Is Eataly WORTH THE HYPE? Reviewing The Famous Italian Food Hall

Рет қаралды 80,777

Күн бұрын

Eataly is becoming one of the most famous Italian food establishments in the world. Originating in Torino, Italy, Eataly has not only expanded to several major cities in the USA, but it also has locations all around the world. In New York City alone, there are two Eataly NYC locations. There is the Eataly NYC Flatiron location and the Eataly NYC Downtown location. This video will start at the Eataly flatiron location and then take place primarily at the Eataly Financial District location.
If you've never been to Eataly, it is a chain of large Italian marketplaces, or you could call them large Italian food halls. Basically, each Eataly location comprises of an authentic Italian supermarket. In addition to the Eataly supermarket, which sells a plethora of authentic Italian foods and imported items, every location also has a few authentic Italian restaurants. These include: SERRA by Birreria, Bar Milano, La Pizza & La Pasta, Il Patio di Eataly, Il Pastaio di Eataly, and Il Pesce.
Since Eataly in New York City opened in 2010, Eataly has gotten lots of hype and praise. This praise may be justified. Or is it all overhype and just generated by snobbery? Perhaps it is just coastal elites who fawn over the authenticity of the dishes and therefore inflate its quality on social media? We will find out together! We will taste the famous Eataly pizza, its cacio e pepe, and its sheep's milk cannoli to see if Eataly is legit or if Eataly is a tourist trap.

Yes! I work in the mall that houses the location in San Jose and I definitely got sticker shock the first (and only) time I ordered lunch from there. The price for the amount of food you get is exorbitant, and it tasted like it came from Sbarros. The level of my disappointment is indescribable. Needless to say, I pretty much only stop in for bread now, and even that isn't the best.

@@jamespohl-md2eq All pizza is pretty modern - like late 1800s - and all pizza was invented in Naples, but correct, Neapolitan pizza did originate in Naples (hence the name) which is the exact style the pizza in the video was trying to be. "Roman pizza" can be 2 things, either typically a focaccia-like dough cut into squares as a street food or a really thin and really crispy round pizza and neither of these styles came until the 1900s actually stemming from a few factors caused by the World War. That said, while Neapolitan is known for its thin, chewy dough - it usually holds itself together a little more than the pizza in the video and has a tiny bit more char on it, honestly the dough in the video looked good I think they just took the pizza out of the oven a few seconds too early!

I have lived in NYC for almost 20 years and have walked through both NYC locations many times. Never been tempted to buy anything other than a coffee. Your review confirms my fears that the food is mid and prices sky high. Ironically (b/c you mention it a number of times), the only Eataly I frequent is the one in Las Vegas @ Park MGM. The bartenders at the Milano Bar are friendly and the drinks are strong. Pair with a charcuterie board and I am in Heaven. The calamari was a ripoff, the pizza had way, way too much sauce (hence it being wet and soggy), and the portion of pasta was miniscule for an outrageous $26. Anyone can easily make (a much better and less expensive) cacio e pepe at home.

Razza isn't Neapolitan pizza per se(it's similar yet different) but it is very good, probably some of the best pizza in the NYC area. I've been to Rossopomodoro in Italy(that's the Italian chain who sells the pizza in Eataly) and it is better than the downtown Eataly, I'm not sure what is up or how it is different but the pizza is a bit of a let down, I think the sauce is distinctly different. By Italian standard there is too much cheese on that pizza and it almost seems like they didn't drain the liquid off the cheese the same way they would in Italy. Cacio e pepe is the simplest thing to make I cannot imagine paying $20 for what amounts to boxed spaghetti(yes it comes from box, Romans would never use fresh pasta for cacio e pepe or carbonara) with pecorino cheese and black pepper even using the best ingredients you can make 4-6 portions for like $8. In Italy it's a pretty cheap primo course in most restaurants, delicious no doubt but is that really what I'm ordering when I go out, I'd prefer to order something that isn't what I make when I have no groceries. My issue with Eataly isn't that it isn't great, the food hall not the grocery store(for certain Italian items it's the only game in town). But rather it is like the kind of food you'd get in a train station or airport in Italy but is far to expensive for what it is, it's basic food and a small portion at that for $20-30 per dish.

@anastasia10017 6 ай бұрын

I've only had the pizza there a few times and it was very good. it is not as good as pizza in Italy, but it is the closest you can get in the States. Yes, the groceries are expensive, but you look for the hard to find special ingredients that you want and for which you are willing to pay.

You want it dried at around 118 degrees for a few days. You can always make your own sauce, passata etc instead of paying some retarded ass price for it.

Flatiron locale: It's hit or miss. I like their seafood restaurant, but not their fishmonger; I’m not a fan of their steak eatery, but they have a very decent and accommodating butcher. I do like their desserts, and the cheese section is off the chain, albeit a bit pricey. The cured meats, again hit or miss. The two things I find ironic is the Flatiron locale is swarmed with Italian tourists, and the dry pasta tastes better than their fresh. The WTC location doesn’t have the ambience like 23rd Street. And, it’s hard to find in that big frigging maze of a thing we call the Oculus. Happy Mangia

It amazes me how many people criticize Neapolitan pizza for being the way its supposed to be. It wasn't wrong, you just don't like the style. Also good Cacio Pepe is just pasta water, cheese, and pepper. It doesn't get super thick, it looked good

The Pizza is meant to be like that 🎉

that type of pizza is really thin in the center and it's normal that it is that soft and almost the slice doesn't stand. in this specific case the may have put a little bit too much tomato sauce or the sauce had too much water. the razza pizza is more in the middle between the new wave and the classic one.

I live in NYC and didn't know there was a downtown location. Not surprising, but I've passed by Eataly while I was in Italy and it was always empty. 😂
