Restaurant Menus

I’m going to the ASK Italian Restaurant for dinner and I was wondering what would be best to eat (not a salad =( )as I don’t want to blow my diet. Here’s the menu but there’s no nutritional information.

Thank you!

Yum, Italian food! <3

Avoid the majority of the nibbles, breads and starters.
Look for the baked, poached, roasted, boiled, grilled and steamed or uncooked meals rather than things fried.
Creamy sauces and dishes usually mean quite a bit of fat and calories.
Share the dishes or sides, such as bread or fries, with each other to control portions.

The Liguine Alla Vongole sounds alright. As does the Gamberi E Rucola. You could always also ask them to use little or no wine when they make you the dish.
The Spaghetti Al Pomodoro also sounds pretty healthy. Just make sure to ask for them to use only a little bit of olive oil.
Ravioli Marittimo sounds ok, but ask them about the ‘creamy’ sauce in case. If it’s not too buttery or cheesy, go for it.

If you’re not up for pasta, then try the Terrina Mediterannea. It sounds pretty yum to me and poultry tends to be a better choice than red meat.
The Salmon Rustico also sounds not too bad. Again, ask for no or little wine.

Pizza, for me, is always best at Pizza Express, so personally, I would try something else. However, if you still want one, I think either the Verdure, Margherita or Pollo Piccante Con Pancetta are the best choices. Always avoid the ones with the fatty meats such as salami or pepperoni.

Insalata Al Tonno e Fagioli actually sounds great, but since you really don’t want a salad, I’m not going to suggest it. Definitely avoid the pan-fried chicken one though.

Why not order a side salad instead of their potatoes or fries?

And if you do decide to get dessert, definitely opt for a sorbet.

I was looking at one of my Italian restaurant take out/delivery menus (deciding what to have for lunch) and then I notice two different kind of cheeseburgers on their menu.

One says cheeseburger and the other one says italian cheeseburgers.

Any difference?

Thanks!

There are many differences :

1. The name itself.

2. The Italian cheeseburger is from Italy and the regular one could be from anywhere.

3. The cheeseburger which you are asking about may have been eaten by an Italian, hence the name Italian cheeseburger.

4. Italian cheeseburger : The ‘I’ has been written using a capital letter, whereas ‘regular’ has been written using a small ‘r’.

5. All cheeseburgers are different. Two things cannot be the same in this world. So naturally, an Italian cheeseburger and a regular cheeseburger will be different, as different as chalk from cheese.

You can ask me any number of questions. Am ready to reply.

Hello, got a bit of a problem. Going to Ask Italian restaurant next Saturday and want to choose the healthiest and lowest calorie option but due to the menu changes I am unsure what would be best. Could anyone please enlighten me about the approximate calories of the following and which would be the best choices? Thanks.

* Linguine alla vongole – Ribbons of pasta cooked with shell-on clams, garlic, white wine, chilli, red onion and Santos tomatoes, in this traditional Italian recipe. Lemon juice and zest give a final twist to a spicy dish.

* Linguine gamberi e Rucola – King prawns sautéed in olive oil, in a garlic, tomato and white wine sauce with rocket and oven-roasted tomatoes.

* Spaghetti al pomodo – Rich tomato sauce prepared to let its ingredients shine. Garlic, fresh basil and Santos tomatoes, with torn buffalo mozzarella and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

* Salmone Rustico – A fillet of Scottish salmon roasted with a sauce of cherry tomatoes, red onion, black olives and white wine. Served with sautéed garlic green beans, roasted new Charlotte potatoes and drizzled with pesto.

All those are quite healthy. If you don’t eat much fish then go for the salmon for lots of Omega-3

I have to make a restaurant menu in Latin. Sooo, any name suggestions? and nothing with fake words, I can’t translate that into Latin. Thanks!

Pasta are us!
