"Wow. I'm impressed, like really impressed with this place. I never heard much about it so I think that's what makes my experience that much better. I was visiting San Jose with my fiance and we stopped by and went through the grocery store/deli and loved all the Italian options. Authentic cheeses and meats along with an unlimited supply of authentic Italian options. We went to the 3rd floor where the restaurant was located and were promptly seated. The server as fast and attentive. The pasta made from scratch is outrageous. The atmosphere was inviting and fun. Great food, great service but it ain't cheap."

"Tried Eataly the second time very recently. It was the fall menu. It had the pumpkin/squash bruschetta . It was slightly sweet and the topping of green was very good. The Kale warm bread was good - brought out the smoothness in the kale. The menu had changed a lot and I felt it has fewer vegetarian friendly options. We tried the eggplant pizza and the mushroom pasta. Both were ok. The tiramisu too was ok. I felt like the quality of food has slipped a little."

"We didn’t have to wait to get a table. It was a little busy, but we got our food in a reasonable time. I loved the pasta with seafood and my dessert was very sweet, I would prefer something more lightly sweet, but it was ok. My husband got a bolognese pasta and it was not bad, but he said he would prefer a pizza next time. He got a dessert better than my choice(pana cotta with apple), I tried and it was delicious. A balanced dessert is everything! Overall, our visit was great. Nice staff and warm environment."

"Food is delicious. Service is meh. My daughter and I have been here twice now. Both times without reservations. Both times were able to get a table fairly quickly. First time service was good even though they were busy. However, this time I felt as though they were busy like before but the service was just meh. Had to wait to order drinks so we ended up ordering the drinks, appetizer, and entree at the same time. Had to wait to get the additional olive oil for the bread. The price has increased from our last visit which I get with current economy. You have to order bread/olive oil as an appetizer (not given as many restaurants do). For my 14yr old and myself it was over $110 with tip (which I even decreased slightly because of the lack of service) slightly pricy for the amount of food given."

"Tried Eataly recently and had a mixed experience. I ordered the truffle pasta, a mushroom pizza, and a Caesar salad. The pasta was a letdown — the sauce was too sour, the texture felt undercooked, and even with the extra $8 charge for truffle on top, it didn’t add much flavor. The Caesar salad was also pretty basic and nothing memorable. The pizza, however, was excellent — perfectly baked crust, rich mushroom flavor, and a great balance of cheese and seasoning. The wait time was about ten minutes, which was reasonable, and our server was professional and attentive throughout. Overall, Eataly is worth visiting, but I’d recommend sticking with their pizzas over the pasta or salad"
