Summary: Fun to read, but filled with errors......
Comment: As a native Italian with many years of cooking experience, I am always looking for books to expand my knowledge and buy whatever reference books become available. I bought this sight unseen, and was a little upset when I reviewed terms that I am intimately familiar with, only to see them misinterpreted. I could site many examples of this, not the least of which being the definition cited for lampredotto, a unique type of tripe that any Florentine would know, (not the roll it is served on)...Mr. Mariani, you needed to do more research!

Summary: Perfect guide when dining in an Italian restaurant
Comment: This book has come to my rescue repeatedly when trying to differentiate between different kinds of pasta. For example, if you're not sure how fettuccine differs from fusilli, here you can find the answer.
I've tried several of the recipes and the one for pesto along with one for my favorite dessert, Zabaione, a warm, frothy, wine-based egg custard, will bring pleasure to anyone seeking scrumptious fare.
Mariani knows his subject. I've been an avid reader of his books. This book is well written, interesting and easy to use. I take it along not only when dining in Italian restaurants and when shopping for ingredients. It would also be an asset for travelers bound for Italy.
