Eataly is one of those places that requires a little bit of orientation when you walk in, because it's not really one restaurant, it's a 50,000 square foot Italian food hall with multiple dining counters, a marketplace, a gelato bar, a mozzarella station, a pasta counter, a rooftop beer hall, and about a hundred things to buy on the way out. Once you stop trying to see all of it and just start eating, it clicks.
We landed at La Pizza & La Pasta, which is the sit-down restaurant inside the main floor where Neapolitan-trained pizzaioli work a wood-burning oven in full view of the room. The Margherita Verace is the pizza to start with and it's the real version, San Marzano tomatoes, proper fior di latte, a soft and slightly charred crust that doesn't try to do more than it needs to. The spaghetto al pomodoro is listed on the menu as the dish that represents Italy, which is a confident claim, but it backs it up: just spaghetti with tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and Sicilian sea salt, cooked in a way where the simplicity is entirely the point and entirely the achievement. We also grabbed a portobello panini from one of the market counters to eat standing up, which is honestly one of the more satisfying ways to experience Eataly. The housemade focaccia is worth picking up at the bread counter as you wander. And the gelato at the end is the thing that gets most people, the pistachio in particular is one of those bites that makes you understand why people line up for it.
The rooftop beer hall is open year-round and is a genuinely good spot for a drink and a view before or after eating. The whole place is worth at least two hours of your time if you're the type of person who likes to wander through food.

One of my favorite Eataly’s in the world honestly. You’re in the heart of NYC, next to the Flatiron and gorgeous Madison Square Park. And this place is like a Narnia’s Wardrobe into real Italian culinary culture. I like how neat it is inside and divided into sections for Pastas, Bakery and pizzeria, seafood corner, braceria meats side, pasticceria for dessert, cafè corner etc… and the whole authentic groceries between these inner restaurants for all tastes.
A real oasis that brings back home for many Italians around the globe. 🇮🇹🤍🇺🇸

This time a totally different experience compare to the breakfast on the 6th. Location is amazing, the offer is huge, the team is great! We went for lunch as Rossopomodoro and the Margherita were Great (both way: romana e napoletana), the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio was ok (Cheffff the fresh pasta not a good choice, my personal point of view), the Panna cotta was crazy tasty and so the "tiramisu" (not the classic tiramisu....the Mascarpone was too dense but still good). The team is really focused on make you feel in Italy too. Tks Guys

We walked in without a reservation and, despite there being plenty of available tables, were seated right next to the waiters' station. While one of the waiters was setting up glasses at the station, one of them slipped and fell directly onto my knee before shattering on the floor.
Of course, we exchanged details afterward, but I would have expected some kind of gesture to make up for the unpleasant experience-such as a complimentary dessert or one of the dishes being on the house.
As for the food, the pizza was quite tasty, but the mushroom pasta and the pesto pasta were very disappointing and lacked flavor. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

Went to their roof top restaurant, it’s my favorite! Always fresh ingredients, cocktails are delightful, friendly staff. Then take a tour and do so shopping downstairs to take some fresh ingredients or meals home to David m savor the taste of Italy at home. Next goal is to visit every open style bar and restaurant inside the market, can’t wait
