Great place to shop for authentic Italian ingredients. It's a casual modern market. The fresh pasta counter is great. The meat selection is super fresh with Wagyu and Kobe beef. The seafood counter is super great. They had a whole big Tuna fish in the display fridge. All kinds of tother shellfish was also present and all Looked fresh. All the staff was super helpful and friendly. You can also have a glass of wine while shopping. They allow it. The only thing I didn't like is no validation and parking terrible at century city.

Cute shopping place with Italian goodies and treats~ We came here around 2 Pm on a weekend, fairly crowded. This place is a market with Italian grocery, food stand, and a restaurant. We got a limoncello and a aperol spritz to go at a stand, both delicious~ We got the bolognese pizza at one of the deli ($10 per slice) very generous size with lots of meat, could be meal for one or snack for two. The shop is very cool and has various pasta, condiments, snacks and treats. Overall solid experience, would recommend this Italian market for a treat or just walking around.

I really love the whole vibe of Eataly--it feels like a fun grocery shopping experience and they have a lot of really unique groceries that I haven't seen anywhere else. My favorite part of the store is that they have several food stations where you can get a variety of ready-made foods, like pasta, pizza, coffee, and pastries. I tried their lasagna which was decent (meat had a somewhat smokey flavor which was interesting) as well as their Margherita pizza, which was actually pretty light and enjoyable. Food was ready within 10 minutes of ordering and they have several tables inside where you can eat. I also really enjoyed their pistachio tiramisu. They also have sit-down restaurants in the back, which had good looking menus too. The store is located in Westfield Century City, which does have a parking structure, but Eataly unfortunately doesn't validate. However, if you go to Gelson's on the opposite end of the mall and purchase $10 worth of stuff, you can get up to 3 hours of free parking. Really good deal if you ask me.

Got some pastries and a slice of mousse cake. Everything was good, not great. Not as good as desserts you can get at restaurants or other places which offer dessert imo. We shopped around and looked through their fresh foods and produce. Got some pretty good, natural, organic chocolate milk. Wasn't better than Trader Joes chocolate milk but definitely good. All of the employees we spoke with and assisted us were very friendly and informative. This location is definitely not as elite as the NY location but I feel like that is to be expected obviously.

Eataly is always a solid spot for me to pick up food to go. Part of it is nostalgia (as I used to go to their NYC location quite a lot in college) and the other part is knowing my friends from Italy go here for authentic Italian goods. I ordered their funghi pizza, which you could heat up there or choose to take to go. I chose to do the latter and popped it in my air fryer when I got back home. Decided to add an egg because why not. Quite solid if you're looking for something quick and simple.

This review is for la pizza & la pasta inside Eataly. It's my first time at Eataly even though I heard good things about it. I had high hopes for the restaurant, but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. Came here on a Sunday and managed to snag a table around dinner time without a reservation. Servers were friendly and attentive. We got the melon prosciutto appetizer to share. It was good and the melon prosciutto pairing is always great. Will order this again, though the presentation of the dish could probably have been a bit better. They had the summer of pesto menu going, so I got the pesto basilico pasta. The pasta was cooked very al dente and the pesto sauce was good. My only qualm is that the portion is a little on the smaller side and I wish the pasta was cooked a little bit more (maybe 45-60s more). The pizza was perhaps the most disappointing. We got the diavola dolce pizza and was expecting a glazy hot honey but the honey was very watery and the pizza overall was lacking flavor. I also wish they were a bit more generous with their salami topping. The dough was good, but the entire pizza tasted very bland and more like a regular cheese pizza topped with a couple of salami and a dollop of ricotta. There's way better options for Italian food in the area so probably wont be returning here again. However, they do have a great selection of groceries so I'd probably just stick with the groceries!

