Not looking forward to holiday in Turin, Italy.?

can't you just stay in your hotel room all the time, at least you wont't make the others sick to death of your complaining.

You should be grateful instead of complaining. there are many people who will never have such an opportunity. Think about what you can do and can eat. there are many of us in the world with dietary restrictions, I have celiac disease and cannot have wheat, rye or barley. NO PASTA. NO BREAD. chefs and restaurants in Italy cook all dishes made to order, there is no assembly line food. Simply inform your server and they will make your food to order. do your research.
