"Eataly? No need. You get the same smells and sounds of New York's artisanal wonderland right here. Chefs, butchers, wine stewards and chunk of D.O.P. cheese and salami are on all sides of the diners. They make magic like fettuccine con speck and pistachio, gnocchi with eggplant, rapini-stuffed pork chops and caponata swordfish. So Italian it has its mobile pizza oven on a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape."
