We also have the Marling Menu Master. It's tiny and very easy to use. Hasn't led us astray yet. It was particularly helpful at Giolitti in Rome... they have over 30 flavors of gelato and
half of them we hadn't seen before! =)
Otherwise, it's a pretty safe bet they'll either explain something to you or have an English menu.
Enjoy! - h.

We had a menu dictionary with us in Rome which was virutally useless. Plus you feel like an idiot trying to look everything up when you should be drinking wine. When in doubt, ask your server. If really in doubt, simply ask them to recommend something (we have yet to go wrong with that approach!).
I would think feeding the 4 year old (as distressing as think that sounds) would be the easy part. He/she is not going to know if their eating sweetbreads or steak, are they?

In my experience most little ones love pasta. That is something you can order in any restaurant in Italy. And Italians do tend to fuss over children. So I don't think that will be a problem. Have fun!

Justretired and Underhill - that's the book I have. It is on vacation in Italy right now (without me! boo hoo!) so I couldn't check the exact title. HIghly recommend it. It is small and fits into my purse. It includes beverages also.

cls2paris, the exact title is "Eating & Drinking in Italy", with the sub-title, "Italian Menu Reader and Restaurant Guide, 3rd edition". It's by Andy Herbach and Michael Dillon.
You can order it directly from the publisher: see:

Clicking on "Order Me" takes you to its page on Amazon:

On the Amazon page, you can click on the picture of the cover to enlarge it.
Earlier editions had a line along the top that read, "The what kind of food am I? series". But that can't be considered the title, since that same line appeared on the French and Spanish versions as well, and possibly others. I have a copy of the first edition in my hand right now (well, actually, I put it down, to type, but it's right next to the keyboard).
