Help me guesstimate calories / choose dinner

bluepenguin1

Hi everyone - I am heading to a dinner here tonight and am curious what everyone thinks would be the best choice? (Bearing in mind I am vegetarian).

I was thinking maybe the spinach and ricotta gnudi (which has about 8 gnudis just smaller than a ping pong ball - does anyone have a calorie estimate for that?

Also, if I were to have dessert (which at the moment I am thinking I won't but as everyone else will be, I would like to participate) - does anyone have any idea how many calories the watermelon jelly would have?

I know its impossible to get exact figures but any ball park estimates would be awesome and grately appreciated.

Thank you!

Sorry, I din't even know what a gnudi is.

I had to google it too! :

Gnudi (pronounced "nu-dee") is a type of gnocchi made from ricotta cheese and a little bit of flour. The result is a dumpling that some describe as "nude" ravioli, or filling without the pasta — that is to say, light, fluffy, and creamy.Nov 4, 2009

No idea on the calorie counts but a good stategy is to split dessert with someone. Automatically half the cals and I find usually half is enough to satisfy. Those Gnudis sound amazing

Also more of a comment, those prices are so cheap

Spitballing, I'd say you're looking at around a grand with the two items,
your gnudi and jelly dessert. Give or take ~200 cals. But that's just
guessing.

thanks! Do you think the jelly / granita dessert would have less calories than the panna cotta? Basically I don't mind what I have (if I get dessert) so would be really happy to pick the lowest cal option.

I agree the prices are cheap - its one of my favourite places and that is part of the reason!
