Re: What's for Dinner?
Antipasto is your new best friend. Cheese, salumi, pickled and marinated veggies, they're all delicious and fill you up nicely. Enjoy those first to take the edge off and you'll be fortified against the bread and pasta.
For the main course, don't forget fish. Any Italian restaurant worth its salt should have delicious roasted or grilled fish options. If the meat/fish dish comes with potatoes, ask for them to be replaced with a non-root vegetable that's also on the menu, like maybe sauteed spinach and garlic. Or else just order a salad or something a la carte and give the potatoes to fiance.
Don't be afraid, Limoncello. It's just a restaurant. Even Mississippi finally ratified the 14th Amendment. Only you own your body.
