How exciting Rome can be if you’re a cat!
Unsatisfied with the food being served by Signora, picky Pino the cat sets off onto the streets of Rome to find the perfect meal, but quickly realizes that not all restaurant owners are as kind and generous as Signora after being shooed away from the best, and worst, establishments in the city.
The lucky strays of Rome dine on the Signora’s pasta every night. One night, as his feline companions purr with satisfaction, Pino, a grande gatto, announces that he wants to taste something different. He skips the Signora’s luscious meal and scampers through the streets of Rome, sampling fish from a fancy restaurant and pizza from a sidewalk café. Each time he is shooed away by angry servers and customers. After he trips a waiter carrying a platter, he samples the fare before he is sent into the cold, dark streets. Having tasted the finest cuisine, he realizes that nothing was served with affection. He recognizes a familiar fragrance, an aroma so sweet my tail and whiskers are curling!
