    The service was good. The restaurant was a bit small. The portions were small for the price we paid. For example, For the burrata, they gave one piece of toast to three people, and then they charged for an additional piece of beard.

    My first time at Il Pastaio, but I've been to the other Eataly restaurants previously. The food was fresh, especially the housemade burrata and pasta. However both entrees cooled very quickly and were cold before we finished. Service was fine. The restaurant wasn't busy (it was a Tuesday lunch). I might not choose it on a weekend when the store is very busy because of its location in the center of the store because of the noise. But it's fine on a weekday if you want to be able to see everything going on around you. That's part of the fun of the place.

    The food majority of our table ordered was because it was an action station but the “chef” said the day was too busy so they weren’t going to do it after our food was served to us. We would have all chosen a different dish because of this. The dish itself was lack luster and lacked balanced flavor.

    My friend was serviced a fish that he did not order, the waitress proceeded to tell us that she will comp the dish, which is expected. However, when the time for the bill came in, she brought us a bill that was almost double what we ordered and had the dish that was supposed to be comped on there. The manager had to come back and give us corrected bills. Just overall an odd experience. We usually go to terra, and trying this restaurant today was absolutely not the experience we hoped for. Very disappointing.

    Pasta was not hot by the time it got to me. Just mediocre for the cost. Oysters also arrived after everything else. This is the 3rd time I’ve tried this spot and it’s consistently slow and mediocre.

    We showed up for our reservation and they seemed confused like I didn’t have one. I showed them the confirmation. Service was lackluster, our entrees arrived and we were not offered any additional pepper or cheese. We asked for butter 3 times. It seemed like they were more interested in setting the other tables than serving us. This was a disappointing meal, tagliatelle was bland, I had like 3 beans and half of a potato in my Genovese. Will not be eating here again.
