Is vegetarian food available in Italy?

There are maybe not as many places here that are not strictly vegetarian, but it's not all that difficult to order vegetarian things off the many. Many risottos, for example, do not have meat. Try the risotto alla Milanese (with saffron) or risotto alla parmigiana - when they ask if you want aceto balsamico, say yes. You don't want a risotto alla pilota since that has sausage. here are lots of pasta dishes that don't have meat like spagheti aglio, olio e peperoncino (garlic, oil & red pepper flakes). There are many other choices - even peperoni pizza. Here peperoni is bell pepper.

Of course you can get vegetarian dishes in Italy. Without a problem in most areas

Boy oh boy, you people need to get out of this country more often...
