Excellent! I was a bit curious about this choice. In the heart of the Flatiron district was the restaurant going to be overpriced and ok...no way. It's vibrant has incredible views and great food. The staff was attentive and the explained the menu and the specials to us. I loved that they asked us if anyone had allergies they should know about! Just a great experience.
I would highly recommend everyone to visit this place! It gives a taste and atmosphere of Italy. The food options, deserts, and even cosmetics remind you of Italy. In addition, they have over 4 restaurants here all of which have a unique take on Italian cuisine.
My favorite Italian grocery store...fresh and authentic food with great presentations. Also good restaurants. Wide selection of Italian ingredients or prepared foods. A good stop for Italian dining on premises or to make at home.
Huge upscale market with fresh fruit and vegs. Pantry items from Italy and on-site baked bread, focaccia, and on-site Italian restaurants. Tried the one in the back with bigger seating area. Their Neapolitan pizza was legit delicious. Their mushroom pasta was good but the white truffle add on was a huge rip off. Some of the items were just too pricey to buy in grocery but things like Italian hard candy, dried salami, pistachio chocolates or biscuits could make good gifts. They really need to make the aisles wider for big crowds in there. Lot of one way room only for aisles. Their bakery items look yummy and so does their gelato place.
Eataly is a one stop shop, filled with everything food related that you can imagine. A lot of of it is slightly higher end but there is a great variety of pastas, desserts, breads, sauces, truffles and more.
PROS: This place was Italian heaven when I entered. Numerous bars, restaurants, food stands, and shops. The atmosphere was exquisite and the quality of the food was great. Prices are all reasonable and the workers are semi nice
CONS: It's very confusing navigating around that place. They should have signs or a map or something that can help guide you
OVERALL: I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area, as long as you have enough time to kill
I finally made it to Eataly, I've heard about this place from several people and was very happy to go here on a whim. It was such a great experience. Reminds me a lot of a place in TX - Central Market which was so wonderful for fresh anything. Plus, they had the premade section so when you're extra lazy...and don't feel like cooking you can grab something. Three of us sat at the pasta counter and ordered four (missing a pic of one) different pastas to try. All were super yummy! I'd go back to try the other counters as they have a fish counter and one other to sit at along with other pastas on the menu.
