"This is one of those delicious, unashamedly feel-good stories that begs to be read in the sun – preferably an Italian sun, as the book makes you long to be there, sipping at a beaker full of the warm south”
The Times

"An enthralling story, full of twists and surprises, passion, sex, and, of course, coffee”
The Boston Globe

"It's a hymn to la dolce vita and the joy of food by someone who knows his stuff and his stuffing, a text that breathes authentic backstreet Rome from every page. I loved it"
The Times
