Want to eat like Tony Soprano?
Foodies and fans of the television show will soon be able to taste 'Sopranos'-style treats at home.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Tony Soprano didn't get to be a mob boss by dieting. The man knows how to eat.

CNN/Money learned Monday that fans and foodies will soon be able to taste "Sopranos"-style treats at home.

HBO, the producer of the hit cable television show "The Sopranos," has entered into licensing agreements for a gourmet food line named after Artie Bucco, the chef-owner of the Nuovo Vesuvio.

The first batch of products -- marinara sauce, creamy Caesar salad dressing and dry ziti pasta -- will be available only from HBO's Web site as a gift set next month, but they will later become available in specialty stores and grocery chains, according to the New York Times.

The newspaper also said the food will be joined by other products, bearing the logos of both "The Sopranos" and HBO, next year. There will also be a line of Artie Bucco's frozen pizzas.

"The Sopranos," an often-graphic tale of a mob boss who struggles to juggle the contradictions between his "family" duties with his suburban family responsibilities, has been a huge success for HBO. The series racked up 22 Emmy nominations last year, but failed to score any this year because no new episodes aired between June 1, 2001 and May 31, 2002.

HBO and CNN/Money are both subsidiaries of AOL Time Warner (AOL: Research, Estimates).  Top of page
