There was also some interesting cooking tools he prepared in our kitchen as we watched with amazement.

My husband was more than surprised and he said this was the best present he ever received! His favorite/ the pork belly, scallops, duck and key lime pie! We would love to have chef Mike back for future special events! If you want to book a tasting or just have a chef come over and cook for you I would highly recommend him!

The store itself is very stylish and elegant, I really liked the color of the interior panels. They have a wide assortment of foods including French butter, which tastes nothing like what's sold even in gourmet grocery stores. They serve delicious coffee and are very generous with the time they spend with each customer explaining about the vast array of sophisticated products they carry. Lastly, they don't only carry super expensive items, their assortment is versatile and targeted to a wide audience. I very much recommend this beautiful shop to everyone inquisitive and curious.

The bread had large air pockets, visibly soft, with a rich aroma of salt and milk; the olive oil was smooth and mellow, with a full-bodied fragrance, and the aftertaste even included a subtle, restrained hint of tea. Even knowing it's a calorie bomb, I couldn't resist dipping it in more. Baccala Mantecato: Classic Venetian flavor. The salted cod was tender and delicate, almost like a light foam, somewhere between raw silk and mousse; the dark bread was simple yet not coarse, perfectly balancing the saltiness of the cod. The most surprising thing was the refreshing aroma of celery leaves that emerged in the aftertaste, lingering and persistent. Lumache: When looking at the menu, seeing "chili butter, Jonah crab, breadcrumb," I never expected such a distinct citric acidity. The subtle acidity was gently enveloped in the fatty aroma of chili butter, perfectly complementing the umami and sweetness of the crab meat with just the right amount of spiciness. The lumache were firm and chewy, the sauce rich and smooth, and the breadcrumbs light and crisp, creating a rich and distinct texture. The portion was generous; even after microwaved the next day, the sauce had naturally broken down and the lemon's tartness had dissipated, but the noodles mixed with chili oil still had a unique flavor. Tiramisu: Highly renowned, and the staff were quite confident. The surface was covered with a thick layer of crispy cocoa nibs, the cake itself is incredibly soft and moist, and digging inside reveals an "underground river" of coffee liquid, while its bitterness was perfectly balanced by the sweet Marsala. The overall flavor was sweet and mellow, less bitter than typical tiramisu, with more layers of complexity. Actually, I was hoping for a slightly bitter version. Even on a weekday, it was packed with customers; by 5:10 PM, only one bar seat was left. Reservations are highly recommended. However, the bar was in a good location, with the bartenders being the easiest servers to find. It was a pleasant conversation with them.

The service is so friendly and seamless which in itself makes for a lovely evening. Highlights were the mussels, which were very fresh and delicious. The service here was attentive with the waiters offering more bread for the mussels. Most dishes are a little spicy, so if you don't like spice, make sure to note that with the waiter. The miso gelato is one of the most delicious savory/sweet desserts, and has lots of nice crunchy accents of the sesame crumble. Cocktails are fabulous, very smooth, as well as the mocktails. Cons: The crostini was nothing really special, and one of them came without the oyster butter. The meatballs, which were tasty but had a slightly hard texture on the outside. The prawn risotto was pretty one-note in flavor, and the prawn heads tasted overcooked and slightly off. The radiatore was spicy and nicely plated. The Cremoso al Cioccolato had a strange flavor profile that didn't quite fit, and had such a large salted chocolate-truffle section that we did not finish it (which is saying something)! Overall, if you are looking for a solid dinner in Boston that will guarantee be a nice experience because of the atmosphere, this is a good place.

This is a review about trying to book a private event at Eataly Boston…read more I was planning a corporate event in conjunction with a conference and I knew would be perfect for Eataly. But I don't think they actually *want* to host private events! May 29: I emailed their Boston-specific private dining email (per their website). June 8: After no response, I emailed again. June 16: I filled out the event request on their website. June 22: I called and spoke to someone, who said she could forward my email to the events team. June 24: After no response, I called again, only to be told that she would once again forward my email. June 28: I finally get an email back. But it's from the cooking class team, not private/events dining. June 30: A *full month* after my initial outreach, I finally get a response. I still don't have an individual's name or a way of contacting them except through the generic email. In the time spent waiting for Eataly to get back to me about a private event, I got quotes from two other locations quite close by at comparable places, both of which came in significantly below Eataly's costs.
