slowfood.com restaurant listings

[hughw]

Forgive me if this has already been answered. Several years ago I found restaurant reviews of slowfood restaurants in Italy on slowfood.com. They were in Italian but I managed to get enough info out of them using alta vista web translaor. Today I looked at the slowfood..com website, both the US and Italian version, and couldn't find any listings. Did they remove them (perhaps to sell more books) or was I looking in the wrong place? Thanks.

Are you talking about the Slow Food Osteria guide? If you are, I wasn't aware that it was ever on line. They might be too "Slow" to think about putting it online...

You might be able to order one thru your local Slow Food people. If you get stuck, let me know, I'll be in Italy fairly soon, and I can send you one.

Yes. the Osteria Guide was online, also guides to cheese shops, wineries, etc.

I think that you had to register and then login to view and I actually found an old email from 2002 where they sent me confirmation of my user name and password and said I had access to "Our PicK" section. Now, I don't even see a place to login on their site.

I received this link today from Slowfood USA.

The reveiws are only in Italian but you can get a usable (if sometiime unintentionally humerous) translation at http://babelfish.altavista.com/

The slow food guide is now available in English. I just got mine yesterday. I was a little dissapointed that the average price listed is around 30 euro/person without wine that makes over 100 dollars with wine for two.

Nope, wrong. We just got back from Italy and used the Italian version as our lode star; our posts are on the Rome, Venice, Emilia-R, Tuscany + Umbria threads and pinned threads and a quick scan shows we paid 41-60 E for two with a lotta wine and at least one grappa per meal; trust Slow Food! Try to get that quality/price/product ratio in London/NYC/Paris/Tokyo/etc. And hey, it's just Euros.

John, that's great to hear. I was just quoting the prices listed but maybe that is for an extravagant dinner. Fabulous!
