Shared dietary preferences are one of many lifestyle compatibility questions Nonna scores — so vegetarian singles find matches who fit the diet AND the deeper stuff. On an inclusive app, not one that walls you off.
For readers who want a partner who eats the way they do AND matches on values. Nonna scores both without letting one become a proxy for the other.
The first date is dinner. NYC has a real vegetarian and plant-forward restaurant scene — the East Village and Williamsburg are natural first-date territory.
For readers whose diet comes from ethics — Nonna scores the values dimension separately so the whole picture lines up.
You're vegetarian and it's part of your life, but it's not the whole thing you are. Nonna captures dietary alignment as one lifestyle question of many — so the match has to work on values, life vision, and everything else too. That's a real match, not a shared-label one.
Compatibility on the Vegetarian filter looks different depending on how central it is to you — Nonna captures the strength of the preference, not just its existence:
The relevant question(s) from the live compatibility quiz — the same instrument every member takes, scored on the same scale for everyone:
“How important are shared food preferences or dietary choices?”
Multi-choice — captures how much dietary alignment actually matters vs. an "our own is fine" match.
“How do you most like to spend a free weekend?”
Multi-select — food + culture options here surface fellow food-forward singles.
