Vapiano is a chain that you can find in many many countries, the concept and the menu are the same.

Are there keto options at Vapiano?
Vapiano doesn’t only offer pasta and pizza but has more. Some options on the menu are keto. Some, need a bit of work, meaning, ask the chef to remove or replace one ingredient or two.
This is the great thing of Vapiano: you order directly to the chef and you can instruct them how to change your meal.
In every table of Vapiano restaurants, you’ll have oil, spicy oil, salt, spices, and herbs. Use them to customize your meal.
Keto starters at Vapiano
Let’s start from the beginning, with antipasti, starters.
Here’s the choices according to the menu.
Caprese
Caprese is one of the dishes that are naturally keto! The ingredients: Mozzarella di bufala, cherry tomatoes, basil, rocket salad. They have also balsamic vinegar: skip it, and replace it with oil.
Carpaccio
Carpaccio is made with thinly sliced beef filet, rocket salad, and Grana Padano. There is also a Cipriani sauce. What’s Cipriani sauce? It’s a tuscan sauce made with tomatoes, mayonnaise and Parmesan. Per se, is not a sauce high in carbs. I have no idea how the one from Vapiano is done. Evaluate if you trust a small sauce or you want to cut it and replace it with oil.
Sauce or no sauce, this starter is extremely filling and ketogenic.
Piatto antipasti grande
This means literally: “big plate of starters”. And by the ingredients, I would say the name is well chosen.
Ham, Grana Padano cheese, grilled vegetables, green olives, basil pesto (with pine nuts) and buffalo mozzarella.
