Very clean and well organized market. Smaller than other Eataly's but still delivers. More expensive than other markets in town but you know what you're getting and easier to navigate if not local read more

Rethink about going if you are Asian. Studied Italian restaurant manners and language so I can respect their culture but still faced petty racism (I am asian). Only our table's pizzas lacked the decoration basil. The table next to us (Caucasian) who ordered the same item (100% positive) got basil. We didn't address it since it's so petty. Tell me it is lack of training, lol. Food was okay, not amazing compared to what you can get in California :) read more

Not nearly as large as the two in NYC but filled with upscale Italian pastas, cheeses, wines,chocolates, oils, vinegars, gifts .... There were tables out front & a casual, reasonable, limited menu. I guess if you don't have an Eataly at home it would be a great place to shop for gifts. Although I'm tempted to buy & eat a pound of their buffalo mozzarella. read more

Eataly has locations all around the world offering a marketplace and restaurant offering specialty Italian food items--and there was no better place to try this chain out than in its home country of Italy! The Insalata Naturale was a simple, refreshing mixture of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, radicchio, roasted zucchini, chickpeas, and walnuts; and the freshly-baked Piccante pizza came topped with a Cosi Come yellow datterino tomato sauce, Campisi chili sauce, stracciatella cheese, and basil. The yellow tomato sauce had a much lighter flavor than its red counterpart, the stracciatella cheese added a light creaminess, and the chili sauce added just the right kick of spice! Finally, we had the Filetto di Orata al Cartoccio, a fillet of sea bream with datterino cherry tomatoes and taggiasca olives, all wrapped in plastic and steamed. The sea bream was super tender and had a nice sweet, salty, acidic flavor from the tomatoes and olives. Overall, the food here was simple and delicious, and Eataly did a great job of representing the key aspects of Italian slow food in an accessible way. read more

The food here was disappointing. There is indoor and outdoor seating plus a shopping area for Italian goods inside. The pasta with spinach was bland and tasted like something that was just reheated. Carbonara was good but not the best I've had while in Florence. The Campari spritz was the worst alcoholic beverage i have had, very bitter. The service was slow and they missed multiple items when we ordered so others at our table had to wait additionally for their food. Overall, i would go somewhere more local and skip this location. read more

I really like Eataly, and venture into them whenever I come across them in my travels, so I was really excited to visit this one in Florence. It's actually located in Italy, where Eataly originated. Their first store started in Torino, just a few hours from Florence. Since arriving in Florence, I've wandered in here here on several occasions to pick up cooking staples, since we're just a few doors down. It's a great spot to pick up fresh pasta, quality olive oils and vinegars, etc. I bought their fresh Fagottini with Speck, since good fresh fagottini isn't easy to find in the Bay Area. These meat-filled​ cinched​ pouches held up well in boiling water. In fact, only about a couple broke opened during the boiling process. The speck itself wasn't overly salted or overly smoked, which speck can sometimes be. I made a simple dish with it for our lunch yesterday (see photo), and Hubby loved it so much that he wants me to make a pasta every day we're here (sorry, but that won't be happening!). Many of their items both in the U.S. and here in Italy tend to be pricey​ since they're located in very high-rent locations. However, they do carry a couple of excellent brands of imported dried pastas that are virtually impossible to purchase in the U.S. They're sold exclusive in the U.S. through the Eataly chain. Most importantly, these ones specifically are probably the best dried pastas I've had. I try to get my fill from their Las Vegas location whenever I can and reserve them for special occasions They also make excellent pizza here, which I've enjoyed for breakfast, to much of my chagrin. I got a piece of the Pizza Alla Pala, which was topped with fresh slices of tomatoes, and most importantly a whole entire chunk of fresh burrata!! I buy imported burrata at home all the time, especially when I make a Caprese Salad, but never ever have I had a whole piece on top of a pizza! Truth be told, the burrata was the real reason for my craving when I immediately​ set eyes on this. Just check out my photo, and you'll see why! Turns out, it tasted even better than it looked. The dough was chewy, and that burrata...mmm good!!! It was perfect room temperature, just the way it should be served, and the inside was soft​ and just a bit stringy. Perfetto! Personally, I prefer the significantly larger Eataly locations, like the ones in Boston, NYC, ​and Las Vegas. My favorite in the U.S. is their "glam" Las Vegas location. However, this was a nice branch that carried many quality​ essentials for Italian cooking. Can't go wrong with that! read more

