I was excited to hear that an Eataly was finally opening up in New Jersey, and it made sense that they decided to open up at Short Hills Mall! I showed up for the grand opening of the store and was not disappointed. This location has a nice organized gourmet supermarket experience (although pricey, as expected), and a very visually pleasing setup for pizza, coffee, and gelato. The staff were very friendly during my visit, and I love their reusable totes available for purchase at the front (that were also given away for free to the first 100 visitors during grand opening). I personally have not tried the restaurant in the back or the gelato and coffee stations, but I've tried the pizza and sandwiches and it was very yummy! There was a line during lunchtime to get the pizza, but the line went quick and service was also quick. I enjoyed the slices with spicy salami and five cheese. I am not sure about going grocery shopping here, but I would recommend stopping by for a quick meal or treat in between shopping sprees! read more

Having been to many Eataly's (NYC, Chicago, Dallas) and enjoying each of them, we decided to try the new location at Short Hills. We were shocked to find how small it is compared to others. We also found the restaurant decorated more casual, almost like this was an "Eataly express". Our lunch started with the Bruschetta with whipped Burrata, sweet potato and honey which was awesome. Really exceptional way to start the meal. My wife had the Spaghetti Pomodoro and I had the Bacalla. Both were excellent as was our waiter and the entire wait staff. We will definitely be back to this, more casual, but just as tasty Eataly location. read more

Read a few negative reviews but hey, they've been opened less than a week and being so, hiccups are expected. My visit last night wasn't without hiccups but the outstanding staff more than made up for it. We were seated a horrifying five minutes after our scheduled reservation. And just as we sat down and I was about to physically assault the waiter for such abysmal service, a manager came over, apologized for making us wait so long (5 minutes) and offered two glasses of complimentary champagne. Now, I don't know about you, but I will wait an agonizing five minutes to do just about anything for free glass of champagne. "Sorry, the doctor is delayed 5 minutes but here's a free glass of champagne to make up for it" Deal. Done. Happy patient. Service was a tad bit slow, to be expected at a huge restaurant that has literally been open for a few days but the candor of the staff more than made up for it. Food was delicious. I understand that some of you weirdos will go to an Italian restaurant and order something stupid like a salad but not me. The truffle pasta was fantastic. And honestly, the place is running better than I expected and if they're missing the mark by a miniscule amount, it's only going to get better. For those of you dreading a less than flawless experience, wait a month, go and you'll be happy. Just don't order a frigging salad (they looked good by the way) Trust me. read more

Came yesterday and will review more fully when staff is more seasoned and lines lessen. They just opened last week and I was been excited Eataly's NJ location is open. Lines were very long, the staff seemed trained but still ironing out the kinks. They apologized and let us know they're new. Eataly is modeled after an Italian market. This location is compact but well stocked with a good variety of Italian goods. They have fresh produce, a sommelier, fresh pasta and fresh meat section, Italian wine and imported products. They also have counter service for Roman pizza, gelato, dessert/coffee with some stand up tables and small cafe tables. In the back is the seated restaurant with table service and a bar. Restaurant was booked solid until Monday. The place looks great but is small. Still, it's great to have. I look forward to returning. read more

We stopped here Friday after work to grab some dinner with coworkers. This is the only NJ location and the fact that it's located in Short Hills makes it even better. I made a reservation via OpenTable (which I would recommend doing as it gets packed fairly quickly). For drinks I ordered a Limoncello Spritz which was so refreshing and we did food family style. The pizzas here are incredible - thin & crispy - we got a mushroom truffle piece and it was heaven. Flavors on point - highly recommend. I want to come back here for the gelato! read more

Bruschetta with butternut squash -- tasteless Caesar salad - I have no idea what kind of dressing was on our romaine but it was not Caesar dressing Lasagna -- chef boy ar Dee quality. Terrible. I did like the wine. Do better for the price. No just no read more

The market itself is lovely, and we always enjoy picking up a few specialty items whenever we visit. However, this review is focused solely on the ristorante. The menu is interesting and offers a nice range of options. Since we visited after Thanksgiving, we kept it light and ordered just one entrée per person to avoid overdoing it. Don't be fooled by the pricing, though--the portions are on the petite side. I ordered the linguine with Canadian lobster, which was decent. The pasta had a noticeable seafood aroma and a flavor profile that leaned toward clam. The amount of lobster felt fair for the price, though I wouldn't have minded paying more for a full-lobster portion. The Negroni was generally enjoyable, though the balance tipped a bit too far toward Campari's bitterness. Service was efficient, but in a way that felt more like fast-casual dining than a formal restaurant--quick, but not particularly warm or attentive. There's certainly room for improvement there. read more

Located in the Short Hills Mall in New Jersey this location is smaller than the stores in NY city but still great to visit we purchased meats and cheeses with fresh bread to make sandwiches for are drive home.

