    This Italian grocery and restaurant in one place. This unique market has many departments. It has grocery, dessert, wine, kitchens ware, fast food, restaurants and more. The aged beef and Kobe beef can be found here. I got the mango gelato for the taste. We also got some cookies for souvenirs. I did not try their distillery beer. The food restaurants at second floor seem like delicious.

    I love going to the Eataly in NYC so I was excited when I saw that there is one in Chicago. Eataly has everything! It sells baked goods, desserts and gelato, seafood, pasta, wine, and it also has a restaurant. The gelato was great. I ordered the tagliatelle alla bolognese. The pasta was made in-house and delicious. I wish it had a little more sauce though. The restaurant was packed so the pasta took a while to arrive.

    The most amazing, beautiful and elegant space. I wish I was able to have captured all the spaces within the Eataly space. We weren't aware of the different aspects within. If you love Italian food, Italian pasta, pastries, pizza,wine they have it all. We had fettuccine, with a side of chicken breast. The chicken was so moist. It was grilled to perfection. The focaccia was out of this world. It was airy. Just amazing with the best olive oil. They gave us a side of salt for the bread to add with the dipped olive oil and it just blended and melted together. Every bite was just beyond words. My wife had the Branzino. It was stuffed with aromatics that not only you could see, but also smell and taste. While garlic , rosemary, and lemons. It sat on a bed of fingerling potatoes, lemons and tomatoes. This was one of the most amazing experiences we have had. We cannot wait to visit another Eataly.

    First time ever at eatly, and I'd go again. We had the pizza, charcuterie board, tiramisu and the wine flight. It was all great, I wish I knew more of the place to start. I rushed to get a pizza on the first floor. But later found the restaurant upstairs. If I lived in the city I would absolutely shop for food or eat here often. It's a nice chill place and I can tell people love to hang out here especially on Friday night. Place was decently clean, service at the places we are also decent. All in all great experience

    I love exploring markets and this one has so many different food stations. We ended up at the restaurant and had a light lunch. So fun. Please and create your own adventure.

    Eataly is a cool spot. I got to Chicago super early before my hotel was ready, so I hopped on Yelp to look for a cafe. This was close to my hotel, and I've obviously heard about it as a tourist destination, so I was excited to go. The cafe space itself was great to get work done and grab a coffee. Seating was ample and over all clean. They serve Lavazza coffee which is great, and definitely elevates the experience. This counter/ cafe area low key reminds me of a mini food hall, and I really loved the amount of options that were offered. They have pizza, a bakery, gelato, pasta, and packed/ ready to go options. Since I had time, I decided to stay parked and grabbed a slice of pizza. It's Roman style, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. It wasn't my favorite but it wasn't bad! It was hard to decide which one to get, but I got prosciutto. It is a bit pricy, but that's downtown Chicago. I got a chance to look around at the market area and the store is really cool. They have everything you need for the kitchen. The staff was super awesome too, I thought I lost my wallet and they were very helpful. I'd go back and try something else next time!

    I ventured to this store several years ago and it is still the same. It has multiple floors with various imported gourmet Italian goods. It is literally a mecca of all things Italy. There is a small market doenstairs with easy to grab pre prepared meals and wines as well as other snacks and beverages as well as trinkets and souvenirs. Since everything in the store is pretty expensive, I don't really purchase much. I have other family members gift a meal or two for me which was eggplant parmesean and I have to say that it was pretty tasty. The portion size i think is generous as well though it did make me really sleepy and nearly almost put me in a coma Nonetheless, it was pretty delicious. They have a wide variety of other goods to choose from as well downstairs. When you take the escalator or elevator to the upper floors, there are dry goods such as breads, tomato sauces, cheeses, bread, and much much more. The wine wall was pretty spectacular as well amd they divided the wines by region. The other part of the store has a stand alone restaurant towards the back which was packed. They also had these stations woth an open concept kitchen so you can see the chefs cooking as well as the bartenders preparing drinks. That was fun to witness as I walked by. It was very hustle bustle and they had one lounge style sit down eatery with waiters and another casual restaurant in the back with waiters. I highly recommend it if you have not gone. I think it's a Chicago must do!

    Don't want it to get too busy but they do have a great $9 only spritz for two weeks! Only at their la pizza resto upstairs ! I got the limone gin spritz and the Campari spritz! My server Carlo was warm and kind. He's from Genoa where I visited in sep of 2022! It's not a larger city like Milan or Venice but it has its wonderful Italian charm! Highly recommend these two drink! Boozy and refreshing!

    Fun time at Eataly Chicago. Great selection of Italian food, sauces, oils, and wine! Butcher, fish monger, fresh cheeses to select from as well. If you're hungry (and thirsty) go up the 2nd floor and enjoy a nibble and glass of wine!

    Margherita slice
    Ken A.

