Eataly - Flatiron

The Eatly restaurant has a great location in the Flatiron District, but my experience on Valentine’s Day was disappointing. The restaurant was extremely crowded, and the menu selection felt limited. I ordered the fried polenta, which unfortunately was too hard. I also tried the trio of pasta samples—one dish included ham, and I actually enjoyed the ham more than the pasta itself, which says a lot. Overall, this visit was a thumbs down for me. That said, I’m open to giving it another try on a less busy day and hope for a better experience next time.

Eataly is such a great concept — an impressive selection of high-quality and hard-to-find Italian products, beautifully displayed in a space that feels lively but well organized. It’s more than a grocery store; the layout blends retail and restaurants seamlessly, making it easy to shop, grab a coffee, or sit down for a proper meal. A great spot whether you’re stocking up on specialty ingredients or just spending an afternoon wandering.

This place is much more than a grocery store — it’s an experience. The variety is incredible and everything is well stocked. It feels like a lively, interesting space where you can shop, relax, and even have great conversations. The bar and coffee area are combined, which makes it even more special. You can order cocktails right at the coffee counter, and the coffee itself is excellent. I come here often to try different foods. If you’re a serious meat lover, this is the place. Their meat dishes are outstanding, especially the chicken and the soups — rich, flavorful, and satisfying. They also have a wide selection of pizza and Italian snacks. You can find almost any classic Italian comfort food here. If you’re looking for a casual spot to grab food with friends, this is definitely a great choice.

I wanted to love this place. It looks like a farmers market w/ a lot to buy, but it seems tourist trap’y… I say this, as the food at the restaurant was bland and over priced, with all the locations we tried, were all packed with tourists. The staff were all nice but clearly extremely overwhelmed. Also the restrooms smelled horrible of urine and were clearly too small for the amount of ppl in the building.

A local friend recommended that I had to walk through the market before I leave and she was spot on. I could have spent all afternoon here eating and sampling and watching the cutting, chopping and folding of all the delicious food. Since I fly I only got the tomato pie but man was it good even a couple hours later at LGA. I did purchase a bag of dry garlic and chili bowtie pasta for home since you can carry on dry goods. Can't wait to find a complimentary recipe to make them.

Had dinner here at the pop up Amalfi rooftop experience. I lived in Italy for three years and this place took me back. I forgot for awhile I was in the United States. The Ravioli was just to die for. I went back for brunch. Not as exciting as the dinner but still 4 star brunch. Be forewarned you are in NY and paying for an experience so it is a little pricey but I would come back. The dinner though was met with an amazing server named Dino. This guy was on top of it and had an amazing personality.

We stopped by Eataly Flatiron and picked up a tiramisu. It was really nice — creamy, smooth, and with a good coffee flavor. It is a little on the sweet side, but still very enjoyable. Eataly itself has a ton of stuff inside, so it’s fun just wandering around. Pasta, bread, pastries, cheese — there’s so much to look at that you kind of lose track of time. If you’re already exploring the place and want a simple, tasty dessert, the tiramisu is a good pick.

One of my favorites place to get groceries, meat, or fish. Their unique options and sales are always what keep me coming back. When I am not cooking, I enjoy a few of their on-site dining locations as well. Weekends get very packed, so hopefully early in the morning! Make sure to visit their wine store, right next door on 23rd; some great options. Photo: Double R Ranch Porterhouses

It's awesome. Enjoyed walking around and shopping after we ate. Plenty of options to choose from in terms of dishes.

If you love food even a little, Eataly in the Flatiron Building is an absolute must-visit. Step inside and you're instantly transported to a bustling Italian marketplace packed with energy, incredible aromas, and more delicious options than you can fit into one visit. Whether you're dropping in for a quick espresso, sitting down for a luxurious meal, taking a cooking class, or shopping for specialty Italian groceries, Eataly truly delivers. The quality is consistently excellent, from fresh handmade pasta and beautifully curated cheeses to pastries, sauces, and pantry staples you won't find anywhere else. I could live in their food hall! The food hall is great for a grab-and-go moment, while the cafés feel like a treat without being overly formal. There's always something new to discover, and even a casual stop can easily turn into a full-on culinary adventure. Bottom line: If you're in NYC and love good food, Eataly Flatiron deserves a spot at the very top of your list. Go hungry and enjoy.

