Eating Vegan in Rome

Tim and I have been eating a plant based diet for two months in order to lower our cholesterol especially our LDL. So our challenge is to find Vegan options in Italy! Our first meal was actually last evening at a Restaurant called Wanted. We asked if he had any vegan options and the waiter said no. But we found Pizza Marinara on the menu (only tomato sauce) and had him top it off with arugula. It was quite yummy!

We had breakfast this morning at our lodging. Our selections were narrow but Okay. Muesli with soy milk, watermelon and pineapple and bread with jam.

For lunch we headed to Rifugio Romano near the train station. Half of their menu is vegan. Yeah!! Tim had pasta with green beans, pesto and cashew potato sauce. I had an eggplant stuffed with tomatoes, tempeh, beans and the cashew potato sauce. Both were quite yummy. Because we had to wait so long for our food, we were treated to a bit of limoncello.

We weren’t very hungry in the evening, so shared a vegetarian sandwich(without the mozzarella 🙁). Then we were on a hunt for non dairy gelato! We found Gelateria dell’Angeletto. Half of the choices were vegan and were marked by the blue handle on the scoop! Very clever.

We didn’t miss the meat or dairy today! Well maybe the mozzarella. 😄
