Meh. Weird space. They're over staffed so a lot of people hanging around bored and over bearing wait staff. Food is super mediocre. Lacks flavor. No finesse. Restaurant was full but room lacked any energy. Not cheap but thats to.be expected.

5 stars.

After an 18-hour day, I stopped into Eataly and saw that they had a prix fixe menu! The two dishes were amazing but I waited about 25 minutes for my pasta. I wasn’t frustrated but a bit concerned that like, maybe the hand rolled gnocchi’s are what’s taking longer than normal. When Kat came around and asked how my dish was, I expressed that I never received it.

What could have been a frustrating night became the opposite because of Katherine, my server. She noticed the delay, checked in at the right moments, and proactively offered a complimentary glass of her favorite wine and a dessert. That simple, thoughtful move—paired with her precision, attentiveness, and genuinely hard-working attitude—turned my bad day into a great one. The wine was outstanding, the dessert was spot-on, and the pasta was worth the wait.

Oh side note as someone how goes to the dog park in Madison garden and goes to eataly a lot more than they should is this.

Reasons to visit Eataly: consistently fresh, well-executed Italian dishes; a deep, well-curated wine list; the energy of the market-style setting; and staff who know the menu and care about hospitality. Katherine exemplifies that standard. Best customer service I’ve experienced at Eataly—detail-oriented, friendly, fast on recovery, and sincerely invested in her guests.

But hey, it’s Italian food right? It’s impossible not to like.

I freely admit this is not a fair rating due to our timing, but it is what it is. We split the Agnolotti del Plin El Sugo D'Arrosto and an order of Focacia Bianca. Both were very good. Our server Ahmed was wonderful and attentive. Seating was comfortable at the bar with a good view of the pasta making table. Which brings us to the rating. No pasta.making while we were there. A bit of clean up as we were sitting down. Prepping for pasta making after we were finished and had walked around a bit. But no action as we enjoyed our meal. That left our entertainment to some sort of dispute between staff playing out in front of us. We could not hear anything, and no idea what the dispute was about, but you could tell there were some issues.

Delicious meal made more so by the outstanding service provided by Catherine. She suggested a wine I had never tried-loved it-even let me taste it before a very full pour. Professional, friendly and kind-kudos to Catherine!!

Lovely environment. Staff are friendly and helpful. I feel like I ordered wrong tho. I had the Fritto Di Gamberi E Zucchine. Crispy fried shrimp, fried zucchini, lemon aioli. I found it to be very bland. Needed seasoning. Couldn’t taste the lemon in the aioli.

What kind of Italian restaurant doesn’t have a simple tomato sauce vegetarian pasta available. FFS we’re in an Italian supermarket… be better.