We had a 2:00 reservation at La Pizza & La Pasta. We waited until 2:30 to be seated. Yes, it was a busy Saturday, however if I were more than 15 minutes late they would have taken my reservation. They should adhere to their own rules. We've been here at least four other times and have always had a great experience so we were excited to bring friends for their first time. Underwhelmed is an understatement. The pizza was soggy, when the food was dropped we never had anyone come and ask if we needed anything or if everything was up to par. We sat with empty wine glasses for our entire meal. Waiting to get someone's attention. A busser took away a plate from under our friend's chewing mouth as he was still trying to finish his food. He had to ask for it back. Very disappointed and we will not return. There are too many wonderful restaurants. They can do better.

Eataly offers a little bit of everything. From groceries, to fresh meals, bakeries, coffee spots, restaurants, bars, and plenty of space to sit and enjoy time with yourself or with others. It was a "one-stop" spot for almost anything Italian food-related, with lots of Italian products for purchasing (appeared to be imported from Italy), it was kept clean, the staff were very nice, and the energy in there overall was great. My husband and I grabbed a cappuccino and a pistachio loaf pastry at the front café near the entrance, and both were 5 stars (delicious). Then we walked toward the back where the restaurants and bars are and tried the gnocchi with meat sauce, which was delicious and very fresh. (Apologies that I missed to taking photos of the menus at each place.) If you're in the Flatiron area, definitely stop by Eataly. There's truly was something for everyone.

There is plenty to see and eat at Eataly! From multiple restaurants on site, to fresh produce, fish and meat there is something for everyone. During this visit, I stopped at their coffee/pastry bar for an espresso martini. For $18, it had fresh espresso and was small but good! The seating area was very crowded as it is on most days with tourists.

Had to make the pilgrimage to Eataly NYC while visiting. Three stars for the restaurant food but would give 5 for the whole overall experience. Amazing amount of hard to find anywhere else products was the star of the show. We dined at la pizza la pasta at was just ok. We tried to make a reservation a week ahead of time for IL Pesce for 7 but were told they don't take reservations for party's over 6 just to see a party of 8 wining and dining. Oopsie! Service was friendly but came with a few hiccups like missed entree,missed cocktail and overcharged on the bill for an extra cocktail. I've had better Italian food in the north end of Boston. Would recommend "the Experience" though.

As with their other locations, Eataly serves as both an Italian Market Place and an Eatery, all within a single venue. This is perfectly situated in the Flatiron District of New York City. This site features numerous restaurants, including the Amalfi Rooftop. Additionally, there are several cafes, takeout meals, a gelato bar, pizzas, and a selection of meats, seafood, cheeses, pastas, sauces, and other delicacies. This is a remarkable experience located directly across from Madison Park, which should be enjoyed when visiting New York City.

What's not to love about Eataly!? I wish it was here when I went to Baruch. I would have missed class all the time for sure getting lost in all the food, bad enough to already had Madison Square Park. Between the delicious food from decadent desserts, succulent sandwich and amazing imported Italian food, Eataly is truly a treasure trove. It's always so lively in here and it makes it even harder to decide what to get to eat. My go to is a quick slice to eat in the park. Whenever navigating here, the staff is always down to help answer any questions I have. And as hectic as all the sections are it seems like everyone still operates very smoothly.

Love this place, huge selection and the sandwiches are always a hit. Easy place to stop in and get treats and pastries for clients.

My friend and I visited Eataly during their Restaurant Week, where you can enjoy one antipasto and one entrée for $34 it was such a great deal. We kicked things off on the rooftop with happy hour cocktails before heading downstairs for dinner. I chose a buttery pasta that paired beautifully with a glass of bubbles, while my friend felt her pasta could have used a bit more sauce. Overall, it was a fun night out and a nice way to experience Eataly's restaurant offerings at a great price point.

