"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."

"Went here after we ditched our 2.5 hour reservation at Hillstone (no restaurant is good enough to wait that long). I enjoyed the fried calamari and their very fresh hot out-of-the-oven dinner rolls (my favorite so far from all restaurant-served breads). Mysister?s boyfriend really enjoyed his Parmesan chicken and my sister regrettably didn?t get to enjoy her lobster ravioli since amiscommunication of sharing dishes led her to order a simple pasta dish instead. I enjoyed my sea bass although I wish theportions were bigger and my mom had her usual seafood pasta. Dessert was a disappointment for me since I was recommended toorder the ice cream. The description seemed fun but it ended up being was vanilla- chocolate ice cream with a cherry centerdipped in a chocolate shell. It was visually pleasing but the ice cream was not that great. Publix had smoother ice cream thanthis. Waitstaff was good and seating was only ok (due to the pandemic, many restaurants have seating on the sidewalk but I don?tenjoy eating next to valet parked cars and their corresponding car fumes. My sister ordered the nonna cake which ended up beingsimilar to a key lime pie. She and her boyfriend enjoyed the tart dessert. Over all it was a pleasant experience. Might comeback to try those lobster raviolis next time. By the way, they take reservations, that is how we were able to get seated withinthe 15 minutes it took to walk there from Hillstone."
