Italian Food Decoder for Positive User Reviews
✓ Excellent Italian Food ResourceThe App is extremely well-organized. The “search” function is great for both food shopping and in restaurants..Version: 3.14
✓ Such a great App!!I can't recommend this app more highly. It's been a fantastic tool for us both before and during our family trip to Sardinia. Its extremely clear and very easy to navigate your way around. It's excellent at providing knowledge and help for all those menu-dilemma moments! Something to 'pack' before leaving to go on any Italian break!.Version: 1.0
✓ If you are going to Italy you need thisVery useful and just what you need to figure out the menus in Italy. The app has an extensive list of terms. Filter by types of dishes or by region of the country. Now I won't feel so helpless in front of an Italian menu. Thanks for providing this. Highly recommended..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Now I know what affogato is!I love Italian food. I love Italy. I even love Italians. But every time I visit I end up ordering the same, small selection of things I know how to pronounce. Spa-ghe-tee. This menu decoder opened up a whole new world of Italian cuisine! It's got easy to use navigation to food types, regions and specific dishes. The history of phrases and foods is great - guess where "puttanesca" comes from. Overall, very well-written, helpful and fun..Version: 2.0
✓ La Dolce EaterThis is an excellent guide for someone wishing to become buongustaio. Easy to navigate and extremely informative ..Version: 1.0
✓ Informative in a hurry; fascinating to browse at leisureYou need it when the menu comes but you’ll treasure it at home with a glass or two..Version: 3.15
✓ Italian Menu Decoder 'Mangia'We spent a year living in Italy in 2009 and have been back twice since in different regions. What a splendid app this is! We looked up many of our favorite unusual food names eg ‘puntarelle’ and always it has the answer with excellent explanations in words but also with beautiful photos which look great on iPads. Also very handy on iPhone when exploring menus in Italy. We would strongly advise anyone travelling in Italy to buy this app, but also just to wander through it and dream..Version: 2.0
✓ Insanely comprehensiveThese guys wrote the Cadogan regional guides to Italy (still the best I've found) and every September we travel with them and the latest edition of the Slow Food Osteria guide. Over the years our Italian has improved, but I can't count the times we've been completely stumped by dialect names on menus and in the shops that are NEVER NEVER in our Italian-English dictionaries. But they're on this app! Great pics, and masses of information and anecdotes, even a guide to the cuts of meat in Italian (always one of the big mysteries). Other good news is the fat heavy old Osteria guide is now an app, too. If you like touring and eating off the beaten track in Italy, get both; you won't regret it!.Version: 1.0
✓ Indispensable app when dining in ItalyThe words used to describe different Italian dishes vary by region, and can baffle even people who speak the language fairly fluently. This app will help you decipher the most confusing Italian menus. With helpful pictures and a good search function, it provides context for what’s on offer, which will help you avoid unwelcome surprises ..Version: 4.1
✓ Great appLove that I can search any word on a menu & have it translated for me!!!.Version: 4.1
✓ FascinatingThe fullest and most interesting app of its kind that I have ever found..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Simply the best!My wife and I rely on this app. It is a lifesaver and has led to so many extraordinary meals from rumb to Venice..Version: 4.1
✓ Second edition even better!The new version is much improved by a better Home screen that makes it easier to navigate. Everything you could possibly want to know about Italian cuisine is still here, with the inimitable style that made the Cadogan travel guides so much fun. Beautiful pictures add the finishing touch to an app that will make you crave a trip!.Version: 3.4
✓ Mangia is right!I can't believe how much useful info is jammed into this app. Both practical and enlightening. LOVE it..Version: 1.0
✓ Keep the menu APPs coming!We recently bought this APP in preparation for our next trip to Italy. I only wish we had had it during our last trip, where we visited many small villages and often had no idea of what we were ordering - as the locals only spoke Italian and our knowledge of the language, as well as our Italian/English dictionary, were of little use. We have been enjoying the APP's lively and informative text, beautiful pictures and all of the extras (such as the 5 minute grammar lesson!) - while dreaming about all of the delicacies that await us. This book is a treasure for anyone who loves Italian food. And being the foodies that we are - we hope that the authors write a food APP for France and Spain soon!.Version: 2.0
✓ Absolutely essential for visiting ItalyA real life saver in Italy, essential if you go off the beaten track and want to eat where the Italians eat!.Version: 3.4
