Eataly NYC Downtown

We were a bit disappointed because we couldn’t get a table when we wanted. So we ended ordering a takeout pizza and diverse plates from the takeout counter and the ready made. We were surprisingly happy with everything we had. We found empty tables by the takeout counter where we had our dinner. The octopus and shrimp were delicious, the grilled Brussel sprouts very savory. The salads and pastas amazing. The service is excellent and everyone is very helpful. The restaurant was very crowded and there weren’t tables available and we didn’t want to wait for we were starving.

My friend recommended this place to me and my husband. So, we decided to come here for a Sunday brunch, and it did not disappoint us. It’s a happy, casual, welcoming place. The pastas we ordered were very good, very satisfying after eating! It’s a large open space, so it’s good for families or groups of friends. It might feel a bit crowded if you want to have a nice date.

This review is for La Pizza e La Pasta restaurant located in Eataly. All the food was amazing especially the meat and cheese board – it really exceeded our expectations. The pizza was excellent too. The only complaint was that they brought out entrees before we were finished with the appetizers, so it was hard to fully enjoy that while trying to avoid eating other food cold. I would empathize to the waiter that you want to finish your appetizers first (which should be common sense anyway) before moving on to the entrees. So other than having to eat the pizza semi-cold, it was a great experience. Gorgeous views.

This particular location is smaller than the one in the Flatiron so if you are choosing between them, now you know.

This Italian market is exceptionally well stocked and has distinct sections for all your culinary needs.

I often swing though early to grab something for lunch and maybe bring something home to cook for dinner. The cheese / deli section and butcher are both wonderful and the staff super helpful and knowledgeable.

The checkout experience is a little strange as it’s not obvious but they have self checkout so it’s quick.

We had Rigatoni Alla Toscana and Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. Both very excellent taste wise! The pasta was a little bit too al dente for our preference but it was still amazing overall. The Arancini were also nice. The atmosphere and the view is very good. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.
