Eataly 200 5th Ave New York, NY 10010 Yelp Eataly is everything Italian food. It’s part restaurant, food court, food hall, market, and specialty store rolled into one giant sprawling behemoth. NYC is blessed to have not one, but two, locations throughout the city. I could have easily spent hours here just looking around and…

Instead, I’ve tried making my own ricotta gnocchi, also known as gnudi, which apparently means “naked.” I guess these are supposed to…
