    My wife and I have been wanting to try Eataly for a while and luckily the opportunity arose last night for Valentine’s Day. We searched on OpenTable for any restaurants with availability last minute and Eataly SoHo had an availability nearby. I wish I was hungrier because I really wanted to try the Valentine’s Day pre fixe menu, but we just ordered two entrees and bread with some Italian sodas. The food was great and we can’t wait to visit again for some of the various events and to try the rest of the menu!

    My boyfriend and I had reservations here for Valentines day.. and we were so impressed. We came a bit early with the assumption that it would be packed and we may have to wait a bit even with the reservation, i was wrong! It was busy but they seated us early, as soon as we got there. The service was immaculate and the food came out probably 15 minutes after ordering. It was phenomenal and perfect portions. Our reservation was at 6 and we were walking out by 6:40. We were in and out which was nice, so we could go do other activities. We will certainly be back soon!!
