Book Description
From Library Journal
If you are looking for a real "taste of Italy" as well as a means of saving money, Baglivi's book will guide you to the trattoria (restaurants) where the natives eat. For each of the 12 regions, from Latium to Friuli-Venezia
Giulia, are listed the name of the establishment, phone numbers, hours of operation, cost of a sample meal, and wheelchair accessibility. A brief sketch of the interior gives a feel for local color, while the menu choices of the author and her husband
detail food specialties of the area. A bonus is a brief lesson in Italian dining phrases and pronunciations. Baglivi, who has won the Da Vinci Award for excellence in Italian language and culture, has produced a valuable guidebook that allows the tourist
to sample dishes not ordinarily found on the tourist circuit. Recommended for public libraries.?Lucille Corbo, MLS, Scranton, Pa.
