Eataling Mario's latest...

Mario Batalli really did it this time.
When I first walked into his latest venture I almost passed out.  Eataly is basically a food wonderland where you will find 3 different restaurants (fish, pizza/pasta and meat) and a meat and cheese hall where you can grab a table and stand around enjoying fresh cured meats, homemade mozzarella cheese and a plethora of other cheeses...not to mention an extensive wine list which you can also spend time tasting...and even walk around the market with if you so choose.  The enormous and beautifully designed space also includes a cafe, dessert bar and several stations to shop at for fresh fare such as meats, veggies and fruit, rotisserie chicken, fresh pastas, sauces and breads...the list goes on.
I truly didn't know where to begin here...so LM and I hit up the pizza restaurant.  No complaints from LM as he sucked back pizza, fresh bread and some icy water.  We picked up some chicken and potatoes for dinner and couldn't have been happier with our first (of many...oh too many) experiences at Eataly.  It's not to be missed...
