We had a lovely experience at Eataly Short Hills! We started with drinks (Limoncello Spritz, & Negroni Bianco) paired with Pane Rustico and Calamari Fritti apps! For entrees we had Tagliatelle Al Tartufo Nero and Cavatelli con Salsiccia e Broccoli. We finished off our meal with the fantastic tiramisu! The timing between courses and service was perfect! Highly recommend!
