Say this to the waiter (Italian)
Mi assicuri che la salsa non sia addensata con panna o farina. E niente contorni ad alto contenuto di carboidrati come riso o pane, per favore.
Please ensure no cream or flour is used to thicken the sauce. And no high-carb accompaniments like rice or bread.
Watch out for
Flour/cream thickeners in sauce; high-carb side dishes; overly sweet cognacs (though the actual sugar content from alcohol in a sauce is usually negligible).
