It beckons you across the wet stone of Venice's Rialto bridge into a candlelit fifteenth-century cantina.

It proffers nearly two hundred recipes from the heart and soul of Italy's North, including: - Risotto allo Zafferano Milanese - Arista! Arista! - - Pasta delle Sfogliatrici - Pesce in Saor - - La Salsiccia alla Moda di Lucrezia Borgia - Fegato alla Veneziana - - Carbonada d'Enfer Arvier - Pesto di Mandorle e Noci Ferraresi - - Pollo alla Marengo - Cialzons della Famiglia de Galateo - - Pagnotta di Patate - Pasta e Fagioli - - Sogliole in Gratella - Caffe alla Valdostana - Tiramisu - This remarkable world within a book reflects the honest, authentic tastes of a people for whom food is a cardinal passion. With it in hand, you will perfume your home with the ancient and divine scents of glorious food, calling forth the ineffable essence of this land and its bounty. Let the adventure begin.
