Summary: Italy never looked or tasted better
Review: I love Italy and even more I love Italian food. This cookbook's lovely pictures of the Italian countryside and delicious food made me want to book a flight immediately! I have gone to cooking school in Tuscany and the recipes sing with essence of the amazing food found in trattorias and restaurants there. This is a good book both for those who are serious about cooking and for those who just love to travel with their senses thru beautiful and thoughtful books.

Summary: My favorite cookbook!
Review: I love this book. I got it as a Christmas gift and I use it all the time. The photographs are gorgeous and each recipe is illustrated. I like that the recipes are relatively simple and require few ingredients. I also enjoy the descriptions and definitions of terms and regions in Italy.

Summary: Wonderful Authentic Italian Classics
Review: I received this as a gift when we decided to go to Italy for our honeymoon. Upon receipt I leafed through the book but did not have the appreciation I do for it how. On the plane home from Italy I could not wait to dig into the book and attempt to cook the wonderful food I had just spent two weeks eating. This book not only serves as a wonderful travel reference guide, it serves up delicious, authentic Italian recipies. All of us who long to spend long evenings in a Florence Trattoria, this is a must-have!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Can Not Browse Through This Book Without Being Inspired!
Review: This book has become one of my favorite Italian cookbooks. The photographs are so glorious, you cannot browse through it without running to the kitchen afterwards, inspired to create some tasty dish. As the Italian Food Host @ BellaOnline, I am always looking for inspiration to create new Italian recipes, and this book has lots! I have made over twenty of the recipes so far for family and friends, and every one has been a big hit. This book is well worth the money!

Summary: Belllisimo!
Review: This book is simply gorgeous. It's recipes are simple but elegant. I recently purchased it and have made several recipes including the panzella (incredible), and only takes 25 min. to do and the prosuitto wrapped asparagus with mozzerella, (amazing) don't forget to sprinkle with paprikah. Most recipes use fresh ingredients, a mainstay of italian cooking, and they are easy yet impressive. This book is a must for all who enjoy cooking and for those who do not, it has wonderful descriptions of the regional origination of each recipe and beautiful accompanying pictures. You can travel to italy without even leaving your kitchen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: This is one of those priceless, beautiful cookbooks that can easily do double duty as a coffee table book. Speaking as a grandson of Guido and Katherine Agostinelli, I think I can speak with a certain amount of authority with regard to this cookbook when I say "That's Italian." Readers can be inspired by the photographs to try to improve their own culinary abilities. Personally, I have been known to burn a bowl full of Raisin Bran, (don't ask, I can find a way, believe me,) but with this book I'm inspired to try all kinds of great recipes.

It's divided into sections on antipasti, pizzas, breads, pastas, risotti, soups, fish, poultry, meat, frittatas, seasonal vegetables, salads, cakes, cookies, and fruit desserts. Every section is beautiful, inspiring, and ultimately delicious. Two thumbs up.
