Osteria Di Eataly

Flavorful, wonderful dishes, true Italiano tastes! A little pricey for the portions but love everything we experienced including the dessert. Highly recommend the mahi mahi dish, the classic salad and spaghetti with meat marinera. Will definitely go back for the food and atmosphere!

This was our first visit to Eataly. We had a delicious lunch at Osteria. We sat at the counter and watched the chefs prepare our lunch and others! We chose PENNE all’Arrabbiata and BISTECCA di Manzo for our entrees and split them. Both were delicious and although we wanted TIRAMISÚ, we were stuffed! Can’t wait to visit again!

I had lunch here on Saturday with my wife, everything is a la carte, brain damage for pasta dishes which are only ok, she had the pappardelle alla blognese which she liked, with a side of meatballs which were over spiced and gave me indigestion. I had a ribbon spinach pasta with lamb which was very heavy and vIrtually no sauce, good flavor but hard to eat. Had a bad case of indigestion after this. The wait is ridiculous, too many ITALIAN PLACES FOR THIS NONSENSE. tHE STORE WAS JAMMED COULD BARELY MOVE AROUND. MY WIFE ADORED EVERYTHING BUT REALIZED THAT IT WAS JUST SILLY! YOU COULD HARDLY MOVE AROUND AND THE WAITS FOR FOOD, WE WALKED ON THE HAZELNUT CREPES, (REALLY SLOW PROCESS). If you must go go on a weekday when it isn’t insane and then maybe your experience will be better.

Had lunch this week at Osteria Di Eataly. For the salad, I ordered the Insalata ($ 11). The lettuce was bitter and the croutons were the size of a grain of salt. My friend had the Rucola e Grana Padano ($ 9) which was a plate of arugula. For my main course I ordered the Pappardelle alla Bolognese ($ 16). If there was any meat in the «meat ragu» I had a hard time finding it. My friend had the Agnolotti Del Plin ($ 15) which she said was good.
This was a birthday lunch and since Osteria does not have any cakes or pastries on its dessert menu, we ordered the Panna Cotta ($ 8) and decided to split it. Bad move. It came in a glass container that was a fraction bigger than a shot glass — not kidding here. To accompany our dessert I ordered a Capuccino served in an espresso cup ($ 4) and my friend ordered Espresso ($ 4),.
I also ordered a glass of wine ($ 13) during lunch.
Cons: food was average tasting; area was very, very noisey — I get that it is surrounded by grocery aisles but there is hardly any separation between the tables and the people who are shopping; prices are ridiculously high for the quality AND quantity. Still can’t get over that Panna Cotta in a teeny, tiny, ultra-​small glass.
Pros: service was great — attentive but not intrusive.
Yes, the menu was posted at the Maitre D’ station and had I come alone or for another occasion I would have passed by and gone elsewhere, however, my friend, whose birthday it was (and I was treating her), really wanted to eat here.

I brought my parents here when they visited from Florida. We ordered the prosciutto con fett’unta and barbabietola (roasted beets) as appetizers. The prosciutto was some of the best I’ve ever tasted!
Our entrees were
Agnolotti — a meat filled pasta with a very unique pea purée on top, good if you’re not into red sauces
Pappardelle — ribbon pasta with a ragu sauce, this one was my favorite because they pasta had such a good flavor and texture.
Quadrati — a ravioli dish, also very good.
Everything had a very authentic flavor and although we came in very late on a Monday night the waiter got our order in right before the kitchen closed. We grabbed dessert downstairs at the gelato counter.
