Hi Everybody,

I’m addicted to Eataly – went back today and had espresso with David Nudo my Marketing Director. It feels like being in Italy – you must check out the pasta section (both fresh and dry) – unusual shapes and lots to choose from! The quality and name brands truly takes me back in Italy!

The espresso makers to gagits remind me of my visits through Milan – state of the art designs. Leave it to the Italians!

Great news! My book, Breaking Bread in L’Aquila will be part of the cook books sold in the Rizzoli section and Rizzoli bookstore in New York! What an honor and a big thank you to Oscar Farinetti and Gerard Nudo/Gary McElroy at Rizzoli!

a presto,

maria
