I met up with a friend for lunch a few days ago at Eataly, Mario Batali's market/restaurant at the Flatiron District. I like going out with her as she loves to eat and knows a lot of restaurants in New York that are affordable but tastes ridiculously rich, luxurious and delicious.
We ordered the ravioli with lemon butter sauce and pistachio and the Napolitano pizza with mozzarella cheese, olives, various herbs and anchovies. Of course, dessert will not be forgotten. We skipped our regular, much-beloved French crepes for Italian hazelnut gelato.
