Dos and Don'ts of Dining ItaliaDO start your meal off with a salad (light italian dressing or oil and vinegar on the side) or some minestrone soup.DON'T be afraid to request any of the seafood and poultry options grilled dry, with a heaping side of veggies. then season those vegetables with a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar, or dip 'em in a side of marinara.DO eat bread or pasta, just not both. In Italy, it is a no-no to eat bread and pasta at the same time. Just skip the butter (who needs it when you have warm crusty Italian bread!), and stick with tomato-based sauce on your noodles.DON'T order fish topped with cheese. nix the cheese and you'll save calories and fat grams. DO enjoy a bowl of fresh berries instead of some crazy, too-rich dessert.DON'T clear your plate. it's okay to take some home with you to enjoy the next day.DO ask for whole wheat pasta. many restaurants (including the massive olive garden chain) offer up the fiber-rich stuff as a filling alternative to plain white pasta.
