I bought this book before I went to study abroad. Not that I completely agree with all of the reviews, most were amazingly on point. I've also visited all the gelato shops and tripe stands in this book. My only complaints would be omissions, but of course, this book can't be current forever.

The information wasn't very useful to me -- just ended up taking up space in my suitacase.
