VeganMoFo 2017: La Margherita, Bologna

VeganMoFo 2017: Peterland – Masterchips, Bologna

VeganMoFo 2017: Bio BO, Bologna

VeganMoFo 2017: Al Vecio Canton, Venice

Al Vecio Canton is not listed on Happy Cow, so I must have found it on another vegan travel blog.  There might well be a reason it hasn’t made it onto Happy Cow though.  It has only one vegan option … Continue reading