If you've never been to an Eataly, go right now. Italian inspired, but it's American merchandised and marketed all-the-way. I've been to the one in NY (Flatiron district on Fifth Ave), and this is much smaller (by a longshot). Still, it's beautiful, super clean, and phenomenal -- I found the staff delightful and helpful. The gf and I needed a break from pasta and pizza, and decided to make our own feast: olive bread, mortadella, salami, pecorino cheese, and some olive oil. At the meat and cheese counter, they had a chianti by the glass for 3.5 euros...and we got a couple of glasses of it. We ate outside on the boardwalk, and it was honestly one of our favorite meals of the trip. After, we went back into the store and bought pastas, sauces, olive oils, cookies, and a variety of chocolate spreads for gifts (and us!). read more

I love Eataly. The first one that I ever went to was the one in New York couple of years ago. Then they opened one here in LA and I absolutely love visiting frequently. While in Florence last year we noticed that we are staying right by Eataly and got super excited. Stopped by few times for lunch. They don't have as many selection as the one here in LA but I still enjoyed the food they offered. Specially the fresh bread and sandwiches they make. The location is great, right by the Duomo. read more

Service is HORRIBLE! The male cashier on 6/2/2023 at 5:40pm was so rude...just a nasty human being! He should stay home if he doesn't want to work and make money!!! He threw away our receipt when we started grabbing our things and tossed our receipt to begin with. He also threw the bag at my husband. I regret spending my money here! read more

They didn't have any drinks and were out of most things. My margherita pizza had a hair in it. The drinks that they did have were not good. The waiter at 6:22 pm on 6/19/24 was rude and short, and honestly misogynistic. The ambiance was also terrible because of how loud it was. I would not ever recommend. Go somewhere local. read more

We ate in the sit down portion of the restaurant. The food didn't have a lot of flavor, the portions were kind of small, and it was on the pricier side. The service wasn't great either. There are definitely more authentic, tastier places to eat in Florence. The shop part of Eataly is really cool. It's a great place to shop for gifts. read more

Nice place to have casual eat. Not as amazing as everyone makes it out. The pasta dishes were very good. The house sauce was very good The pizza was good but I wasn't in love with the new dough. The service was a hit or miss. Out guy kept disappearing and it took forever get back to us. A 2 hrs lunch was a bit much for a small group. The takeaway area seemed to be way better. read more

I was really excited to stay so near to Eataly that I had to visit. This location is somewhat small, but still has the basics of what an Eataly contains. I had an espresso, a hot sandwich, and bought some groceries while I was there. The espresso was really good and went perfectly with my sandwich. I sat outside while enjoying my meal so I can enjoy the Firenze scenery. read more

We had lunch at Eataly today during a guided tour. This is a combination restaurant/market that we found to be excellent. The restaurant accommodated our handicapped daughter with no issues and we had the seasonal specialty, Tortello, for lunch. It was delicious and the portion size was perfect. If you are in the Florence city center, I strongly urge you to try this restaurant. Once you are done eating, you should indulge a bit and do a bit of shopping the market. read more

Tried some chocolate that was amazing. It was caramel gold. Tasted like a something we used to make on a farm with fresh cows milk.

Eataly is a chain. I was searching for truffle chips for my sister and found it! Very pricey for a small bag of chips - 2 euros! I bought the tiramisu yogurt and wow I could eat this all day. It wasn't crazily sweet and it hit the craving for sweets. I wish I bought more. They have bathrooms and free wifi. read more

To be Frank, I haven't gotten off the toilet since completing this meal. The only reason why I am giving this restaurant 2 stars is because the waiter was kind of hot. My ravioli came in a pool of pasta water, and for some reason they weren't able to separate anchovies from a dish?? Eataly was not a hit for me today, and I don't think I will ever be returning. read more

I came here thinking it would be grander and bigger than the Eataly in NY but it just felt like a smaller version of the NY one with way less stalls and food selection. You'd be better off going to a grocery store in Italy and avoiding the Eataly markup. In terms of prepared food, they have a counter in the back that sells focaccia and slabs of pizza by the weight, a coffee and baked goods/pastry counter, and then a restaurant upstairs that serves pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes. I wanted a quick snack and settled for a piece of pizza that had sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, and burrata. I asked if they could heat it up, to which they said yes, and then after I had paid and asked if they could heat it up, she said they couldn't. The pizza was cold, it had probably been sitting out all day, so I picked around the burrata, ate some of the zucchini and tomatoes and threw out the rest. It was 3,50€ for a small piece, which wasn't cheap, and it was certainly one of the worst things I ate during my 10 days in Italy. Skip this tourist trap that is designed for mostly Americans - you can find much better food elsewhere in Italy, and buy the same products at many other grocery stores and speciality stores. read more

