"Filled with 100 interviews with people who live, work, and adventure all over Italy, this book will give you: Directions to that pizza place that's always packed with locals and rarely sees a tourist; Lists of must-try dishes for each town and region; Names of those off-the-beaten-track towns with the best wineries in the region; Tips on how to spot authentic gelato, make friends with the locals, and avoid rip-offs and pick-pockets; Brutal honesty about how you should never ever order a cappuccino after lunch or wear flip-flops to a monument...It's time to experience authentic, local Italy--through the eyes of those who have lived there for years."--Back cover.
