Publisher's Synopsis
Menus written in a foreign language are confusing and filled with slang and idioms. For instance, uccelli scappatti are 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 sumptuous meal. Eating & Drinking in Italy will give you the courage to go into out-of-the way places that you might never have considered going into before. This guide contains a thorough list of restaurants known for serving Italian regional specialties-the very places that can be the key to the kind of intimate and enjoyable experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.
