Keto friendliness

Italian cuisine is easily adaptable for keto dieters willing to make conscious substitutions and avoid traditional carb staples.

Top ingredients

Excellent traditional keto ingredients include olive oil, cured meats (prosciutto, salami), various cheeses (Parmesan, Pecorino, mozzarella), fresh fish, seafood, beef, chicken, eggs, and non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli rabe, zucchini, and eggplant.

Danger zones

The biggest carb traps are pasta, pizza, risotto, bread products, sugary tomato sauces, flour-thickened sauces, and all traditional desserts.

Best for

This cuisine works best for adaptable keto dieters who can focus on meat, fish, cheese, and vegetable-based dishes, avoiding starches and sugars.

What to drink

Drinks you will see at Italian restaurants, cafés and stalls, rated the same way as the food.
