About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Hot spot
  • Good for groups
While pizza and pasta are just the tip of the Italian iceberg, there is a reason these two culinary staples are the most beloved exports from Italy. Enjoy our seasonal selection just steps away from where our expert pasta chefs and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes before your eyes.

    Staff was overwhelmed so we repeatedly had to ask for water, etc. Food was good but not offered salt or peoper or cheese which would have helped

    Much better experience this time versus a few months ago. Food and service were both very good this time around. Seems like any kinks have been ironed out in mgmt. Pizza was delish. 😃

    It is a beautiful place! Very open and light! The sever was great and I was impressed that he was familiar with the more “obscure” Italian wines. The one thing that was disappointing was my entree. I ordered the chicken Milanese and I believe it was overdone. It was quite dry and seemed overcooked. My friend loved her tagliatelle with Bolognese which looked awesome. I would definitely go back again, but would order something different.

    Not a place to go for a salad. I ordered the kale and brussel sprout salad with grilled chicken. The chicken portion was very dry and small. Shared the eggplant appetizer which was delicious.

    Awful experience. The two pasta dishes were bland and tiny (one was served only lukewarm). It took a long time to track someone down to get pepper and grated cheese, to try to add any flavor onto the dish. By that time, it was totally cold. I specifically asked the waiter if these were entrees and he said yes. The dish I received was not enough for a small child. The rigatoni alla carbonara do asparagi did not come with crispy asparagus, as advertised on the menu, but rather with soggy, steamed asparagus. There were no eggs or black pepper either. Service was very slow. A member of the waitstaff removed our forks and knives after we ate our appetizers and then asked if we wanted "new utensils for the main course." Not sure how else we would eat our entrees-- with our hands? The fondue was the saddest thing we had ever seen- a few chopped strawberries and some dry biscuits to dip. All the portions were tiny. Huge waste of a night. Will not be returning.

    Pasta night -not. Family pasta dinner is a great idea, but Eatly (NJ) needs to work out the kinks. Execution was far from ideal. Especially with timing and consistency/quality of food. The manager acknowledged kitchen issues and made amends, so I won’t go into detail on things that urged us to leave after two hours - when the service still had 2 courses (and maybe a sweet) to go. Will I go to Eatly Short Hills again? Probably. For Pasta night? Probably not.

    Excellent service, delicious food - from appetizer to entree to dessert - a bit pricey, but what isn't these days?
