Our waiter was wonderful and personable and forthcoming, he was quick with Service for both drinks and bringing the meal and attentive, but not over-bearing. He was great at making food recommendations. We had a great time and highly recommend the restaurant !. The flourless chocolate cake was to die for.

This was a last minute reservation for a large party on a work trip. I had always wanted to go to an Eataly, so this worked out great that we could have dinner and explore the store. The food was pretty good, and best of all we could hear our conversation.
