The layout and selection of items were very similar to what we're used to back home in Chicago. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch or perhaps an early dinner, but unfortunately, the meal was underwhelming. My husband ordered the ribs, which arrived overcooked and dry. I had the tortellini, which was just okay and only slightly warm. The waiter was friendly. Perhaps it was just an off day for the kitchen, but overall, the food didn't quite live up to the Eataly name we're familiar with.

I had dinner at a pasta shop which was good, but not great, chicken was dry, rest was decent food. Got pastries from bakery to go that were really good.

The restaurant dishes feature mostly the same ingredients you can find in the store. The menu is extensive, and also feature special dishes that are available only when certain ingredients are available. I had the opportunity to try several dishes here, and they were all great: buffalo mozzarella with basil and tomatoes; gnocchetti di Gragnano with ricotta and pistachio pesto; paccheri with prawns; stocco (codfish) with potatoes; chocolate truffle. I also discovered that Calabria produces a vast array of excellent amari. What I liked the most is the friendly atmosphere and how welcome the staff at Rosso Piccante are. This is a great place to catch up with friends and family, for a birthday celebration, or for a graduation party. As the space is limited, and the restaurant is popular and often used for family reunions and various celebrations, booking is recommended.

Bland. Maybe good for tourists but a sad bland taste for me. I should of checked yelp beforehand.read more

Eataly is quickly becoming an institution, not only in Italy but in few other countries in the…read moreworld (Eataly has a boutique on 5th Av. NYC, sadly no stores in the country where I live, yet). The founder had the brilliant idea to start a chain of supermarkets offering only the best products from all Italian regions (from Piedmont's hazelnuts to Sicilian cactus fruit jams). The quality is the focus and, that's the whole point of Eataly. At Eataly you can also have lunch or dine, and most of the dishes are prepared with top quality ingredients from their selection. It is quite a new experience to have your food inside a supermarket. I was not so impressed by the food they prepare, it's a bit rushed, and simple but after all Eataly is not a restaurant, so fair enough. I'd give 3 stars to the food served at the table and 7 stars to Eataly's concept. That makes a total of 5 stars.
