I did not know what to expect from this cookbook.
As a recent rabid fan of The Sopranos (in DVD courtesy Netflix) and being of a culture which like the Italians also worships food, fellowship, and Sunday dinner (Southern/Hispanic) a cook book would have to be exceptional to top my idea of 'eating," best described as Paula Deen does Tex Mex/Creole.
The Sopranos Family Cookbook is 'all that' and more.
Several of the recipes are now family staples, the Penne a la Vodka, the basic marinara and the Caesar salad.
The commentary by characters in the show is well-presented and will give you a good chuckle if you are a fan.
Excellent photography.
If you have ever heard the old adage, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, 'Carmela' and 'Adriana,' they understand.
Delightful for fans of the show and/or a great primer for Italian cuisine made simple -- and fun.

Everything is this book is so good, you want to make it all in one day. It brings back the old days when my grandmother was alive and the family got together for holiday dinners.

The product was stated as to be in almost perfect condition but when we received it, it really was not. There was writing on the inside of the cover, scratches, and i actually had to wipe it off because of something sticky on it. Not very impressed.

I HAVE BEEN TO ITALY, AND HAVE HAD HOMEMADE ITALIAN FOOD FROM SCATCH. THIS IS MORE FOR ENTERTAINMENT THAN COOKING.

Well, this is just an echo of all the positive reviews here, but this is really one of the best cookbooks on my shelf -- and I have a lot! Every recipe I've tried has been very authentic and great, except perhaps the recipe for cannolis called for a little too much cinnamon for my son's taste. The recipe for Rollatini di Pesce Spada was one of the best fish dishes I've ever made!
Even if you don't watch the Sopranos, if you like good old-fashioned Italian food, get this book!
