NYC sources are snitching that Katie Couric was recently caught getting flirty with a cute Italian over dinner at the Peasant Restaurant.

“She was at the bar with this hot Italian-looking guy. He was in his late 20s, tan skin, wearing a black muscle T-shirt and had longish dark hair,” another diner tells us. She was way more flirty than he was, [but] he was obviously into her in a chilled-out way.”
