Venice

Question

Hi guys.

My wife and I are lacto vegetarians, though often when traveling we tend to go for vegan options.
We are visiting Venice soon and while we have seen the happy cow list, we have noticed that the pure vegetarian/vegan places are less compared to places that serve meat but have veg options and we are really strict when it comes to cross contamination so don't usually eat at places the serve any meat or eggs.
Unfortunately la tecia vegana will be closed while we are there!
Just wanted to ask if the places that serve meat are careful when it comes to cross contamination? Or do they use mixed utensils and ovens?
Also do the places listed as vegetarian use egg on the premises? 

Finally, we may do some day trips to places like Verona etc which also seem to have a few options. Any recommendations for any nearby (within 2 hours reach) places?

vegetarian generellay includes milk and egg so a guess that a vegetarian establishment has eggs would be an educated guess.
i get it, being vegetarian for religious reasons, thus milk is okay bc but eggs not, bc eggs have (theoretically) the capacity to grow into a new life. i never can fully support this view and even slightly resent it bc the holder of such a view doesnt have an interest of avoiding cruelty of actual living beings.
