In our preview of Cavatelli Italian Trattoria, we told you that we would put the squeeze on the chefs until they forked over either the recipe for the melt-in-your-mouth spinach gnocchi or their “I’m a Believer” mejillones del chef. These mussels are so delicious that we cornered Interiano just to…
