First rate

I originally bought this book because I have always been interested in ethnic neighborhoods. Having lived in Italy for the last ten years I was more skeptical about the recipes. Having said that, while I was reading the book it was clear that Schiavelli knew what he was talking about. Myself and my wife (who is Italian) have been consistently ecstatic about the results of the recipes.

Eased my pain

I read this book with one arm. I had just broken my elbow in late 1998, and this book took me into another, happier world and literally eased my pain. You'll love the stories of a bygone era told with with love.

Thanks, Vincent, for easing my pain with your wonderful book.

Reminds me of my childhood.

I saw this book and needed to read it. After all, I am also Sicilian and born and raised in Brooklyn (though a good many years after Mr. Schiavelli.) His memories brought back a great deal of my own; often ones I had forgotten. I thank him for this. From the street vendors with their horses to the people sharing stories on their stoops to the men's only clubs and the strega exorcising the evil eye - It is all as I remember it, too. If anyone says that this book isn't true to Brooklynites and to Italians, they must not be either.
Enjoy it, it is true treasure!

The Good Old Days

I grew up in this neighborhood during the time he speaks about, and it was exactly as he describes it. The S.A.C.'s, the gangs, the feasts, the recipes, the stores on Knickerbocker Avenue, the way our family members spoke - I still talk Brooklynese! It's a great book. Brings back so many memories.....if you had any connection to this Bushwick neighborhood during the 50's and 60's, you must read this book.

Authentic NYC Italian-Sicilian Cookbook

Reading this book brings back alot of memories of growing up in an Italian family from NYC. We are from Staten Island but wherever us Italians go we bring our unique and loved culture-especially food. And this book not only has Authentic recipes but Authentic stories about growing up in the very tight-knit italian community. This book is a must read/buy for all Italian Americans, especially the youth who are being driven away, daily, by the disgusting MTV generation. Wheather you are an experienced cook or not, Italian or Sicilian just buy this book and smile all the way through, and then at the end wish for more. And then you will, if your lucky enough, start to recall your own Italian-American experience. By the way this is not your typical "MERIGAN" Italian cookbook It is the real deal!