A little worried that I enjoyed my food so much here... Anyway, I had been in the day before, having a nose around and didn't realize that they had places you could eat at inside. So I was determined, the next day to come back and have lunch. I got there at about 1:15-1:30-ish and it was so busy, I couldn't do it. You could barely move around the store, all the tables were taken and of course there were loads of people standing around, unsure of what to do. I decided to do some shopping and come back... remember everything, except the Lampredetto kitchen closes at 3 p.m. and reopens for dinner at 7 p.m. I came back at around 2:30 p.m. Much quieter, but still quite a few people having lunch. A reason I took a star off is 1) it is utterly confusing... menus all over the place, you have to pay attention to the specialties of the day, and you can't use the stairs right in front of you because that is for the waitstaff and 2) the staff, minus the guy who took my order, weren't very helpful, probably because they are rushing about all the time, but I did get charged for service, so it would be nice to get a little bit. Anyway, even after the waiter explained everything to me, I was having one of those moments where I just couldn't process it all, so I told him, "I would like pasta, what are those options?" I didn't need to hear anything else. I decided on the meat sauce pasta of the day which was a Rigatoni with sausage, Leeks, and Radicchio. I also started with a 3 euro taster of soup. It was a soup made with Farro. You pay after you order, I didn't think it was weird given the set up of the place... it is really more like a cafeteria than anything, plus it means you can leave whenever you like, no waiting about for the check or standing in line at a till. Shortly after the waiter gave me my change and receipt, another waitress showed up with my little taster of soup. It was actually bigger than I thought... kind of in a whisky tumbler. Then picture a serving spoon. I wasn't sure how this was supposed to work and said out loud to myself, "Is someone taking the piss?!" There were two ladies at the table next to me and I caught one watching and she also looked skeptical of the spoon fitting in the glass. However, it did. They do bring you a bag with some bread inside. Typically I don't eat the bread anymore, but because I was having soup and the bread seemed to fit better into the glass than the spoon, I went with it. It was really quite nice and I will try to recreate it at home! Then my bowl of pasta came. Really, all day long I was just thinking about a hearty bowl of pasta, but didn't just want your average spaghetti. This was what I was wanting. The pasta was so al dente, that I almost thought it wasn't cooked... don't know if that is possible, but it did take a little bit more jaw power. However, it was really the sauce that I loved. I love Leeks, and I really love Radicchio in pastas. You never see it in the U.S. and one of my favourite dishes is at a restaurant in Rome that makes pasta and Radicchio. To be honest, based on what I ate, you would have thought I was ready to head out into a crisp autumn day. Regardless, it was lovely. I do enjoy the different parts of the store, it is just a bit too congested and I always worry about knocking things off the shelves. I have scoured the books and haven't found an English one, which is a bit sad for me because I would love to recreate some of these dishes. If you are going to stop in, go closer to the end of lunch service, rather than at the beginning. read more

Eataly - Focaccia bread with prosciutto - Bakeries Near Me - Florence, FI

Since I have the honor of the first review... Some Background: This store apparently opened 3-4 days ago. The staff are clearly still learning. I ate at Eataly Turin and Milano about 2-years ago and had great food and was really impressed. I've not tried the U.S. version in NYC. I have tried the Tokyo outpost which was nothing special (Tokyo has really good Italian food. Possibly the best outside of Italy and local standards are high.) Restaurant Food Review: Had house red, panini with prosciutto, insalata with pecorino and pasta with meat sauce (it changes daily). Decent house red - good value and an overall good selection of regional wine. Insalata was nothing great, wilted leaves in my salad, overall kinda sad. Pasta with meat sauce was undercooked. No, not al dente, it was undercooked. The meat sauce tasted like cafeteria food - not a good Italian cafeteria either. Maybe an American high school cafeteria? The panini was very dry. Staff Review: All the staff were very polite and earnest (most of them). Many seemed confused and in need of a manager to coach them. Lots of confusion and staff unsure what to do with themselves. But this is a new store. And like I said, our waitress was very nice - even with my broken Italian. I'm sure this will improve with training. Grocery Review: The grocery area has many good regional products. I've read some criticism of the Eataly all-in-one approach - like how it's commoditizing Italian food culture ect. - but judging by the number of local Italians shopping here the locals are excited about this franchise setting up shop in Florence. No local backlash based on what I observed. Good choice of products and reasonable prices. The biggest drawback is how packed the store is. More people however seemed to be looking than buying. Checkout system is a little chaotic. Overall Verdict: Staff need some training but very polite. Cooks need even more help. Grocery has good products but still very busy as it's the new store in town still. I was hoping 2-years ago when I first tried Eataly in Milan that this chain would become a great global food brand like Din Tai Fung, Chipotle, Ippudo, Whole Foods, Pret a Manger, Maison Keyser, Grom ect. (to name some favorites). I think they're having trouble scaling and keeping the quality up. I hope to stop in once more before leaving Florence and hopefully can bump my Yelp score up. I'm also going to try the new Rome store next week. Maybe I can take back my comment about their ability to scale this concept. Best of luck Eataly, I sincerely want you to succeed. read more

