    It’s our first time at this place, even though we’ve been seeing it for over two decades. In short, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, as it was light but very flavorful - not as salty as we thought we’d get from almost any Italian restaurant we’ve been to, some of which are very good in their own right. However, this lightness in taste stood out, be it the prosciutto in the salad or the clams in pasta. We’ll come back for sure.

    It's pretty great that New Jersey now has the opportunity to enjoy the popular Eataly without going into NYC. Food was fantastic and the restaurant is stunning. Staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating to a disabled person like myself. And if you don't want to eat at the restaurant, you can enjoy shopping in the market or eating in the cafe area with choices like pizza, gelato, and more. Definitely go check it out.
