The restaurant cookbook of Angeli Caffe in Los Angeles conveys the passion and simplicity of its Italian trattoria cuisine with recipes for the important triad of pizza, pasta, and panini as well as complimentary elements of calzone, sfincione, panzerotti, focaccia, cicchetti, bruschetta, and tramezzini. One basic recipe for pizza dough suffices for use in the pizza recipes and emphasizes this simplicity. Recipes are introduced with a short description providing background, significance, and/or tidbits of culinary knowledge. Nothing short of a visit to the restaurant should satisfy you after reading this cookbook!

As a restauranteur for over 10 years I have read and cooked with hundreds of books. Ms. Kleinman's recipes are simple and delicious. My favorites include the Pizza Salsicce, Pasta Muro Leccese as well as the Polenta and all the basics. Her uncooked Tomato Sauce has become a staple in my home. This is a great book for the Home Chef.

I'm not technically skilled in the kitchen, but I love to eat good food. I started making the pizzas and progressed on to the pastas, etc. When my family comes to town, the first thing they want to eat is something made from a recipe in this book. The food has brought us many great meals and memories. Give this to someone as a gift of joy!

I love Italian cooking and this cookbook is among the best of the best that I own. Right now, i am making the pasta dish that sits for hours with chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil and s & p. Then I will add chopped fresh mozzarella with the hot pasta...oh my!!!
