Hubby is taking me out to dinner tonight & I can't decide what to order.
I wont order a salad, because they're over priced at restaurants. I go out to enjoy what I eat.

    Can you have a salad to start and ask for the soup as a main course?

    I would get the Chicken Parmesan and Pizza Focaccia. Do they have beer?

    If it were me I would order whatever I want at the time. I don't go out to eat all the time and when I do it's usually for something healthy, so on the few rare occassions I go out I like to enjoy myself. In the grand scheme of things that one meal is not going to make a difference, so go ahead and eat whatever it is you want off that menu girlfriend and congrats on your pregnancy!

    omg... two of everything! :bigsmile: ... okay, if I was really trying to not go overboard tonight, I'd probably skip the pasta. But, if you're set on pasta, skip those with cream (white) sauces. Tomato (red) sauces are definite wins in the calorie and fat counting cateogries... maybe the Chicken Calabria? For a non-meat sandwich, the Milano Panini sounds good to me. It's hard to really tell what all the stuff may actually have on it, though.

    I know it's annoying that this place has NO nutrition info =( I wish I knew what sodium everything was. It's the main thing I'm trying to watch right now. But I'm a pasta girl when it comes to this place.

    Cheese Ravioli
    Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo
    Chicken Parmesan are my top picks...

    lol being prego I want them ALL hehehehe! jk, okay not really kidding =P

    No matter what you get I can guarantee you that you'd be way over on sodium for the day.

    Shrimp or Chicken Primavera - hold the alfredo sauce, ask them to go light on the oil & no parmesan

    that will probably run you about 500 calories by my estimation
    200 for the pasta
    200 for the chicken/shrimp
    50 for the veggies
    50 for miscellaneous - oil, etc.

    There's also no harm in adding red sauce to that at very little calorie burden

    There's also no harm in asking the chef to prepare you a light serving of pasta with steamed veggies and a chicken breast.

    I always say - don't be afraid to ask for what you want - if they have the ingredients, most restaurants will accomodate some "reshuffling"

    WOW! What a saucy menu! I'd probably go for the chicken primavera with the alfredo sauce on the side, and dip in to it. What did you end up getting?

    Leaving now. Going to probably get the ravioli. It comes with a choice of salad or soup, so I'll probably choose that caesar salad.
