Rating:
Summary: Great Book! Great Place to eat!
Review: After watching the Scotto family on FOOD TV, It was a must to buy the cookbook. The mouth-watering recipes are a delight! We decided to visit the posh FrescobyScotto restaurant after hearing the great reviews. YUMMY! The food was AWESOME! My boyfriend is Italian and usually critiques every Italian restaurant, but Scotto's restaurant by far is one of his favorites.

Review: I have read the book cover to cover and sampled many of the receipies. The pictures and the stories make you feel like you are part of the family. This book is a great find for people who like to cook, eat and laugh. Its rare you find a cook book that is as entertaining as this one.

Summary: THIS BOOK MAKES YOU HUNGRY
Review: I TRIED A FEW OFTHE RECIPES AND I FELT LIKE I WAS ON VACATION IN ITALY. THEY WERE AUTHENTIC, EASY TO FOLLOW AND DELICIOUS! I ENJOYED THE PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE BOOK AND THE NON-COOKING STORIES WERE FUN TO READ! THIS BOOK COULD GO ON YOUR COFFEE TAABLE AS WELL AS IN YOUR KITCHEN.

Review: I was very, very disappointed in this book. The title is misleading in every way. If I had a kitchen staff of 15, these receipes would work. The receipes are time consumming and I did not find one receipe that was comforting. I saw this book advertised on Good Day NY and purchased the book immediately. I thought the biggest downfall was that there were no pictures of the foods. Presentation is very important and this book lacks it. I could of lived without the celebrity name dropping and would have loved pictures of the foods. I might of taken on the challenge of the time consuming receipes had I known seen a picture of it. There was one receipe I would have considered to prepare and then the book mentioned that it was Kathie Lee Gifford's favorite food. That ruined it right there.
