Eataly Chicago - La Pizza & La Pasta

“Delicious pasta! You definitely can't go wrong here. The calamari was good too. The waiter and water guy stayed right on top of things. The restaurant is inside Eataly, so it has a lively vibe to it. Be sure to try the meatballs.”

“Our server Brian was well educated, kind, and knowledgeable about the pastas, the pizzas, the menu, the olive oil, and what alternatives for certain choices without diminishing the taste of the pasta/pizza. Everything tasted so delicious, we tried the taste testing pasta which is 3 different pastas for 38$ per person. The pastas were so creative and very tasty, as well as the truffle pizza. Would definitely come back.”

“I love coming here for lunch. Some of the pasta dishes are better than others. I really enjoyed the tagliatelle bolognese but the spaghetti aglio e olio wasn’t nearly as good. The rustic bread is delicious and they have a fabulous wine selection! Can’t say enough good things about the service, everyone is wonderful!”

“My husband was craving Italian, so we made reservations at Eataly. He ordered the carbonara tasting menu (with cacio e pepe supplì and tartufo), and I went with the seafood carbonara. Unfortunately, both dishes fell short. My husband only had a few bites, and my “seafood” pasta came with just 3–4 tiny shrimp. Everything felt overly rich and not worth finishing. I was also expecting spaghetti, not paccheri (tube pasta)—lesson learned to ask. Service, however, was excellent—very attentive throughout.”

“I was extremely disappointed in this place. The hostesses were stuck up. We were taken to our table and there was a chair missing. The hostess didn't see that the reservation was for 4. When we told her again she scuffed and dragged another one from behind us. We asked the server if we can get the table wiped down again because it looked like it hadn't been cleaned. When the server came back to take her drink orders, he didn't specify that there wasn't any sodas on tap just bottles. So two of us ordered water and one ordered a Coke and a diet Coke. He brings them to us then asks us who got what. At this point we should have just left but we were hungry so we ordered food. Time goes by and it gets later and later The server comes to us letting us know that our food is taking longer than expected to cook. There were only only five tables with people in the whole restaurant! He finally brings us our food and again asks who got what. When it was time to pay the check we ended up getting another table's check. I will definitely not come back to this restaurant. The food was nothing special and not worth the price.”
