Editorial Review: Product Description: Nothing can make a trip to Italy more enjoyable and rewarding than a great dining experience—that is, of course, if you know what you’re ordering! This handy, pocket-sized guide helps you navigate Italian menus, in addition to steering you to some great Italian restaurants, bistros, cafes, wine shops, and food markets. Most of the book is a comprehensive menu reader, translating thousands of Italian words into English. There are also sections on restaurant etiquette, a pronunciation guide, English-to-Italian words and phrases, and descriptions of the many different kinds of eating establishments in Italy. Reviews: "...an opinionated little compendium...the right size for a traveler"—The New York Times "A charming and whimsical guide...irresistible"—Chicago Tribune "...a terrific primer for first time visitors...a pack-along must for the less-adventurous eater."—Houston Chronicle "...elegant"—Minneapolis Tribune "...opening up the world of good eating with their innovative paperback series."—Salt Lake Tribune Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great book!We just got back from a 1 week trip in Italy to Pisa, Cararra, Parma and Monte San Sevino. This book was perfect for translating menus during our trip. 99% of what we were looking for was in the book! It was slim and lightweight and was not a burden to carry with me everyday. We did not visit any of the cities of the restaurants listed in the book so I can't comment on the restaurant recommendations. We used it in addition to the Rick Steves' Italian section of his French, Italian and German phrase book. I left it with the owner of a restaurant in Monte San Sevino. I'll be ordering another one soon and looking for Herbach's guide to Eating in France for our next trip. Rating: - Where to eat. What to eat!Not only does this book have the most comprehensive menu translator available (and it really can save you from making some huge mistakes when ordering), but the restaurant recommendations are perfect if you're looking for excellent Italian dining. There are great recommendations for restaurants in Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan that we used on our last trip. We dined at moderate prices on great meals thanks to this pocket sized book. Highly recommended! Rating:  - does the jobIf you need a little help reading an Italian menu, this will do. |
