Overview
Organized by each of the 20 regions in Italy, readers will find "must-try" lists for food lovers, dishes and wines that are famous in the region, and the top cities and towns to visit to sip, savor, and get the most out of every bite. Sample panzerotti in Puglia, tortelloni in Tuscany, and spaghetti alle vongole in Venice. Don't skip the sorbetto or gelato for dessert (dolci). And when an Italian offers you a coffee (ti offro un caffè), it's a gesture of graciousness and friendship. You get into a brief quarrel over who pays and then you politely lose and say grazie.
Filled with beautiful photographs, Rick Steves Italy for Food Lovers also teaches readers food customs and cultures, including types of eateries you'll find in Italy, the best places to do food shopping, and the multiple courses that makeup a complete Italian meal (and strategies for ordering). Within the book, you'll find a list of 100 favorite restaurants, handpicked by co-authors Rick Steves and Fred Plotkin.
Rick Steves and co-author Fred Plotkin have devoted decades to traveling through Italy. In this book, they pass along those lessons to you. Appreciate good food the way Italians do with Rick Steves Italy for Food Lovers.