My wife and I needed a quick late morning pick me up after walking through the city so we stopped by Eataly since we have had good experiences at their locations in Los Angeles where we are from. In all this location is no different than the ones back home. It did feel a bit smaller than what I'm used to for Eataly, but still filled with a fine selection of treats and foods. Customers were constantly coming and going, often leaving with bags full of supplies. We had come for tea & coffee. After seeing the pistachio croissants, I knew I had to try one. We put in our order and then stepped to the side. The person working the counter gave me my tea while a barista worked on my wife's coffee. The woman gave me my tea and then took the next customer's order. I assumed that my croissant would come with the coffee, but sure enough, it didn't. So, I had to get back in line and remind the woman that I had ordered one. She promptly apologized and grabbed one for me. Thankfully I was in no rush, but I was also surprised that it was forgotten. Especially considering that the coffee bar wasn't busy at all. In all, if you're willing to pay a bit more for items, Eataly is worth checking out. Is it anything that is going to change your life? No. But it's fun to visit and you can easily find high quality ingredients that can punch up your meals.

Loooove coming here! I decided to get a sandwhich for lunch one day and it didn't disappoint. They have so many options too and you'll never get bored Not only is it great for meals but also for getting groceries. I always come here a lot to get things to make a charcuterie board with my friends I enjoy how there's lots of different stations too. The interior is decorated in a cute way and makes you feel like you've transported to Europe! Everyone is always super nice and helpful too whenever trying to find items or to make the shopping experience more smooth

I thought this was just a restaurant and it was WAY more than I thought it was, it's a restaurant, food market, grab n Go foods, deli, specialty store, and much more. We decided to eat at the restaurant and this place was very romantic, the scenery, the ambience, the table setting and even the waiters were dressed fancy. I don't think I could find this much elegance easily in the state of Michigan for the price that this was. So I ordered a glass of red wine (don't ask which one cause I can't pronounce it) which was just very delicious and then I ordered a dish called "Carne Cruda" which was Raw Chopped Rosenkrans Beef with Thyme Aioli & Toasted Rustic Bread. I have never eaten raw beef before so the look of it freaked me out a bit BUT it was very delicious how it was prepared. This is very tasty. As my main course I ordered Spaghetti Al Pomodoro (for us simple people it spaghetti with Marinara sauce). The noodles were handmade, I literally watched him make the noodles himself which was amazing to see. The sauce was so perfect, creamy and full of flavor. The staff in here was so helpful from the restaurant to the deli where we ordered cheese and their cheese selection in this place is RIDICULOUS!!!! This is one of those places in NYC that you MUST visit if you LOVE cheese and not just love it but your body CRAVES it. Definitely come here, if I could give it 6 stars I would.

Great rooftop restaurant. I had the ceasar salad. The portion was good and the salad was delicious. The waiter was friendly and I liked the ambience.

Eataly is a huge Italian marketplace packed with Italian foods and other products, there is a fish market, meat market, restaurant, bar, coffee shop, ice cream shop and what not. The place is huge. I really like it. It is pricey but has quality products. There is seating outside too, at least for now while the weather is still warm.

Love love love! One of my favorite places in the entire U.S Lots of eateries and fresh Italian produce to choose from. I have enjoyed the pasta trio with a lovely glass of vino. I enjoyed making my own fresh charcuterie board and sitting outside in the perfect weather to enjoy it with great company. Staff are always knowledgeable and professional. They are quick to make sure you have a great experience.

We stopped here for lunch and wanted to try their special menu for that day, an appetizer and a main course at $27. The ambience is nice. It was sunny that day so it brightened your mood instantly. Spacious. We had a good start with the appetizer. The Mocktails are just ok. Forgot the names. One was mint, cucumber and basil. Tasted fresh. Nothing out of the ordinary. The other one has egg white in it. I could taste the fishy flavor of the egg white in every sip. Once it's in my mouth, the fishy taste is gone. So I had a mixed feeling of how I like it. The Pizza fritta-8/10; flavorful. A fried bread with tomato sauce. The bread is airy and crunchy. The tomato sauce is a nice touch. Crostone Pomodoro E Stracciatella 8/10. The stracciatella and the topping is so flavorful and yummy, not overly fulfilling. However, the experience went downhill from there. According to the staff, the pasta machine got broken down? We waited for over an hr for the main dishes. We jokingly said that they should go to their market grabbing some instant spaghetti instead of making people wait over an hour. Anyway, The manager came over to apologize and say he would take care of the bill for us. So we were told.. But at the end, they only took out the charge of 1 person. That was a huge miscommunication there. Oh, and gave us those desserts for free too. But If the main dishes were good and worth waiting for. I would be fine with that. But the spaghetti was so doughy and it was like chewing wet raw flour. And the other dish was so heavy. After two of that, it kinda kill our appetite. Both tiramisu and gelato were too sweet for us. After waiting for over a hour, I'd expect better spaghetti. What a shame! It started well but ended poorly.

