With 90%+ on Urbanspoon and 80+ votes I was hoping I would find a hidden gem and neighbourhood favourite. I like to think they tried, but the menu was way too big and there were a lot of shoutcuts.

Everything is very simple and the menu is limited. It really is an antipasto kind of place just like the name suggest, and I found it more enjoyable as a pre-dinner or after-dinner place. I can’t say I was too impressed, but it wasn’t bad.

Peasant looked, felt and tasted like the real Italian deal. It’s a local favourite and truly a hidden gem. I tried over 50+ restaurants in two weeks in New York, and this was one of my favourites, so I’d definitely say it’s a must try.

I was full at this point, but I couldn’t ignore the amazing desserts. I already saw them walking in, so there was no turning back. Instead, I looked forward to what was ahead! My exercise was exploring desserts at Mario Batali’s Italian marketplace Eataly!

Manzo is the formal restaurant at Eataly (Mario Batali’s Italian marketplace) and the focus is on meats, in particular steaks. The prices, menu, and style are fine dining, but due to the fact that it’s located in a marketplace, it was a bit odd.

It’s the largest artisanal Italian wine and food marketplace from Italy. Part of Mario Batali’s empire, it is a play pen for food and wine enthusiasts offering boutique restaurants as their “food court”. This is Il Pesce, the seafood restaurant in Eataly.
