Blue Guides Italy Food Companion: Phrasebook & Miscellany
The Italy Food Companion shows you how to enjoy the best of Italian food, understand a menu and know how to order in a restaurant or street market. It complements the Blue Guides' classic guide-book range as preparation for and accompaniment to any visit to Italy. Comprehensive coverage from pizza and pasta to rare regional delicacies, fine wines, plus separate entries on seasonal food, Mediterranean fish, wines and aperitifs, and more. It's also an extensive phrasebook--divided into 'what it means' (Italian into English; including a glossary) and 'how to ask for' (English into Italian). This good-looking guide, with stylish black and white line drawings and photographs, would also work well as a gift item.

Blue Guides Blue Guide Concise Italy
Blue Guides: Complete Cultural Guides -- In this concise guide the Blue Guides' Italy authors and editorial team provide a distillation of the best of Italy in one handy volume: what to see; what it means; who painted, sculpted or built it for whom and why; what to eat and where; where to stay; how to get around. Illustrations to inform rather than to decorate: maps, diagrams, floor plans, architectural details and photographs -- "Often plagiarised by other guide writers, Blue Guides have always been a gold standard for accuracy and depth" Daily Telegraph. "Guide books in the grand tradition of thoroughness and objectivity" Georgia Review.