Subpar cannoli from the coffee shop in Eatly. The staff was friendly and the manager addressed/resolved my issue. It is definitely a spot to visit but not a place to get authentic pastries from ...

If you haven't been to an Eataly, you're missing out! It's all things Italian and almost evening is prepared fresh. It's kind of like a grocery store but more even. There's a sit down restaurant inside as well and a cafe right by the entrance as well. It can get busy here so be ready for somewhat of a crowd. You can get fresh made pasta and most of the to to go stuff is prepared the same day as well.

Eataly never disappoints--especially when it comes to gelato. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, the gelato here continues to be a standout every single time. Tried the lemon cake this time and it was a pleasant surprise. The flavor was refreshingly zesty, with a hint of complexity that made it more than just your average citrus dessert. The sponge was light and airy--just the right texture to complement the bright flavor. Whether you're popping in for a quick scoop or browsing the bakery for a treat, Eataly always delivers on quality.

Great sandwich selection. Good assortment of groceries and wines. Upscale prices which are appropriate for the area. Fantastic Italian meats and cheeses and chocolates.

I purchased a couple of pastries from La Pasticceria inside of Eataly. There were so many options to choose from and everything looked delicious. I wanted one of each, but decided on a slice of the Caramello and the Terracotta. The Caramello was caramel dessert and had what seemed like a chocolate mousse. The layers surrounded the mousse tasted like caramel and almost had a pudding consistency. Overall, it wasn't a bad tasting dessert just not my favorite. The Terracotta intrigued me because it looked like a cube of chocolate and I wondered what was inside. The outside layer of chocolate was divine. Absolutely delicious. As you keep eating, you'll taste a caramel center towards the bottom and a dark cookie like crust. This was my favorite dessert. I didn't expect it to blow me away like it did. I highly recommend trying this dessert.

I stopped by Eataly near the WTC and tried two pasta dishes from their quick-serve counter. Service was fast, portions were decent, and both pastas tasted better than expected--fresh and flavorful. Great option if you're in the area and looking for a casual, affordable meal without sitting down. Bonus: They also sell aged steaks, seafood, and Italian cold cuts in the grocery section--sometimes with discounts. Worth a look if you're shopping nearby.

I had a great experience at Eataly. The food and wine are great. Staff are phenomenal. Beautiful space!! So much to look at and buy! Very fun experience!

I always love coming here and try something new! I don't usually eat the cow but I ordered it today. The dough is delicious. It is not very oily, which is the reason I don't usually order this.

Review for their holiday panettone: would recommend! Panettone is a sweet bread loaf served during the winter holidays usually with candied fruits or other toppings added. Eataly makes several variations: limoncello, pistachio cream, classic, and pear & chocolate. They're prepared with a lievito madre (mother yeast), eggs and Bourbon vanilla and the classic version I tried included raisins and candied orange peel. The bread was pillowy, soft, sweet with a strong note of citrus and a dab of bourbon. Goes terrific with a black coffee, maybe slightly too sweet though with a coffee wil help balance it out.

Walked in to my favorite Italian store in NY as it's been on my list to try out for a while. The place lived up to my expectations. Walked into the coffee bar followed by the Gelato station and a tasting table where they were sampling Panettone . Waked in further to aisles stocked with Italian cookies and chocolates , spices, pasta and more . The path leads you to am array of Italian sweet treat's , pastries tarts and tempting cakes colorfully topped with assorted goodies in different shapes and sizes . I picked the pistachio loaf and couldn't be happier with its texture and flavor. There was a long wait to get to pick your pasty choice but the beautiful ambiance and colorful eye catching display kept me going . The store continued to amaze me with the next aisle of pickled items like olives, pasta sauce options , deli meat choices and more galore ! There is a sit down restaurant , a meat section and a bountiful of food selections to eat & take home It's like an Italian wonderland that sucks you in and could get to be an expensive but worthwhile experience.

