The ultimate foodie travel guide

This book is a gem. Lonely Planet has some of the best, behind the scenes, adventurous and independent minded travel guides....."World Food, Italy" never strays from this focus. Better yet, it for the true food loving traveler. It doesn't provide tips on the hottest restaurants to visit in this vast dining paradise, but instead gives insight into Italian culture through food and describes each region by their food, letting you know, region by region, what delicacies just can't be missed. Excellent!

Food for daydreams

This small, hand-sized guide is packed with information about Italy and its food. There are useful maps, glossy color pictures and page after page of useful information about Italian cuisine, Italian food staples and specialties and drinks.

Plus, there are sections about Italian home cooking, regional food specialties and food celebrations, as well as tips about food shopping, and places to eat and drink.

There is even a 72-page guide to Italian food language.

Italian food described

I own the LP world food Hong Kong and it was so useful that I decided to purchase the Italian version. Even though I know quite a bit about Italian food, it was nice to read the background material and have information about customs. Further the book includes a listing of gelato flavors (essential) and a food glossary in the back. Although not quite as useful as the one for Hong Kong, it was still important to know what foods are particular specialties to what area - even if specific restaurants are not listed.
