Love this cookbook. I bought this because I love Chicago but live in Nashville and figured I could try to make some of my favorite foods. It has all the favorite recipes like deep dish pizza, Italian beef, pizza pockets and a huge assortment of dishes I have not had but plan to try.  Some recipes are complicated but some are easy I would say this book is more for your mid level cook not a beginner

This is the Italian cookbook we use most. It has so many great recipes -- not surprising since Chef Stipo is an Italian-American who lived in Sienna for many years. We especially love the sauces: artichoke & citrus, gorgonzola, walnut cream, cacio e pepe, etc. Also the white bean dip/spread and the bagna cauda.

This is not a coffee table cookbook with slick photos. In fact, there are no photos, but you won't miss them.  The recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients are things one can find in any US grocery store.  I can't imagine anyone not loving this chef's recipes.

Photos: Tuscan white bean spread w/ rosemary.  Gnocchi with walnut cream sauce. Bowtie pasta with gorgonzola sauce as a side to accompany beef tenderloin tips.

I love this book. I received this same book as a wedding gift 30 years ago, and have enjoyed it so much that I have purchased one for my son and his fiance'.  I think they will enjoy it equally as well. I think it is a wonderful idea to give cookbooks that are especially from your state or region.

Elegantly bound volume that would be addition to any cook's library.  Great idea.  Greater photos to accompany the greatest of all Northern Italian recipes!

This book is wonderful.  Having an Italian heritage I've enjoyed many years of those family dinners.  I've given the book as gifts to many people.  It is coffee table worthy.  The dinners are beautifully represented. The recipes are wonderful, easy to follow and taste like authentic Italian cooking. I highly recommend it.

This is one of my favorite Italian cookbooks. Old school perfection. There are no photographs of dishes in here, just a sprinkling of drawings, but Id not let that be a deterrent.

Ive made homemade pastas before, but Ive never seen instruction as clear and detailed as hers. The Ravioli Filled with Sweet Potatoes (flavored with amaretti cookies, prosciutto, parmigiano-reggiano, parsley, and nutmeg) in a Butter and Parmesan cheese sauce was just outstanding. Im a little horrified by the rate my teenagers inhaled theirs, but it was beautiful.

The Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi with a Tomato and Heavy Cream Sauce was divine, and although time consuming, not difficult at all.

The Baked Stuffed Mushroom Caps were amazing. The pancetta, herbs, garlic and anchovy flavors were spot on, but the addition of the dried porcini mushrooms made the dish really special.

Pasta tossed in the Tomato Sauce with Olive Oil and Chopped Vegetables is easy enough for a weeknight meal. The Rosemary and Pancetta variation is gorgeous.

I'm a cookbook aficionado and love to cook but I really thought I had enough cookbooks until I watched Ciao Italia with Mary Ann Esposito...loved her simple recipes but didn't want to have to sit and write them down during her show so I checked online, found it on Amazon through Goodwill: Great price, book was in great shape, shipped fast and I'm thrilled! Highly recommend Ciao Italia for good recipes and interesting commentary.

The recipes in this book are from Alessandra Spisni who is a leader of classic Bolognese Cuisine.

Not just lasagna and rag&ugrave; but many more traditional recipes.

It is written in Italian. No English editions at this time.

The recipes and the photographs are exquisite.

This book is a wonderful testament to traditional Italian recipes made by many nonnas. The recipes are simply written and super easy to follow. The personal nonna stories are endearing and lend an authenticity to the dishes. The photography of the dishes that were shared is beautiful. This is a quality cookbook that will be enjoyed forever along with its generous spirit Bravo Nonna and Rosella!!

Very happy with the purchase of this cookbook. I had an old paperback copy of this favorite cookbook, which was falling apart. Thanks for quick service.

I visited Santa Ynez Valley very often but wasn't able to do it the last 10 years. So, I mist the oppurtunity to visit the Trattoria. But I promised to myself to do in the future. For now I enjoy the Cookbook. Is the best of ALL my Italian Cookbooks. I love the Photos. A lot of it (I don't like Cookbooks with few or no Photos because I have to SEE how it looks). Photos are from done Dishes or People, the Restraunt, Wines etc.. I love to cook but sometimes I have times I don't like to do it. But after I read the Book I had to make a List for Ingridients and can't wait to start. You got it all: Appetizer, Pasta, Fish, Poultry, Meat and Desserts. When you see the Photos the Food looks like you need to be a Chef to cook it but when you read the "how to do it", it's easy to understand and to do it. No exotic Ingridients. If you cook Italian Food you will have the stuff in your Pantry. The Book is a great Gift for People who like to cook or for yourself.
