Product Description

Product Description
No one wants to spend a vacation eating in hotel restaurants and tourist traps - especially in Italy, home to some of the finest food in Europe. But the authentic, cozy, informal neighbourhood trattorias can be hard to find in a country that has catered to tourists since the days when all roads led to Rome. Now there's help, in an informative guide as friendly and inviting as a steaming plate of home made fettucini. In Trattorias of Rome, Florence and Venice, New York Times restaurant reviewer Maureen B. Fant tells even the least intrepid traveller how to find the most memorable meals in three favourite Italian cities. With rankings, prices, specialities, directions and contact information, this book will make readers feel like true afficionadoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to dining in Rome, Florence, and Venice, 24 May 2001
Don't read this book on an empty stomach--unless, of course, you happen to be in Rome, Florence, or Venice. In which case you have an informed and personal guide to a wide range of restaurants, and not just trattorias: some are quite elegant ('serious restaurant'), with prices to match, but then we occasionally want to splurge, don't we?

This is the guide I have been longing to have on all my visits to Italy. It is hard to judge the quality of the restaurant either from the way it looks on the outside or from the menu. Now I know not only where to go (mini-maps would have been helpful), but what to eat once I get there. The emphasis is on the local cuisine, and waiters are always appreciative when you tell them that you want to eat the house specialities. For those whose Italian is minimal, there is a helpful glossary of food terms, so you don't have to put up with such memorable translations as 'dough with beans' (pasta e fagioli).

On my first trip to Rome with this guide I found old favourites and explored restaurants I would never have discovered, with delicious results. Maureen Fant's book is an indispensable companion for all travellers bound for Italy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good source for off-beat eating in these busy tourist traps., 10 May 2002
By A Customer
Armed with Maureen Fant's guide we set off on foot in each city to find some of her selections. We were delighted by each discovery. Out of the way and mainstream, each choice surprised and enchanted. I wish there was a guide like this for every city. Easy to use too.
