The Italian Menu Made Easy

Such a fun, a night out for dinner at an Italian restaurant! But... you don't understand anything about the menu! Help! How do you avoid making a blunder and ordering something you don't like at all?

By taking this handy little book (50 pages, 4x6 inches) with you when you eat out!

An alphabetical list of more than 1250 terms for Italian dishes. Enough to understand more than 95% of the average Italian menu.

Understanding the menu in an Italian restaurant often is a complicated affair, even if you know a little Italian. The names of the over thousand pasta types, cheeses, fish varieties are bewildering. If the gestore of the establishment has been so nice to add an English translation it doesn’t always clarify everything. And in many restaurants out of the main tourist centers there still is no translation at hand.

This little booklet is meant to help if you run into problems when eating out in Italy. Hopefully it succeeds in avoiding embarrassing situations or disappointing experiences, destroying your night out.

For the real beginner we first explain the structure of the Italian meal, quite different from the usual American or European one. Then explain some general non-food terms, helpful to navigate through the entire eating out experience.

Finally, the alphabetical list of over 1300 food terms is presented, covering enough items to understand over 90% of the average Italian menu.