America love Italian food and Eataly has become the go to purveyor of Italian food products since it first appeared in Manhattan over a decade ago. The new outpost in the Short Hills Mall is no different. The shopping area and the food are packed. We had to accept a 5 pm reservation for dinner (more like a late lunch for me), but I'm glad we did. The room is nice and the vibe is electric (not the typical suburban mall crowd). The service is also good. The food is great. Really terrific on all levels. The cocktails are great too! read more

Finally got to Eataly in the Short Hills Mall. The ambiance was very nice with lots of great items to shop for. The serving sizes were relatively small for the prices that they charge, but the food was very good. I especially liked the mortadella with pistachio sauce on toast points appetizer. Service was a bit slow for a Thursday night. read more

It's a small one in comparison to those I've been to but nonetheless a good spot with some good options especially if you are cooking for guests, convenient check out but pricey bags and it has a nice feel in and out with some seating outside also! Didn't even go in restaurant. read more

Great Italian restaurant close to home! Such a wonderful spot, the service was excellent, everyone was so attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. My husband and I loved the pasta tasting experience, and the tiramisu was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect date night stop after a little Tiffany shopping spree in the mall. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Came here for dinner in the restaurant and making a reservation is a must! They were pretty busy and At the time we went they were going mainly by reservation only. I got the cavetelli with sausage and broccoli which was delicious but it was just missing a little spice to give that extra flavor. I also got a limoncello spritz which was refreshing. After dinner, we went to the cafe portion and got gelato which was delicious. read more

Eataly Restaurant is the WORST amongst several of the finest Italian Restaurants in the area. The kid's menu is a trap. It may seem cheap but the adult entree's is overpriced to absorb the cheap children's menu that has add on's such as $4 per piece of meatball or surcharge for each pizza topping. The Salmon was fishy to the taste as if it was undercooked or not fresh and the server couldn't care less nor couldn't be bothered although they kept insisting us to keep drinking more only to push up the bar tab. Their Wine List is non-existing and their simplified Wine options is a total insult to Tuscany & Piedmont that can only be compared to a small step above Olive Garden but the mark up is gigantic. Yet the server only wanted to know if we needed more wine. I ran out of olive oil, water & needed crushed pepper, but I had to tackle another waiter for those non-charged condiments. Maybe I can try their take-out but I will not return because without the NYC water, they just cannot make the same pizza. If you need fancier olive oil or balsamic vinegar, try TJ Maxx and then come here for the Market. Eataly in NYC is similar but I'll go back to NYC for the better service and the wider improved selections in their marketplace. read more

I went on a Sunday and my entire meal was off. I ordered my usual but my focaccia literally came out mishapen, like somehow had punched it or the bread had deflated. The worst part was while I was eating, I found a piece of metal in my ravioli. I lost my appetite. I had to literally get my waitress's attention because she was swamped with too many tables. They offered to remake it but that is unsanitary. I've ordered ravioli before numerous of times here. That's disgusting. That very metal sponge is used to scrub all the pots and dishes in the kitchen but a piece of it went in my food. I coulda swallowed it had I not been cutting my ravioli into little pieces. read more

I've come several times and each time the service was poor. Missing utensils , didn't offer grated cheese or pepper , didn't clear dishes in a timely manner, have to wait for a table despite having a reservation, unfriendly hostess and staff. The food is decent but definitely overpriced, which would be justified with excellent service. Unfortunately don't think I'll be back. read more

When we come to Eataly Short Hills, we make sure we do not get the waiter with whom we had a horrible experience in the past. We actually love sitting at the bar (shout out to Josh!). In our opinion, the Short Hills location is better than the Flatiron location in NYC. The pastas are always perfectly al dente and not overly salted (like the NY location). We only wish they had their special Prix Fixe on the weekends like they used to. read more