When I'm at the gym and in a rush to grab a quick, hearty bite before my next destination, Eataly is my go-to. I usually stick to the hot food like pizza, sandwiches, meatballs, and lasagna are all solid. I haven't really shopped the grocery aisles, but the variety looks great. The food is consistently good with nice portions, though honestly, it's a bit pricey. Then again, everything in LA is expensive these days, so at around $20 a dish, it's become the new normal. The staff is always nice, and the cashier who helped me out this time was super friendly. I love the ambiance and the fact that there are plenty of spots to just hang out, catch up with friends, or knock out some work on my laptop. I'll definitely be back to keep working my way through the menu.

A beautiful selection of ripe tomatoes.

There are a few standouts still to be had and enjoyed here. The bomboloni at the downstairs coffee bar are excellent and worth going there just for those. At the same bar, is a Cremespresso frozen drink. These two items are 5 stars. Fantástico. The overall facility has lost a lot of its luster, from the opening days. It looks worn and there were a few areas where accidents occurred but no attention was paid by staff. The food section has a plethora of choices in every category; olive oil, cheese, tinned fish, wine, dry and fresh pasta, meats, poultry, candies, etc... The produce section has a great selection of fresh and beautiful fruits and vegetables. Overall a great place for specialty food shopping and snacking. I would love to see them refresh the space. There's a lot of good stuff to be had.

If it weren't for my ride-and-die cuzzo, I wouldn't have discovered this place. If you happen to need some authentic Italian ingredients, you will more likely find it here. From pasta to sauces to cheese to seafood to meats to produce to seasoning and everything in between, they will have it here. They even have specialty wines if that's your thing. The variety seemed endless! And if you're in the mood for a snack, they do have a section for fresh baked goodies. Seating and tables available. It is true: price point is up there but you will definitely be paying for quality. I loved the place so much that I had come through a second time before even writing this review. Definitely coming back - most likely sooner than later.

Eataly Century City never disappoints. This has become one of our absolute favorite places in Los Angeles, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. Ambiance: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Food: 5/5. Everything we've tried has been consistently excellent. The pizza is fantastic, the pasta is always delicious, the salads are fresh, and the wine selection is outstanding. Whether we're stopping in for a casual lunch, date night, or family dinner, the experience is always top-notch. What makes Eataly so special is that it's much more than just a restaurant. You can shop for authentic Italian products, enjoy an amazing meal, grab a glass of wine, and finish with gelato, pastries, or cannoli. It's truly an experience. My wife and I love it, and our entire family loves it too. I honestly can't stop raving about this place. The quality, atmosphere, and consistency are hard to beat. If you're looking for great Italian food and a fun dining experience, Eataly Century City is a must-visit.

Great novelty, but ease of access is slightly difficult. I live in the Manhattan Beach area and took a day trip to downtown LA. Parking there is quite expensive. The first hour is free, after which it costs $5 for the first full hour, and then billed per subsequent 20-minute period, with a daily maximum of $35. Doesn't make it easy to stop by and try out all their stalls! There was a lot I wanted to learn or ask about, but I cut my trip short to be at the 1-hour mark. I got an americano, and my boyfriend got a white flat. We enjoyed seeing all the snack options, jams, cheeses, and pasta. Everything is so neatly organized and presented. It looks very clean. We noticed there's a lot of ingredients that look really unique to elevate a home cocktail experience...like candied ginger and dried peels. We bought some of those and brought home jams (strawberry, lemon) and spreads (hazelnut). It was a very exciting first trip; everything looked so shiny and exciting.

Fettuccine al Burro di Tartufo e Parmigiano
Shane A.

