    I loved David Rocco's first cookbook Dolce Vita so I had to buy this one too. There are a lot of great, easy recipes in here and the photography is more gorgeous than ever. Some favourites for me are the pizza recipes including an easy thin crust dough, the Zabaglione Con Frutti di Bosco desert which is fresh berries topped with a delicious warm espresso sauce and the hand made pasta. Some of the measurements are less clear than in his previous book, which I found a minor hassle but aside from that I love this cookbook!
