Long-standing Italian restaurant Govinda silences detractors of vegetarianism by proving that meat-free dining can also be filling, flavorful and oh-so-indulgent. Many classic Italian dishes are present and accounted for: ravioli, melanzane parmigiana, minestrone, insalata cappricciosa and pizza salami (with soy sausage, of course). Pastas are homemade and egg-free, and the gnocchi and risotto gluten-free. Mozzarella cheese is abundant and liberally tops the thin-crust pizzas, although soy-cheese substitutes are also available.