I really wanted to love this meal more than I did. We tried the fettuccine Alfredo, carbonara, and the cacio e pepe pizza, and unfortunately most of it fell a little flat. The fettuccine Alfredo looked great and was definitely creamy, but it was surprisingly bland. I kept waiting for that rich, cheesy flavor you expect from an Alfredo, but it just wasn't there. The carbonara was similar. The pasta was cooked nicely and there was a good amount of pancetta, but again, it needed more flavor and seasoning. For dishes that are supposed to be simple but packed with flavor, both pastas were pretty forgettable. The exception was the cacio e pepe pizza. This was easily the best thing we ordered! The crust had a nice char and chew, and the cheese and pepper actually delivered the flavor I was missing from the pasta. Eataly is always fun to walk around and I love the whole concept, but based strictly on this meal, it was a 3-star experience for me. Nothing was terrible, but aside from the pizza, everything was just too bland to make me excited to order it again.

Wine not!!

May I order an Eataly LA gift card and have it sent to me in Florida? How would you suggest doing this? Thank you. Teresa

I think the best way to order a gift card from Eataly LA is to do it online. You'll receive an immediate email confirmation of purchase and redemption instructions. Virtual gift cards are available for $25, $50, $75, or $100.

Are dogs allowed in their outdoor seating area?

No, unfortunately. It's a market place below.

Do they stock FRESH (non-packaged) gluten free pasta?

Yes, the have a wide variety of different pastas. Enjoy!

Can you bring your own wine and pay a corkage fee?

Where park for gelsons century city?

Gelsons is on the other side of the mall from Eataly and the parking entrance for Gelsons is on Century Park West

Does Eataly (specifically La Pizza & La Pasta) validate parking? If not, what's the parking situation there?

No parking validation from Eataly. The best spot in the pay garage is the upper level, with direct access to Eataly next to Equinox.

Can I make reservations?

Yea for the restaurant. Calling in works best for me.

Is the restaurant open for take out?

Yes

If you make a reservation are you seated in the market? Is terra a better place for date night?

Every restaurant in Eataly has a dedicated dining space. They are all in the same open food court that the market is in, except Terra which is on the roof. The roof is more romantic than the Eataly food court, but the food options are limited.

Is there Access for Disabled people? Elevators? And or is there Motorized Scooters for the Disabled?

Yes, Elevators. No scooters.

What are the vegan options?

I don't know what the options are there for vegan we were very disappointed in Italy in Los Angeles compared to the one in New York we ended up not being there very long and moved on to something else. I was actually a waste of our time.

Which drive in entrance is easiest?

Go in the front on Santa Monica Blvd. next to the valet. Then follow the signs to Eataly and Macy's. Park on the highest level in the garage.

Is the patio dog friendly?

No dogs aren't allowed

How many mini-restaurants are within Eataly?

Around 4 i believe.

How do you order cakes? Is there a dedicated number or website with cake menu?

When you enter the store , on the left side you will see cake counter , a lot of choices. I love it !

Do they carry black truffles?

Yes! I have also seen them at the 99 Ranch Market. $20 each

Where's the la terra restaurant located :)?

Ciao! Terra, our wood-burning Italian grill restaurant is located on our rooftop. You can access it through our store by walking up the spiral staircase by our wine shop, or directly with the elevator on Avenue of the Stars.

Do they have Gluten-Free Pasta option?

Yes. It's not on the menu but they do offer a gluten-free pasta option.

I just got a this as a recommendation near me how are the cannolis?

Pretty good. Worth a try at the very least.

Do they serve breakfast?

There is a coffee counter but no sit down breakfast- the main area opens at 11am for shopping & lunch

We always seem to end up ordering the same dishes and we've never been disappointed. Everything tasted great as usual. They also had the Italian Custard on the dessert menu this time. We had tried it once before and absolutely loved it, especially the caramel sauce that comes with it. We practically had to fight over the caramel sauce. LOL. It's that good! If you ever see it on the dessert menu, I highly recommend trying it. We enjoyed everything but the overall atmosphere felt a little different this time. We actually wondered if something had changed with the management or the restaurant itself. We used to have to wait quite a while for a table but this time we went on a Friday night and there was no line at all. The crowd also seemed very different from what we remembered. We also felt a little rushed by our server which was disappointing. One of the things we always liked about Maccheroni Republic was the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and we had never felt rushed during our previous visits. I can't quite put my finger on it but something just felt different this time. Still, the food was great and overall, we had a good time.

