North Italia: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

North Italia doesn’t print a vegetarian symbol anywhere on its menu, but you can still get a good dinner if you know where to look. The wood-fired pizzas and vegetable sides carry the vegetarian options here, not the pasta list, and the chain publishes a nutrition guide instead of a full ingredient breakdown.

What to order at North Italia

Start with the Margherita Pizza or the Funghi Pizza, which pairs roasted mushroom with truffle and smoked mozzarella. The Cacio e Pepe Pizza, made with pecorino fonduta, works too. For a starter, the Heirloom Tomato & Burrata is vegetarian as served. If you want something heartier than pizza, the Summer Vegetable Risotto and sides like Roasted Mushrooms, Grilled Asparagus, and Spicy Broccolini round out a full plate, and the Agnolotti al Pomodoro is vegetarian if pasta is what you’re after.

What to watch out for

The pasta section leans hard into meat and seafood, so don’t assume a pasta dish is safe without checking first. North Italia doesn’t publish an ingredient list, only a nutrition guide, so servers are your best source for the details. Ask about butter before ordering the risotto or the vegetable sides, since restaurant kitchens often finish vegetables in butter or stock. Vegan diners have a tougher run here. Almost every vegetarian dish on the menu relies on dairy, whether that’s mozzarella on the pizza or butter in the sides, so there isn’t a clear vegan pick to fall back on.
