Italian Menu Reading Dictionary

By Gabriel F. Gargiulo

A dictionary of dishes and restaurant words that you are likely to find on a menu in an Italian restaurant in Italy.
The words are listed in alphabetical order, making them easy to find. The English translation is given.
The book also describes the meals of the day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and Aperitivo.
The dishes of a meal, starters/appetizers, main course, sides, are always taken in a specific order in Italy. The book details that order.
As an added bonus I've added sections on
- how to tell the waitstaff that you have a food allergy.
- how to order coffee
- the names of popular Italian cheeses
- drinks that are popular at Aperitivo
- the names of popular Italian wines
- popular after-dinner drinks (digestivi)
- popular pizza toppings
- what the names of types of pasta mean
- a dialogue with the wait staff at a restaurant
