Eataly opens in Rome!

Auguri to Oscar Farinetti

The New York Times has described it as a “megastore” that “combines elements of a bustling European open market, a Whole-Foods-style supermarket, a high-end food court and a New Age learning center.”

New location in Rome opened 6-21. www.roma.eataly.it

I’m in Italy as we speak – hope to report back with photos on the new location.

I met Oscar Farinetti at the store opening in NYC. He loved my cookbook “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila” and was very happy to put my book at the store in NYC. I hope to see him this week!

a presto,

Corriere Canadese Article

It was so nice to have a follow-up interview with Elena Serra, journalist at Corriere Canadese. We first met at my book launch in Toronto and hosted by Villa Charities.

Here’s a link to the Corriere Canadese article featuring Breaking Bread in L’Aquila:
I referred to Oscar Farinetti, founder of Eataly as the food “rock star”!

What’s Cooking at Eataly

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
