The lucky strays of Rome dine on the Signora's pasta every night. One night, as his feline companions purr with satisfaction, Pino announces that he wants to taste something different. He skips the Signora's luscious meal and scampers through the streets of Rome, sampling fish from a fancy restaurant and pizza from a sidewalk café. Each time he is shooed away by angry servers and customers. He recognizes a familiar fragrance, an aroma so sweet my tail and whiskers are curling! He returns to his street where the Signora has a bowl of pasta waiting for him. Pedersen's text is bouncy and the humorous dialogue gives depth to the feline protagonist. Whimsical depictions of humans and cats enjoying delicious food set a beautiful stage. The lush mixed-media cartoons depict a soft Roman sunset that naturally darkens to night. Packed with flavor and amore, this delicious story should be shared with bambinos and their parents, along with a batch of fettuccine.
