Jill I believe, and I will be corrected if wrong, that Armandino is Armandino Batali, father of Mario, and owner of Salumi in Seattle, a wonderful Italian market.

will benefit from experience of Armandino Batali's version, at Salumi, as big old bread is better than small crunchy toasted bread in this dish). Ravioli of rabbit confit in sage brown butter, house-made ginger ice cream, and...

What is the deal with the Friday dinners at Salumi? Will be coming in mid-August from NYC. I live near his son Mario Batali and have eaten at virtually all of his restaurants and even know his literary agent. Any suggestions?...

I wanted to comment on Salumi, mentioned by another poster. The restaurant was run by Armandino Batali but he is retired and Gina runs the place now. They are open for lunch starting at 11am. They have a small menu heavy on...
