We ordered a Caesar salad, which was good as a start, Chicken Milanese, pasta with zucchini, and broccoli rob. The dinner was over 100 dollars. Chicken Milanese was very thin, the sides of this chicken were dried out, and upon chewing it, it felt as if one was eating an old, dried, and fried out old chicken thin cutlet. The chicken was not fluffy, or juicy, just dry. It reminded me of eating Kentucky fried chicken back in the days, only when we ate Kentucky fried chicken, I knew it wasn't healthy, tasted better, and it didn't cost that much. I wished we sent the chicken Milanese back, but the waiter wasn't around and we were starving. Still the damn Milanese chicken was so dry that we left half of it on the plate, unable to chew it and struggle with the chicken, I think the chicken won! Chicken Milanese dish was served also with various leaves which were very soaked in vinegar, and we only left it untouched. It would have been better to serve it fresh with oil and lemon on a side.
The pasta was greasy, and didn't taste good. I expected a good bunch (at least 50g of zucchini), but zucchini was torched in oil, I think the cook shaved zucchini pieces so that nothing from the dinner seemed healthy or nutritious. There was not much zucchini.
We spoke to the waiter about the food after he showed up, who told us that "this is how they serve it."
We went home to eat our own food because we ended up being hungry.
I highly recommend to Eataly to invest in more vegetables when they serve their customers. Zucchini is a fine large vegetable, and I think in general US needs to serve more healthy food, remove cholesterol (there is no need to put so much butter in pasta when olive oil is just fine and much healthier). A couple next to us was enjoying their fried up calamari (I haven't seen anything served healthy to others or appetizing).
The bathroom is downstairs. I don't think a person who is disabled or on a wheelchair can use the bathroom using stairs. They don't have elevators for the disabled.
I don't recommend this restaurant. We don't plan to return.
Nice ambiance. One can sit outside and enjoy the view.
