This book speaks from the view point of Italy’s many trattorias. These often family-run eateries serve up some of Italy’s best-loved dishes from bowlfuls of zucchini minestrone to the completely satisfying likes of meatballs and spaghetti.

There are also dishes featured in the book from chefs of various trattorias throughout Italy that Ferrigno encountered.