We ordered the Thanksgiving Turkey menu for 4, which we picked up Wednesday evening. Everything was very good. We recommend Eataly if you're not up for cooking. Two suggestions: the butter mashed sweet potatoes was a miss. It was prepared as a somewhat savory dish. The taste was similar to the excellent butternut squash. In other words, savory sweet potatoes was redundant and odd because it's traditionally a sweet dish on Thanksgiving (e.g., sweet potato soufflé, candied yams, etc.). My guests didn't "get" the savory take on sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving. Second, the stuffing was good. A bit mushy though. The Quinoa was a wonderful nod to the holiday. We froze most of it and will add it to chicken salad during the week. The gravy was excellent. We put it on basically everything. So too the Cranberry sauce was perfect.

I had read about this place prior to our trip to NYC. We found it pretty easily, after walking from our hotel. It is part restaurants, part grab & go, part bar, part grocery. They had two gelato stations. There is various seating in and outside. There was a coffee cafe too. I got a focaccio sandwich to go, and a cold Peroni. My granddaughters each got grab & go pasta. We then each had a bowl of gelato. Delish. We sat outside to finish that before taking our haul back to the hotel. It's worth a visit and I would return.

I've been a loyal Eataly customer for over 10 years, but apparently I've missed the day they rewrote the laws of math. I stopped by Friday to grab a slice of margherita pizza for my son - almost $10 for one plain slice. Meanwhile, the whole margherita pizza at La Pizza & La Pasta inside Eataly is $22. So... two slices equal a full pizza now? Interesting concept. I guess next time I'll just order the whole thing and carry it around like a giant slice - might actually save money that way.

We went here right after lunch hour but the place was still really busy. You decided to get a table in the Italian restaurant and the woman at the front told us she could see us if we promised to be done in exactly an hour. So we took her up on it rather than wait for a different table. Service was good and food was ok, nothing really special as it was just salad and a pizza NYC prices.

My absolute fav place to go when you just want to sample, have a good slow time savoring your food and relaxing is your focus. Had such a good time here browsing the aisles full of Italian goods, confections and groceries. Also an amazing place for good from such a variety of offerings. Had the rotisserie chicken, tiramisu and a glass of Prosecco from 3 diff counters. Has great seating, service is top notch and it's like you are in indoor streets of a city.

Great experience and good food. Food was served hot and had great flavor. Atmosphere is good and wait was not long . Service was good too

I came here late night with some friends and everything had pretty much closed except the restaurant. We ordered the pizza and some pasta- it could be our American taste buds but the pastas and pizza were very light and we felt like it needed more salt or seasoning. Our waiter wasn't that attentive and we had to keep finding him. Overall food was decent but way overpriced for some mediocre food in my opinion.

This is a very well known location in New York. Eataly is NOT a restaurant, it's similar to a shopping mall in the sense that it's comprised of multiple different smaller shops and cafes that all sell/serve Italian goods and foods. The bathrooms have very long waits. The location itself is very nice and feels Italian somewhat, and has great options for purchase. Overall, this place is good, but I wouldn't call it a must-see.

I love this place when I'm in NYC! It's a fun place to shop and see new product while getting some epic Italian! I've become obsessed with their pasta sampler. A great way to not have to choose which pasta when you're by yourself.

Just come here to have coffee at Cafe lavazza. Coffee always tasted good & so are the cakes. Theres seating available. As expected food & drinks are pricier than usual but worth it. love the vibe of this place. Always enjoy browsing all the Italian goodies & restaurants inside the same building. Bathroom is available. Accessible to public transport as well. Near Madison square park too.

