and because of a continuous curiosity on the part of the chefs to try new takes on raw-vegan cuisine. My favorites on the menu are the raw "gelato," the nori rolls, the avocado "toast," and the raw cacao cake.

Best Pizza In Florence?
Their pizzas are nothing short of incredible, thanks to a carefully crafted dough left to rise for 36 hours. But remember to save room for dessert!

Wine & oil from the neighbourhood