I was not exactly sure what to expect of a touristy-name eatery in the ultimate tourist town, Florence. However, Eataly became a real oasis of cool and relative calm from the crowds (we ate upstairs, inside) and the food was excellent. Everybody got a little brown bag with three pieces of fresh bread. Prosciutto crudo e melone melted in your mouth, both the perfectly ripe melon and the lace-sliced prosciutto. 4-7 wine selections of each kind, a whole page of beers. Tuscan rose - perfect for lunch and complemented Gnoccini with small chunks of white fish. Pizza and BBQ chicken left the rest of the company happy and ready to climb the Duomo. I wish we did not have the full day ahead as the restaurant doubles as a fairly large grocery store with cured meats, cheeses, pastas and wines temping from every shelf. Highly recommend for every tired tourist in search of a cool place and good food in the center of Firenze. read more

Beautiful presentation but the pasta was undercooked ! Since staff here is rude, I could not complain. There is a pop up restaurant upstairs where we dined yesterday, amazing !!!!!!

After going to the one in Manhattan I was curious to try the one here in Fierenze. We picked a perfect night. We had a big wine tour in the day and a big lunch before we left Tuscany so we weren't starving for a big meal so we decided to come to Eataly to share a pizza and a pasta. We had the marghertia pizza with buffala mozzarella which the tomatoes they use in the sauce was magnifico! I loved it. And for pasta I had a spaghetti in a tomato basil sauce which was great, didn't even ask for pecorino, and my wife had a tagliatelle with a ragu. I tried it and thought it was delicious. Better quality food than the one in manhattan without a doubt and definitely not manhattan prices here. We skipped on the wine because we had enough at the vineyards and we came out of eataly, even with the comperto for $36. In manhattan that would have been $70 easily. read more

A chain store with nice bathrooms and lots of snacks and souvenirs. Personally, I loved the soaps and stood there for a good 10 minutes (ok maybe even 15) looking at all the beautifully packaged bars... finally decided on a lavender and a fig one...wish I bought a few more. :) The pizza by the slice/pound is good here and can be brought to the restaurant/cafe area. We loved the soup and totally went to town with both soups of the night - white bean and kale(?). Worth a stop if even just to marvel at the aisles of gourmet foods and product! read more

Eataly is a chain restaurant/department store, most foreigners now know of it, or I should say that they got to know of Eataly much earlier than Italians as most of the stores opened abroad before here in Italy. Florence was one of the late adopters of the joint, initially I was a bit dubious, after all if I want something special in Italy I know where to look for. In reality the offer that they is quite good both in terms of groceries and in restaurant food selection. It's quite expensive, this is the only drawback, but it's certainly top quality food and good service. read more

Location: A few steps away from the Duomo. The goods: I only visited the grocery store section, which offers up a variety of 'gourmet' stuff but nothing that blew me away. I found another shop on a side street that had way more selection and somewhat better pricing. The only thing I bought here was water - I somehow made this my pit stop each night because it was on my route home. That said, their water is on shelves, not in fridges so.... not very refreshing. Price point: Expensive for what you're getting. read more

I'm a huge fan of the Eataly chain and was thrilled to find one in Florence! We ordered pasta and wine for lunch, and things were generally good although I must say, not as good as the one in Rome. Nonetheless, it's a solid place to get a reasonably quick but quality bite whilst you're in the Duomo area. Service was generally good, and they even had an English menu, which was different (and very helpful) from the Roman chain. At least, you can trust that everyone would have been trained to follow the Eataly standards, so you can't go too wrong. We also got hams, veggies, cheese and fruits for dinner at our lodging, and everything was amazing. If you're looking for a takeaway option, I'd definitely recommend going grocery shopping at Eataly. read more
