If they invited you, they obviously know they are going to pay for you, and expect you to order what you want.

exactly, you are making this harder than it should be.

get something REALLY messy that requires a "bib" of some sort, weather it be a lobster bib, napkin bib, or tablecloth bib it doesnt matter, just enough to make it so they never ask you out again 😀

Order the cheapest item on the menu and do not leave anything on the plate.

Since when is Italian expensive? Order whatever you want.

 

[Syrch]

Just order a meatball and a noodle

 

[Psyber]

Before ordering ask what they're getting and get something that is priced around the same as theirs

WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL SUGGESTING IDEAS? CAN YOU NOT READ POST DATES?

Carbonara is good. I also enjoy Amatriciani.

Just look at what they're ordering. Do they order wine? It's OK for you to order wine. Do they order something expensive? OK for you. Do they order dessert? OK for you (I like tiramisu).

Maybe the OP was planning ahead
And why did you just quote yourself?

 

[Steve]

I quoted myself to repeat myself. You don't suppose the dinner has come and gone already, hm?

 

[Phlargo]

as I said... I think there's something else that's interesting about this - it's the whole process of deciding what's reasonable. So what he's already been out and ordered the single most expensive thing on the menu ;-)
