While we always suggest booking your villa in Italy as far in advance as possible in order to have the widest range of options and dates to choose from, we understand that for some people this is not easy to do. Maybe it is hard to get time off of work or perhaps you have lots of different things going on and you are just too busy to think about it in advance – we understand, that can happen! However, this does not mean that you have to miss out on a perfect vacation, especially as you are probably very much in need of one! Simply check our our last-minute villas in Italy and you will find options where you can head off on vacation in the next couple of weeks.

Are there vegetarian restaurants in Rome?


Italy is famous for her food and it is true that there are endless delicious things to eat and an untold number of remarkable restaurants and street food sellers and markets and more where you can find amazing dishes. Many of these dishes are meat-based but there are plenty of typical Italian dishes without meat that are wonderful options for vegetarians and will be found pretty readily on any menu. However, if you’re a vegetarian or a vegan and you’re on holidays, you might want to have lots and lots of tasty options - a whole menu of them - not just a smaller selection of suitable dishes. 


Rome, as the capital, is one of the cities with the most variety when it comes to amenities, restaurants, and stores and, therefore, has plenty of specialised eateries to choose from. So, if you want to book one of our vacation rentals in Rome and you are veggie or vegan and hope to eat very well during your trip, we have put together a small guide with answers to common questions about veggie-friendly options in the Eternal City.
