   The food & service were excellent. The only criticism I would have is a $4.00 charge for bread. That is not customary & I think they would sell more bread if they placed some bread on the table without charge.

   There were some items that we enjoyed:butternut squash ravioli, pizza and the cheese and meat board which was not served with bread. But the Caesar salad was bland and contained no croutons nor anchovies and also bland was the pasta with ragu sauce. The bread we did request was nothing special. If I return it will be for the pizza.

   Food was excellent, well flavored and perfectly prepared - value was ok due to price/portion but definitely a flavorful experience. Happy holidays!

   Our family enjoyed a wonderful holiday dinner at Eataly. The staff was exceptional, our food was amazing and presented beautifully. We were so impressed throughout the entire evening.

   The service was totally off. Never assigned a server, food came out in the wrong order, items left off Cesar salad and had to wait 20 minutes for someone to pick up my credit card. Kind of seemed like an orchestra without a conductor.

   Beautiful restaurant but the food was kind of disappointing ( when comparing to the branches in Manhattan). Pizza crust a little dry, appetizer- squash bruschetta- below expectations, only desert- tiramisu - was really good. Service in need of improvements.

   The appetizers were good but everything else was awful and overpriced. They served a salami and cheese platter without bread. My pasta as a main course was ice cold and about 4 fork fulls. Son's steak had no seasoning. Service was atrocious. I had reservations and we still had to wait for 25 minutes. I use a cane and there was nowhere to sit and no one offered me a seat. Servers arrived with main course before clearing the appetizer plates -- i had to tell them to clear them. I had to ask for grated cheese for our pasta. Dining room was dark and gloomy and the music they were playing was awful. And this was Christmas Eve. With so many fantastic Italian restaurants in NJ there is no reason at all to waste a meal out eating at Eataly. Completely disappointing.

   Our waitress who was not even suppose to be at our table came over and treated us with respect and professionalism. She was attentive to what we needed. Everything was timely. Our waitress went above and beyond. I hope the management realizes what a gem you having working hard for you. Lisa and Joe Daleo We would come back for the purpose of how well we were treated.

   First time trying new restaurant at Short Hills Mall...reservation required...waited about 10 min to seated in an empty section with one other table of three. Ordered focacia with olive oil...bread not complimentary on table. Had cavetelli with sausage and broccoli rabe....small amount sausage ground into dish....broccoli rabe good...overall mediocre dish...needed seasoning...partner had bolgonese sauce and pasta...same...needed more seasoning. Wait staff attentive...Daniella was wonderful. Will give it another try....

    We had very lovely hostess and wait staff and were seated on time. However the kitchen and food still needs refining. Main courses for two people were not prepared or served together. Salad addition - shrimp - were too few. We waited too long for espresso and watched bar tender do nothing. Wine was excellent! This was our second time and although improved from 2 weeks ago the restaurant still needs work.
