"Cute little pasta bar inside Eataly. We got the Zucchini spread appetizer which was not all that great. For our entrees, we tried the special—the Hatch Chile Caramelle which was very rich with goat cheese, garlic, honey, and butter sauce. Our server said it was very similar to the richness of lasagna. It was pretty good but can get overwhelming. Good thing the dish was not too big, but if I’m being honest, 7 pieces of caramelle pasta for $21+ was a huge rip off. We also tried the Tagliatella Alla Bolognese and it was probably the worst Bolognese I have ever had. It was super dry and the sauce tasted very bland. The pasta did not taste like fresh pasta and I was very disappointed. The last time I tried the pasta at Eataly, it was in Chicago and their pasta dishes were a lot more fresh and flavorful. Dallas definitely has a lot of catching up to do. Ambiance was very casual and service was great. Our host and server were incredibly sweet and knowledgeable when asked about the menu options. This is a very cute place for dinner and people watching, but the food was not what I thought it would be. I will not be coming back, but I really hope they will add another restaurant or fix this menu because I’ve always loved going to Eataly in New York and Chicago."
