Il Patio di Eataly

Daytime dining centers on a prix fixe two-course lunch of pasta and salads, shifting later into happy hour drinks and bites. Plates range from fresh pasta and focaccia to seasonal salads and Italian wine, though because dishes are fetched from stations inside the market, orders can arrive in staggered waves when service gets stretched. When the rhythm holds, the outdoor seating makes for a lively Flatiron stop for casual groups and unhurried midday meals.
