When Marion Scotto's grandmother, Elena, opened a poultry market in South Brooklyn in 1910, she started a family food dynasty. A born entertainer from a long line of fabulous cooks, Marion opened Fresco by Scotto in 1993 with her son, Anthony Jr., and daughters Rosanna and Elaina. Now, in Italian Comfort Food, the Scottos combine the delicious flavors and warmth of Italy with the neighborly atmosphere of a quintessential New York restaurant, sharing funny stories and dozens of their prized recipes. Cooking with Italian Comfort Foodis the next best thing to sitting down to a warm welcome and a wonderful meal at Fresco, an oasis in the heart of Manhattan that Zagat calls "festive" and "fantastic." Mouthwatering recipes include:

The famously addictive Potato and Zucchini Chips with Gorgonzola
Marinated Seafood Salad
Meatball Lasagna
Risotto with Roasted Winter Vegetables
Grandma's Stuffed Chicken
Chocolate Mascarpone Cream Pie
