Le Verdure, Eataly, Again

Had a satisfying lunch at Le Verdure, the vegetable-centric restaurant in Eataly.  One of the daily specials was Ribolleta Soup with a Mixed Mushroom and Robiola Panino.  The soup was a simple vegetable with a tomato base, served in a small bowl.  The panino had the perfect ratio of mushroom to cheese, with neither overwhelming the other.  A glass of the Bastianich Rosato was a suitable accompaniment.

Sit at the counter or at one of the inside tables.  Sitting on the aisle at Le Verdure or at any of the eateries at Eataly is not relaxing with shoppers and browsers walking back and forth.  For lunch, or solo dining at any time of the day, I prefer the counter where you can watch what is going on in the open kitchen.  People watching is part of the fun of Eataly.

The service was excellent, attentive, but not intrusive.  Eataly must hire only people who genuinely want to work there, and who understand that a welcoming demeanor makes everyone's day better.