My hubs had never gone to Eataly so as a rite of passage, we went to the large location in Flat Iron. I always love the energy and wide variety of stalls whether you are looking for groceries, speciality cheese and bread or wanting to enjoy a bite. We went for dinner and the service was quick and efficient. Our waiter offered us some suggestions but we had our hearts set on cacio e pepe, side of bread and mozzarella. I was genuinely disappointed by the bread, it was very hard and not fresh. I will say that the Cacio E Pepe was made with very fresh noodles and came close to what we had in Italy. Sadly nothing compares to Italy but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

This place can be really great. There's so much unique food made onsite and dry goods imported from Italy. If there's ever any oddly specific produce, meat, cheese or pasta needed for any recipe this is the place to go. Food can be pricey but it's a great place to bring tourists and family on their trip to NYC. There's always lots of classes and demos.

Il Gran Caffe in Eataly is holding a Tiramisu Festival. This will run through early July. Six varieties of the renowned dessert are offered and are in disposable jars. I paired the pistachio tiramisu with a cappuccino. This tiny dessert had crunch and cream but somehow needed more flavor and was more solidified. At $10.99 each tiramisu this makes for a rather expensive dessert. Just being here is pleasurable. I have been coming here since it opened and eaten countless pastries and drunk many types of coffee. Service is fine but often more people should be manning the station.

Food: 8/10 So many good food options! Service: 8/10 Servers were nice and knowledgeable about the food and the ingredients and what pairings work well together. Ambiance: 9/10 It felt like we were eating somewhere away from the busy NY grind.

Every time you're in the Flatiron area, make sure you stroll through Eataly. If you can't find it here, you probably won't need it. It's always fun, and mesmerizing, watching the Eataly eateries creating their magic (refer to the video). If you're not aware, Eataly also has a rooftop restaurant, Serra by Birreria, that is very good. They've covered every angle, are experts at their crafts, and attract the entire world.

We visited La Pizza & La Pasta on a Friday for lunch. Everything my friends & I had was amazing - I particularly enjoyed the Lambrusco, margherita pizza, broccolini, and focaccia! The pizza is about as close as I've come to real Italian pizza in the US! I've been thinking about it ever since and look forward to going back.

Some may call Eataly a "tourist trap" and while I don't disagree, it is still an excellent stop for foodies local and otherwise. I got the prime rib sandwich here a few days ago, and while the price has gone up significantly (now $30... RIP) it is still generously piled with layers and layers of beef, seasoned with just the right amount of sea salt and EEVO (and nothing else). Not too fatty or salty, just *chef's kiss* perfection in simplicity. I shared half a sandwich with some veggie sides, and it was more than enough for me as a lunch portion. They make this sandwich to order, so it took maybe 5-8 mins to get my order. Stopped by the gelato stall afterwards to get a small scoop of indulgent and creamy pistachio gelato to round out a delicious meal. The entire food court is grab and go but they have open seating throughout the store and we did not have issues finding a place to eat.

Il Gelato is one of my favorite spots downtown for sweet treats. This time I tried a Bombolato which took me a total of three attempts to finish! It was massive but tastes sooooo good I wouldn't dare let any of it go to waste!

This place is good stop by for the quick dessert! Post dinner, had a craving for their Chocolate Gelato and it was wonderful!! They do have options of non dairy which worked for me! The service is quick and the ambiance is fun to walk around or just to stop by and have a good coffee and dessert stop! Do go here on the late evening and enjoy a good dessert and coffee, they have plenty options to select from besides Gelatos!

You don't come here for bargain prices. You come here for extraordinary variety and superior quality. And Eataly comes through. If you have skills in the kitchen, you can get fresh fish of all kinds, mushrooms you can't find elsewhere and the list goes on And on. And on. Produce, meats, pastas, cheeses, chocolates, etc etc. This is a destination grocer, and my wife and I come down from Buffalo, NY a few times a year to stock up.

This place is absolutely great. There are shops along with restaurants that you can buy fresh pasta from. It's like a persons pasta dream when in Rome but just in NYC. I had this pesto pasta base and added shrimp but the real winner of the pasta dish was the pine nuts. It have a great crunch to the pasta which I was surprised. I will definitely eat here again no matter where the location is.

I attended the pizza making class on a Friday evening. The instructors were really nice and charismatic. You get a free glass of wine, take home dough, pizza, and appetizers. If you don't want wine, you can also get San Pellegrino Limonata. Definitely seems like a couples activity! I do wish there were different types of appetizers or larger pizza since the class cost $100+. The place was beautiful but I do wish there was a bit more for a 1.5 hour experience.
