Bookroo's summary
In the heart of Rome, Pino the cat is on a quest for the perfect dish. While other cats adore the Signora's pasta, Pino's taste buds crave something more. From fresh fish to fancy stews, nothing satisfies his gourmet desires. What will it take to make Pino purr with delight? Join him on a culinary adventure through Rome's vibrant eateries, where each meal brings him closer to discovering what truly satisfies his hunger. Will Pino find the flavor he's been searching for, or is the perfect meal closer than he thinks?
From the publisher
Mamma mia! All the cats love the Signora’s pasta…fresh and sweet, spiced to perfection, and served with affection. Only Pino turns up his nose and searches for something different, something that will make him purr like the best-fed cat in all of Rome. But whatever this finicky gourmet tastes, from fresh fish at the local cafe? Shoo, cat! Shoo! a certain something is missing. What’s a lonely, hungry cat to do?