✓ Mangia!This is a great app for aspirant foodies and those who live in Italy, and just downright interesting or the rest of us. I'd like to see something similar for many other countries e.g. France, Greece, Japan etc... I notice that most comments seem to come from people in Italy, who are presumably already familiar with Italian food, and will certainly contribute to more detailed and accurate details. But I wonder if something for the less sophisticated might be useful e.g. why menus are separated into primi and secundi piatti - maybe they no longer are, but if so some overview of Italian eating style would be useful e.g. traditionally huge steaks served without any potatoes or other veg because it's assumed you'll have had pasta as a first course. The navigation is easy, though I'm confused by 'distance' - why do I want to search by that? I also took a minute or two to get used to the 'name' search to find key items, such as 'cheese words' - useful high level detail, I thought, but what about the names of cheeses? But then I found the 'category' search, and there they all are. Of course the initial 'cheese words' search does give you a clue ('reading the labels') but it made far more sense after I found the category search. Like all apps, you need to play around a bit to figure it out. Altogether a super useful app,which I wish I'd had last year in Laos for Laotian food!.Version: 1.0
✓ Delicious DecoderThis App is mouthwatering. Just reading all about Italy,learning Simple phrases and Food words is enough to make you yearn fro a trip to Italy to sample their wonderful food. The App is easy to navigate, sprinkled with enticing photographs and has a user friendly feel about it. I give it 5 stars. Kiki In Singapore..Version: 1.0
✓ The perfect accompaniment!The Italian menu decoder is one of those apps you wonder how you ever lived without! Whether in your local Italian restaurant, or touring the more remote regions of Italy, this easy to use and beautifully written app is the perfect accompaniment!.Version: 2.0
✓ Italian Food Decoder is a mustIf one is going to visit Italy, and plans to eat ANYTHING during that time, be sure to get this app. My visit is for three months, and this guide has been invaluable. If you like to cook, as I do, this is an absolute necessity. Whether you are buying food or going to restaurants, this is essential beyond helpful. Do yourself a big favor and download it..Version: 3.12
✓ ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!This app is absolutely fantastic! I'm an Italian Instructor and although I'm quite fluent, there are times I look at an Italian menu, particularly in a regional part of Italy, and I am completely mystified. Regional diversity is a hallmark of Italian cuisine and unless you're at a tourist restaurant with everything written in four languages, (yuck! something that I avoid like the plague...) you may find the menus to be filled with local, regional and dialectical vocabulary and terminology. Absolutely unfathomable! This app addresses those issues beautifully. This is a very rich app, worth every bit of the $5. It goes from the basic to the very detailed. If you are just looking for "Survival Italian Restaurant Skills," this is for you, but for my purposes, it also addresses culinary regional diversity and takes the confusion out of ordering in restaurants, no matter what region of Italy you're in. The app is enhanced by thousands of photos that give life to those wonderful, obscure local food items and dishes. Pure joy! I miei complimenti a Dana e Michael!

✓ NOMNOMNOMI’m getting hungry and feeling such a longing for travel from looking through the seafood section!!.Version: 4.1
✓ Not Just for Travel - a "Foodie" Must-Have!"I love this app! I only used it a few times while traveling. Not only was it useful, but provided odd bits of history - leading me and my husband down the rabbit hole of Italian gastronomy. Since then I've used it several times with foodie friends just for the fun of it. Great app!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ The Best Italian FoodAbsolutely the best Italian food app I have found it covers everything , history, culture , regions , anything else you need to know about Italian food. Great app!.Version: 4.0
✓ Confused at the Coop grocery store, try Mangia to helpI am living in Florence for two months. I am not fluent in Italian and this app has been a great help, I bring it with me on my iPad when I go grocery shopping at the local Coop grocery store which is huge with an endless variety of food some of which I have never seen. Now if only they would make an app to decipher menus!.Version: 3.12
✓ 5 stars are not enough!This app is monumental. We travel to Italy all the time, and I can't count how many times it would have come in handy on previous trips - but so glad we have it now. Can't wait to take it to Sicily next month. Mille grazie, Dana and Michael!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ This app has it all!Easy to use and fun! Excellent organization; smooth navigation. Lots of ways to search--very cool structure. Provides way more than translation of menu terms: historical tidbits, background information and explanations that make ingredients/dishes come alive! Perfect decoder at the market, too--a huge bonus! The authors obviously love Italy and Italian food. Brilliant app! Far more than anticipated!.Version: 2.0
✓ RecommendI appreciate this app. A lot effort went into it and it’s not only a good language tool, but also a compact culinary reference! I should add that the support team is amazing and quick response to questions! Thank you!.Version: 4.1
