"It’s not so much that Italian food is laden with meat, but there is a strong association of Italian food with cheese, which can make things difficult for a vegan to do an Italian dinner out. Enter Baia, which promises pasta, pizzas, and appetizers — all made vegan. Add onto the fact that the pasta and pizza crust can be made gluten-free on request, and you’ve got an inclusive Italian dinner for all." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
