One for the Road: Osterie & Locande D'Italia

by Kelly Amabile on Jul 17th 2007 at 10:46AM

Travelers who love Italy (are there any who don't?) and those interested in the Slow Food movement will want to get their hands on a copy of Osterie & Locande D'Italia, which combines two older Slow Food guides into one. Published by Slow Food Editore and distributed in the US by Chelsea Green, this guide contains listings for 2,100 traditional places to eat and stay in Italy.

Recommended by the Slow Food organization, these traditional taverns, inns, trattorias, wine shops and hotels are guaranteed to give you a taste of Italy's regional diversity -- the cheese, the seafood, the fresh produce, the wine!! The book is organized by region --from Piedmont (where the Slow food movement was born in 1986) to Sicily, and everywhere in between. It also contains a handy glossary of Italian culinary terms and a place index in the back. Published for the first time in English, this comprehensive guide will be a useful tool for food lovers planning their next Italian gastronomic adventure. Mangia!
