Reviews by readers

Great Recommendations!

We tried a number of recommended places and all were great. The recommended dishes were also great. A must have if you love to eat!

a friend in Venice

Finding a good restaurant that is also a good value is
perhaps more difficult in Venice than any other major Italian
city. Over the years we have come to grief with Michelin and
with Gambero Rosso more often in Venezia than anywhere else
in Italy. It is thus with real delight that we can report a
gastronomically flawless stay in La Serenissima, thanks to
Maureen Fant's recent guide, which combines a wealth of practical
dining advice with engaging gossip about one's hosts. If you
feel you need a friend in Venice to dine there with confidence- look no further!

"I haven't eaten here but..."

"...I've looked through the window" was the first sentence I read when looking though the Florence section. I'm sorry, but looking through the window doesn't exactly qualify one to write a review of their food. I've looked through the windows of loads of restaurants I haven't eaten in - can I publish a book too? All in all this book was a disappointment, at least for the Florence section. I see from other reviews that she is more familiar with Rome, so perhaps this book would be worth buying for that instead. I recommend Sandra Gustafson's "Cheap Eats in Italy" instead. The title is misleading (although you can eat cheaply if you follow her advice on what to order) and is full of wonderful recommendations from simple tripe stalls to fancy restaurants.
