I had this book for years and then it was stolen. There are recipes in it I absolutely must have so I find myself buying a new one.

Recipes like my mother usd to make!!!!!

These are my home town recipes! Reading this made me feel at home. True Italian flavor. These are real...real..hand-me-down recipes from the old country. Even if your not Italian you can't help but enjoy the tradition presented here. CAIO !

These are the real Italian recipes you've been looking for

Don't pass up an opportunity to own this book! With love and warmth the author shares recipes that are simple and satisfying. I've cooked half of this book and the results have always been terrific...especially the Farfalle Picante.

What more has to be said!!

Ciao Italia is filled with traditional Italian recipes and is not only a wonderful book that is an associate book to the public television show but the host of the show and the author of the book Mary Ann Esposito is one of the most down-to-earth and personable people I have ever met

Wonderful!

This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. The recipes are easy to follow and they turn out just like you'd imagine them to taste. I also love the commentary on Italian ingredients and cooking techniques. This book is the perfect way to try Italian cooking
