Escape to Italy through a Heartwarming, Mouthwatering Novel: The Italian Series Continues...

Andrew Cotto’s latest novel, Cucina Romana: Another Italian Adventure, 3/25, transports readers to Il Bel Paese (the beautiful country) in the second installment in his “Italian Adventure” series. The novel was conceived, written and published entirely during the coronavirus pandemic as a means of escape for the author and his readers.

Cucina Romana continues the story of Jacoby Pines, a fledgling expat in Tuscany who discovers a potential connection to his ancestry while on holiday in Rome. What follows is a food-filled, wine-soaked adventure about one man's quest for family among the splendor of Italy.

"Andrew Cotto taps every reader's desire to leave the drudgery of everyday life behind and travel to Italy where the possibilities for enlightenment are endless. City by city, kitchen by kitchen, and heart by heart Cucina Romana is a story about Jacoby Pines, who got a taste of la dolce vita in bella Italia, decides to stay and settles in the land of his dreams. Beautifully descriptive and romantic, this is one Italian adventure you don't want to miss!"

–Adriana Trigiani, author of Tony's Wife