Ssoooo I've been twice. And it has so much amazing potential. But they're struggling. The kale salad is some of the most delicious salad I have had in soooo long. The salmon was cooked beautifully both times ( I prefer well done). Gorgeous interior and amazing bubbly and wine list. Here's the issue. Both times parts of our orders were wrong. Both times our pizza orders were raw, and had to be sent back despite being asked for it to be cooked well done. Both times our severs was so kind but visibly overwhelmed. What's crazy is I'll still go back because the salad salmon prosecco were delicious but disappointed the actual pizzas aren't great. Would try a pasta next time too... but go with a headspace of ... it's still rough. Oh! And the tiramisu is fabulous! A real experience... read more

I stopped in because I've heard great things about Eataly in general, and I decided to grab a few slices of their Roman-style pizza at the Pizza Alla Pala counter. There was about a 9-person line, but there was an attendant who was helping to manage it, which kept it orderly. The line moved fairly quickly too. You have the option to order slices or a whole pie of pizza, as well as a small variety of sandwiches. All the varieties of pizza and sandwiches felt unique to me and not something you'd see at a normal pizzeria or casual Italian spot. I ordered two slices, one with Soppressata and a white one (mozzarella/provolone/and others). They were about $9 each and maybe 5" x 5" or so. This style of pizza is thicker (maybe 3/4") and the dough is light/soft, but with a nice crunch to it! Overall, I enjoyed the slices and would stop in again if the mood strikes while shopping. read more

We went to the mall and happened upon Eataly. It was crowded but we were able to make several purchases of food items. We also had lunch at a lovely table near the front of the store. We ordered a sopressata pizza and a focaccia Mortadella . Both were delicious. We even ordered some delicious Lavazza coffee. A bit pricey but all top notch products for eating and for making at home read more

Was super excited about this place opening in short Hills mall. I've been to two of the locations in New York City and they are just so much fun between shopping and eating and being lost in a sea of Italian food madness. However, this location, albeit new, needs a lot of work. Between service and price points, portions. There's just a lot of misses here. The people that served us at dinner were pleasant enough, but somewhat inexperienced. Our wine server attempted to open a bottle of rosé at the table, which had a twist off cap, but he kept trying to open it with an actual wine opener. The portions are very small and very pricey. The food itself is OK, not terrible not great. read more

Food wise, it was ok. Had a couple of sandwiches (prosciutto and the mortadella) and a slice of pizza. They were tasty and light. But for $45, it seemed a bit, underwhelming. That's just the three items. Was asked if we wanted them heated - looks like they were overwhelmed with a single panini press and single oven which basically caused the sandwiches to still be cold. Would have expected maybe a slightly larger sandwich or a slightly lower price. The other effect is, as others have mentioned, that it was really the only thing people were buying other than the full restaurant. This caused a line to be formed that ran outside of the establishment and the ill equipped security guard to awkwardly tell people to go to the actual line. On top of that, people then went to save the tables while they wait for the rest of their party to get thru the line and leaving no where to sit. Standing in the mall is not the environment to be eating the food. The patisserie looked good as did the coffee bar. But we probably will skip both based on the pricing/size as well as the configuration. read more

Very underwhelming lunch today. We waited 10 minutes until we finally had to ask for a server. We ordered the Capricciosa pizza and Pollo Milanese. 5 minutes later we were told they didn't have chicken. How could a waiter not know what they were out of at noon? I ended up ordering the Cavatelli. My pasta took some time but finally arrived without the pizza. Pizza didn't show up for over 30 minutes. No explanation, they just kept saying it's coming. No wine or bread offered for the wait. The pasta had very little sausage, not much flavor. A very boring dish. Had to ask for parmigiana. Pizza crust was not hot or crispy, very soggy. We arrived for our reservation at noon. We paid the check at 1:30! read more

