Italian Food

I am going out for an Italian Meal tonight. Any advice on the best ways to keep the calories in check? I will have expresso instead of dessert but what are the best main courses? All help appreciated.

any of the tomato based sauces are best. ones like alfredo that are creamy are not good. also cheese is not good. if you can get cheese on the side and add a pinch yourself it would be better. also see if they can replace the regular noodles with wheat noodles. and salads are always a winner as long as it isnt loaded with processed stuff and you use balsamic vinegar dressing. Also avoid too much garlic bread! hope you have fun!
