What I Ate This Week: A Vintage Watch, Eataly Pasta, Sinclair Wagyu & Italian Gardens in the Making (May 11 – May 17)
A vintage Italian Swatch arrives. Eataly delivers a perfect Cotto e Pomodoro panino. Massimo’s bacon and egg redeems itself. A Wagyu ribeye at The Sinclair steals the week. Plants from Seven Maples, mulch from Maple Row, the debut of The Sicilian Palmer, and the slow build of a Tuscan-style Italian garden in Easton.
