“The Hungry Traveler: Italy” - Indispensable Guide to Italian Food

hungry People who know me know that I enjoy good food. I consider a good meal a vacation experience worth spending money on, and have food memories from every holiday I’ve ever taken. So when friends have been planning trips to Italy, they usually ask me where to eat. While I don’t have a list of restaurants I’ve eaten in all over the country, I do have a personally tested method of ensuring I eat well in Italy. It’s a tiny book, about the size of a phrasebook, and it’s called The Hungry Traveler: Italy. And I don’t go to Italy without it.

What this little dining-in-Italy Bible gives you is a leg up over all the other tourists visiting the same cities you are. The ones who don’t know any better will flock to the restaurants which offer multi-lingual menus and familiar dishes. Many of them won’t care, as their idea of a holiday doesn’t involve spending two hours in a trattoria for lunch. If, on the other hand, you’re like me, you’ll love The Hungry Traveler. It breaks the country down by region, telling you what each region is famous for food-wise and also what’s in season when, so you know what to look for on menus. It also gives you a mini menu translator, so you can steer clear of the multi-lingual menus as well as the rest of the tourists.

Order what’s fresh, order what’s local, stay away from places catering to tourists and you’ll eat well anywhere on the planet. The Hungry Traveler: Italy will help you create food memories which can last a lifetime.
