"This is a very nice little CD. The mandolin music set a wonderful tone for our Sicilian family reunion. A toast to Italians everywhere!"
Good Music, But Only 20 Minutes

"Great mandolin playing, but I was shocked at the 20 minute runtime of this album. There are two albums in this set and I feel it would be better if they combined them both into one 40 minute CD. I agree with another reviewer that "Mandolins Of Italy" is a better CD with a runtime of 72 mintues. But at only $5, you may want to get them both and have 1 1/2 hours of music that way."
Fantastico!

"I love it! All familiar music to my Italian family. Great for background music to a quiet dinner or lively gathering. Just a fun CD!"
Typical Italian Mandolin

"If you're looking for an inexpensive CD of typical Italian mandolin music, this is just what you're looking for. However, I gave it three stars because it was too short and too predictable. If you're only buying one Italian mandolin CD, and if money isn't a major consideration, "Mandolins from Italy" is worth the extra bucks."
Very Enjoyable

"There wasn't a track I didn't like! Reminds me of an Italian restaurant complete with red & white checked tablecloths and a basket of breaksticks. The mandolin and the familiar melodies made this a great first purchase. P.S. My Mom loved it!"
