Reader Reviews:
As heartwarming as an old family photo album. (3/3 people found this helpful)
This book is as enjoyable to read as it is to cook from. The stories from this world class restaurant alone are enough to keep you turning the pages in anticipation. The recipes are easy to follow and at the same time hard to screw up. I have found that almost every one of them can be subject to artistic liberty and still turn out magnificent. Gangivecchio is ahead of Saint Peters Basillica on my list of things to do the next time I am in the Mediterranean. I'm quite sure the Cannoli alone are worth the air fare.
A fantastic addition to your Italian cookery shelf (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is a wonderful book, full of very interesting background into the cooking of the region and to the personalities of the proprietors of the restaurant. While not all recipes are ones that you will make on the spur of the moment, many are worth the effort. I have thrown several dinners of recipes from this book and they have won raves from all attendees.
