Vegetarian options at La Pilastra
La Pilastra is not a vegetarian restaurant, but its menu has vegetarian options: dishes with no meat or fish in their description, such as the beetroot with Greek yoghurt, the Margherita and vegetable pizzas and several desserts. If your diet is strict, ask about the cheeses and preparation when you order.
Dishes with no meat or fish on the menu
According to their descriptions on the menu, these dishes contain no meat or fish:
- Beetroot with Greek yoghurt.
- Margherita pizza and vegetable pizza.
- Fresh pasta with pesto, which includes parmesan.
- Desserts: cheesecake, pistachio cake and white chocolate cake, chocolate coulant and vanilla ice cream with olive oil.
What to ask about
A menu description gives the main ingredients, not everything that goes into a dish. If you avoid all animal products other than dairy and eggs, ask about stocks, fats or doughs when you order.
Cheese can be made with animal rennet: parmesan usually is, and mozzarella or the cheesecake may be too. If that matters to you, ask before choosing.
Watch out for dishes that sound light but are not vegetarian: the Caesar salad has chicken and bacon, and the La Pilastra pizza, one of the suggestions, has guanciale. Suggestions change, so ask about the day’s.
If you are vegan
According to the declared allergens, most meat-free dishes contain milk or egg, so vegan options are very limited. Call or message before you come so the team can tell you what they can prepare.
If you also avoid an allergen, see allergens and gluten-free; for a casual meal, the pizza and fresh pasta page covers that side of the menu.
