gonna have to try this:
For those of you wanting to try an egg yolk ravioli, they're very easy. Marcella Hazan recommends a cup of flour and two eggs to make a pasta dough, mixed and kneaded till it's satiny, about ten minutes. While it's resting in plastic wrap in the fridge, mix into a cup of ricotta, citrus zest (any kind you like, lemon and orange are great, maybe a little juice), black pepper, espelette if you have it, some chives or minced shallot if you have it, kosher salt (and taste it for to make sure it's delicious). Make a pillow on the pasta for the yolk, put a little cheese on top to protect the yolk, and fold the pasta over it, using water or egg wash to seal the pasta. Boil gently for a few minutes and serve with a brown butter and some julienned parsley. The yellow ooze is worth the effort.

an OLIVE GARDEN smokes THE ODEON in the calamari department IMHO
Ok well I only tried them each once in 08 but my first ever experience at the OG was not NG, the pasta was simple and good, the minestrone fine, and the calamari TENDER......while a recent trip to TO the (overfried and rubbery) calamari was a total send back (we didnt) but the Pistou at TO rocked that day......
(updated) this has to be one of the most exciting menu values in NYC in years!!!
