Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Basic pizzette dough (Pizzette)

    • lean1 on October 13, 2020

      I love this recipe. It was easy to mix (in one bowl) and made A LOT of dough. The dough is softer than the usual pizza dough because of the butter. It made 15 med size pizzas. I could have made more had I rolled the dough more. I will try that next time.

    • lean1 on July 26, 2021

      Made it again today the right way and made thirty(30) little pizzas. I used the recipes on the next few pages with my own home-made sauce and oregano, olives and mozzarella, and low fat cheddar and primosale. Tasted all three. Like being in Italia!

  • Crostini with pickled radicchio and bresaola (Crostini con radicchio sottaceta e bresaola)

    • mjes on August 08, 2021

      I'm a big fan of bresaola so I'm always game to try a recipe that uses it. Pickled radicchio is a perfect foil for bresaola ... will repeat often.

  • Nonna's little meatballs in a roll (Panino con polpettine della nonna)

    • chaffinski on January 08, 2025

      Didn’t do the waiting step or coating steps and still delicious. Addition of salami and the lemon water final cooking steps are genius.

  • Fried meatballs (Polpettine di bar)

    • twoyolks on June 13, 2024

      This were surprisingly bland.

  • Neopolitan taralli (Taralli Napoletani)

    • cbk15 on June 08, 2022

      I really loved these! I used a mix of rendered bacon fat and olive oil as the recipe headnote stated these are traditionally made with a kind of pork fat. This resulted in a super umami flavor and a lovely light and soft but crispy "breadstick" like texture for lack of another way to describe it.

Publishers Text

Eighty-five delicious recipes from Italy’s street food scene. We’re all familiar with Italy’s classic recipes, but few are aware of the traditional dishes that come from a burgeoning street-food scene. Hidden behind the town squares, away from the touristy restaurants, and down back streets are little-known gems offering up some of Italy’s tastiest and best-kept secret dishes that the locals don’t want you to know about. Italians are a social bunch who love to share, therefore it comes as no surprise that food is often prepared and shared on the streets. Italian Street Food is not just another Italian cookbook; it delves into these backstreets to bring you some of Italy’s most exciting food. Learn how to make authentic polpettine, arancini, stuffed cuttlefish, cannolis, and fritters, and perfect your gelato-making skills with authentic Italian flavors such as lemon and basil, affogato and aperol, and orange. With beautiful stories and photography throughout, Italian Street Food brings an old and much-loved cuisine into a whole new light.
