As soon as I started reading this book I was hooked. Tucci had a way of describing his childhood which evoked so many memories of my own. The benefits of growing up in an Italian neighborhood were immense and I loved every bit of it.
This book is humorous, engaging and sad in parts. Some of my book friends listened to this on audiobook and I can imagine it was very good hearing some of his stories in his own voice.
There are recipes included in this book and i can say you will be hungry as you read about his foodie experiences as well the recipes.
I have enjoyed movies where Tucci had a starring role, particularly Big Night. I just bought a copy of Big Night after reading this memoir because I wanted to see to again. 5 stars for this book.
