"Opened its second California location at Westfield Valley Fair in San Jose in 2022, this multi-story, 45,000-square-foot, cheese-dripping, pasta-slinging Eataly offers everything from fresh pasta and gnocchi to Parmigiano-Reggiano, specialty jams, and whole wheels of cheese, along with a rooftop restaurant, a wine shop, and counters selling coffee, gelato, pizza, and more, and has become a kind of pilgrimage destination within the sprawling, luxury mall." - Flora Tsapovsky
"It’s no secret that Westfield Valley Fair and nearby Santana Row have become dining meccas, but for an al fresco meal in the middle of all that retail bliss head up to Terra at Eatly Silicon Valley. The restaurant has a small outdoor patio that mostly overlooks the parking lot — but it’s nevertheless a rare opportunity to dine outdoors above ground level. The menu is, obviously, Italian with spiedini, pasta, and woodfired proteins." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
"Italian food and drink emporium Eataly finally came to the Bay Area in spring 2022, making the 45,000-square-foot, three-floor marketplace and restaurant center the ninth location for the Turin-founded business. Come here for rare cheeses, a library of wine, and even cooking classes. Plus, there’s a rooftop restaurant for those looking to take in that South Bay sun with a glass of Nebbiolo." - Johanna Harlow
"Eataly has become a staple at my house for pasta nights when out-of-state visitors come; the pastas are always unbelievably good and fresh, and the tableside ice cream cart adds a fun, nostalgic touch." - Courtney E. Smith
"Our first choice for dining at Santa Clara’s enormous Westfield Valley Fair mall used to be XLB specialist Din Tai Fung. But these days the hot new place to grab a bite is the Bay Area’s first outpost of Eataly, which houses an array of dining options from fast-casual counters to full-service sit-down restaurants. Make a reservation online at one of the in-house options or plan your visit around popping by a quicker outpost and eating while you meander the aisles of Italian food items and ingredients. There’s even a rooftop restaurant and lounge if you can score a table." - Lauren Saria
