Publisher's Synopsis
The most complete Italian-language menu translator available, plus great restaurant picks for Italy's major cities and towns! It isn't the chicken you thought you ordered. It's a plate of cold brains. Nor is it the delectable slices of beef braised in red wine; those are veal kidneys. These are the pitfalls of ordering off a menu in a foreign country. Uccelli scappatti are skewered sausages grilled with sage, but the word means "escaped birds." Stinco is braised veal or pork shank. Nothing can make a trip more enjoyable and rewarding than being able to order a great meal without having an anxiety attack. Eating & Drinking in Italian includes: - A great (and down-to-earth) restaurant guide - A comprehensive Italian-menu translator - Advice on restaurant etiquette - A short pronunciation guide - Opinions on everything food-related, from what to eat to where to get it...
