Summary: Good enough for a beginner
Comment: This book is good enough when one takes it for what it is,that is a selection of dishes served in trattorias around Italy aiming at the casual reader or even the tourist that wants to know what will find there, or recreate some of the dishes he enjoyed while he was there.It will also appeal to the person that doesn't mind dishing out cash for that odd recipe that he might have never seen before.It is definetely not for the serious or experienced cook that wants to jump deep into Italian cuisine, but that is not why the book was written.
On the contents themselves,the book is divided into appetisers, first courses, main courses, side dishes and desserts.The recipies are good and the author does not take irritating shortcuts, ie no canned sauces ,and the pasta is handmade.
Beautiful photographs throughout and simple instructions make this a very pleasant read.Four stars though for the afore mentioned and because for a book called trattoria not enough information is given about trattorias and their functions(some other books make you think you are there).

Summary: The Author Knows Her Stuff
Comment: An excellent choice for a gift book for those who love authentic Italian Cooking, or even better for yourself. You would have to do months and months of research to gain the knowledge contained in this book. The pictures will make your mouth water, and the instructions will easliy guide you as you learn the secrets of the Tratorria. I highly recommend it. Purchase and enjoy this book, and maybe, if you're lucky, Mary Beth will send you her secret recipe for Lasagna.
