Love, Vito

By: Vito Coppola

Love, Vito is a warm and heartfelt memoir from Strictly Come Dancing star Vito Coppola, telling his life story through the food that has always sustained him - because, as Vito often says, food is life.

Born in Southern Italy, he grew up in a world where the kitchen was the centre of everything: family, discipline, celebration and love - shaping not only his palate, but his joyful, generous approach to life.

As Vito's journey takes him from his Italian roots to international success - including his rise to fame on Strictly Come Dancing - food remains a constant, connecting him to where he comes from as he builds a life far from home. Interspersed throughout the book are recipes that mark key moments along the way: his Nonna's ragù, dishes cooked between rehearsals, meals shared during the intensity of Strictly, and comforting favourites made after long days of training. Each recipe sits alongside the story it belongs to, bringing Vito's memories, humour and energy vividly to life.

With stories to savour and recipes to cook at home, it's an invitation into Vito's world - and a celebration of good food, hard work, family and finding joy wherever you are.©2026 Vito Coppola (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited
