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! 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Eating & Drinking in Italy: Italian Menu Translator and Restaurant Guide (Open Road Travel Guides) (Paperback) This is a must have guide for anyone who wants to really understand what they are eating or shopping for at the open air markets in Italy. While I speak "un po" Italiano, I don't have a command for the language at all and I really am interested in the foods and wines. So, when I purchased this book, I had a world that was opened up to me during my food experiences in Italy. It made ordering so much easier and more pleasurable. And I could share it with other English speaking people around me. I highly recommend this book for anyone going to Italy. And, if I travel to other cities where these two gentelman have written a guide book for, I will be sure to secure one before beginning my journey. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Eating & Drinking in Italy: Italian Menu Translator and Restaurant Guide (Open Road Travel Guides) (Paperback) This book is awesome, we live in Italy most of the year and dining out has proven to be difficult at times. This book is small enough to carry with you and easy to understand and very informative. A real must for anyone traveling or dining out in Italy. |
