Suggest places you know she'd like, but you could get something you'd like. And be darn enthusiastic and specific about them.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

I don't really know the places that she likes. She usually picks somewhere different each year, someplace new that she wants to try.
She's also seriously overestimating how difficult it is to get vegan food. Just about everywhere, if there's not something actually vegan on the menu, then there's something where I can say "I'll have this, without the cheese" or whatever, and at pretty much all restaurants other than fast food, if there's actually nothing on the menu, I can ask the waiter, who will usually say "Oh, yeah, the chef has this dish he makes when vegans come in, it's not on the menu," or the waiter will talk to the chef and I'll get some pasta or something. I know that I'm not going to get something I love at every meal. I'm willing to have a plate of pasta with tomato sauce, or a big salad, or something like that. My mom just doesn't seem willing to watch me eat that.

Bleh. I'm feeling the beginnings of a panic attack. I thought I'd gotten these under control.

Welcome Kalliope!
Hil, doesn't pasta usually have eggs? Or is that just the kind with egg in the name?

Generally, fresh pasta has eggs, dried pasta does not.

Most commercially made pasta is egg-free (but comes with a "THE MACHINE NEXT TO THE ONE MAKING THE STUFF IN HERE MAY HAVE HAD SOME EGGS OR NUTS ON IT" warning on the box for allergic peeps).
So a high-end Italian restaurant is probably not serving vegan pasta, but spaghetti almost anywhere else should be okay.
