Eataly

"I ordered Cioccolata con Panna (Italian hot chocolate with whipped cream) and tiramisu. The hot chocolate was a bit too sweet for my taste, but milk was available at the self-service table to balance the flavor. The tiramisu was nice, with a good portion size for sharing. The place is nice with several seating options."

"Love Eataly!! and it exceeded my expectations. The italian culture and food Eataly really embraces just that! The restaurants are amazing, rich in flavor and true italian meals. You can have a glass of wine while you shop around the store. Very friendly staff and well educated on wines and foods. My wife and I walked in for a quick small lunch after having a few drinks at the signature room at the John Hancock yesterday. I got the prime rib sandwich from the sandwich station upstairs happy i did! Such a basic sandwich but so much flavor punch. Bread, prime rib,olive oil, salt and black pepper and that's it! The prime rib was so melt in your mouth tender amazing soft nice Fresh bread and top notch olive oil. We also had their pizza which was decent need bit more sauce but very good flavors. 100% recommend!"

"Very New York. Lol. Said with both sides of that coin. Super posh and spendy, but you really do get what you pay for. It took us a while to find the restaurant on the top floor, and all the other lovely imported items. And the lunch special feed both my husband and I quite handily. The tomato and fresh mozzarella fried rice balls were delicious and there were four to the starter plate. The tagliatelle with pork and beef bolognese was beautifully fresh. The pasta was obviously fresh, with that perfect snap and chew, and the slow cooked sauce stood up well to the snow of aged Parmesan that was grated on to of it. Sparkling water was served as a bottle as it should be where they sell three entire racks of truffle products, with white as well as black truffle. The waiter kept up a constant banter, with some stellar recommendations for farm to table restaurants in the area. Afterwards, we went and got a fresh cannoli, with the pistachio ricotta piped into the super crisp shell when we ordered the pastry. It was perfect."

"This place is amazing. Eataly Chicago is basically a two-story Italian food court — buzzing with energy and endless Italian options. From fresh pasta and pizza to cheeses, pastries, espresso, and wine—there’s something for everyone. Such a fun spot to explore, eat, and share a great meal together."

"We took a pasta making class here and absolutely LOVED it. Not only did we learn a new skill, we got to eat the fruits of our labor. Highly recommend taking a class (or two) with friends, family, heck even your enemies! The chef was really great and made learning easy. I especially have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to the manager Molly. She was super professional, warm, kind and knowledgable. She went above and beyond when it comes to service - and she was wickedly funny. She also helped me find the bottle of wine we enjoyed during class in the store so I could go home with a couple of those. Thanks Molly!"
