Eating out
What can a vegan order in an Italian restaurant?
Short answer
Tomato or aglio e olio pasta without cheese, pizza marinara (no mozzarella), grilled vegetables, risotto without butter and cheese if the kitchen confirms. Avoid carbonara, cacio e pepe, pesto, anchovies.
Marinara is traditionally cheese-free. In Poland a “veggie pizza” often still has cheese — ask.
Stock and butter in risotto are a common detail.