We had reservations for 6pm but waited about 10 mins. for our table. Not a big deal. They just opened up and are ironing out the kinks. Several other groups attaches looking for a table and were turned away. We enjoyed walking around the small market beforehand and scouted out some things to grab on the way out. Then we were quickly seated at a table of two. Jay, our waiter was really nice and easy to talk to. I appreciated that despite the restaurant being busy, and perhaps even short on wait staff as it seemed to me, he didn't look rushed nor did he rush us at all. As someone with waitressing experience, he seemed well-trained and calm. I asked for a suggestion on a red wine for someone who likes sweet drinks. He suggested a Chianti which was in the middle of the short list of red wine offerings. When the wine arrived, the bottle was nearly empty. The woman pouring went off to fetch another bottle but didn't return after at least 5 minutes but then quickly realized her error once I flagged her down. We started with focaccia Bianca and a cesar salad. Both were fresh and delish. Jay recommended a single salad for the two of us since we were looking to make it from apps to dessert and I really appreciated his making this honest recommendation. Two salads would have been too much food. I had tagliatelle with truffles and my husband had the bolognese. Both were perfectly portioned and super tasty. For dessert, I tried the tiramisu and my husband had an espresso. My husband isn't a dessert guy per se. But he tried my tiramisu and liked it a lot. I loved that it wasn't very cake-y because I'm just not a cake person. And by that I mean spongy cake. Ice cream or mouse cakes I love! Anyway, it took a little bit of time to get the check. One of the wait staff came over and took it from us. But Jay brought it back to do the transaction right at the table. Again, they're working out the kinks in service and that's totally normal and fine. (((It's to be expected.))) Hopefully people will start to realize that and stop leaving grouchy reviews. Lighten up! read more

A lot of room for improvement and I'm hopeful they work out the issues as time passes. Service was inconsistent, particularly the pacing of dishes which took very long to come out; somehow the pizza came out last, even after our dessert came out. The food was also very hit or miss. Crudo di Salmone: Salmon was fresh and the olive oil was nice, but really needed an extra dash of acidity and salt. Bruschetta Autunnale: Ugh this could've been good but it was missing something, maybe some acidity to pair against the sweetness of the butternut squash? And worse, the "grilled bread" was grilled maybe an hour ago because we got it room temp and a touch stale like it had been sitting out for a while. Ravioli di Zucca: Tasted fine but felt one dimensional. And for $23, just terrible value. Margherita Verace: probably the best thing we ordered. $18 is a big price tag but it was delicious nonetheless. Tiramisu: This was fine. Cool to see the mascarpone drip off the sides when you remove the mold. read more

When this Location first opened up, I thought it was OK, but after running for over a year, I think they've improved the quality of the food and the experience significantly. Now, this is my go to Location for whenever I want to bring someone to a simple Italian restaurant that's been elevated. The bread is fantastic, and this is one of the few times I've ever gone to a restaurant where they freshly made hand breaded calamari, rather than just frying something from the freezer which is incredibly refreshing. I always enjoy ordering the pasta here, but this time I decided to try a Neapolitan style pizza, and I have to say it's also fantastic. At the end of the meal, I decided to try their tiramisu, and the level of presentation was truly wonderful, where the server unfolds the cover, with a layer of thin cream uses from the top of the desert all the way onto the plate, which is an incredible level of presentation.would highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic experience with the understanding that the focus is on simple Italian food that that's been elevated. read more

I've been going to Eataly locations since they've first opened in Manhattan. It's always been pricy, but usually somewhat worth it in quality, menu items, portions and service. This location seems to a very overpriced menu with below par service and a menu that is full of fluff. IE: Cacio e Pepe is like 28 dollars. I usually don't complain, but 28 dollars for less than a quarter a pound of pasta with an 1/8 teaspoon of pepper and two tablespoons of grated cheese is taking advantage in creating a menu item with the lowest cost per consumer at the highest price possible. Another item is fettuccini Alfredo which is 32 dollars and is just butter and cheese. read more

Had lunch at Eataly Ristorante yesterday which we enjoyed. We ordered off the $22 for two course menu. Ordered the - cream of broccoli soup (salty, would've been 5 stars if they weren't so heavy handed with the sodium) - salmon crudo- delicious - chicken Milanese- (+$10 supplement) - dressing on the arugula salad was way too sweet - spaghetti pomodoro- delicious but could have been more al dente - cavatelli with sausage and broccoli rabe- the broccoli rabe was like a pesto- really enjoyed this The portions were perfect for us. We would definitely return for lunch. read more
