    We love the food (Tagliatelle Bolognese!) @ Il Pastaio. Great for nice meal when you want to go casual. The bread has improved although now the charge. (For a while the bread was not as good). Wines are just ok. Once you find one you like, the change list (even when it’s a BASTIANICH Fruili, which is delicious)! Best service at counter.

    When we got sat at our table, we were told by the host, we only had an hour to eat. In all the years dining I have never been told how long I have to eat and be on a time crunch in a restaurant. I get that it was busy and a holiday but that threw off the start of the evening right there. They then ran out of the pasta dish I wanted (which it was only 6 PM, seems early to be running out of food) so I had to order something else. Then, our waitress was far from helpful even after us telling her a few times we had never been there. She acted irritated that we didn’t know what we were asking and that we needed time to decide what we wanted. All in all I won’t be back to that particular restaurant in Eataly. The other restaurants are much nicer, more food choices and better Staff.

    Very busy place. Tables are packed tightly, feels crowded. Food and drinks are above average and served quickly. Service is highly variable though; it can be great or quite awful. Bar seating usually has good service because you’re right there next to bartender. Sometimes there’s live music on Saturday afternoon.

    Pasta was excellent and our group shared a kale salad. It was plenty for the four of us. Wine is pricey but good.

    If it wasn’t for the manager, we would’ve not had a great experience, our server wasn’t the best. The manager took over and she was incredible.

    The freshest pasta around, but it is pricey. Seating is in an open area of the market so there’s a lot of movement and noise. The service is excellent, server was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Pastaio and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was perfectly executed with authentic Italian flavors that transported me straight to Italy. From the creamy burrata appetizer to the rich, velvety pasta dishes and the perfectly cooked main courses, everything was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service was equally impressive. The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, always ensuring that our glasses were filled and that we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. They were also happy to provide recommendations and explain the menu, which made the experience even more enjoyabl
