Travelling through Italy as a vegan or vegetarian might seem challenging at first, given the country's strong culinary tradition centred around meat, cheese, and fish. These ingredients are proudly showcased in quaint bottegas and market stalls, and they often sneak into sandwiches and stuffed pasta dishes nearly everywhere you go.

What many people don't realise is that "the boot" is also a haven of seasonal vegetables, where you can treat yourself to a delicious "aglio olio and peperoncino" (garlic, olive oil, and chilli) pasta or a Margarita pizza, lavishly topped with tomato, garlic, oregano, extra virgin olive oil, and nothing else.

Pro Tip: Italy is a natively non-English speaking country that speaks Italian, so you might find it difficult to understand what they're serving. Nomenclatures for even the most simple things like tomatoes, might be difficult to understand. Use Google Translate to make sure what you're ordering is strictly vegetarian.
