Synopsis
In a twist on Cyrano de Bergerac--set in Rome--a waiter named Tomasso seeks to impress Laura, the American tourist he falls in love with, by telling her he's actually a renowned local chef and treating her to the glories of his culinary creations. Meanwhile, the actual chef, Bruno, also worships the beautiful Laura. Against a backdrop of gorgeous Italian food, the love triangle plays itself out, beginning with a cup of superstrong ristretto in a coffee bar in the Trastavere, and ending with a chapter of ricette, recipes for goodies that range from a classic Tagliatelle con ragù bolognese to a much more exotic Porchetta and a most satisfying tiramisu.

Publisher's Note
Enchanted by Italy's rich culture, first-time American visitor Laura finds herself falling for the handsome Tomasso, who woos her with magnificent meals and hides the fact that shy, enamored Bruno is actually the chef. A first novel.
Industry reviews
"A nice romp through the back alleys of the Eternal City, all in a lighthearted tone more farce than tragedy." Kirkus (05/15/2004) "Anyone who has spent a Sunday afternoon roaring through Manhattan with a handsome Italian in a gorgeous Maserati, searching for the perfect bresaola--or anyone who would like to--will look indulgently on Capella's well-fashioned fable...." New York Times Book Review - Liesl Schillinger (07/25/2004)
