There's nothing more disappointing than going out to eat in Italy and finding yourself surrounded by Americans! There's a reason this happens-they are all reading the same American guidebooks. The
New York Times Magazine recently featured two Italian guidebooks that will bring you to the best restaurants in town. The menus at these restaurants will not be written in English, but you will certainly have an authentic experience. The two guidebooks highlighted are
Osterie d'Italia, the guidebook published by Slow Food Italy, and
Ristoranti d'Italia del Gambero Rosso. The Slow Food movement advocates for organic food, seasonal produce, and traditional cooking methods. The Gambero Rosso (Red Shrimp) Group is a publishing house in Rome akin to
Gourmet,
Wine Spectator, the
Cooking Channel and
Zagat all in one. You can register on-line to access all of their recommendations or order the
2008 Gambero Rosso guidebook through their website.
