The ultimate foodie travel guide

This book is a gem. Lonely Planet has some of the best, behind the scenes, adventurous and independent minded travel guides....."World Food, Italy" never strays from this focus. Better yet, it for the true food loving traveler. It doesn't provide tips on the hottest restaurants to visit in this vast dining paradise, but instead gives insight into Italian culture through food and describes each region by their food, letting you know, region by region, what delicacies just can't be missed. Excellent!

Italian food described

I own the LP world food Hong Kong and it was so useful that I decided to purchase the Italian version. Even though I know quite a bit about Italian food, it was nice to read the background material and have information about customs. Further the book includes a listing of gelato flavors (essential) and a food glossary in the back. Although not quite as useful as the one for Hong Kong, it was still important to know what foods are particular specialties to what area - even if specific restaurants are not listed.
