Italy for the Gourmet Travel

“Most restaurant guides to Italy list famous and very costly ‘temples of gastronomy' or eateries that offer cheap but filling tourist menus, but this book is intended to direct you to the flavors that Italians grew up with and cherish.”

That's the guiding thought behind this book. Fred Plotkin takes you through Italy and shares with you the amazing classic tastes of each town and region. He shares, of course, restaurants. He also shares food markets. He even lists good bookstores in some of the cities.

“My idea of what makes a good restaurant is that you feel the food has been cooked for you.”

And that's what he does. In 723 amazing pages.