No detail is overlooked. Beautiful design -- reminds me of what your Italian grandma's dining room would look like if she had great taste. We took a Lyft since the parking situation is tough (but there is a paid lot down the street) and we were running late.I called and left message that we were running 15 minutes late and they got my voicemail and they were great about. Table was available right away. Cocktails were impressive - and we started with a dirty martini and a Negroni blanco. The garlic bread made with Bub & Grandma's bread is a clear winner. Our server Emerson was top notch and steered us through the menu and drinks and was informative and friendly as very professional. When he'd walk through dining room, he was scanning to see if anyone was trying to catch his eye. And when I did he came right over. None of this look straight ahead stuff I sometimes see when it's a busy night. You can get out of Donna's for a reasonable price if you stick to garlic bread, salad and one of their excellent pasta dishes (5 of the dishes are in the $25-$28 range). We splurged and got the scampi (from France) what a sauce, truffle gnocchi, amazing chicken Marsala with amazing mushroom sauce $32) and the Cesar salad was delicious and not mailed in. We ordered 1 dessert (panna cotta with pistachio brittle and fresh figs) and they brought a tiramisu and tiny glasses of their own limoncello out on the house. We also tried 1 glass of their special vermouth since we are vermouth lovers. A++++ experience all round and it was a high level of ingredients and food -- chef and his team are top notch. I now need to find out who's the chef in that kitchen because they've built an excellent team. Donna's slyly calls itself just a "red sauce Italian restaurant" but I'd say that's a real understatement...and I think it's a great date night or small group place because it's intimate and you can hear your table partners talk. I don't recall any music playing - just the warm brown background noise of fun conversation. We ate early (my preference these days) and if you don't see any openings for reservations, ask Resy to give you an alert -- you'll get notified when reservations open up. Emerson said they always hold some tables for walk ins. PS -- I normally don't leave such long reviews, but I have some friends who are chefs and who own restaurants - and when I see other Yelp reviews where someone leaves a one star because the hostess was allegedly rude when everything else is great -- I just hate to see how it can affect a restaurant. I have no relationship with this restaurant at all. I don't know any anyone who works in it or owns any part of it, but I just don't like to see people abuse the reviews -- the restaurant business is tough as it is. And as someone who has worked downtown and driven through Echo Park for 30 years - I think Donna's is a great addition to Echo Park.

It was a busy Monday night with every table occupied when we arrived and a few people waiting. With reservations, we were seated in just a couple minutes at a comfy booth with a view of the kitchen and bar. Our server was James, who we had at our first visit. He was impeccable and set the bar high for other servers that followed. Needless to say, the husband and daughter were both happy to have him again. He left me a bit speechless when he actually remembered us from months ago, where we sat and our conversations. Super impressive. For our orders -- I've learned that I have a love/hate relationship with Mother Wolf's constant changing menu. Some items we look forward to, like the Sfincioni and Spaghetti Arrabbiata have stayed. While others either disappear altogether or change in preparations. This challenges me to try something new which always gives me a bit of angst.

The Zucchini Blossoms are a new favorite! For dessert -- Tiramisu, Crostata Di Mele and complimentary Gelati (for the birthday girl). So, so good!

What I particularly appreciated was how relaxed and welcoming the staff made the whole experience. No attitude, no pretension, just really lovely people who clearly enjoy what they do. We sat in the bar area rather than the main dining room, and I loved it. It was lively and fun, with plenty going on around us. If you prefer a quieter, more intimate dinner, there are some beautiful, cozy booths toward the back of the restaurant. The cocktails were excellent, the food was outstanding, and the staff made an already great dinner even better. We will absolutely be back! Sorry I didn't take any photos.
