"These two weeks, Eataly is doing a promotion that it costs about $26 for a 2 course meal. So my Italian girlfriend and I decided to try it out, however it was extremely disappointing…?One of the most iconic dish in Italy, Bruschetta, was served with half a toast and some ricotta cheese with a little of honey drizzle… completely different from what bruschetta is.We also order arancini, which is another iconic Italian food. It only came with two fried balls. Inside, it is not stuffed, it was simply just a fried risotto ball with some peas, which has minimal flavor and cheese. It comes with no sauce.Salad was very simple, anyone who knows how to chop can make it, nothing fancy, portion is small.Pizza was a bit better and authentic, not too bad, but it costed EXTRA $8The fettuccine pasta, costed extra $10. They were supposed to cook the pasta hot, place it in a wheel of parmigiano reggiano cheese, let the cheese melt and mix it with the pasta, and then serve on the plate in front of you. Initially the server did it with another customer by mistake, and then she just handed the pasta to us. It was already cold/warm by the time it was handed to us. We talked to the server about how the pasta wasn’t hot and we missed the show, they just use the same plate of pasta, which we had eaton and tried, into the same wheel of cheese and did it in front of us. By the time it was on the plate in front of us, it was cold, not even warm. The flavor was there but it’s a plate of cold pasta.Overall, I paid about $100 for 2 people. A lot of items require you to pay extra. The portion is small. Quality isn’t great. I could have a lot nicer Italian food somewhere else. Eataly gave me a fast food vibe, but just the environment is a bit nicer, pretend to be a fine dining restaurant.As a foodie who loves and knows Italian food, I will NOT come back and I advise people NOT to go there. There are a lot of other nicer Italian restaurants, including Piano Piano, Trattoria Neevosa, Tosto… that serve really good Italian food that worth the money you spent."

"Bulla has been one of our favorite places for years but unfortunately things seem to have changed. I can only imagine that the place is under new management since our experience was so different. We went for dinner on Friday night and immediately notice a couple things. A big sign saying that they no longer accepted cash, just credit cards. The other was that it was much slower than it used to be on a Friday at 7:30, and we now know why. The food was still good outside the the churros we had for desert that tasted like freezer burnt twigs. The problem was everything else. The table‘s first round of drinks took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. The waitress apologized profusely several times and in the end, the drinks were comped. Remember… I said the place wasn’t very busy. My beer was brought to me in a can. Don’t think I ever had a can served to me in a nice restaurant. No glass, just a can. Our 2nd round of drinks took nearly 20 minutes and this time I was served a can, unopened. I don’t even believe that’s legal when you don’t have a package license. I guess I’m now going out to dinner only to open up my own beer. The worse part of the experience was that the restaurant seemed in a hurry to go home. At 9:20 they turned up the lights… you know, like when a bar turns up the lights to tell you they’re closing. Mind you, they close at 10. The check was hurriedly given to us and we felt pressured to pay quickly. We asked if we could order a round of drinks to take up to the rooftop bar and we got them oddly quickly this time. So at 9:30 we paid and took our drinks up to the rooftop…except the rooftop bar was closed… at 9:30 on a Friday night. Why bother having a rooftop bar? We took our drinks outside to a table on the street but before we could enjoy our drinks, employees started putting up the chairs and cushions all around us. We finally gave up and left. Always makes me sad when good restaurants stop caring about the guest experience and then wonder why business tank"