    Stopped in to buy a bottle of wine for the hotel room and decided to grab a couple of slices for lunch. I had a Margherita slice and my wife had a Soppressata. At 9 and 10 bucks respectively, they aren't cheap but they're pretty large slices. They were also pretty bland.

    Sandwich is good
    Leung Y.

    I went to Eataly solo today! I always wanted to come here because we don't have Eataly back then when I was living in NYC. I got some candies, a pint of gelato, and a sandwich! The sandwich is so freaking professional! Because I want the sandwich hot, they disassemble the lettuce before heating it so it won't wilt! Such care and attention. That carmalized onion on the sandwich is absolutely delicious! We had the pint at dinner! Love this place. The staff is friend and patient. The poor pastry staff is super patience with me and have to handle stupid question about the options for a husband that got got a super weak stomach and lactose intolerant (like you are in a freaking Italian grocery! Daily and oil and coffee is a must!). Another I was drooling on the cheese and meat section but cannot get any. The other staff is super patience to help me check out with a pint! The self checkout is easy to use even for a first timer. There were so much stuff I want to get but I got no room in my suitcase! I really want to try the pizza but I think I have to switch to a different travel companion next time! I will definitely return whenever I am in the area!

    It has been a while since we were here so we decided to treat ourselves and go again. We were not disappointed. Our server was Scout and she was wonderful. Big help working our way through the wine list, gave us a couple of tastes and zeroed in on one that was just right! Her recommendations for food were spot on as well. Everything was amazing.

    Jacqueline L.

    Cool place. Love that you have the grocery store and also cafes and restaurant. Dinner is okay, good staple if you are in the area. Not a place I make a plan to go to, but more a stop if I'm there. The grocery store part is nice tho! Service was good. Nothing memorable.

    What is the dress code for the restaurant?

    It's very relaxed. Most people are very casual.

    Can people study and/or work remotely here?

    People bring i their laptops and have coffee, gelato and pizza downstairs. They have tables. It does get crowded after 11am

    Are reservations required?

    You can walk around the entire facility, purchase things get some espresso, etc. But if you're going to eat at any one of the restaurants and there's a number of them I would highly recommend a reservation

    Can we eat inside yet?

    Yes.

    Can u you go in an shop on the marketplace?

    Yes you can

    Is there parking available?

    There is a parking garage one block west of Eataly (10 E Grand Ave). It is accessible via Ohio St, Grand Ave, and Wabash Ave. If you have a $20 Eataly purchase (restaurant or retail counter), 0-60 min are free, 61 min to 3 hours is $12. Regular… 

    Has anyone eaten any delicious vegan food here?

    Yes. They offer pasta with marinara and veggies.

    Do they have cannolis as soon as they open in the mornings or should I call ahead?

    The cannoli bar isn't open until 11

    Does the have "food consultants" that can assist customers with ideas on how to use certain products? If not, that would be awesome. There were many items that seemed interesting, but I was unsure on how to use the ingredient.

    Yes absolutely we had a young lady named Maria help us and even gave us samples to taste. The staff are sent to Italy to learn about the products and their origins.

    Is it going to be open this 31st December 2018 to 2nd Jan 2019? As we are going for vacation to Chicago and would love to try this and other places!. Thanks!

    Yes, they are having a big New Years Eve party there

    Does eataly accept ebt? My grandmother loves it here and wants me to go grab some items for her.

    No. Unfortunately, they do not accept EBT as a form of payment at this time.

    Is this a good place to come for a birthday party of maybe 20 people? Does everyone get the food they want and pay separately?

    I would have to say no. Unless ur planning a reservation at one of their sit down restaurants, there is no guarantee that all of you would be able to sit together just out in the market place.… 

    We found Eataly during our last visit to Chicago and loved it. We are returning in March over a weekend and heard that the lines can be very long. Are there certain times which are better, maybe 5 or 6pm?

    On the few times I have gone, it's best before noon and after 8pm. People go for lunch and after work people get together for wine and charcuterie boards

    Is breakfast served? Found out they serve breakfast panini sandwiches w eggs and bacon and have crepes via Nutella bar.

    An American style breakfast was not however if your looking to enjoy a good cappuccino / espresso and pastry or cold cuts and bread or a sweet nutella crepe this will work.

    Do any of the places have gift baskets with Mexican food?

    Ciao! No, we do not carry any Mexican food. We carry products made in Italy or the U.S. only. Grazie!

    Do you know if any companies that deliver prime rib sandwich from here?

    Ciao Julie, we deliver prime rib sandwiches from Caviar at Trycaviar.com and you can also place an order via our catering team at chiprivatedining@eataly.com.…

We ordered the pepperoni deep dish and the pepperoni tavern style. The deep dish arrives in a cast iron pan, featuring caramelized crust that edges on burnt for a perfect, crispy crunch. The base is thick and doughy, layered with some mozzarella, a tasty sauce, and slightly charred pepperoni. The tavern style provides a nice contrast. Served cut into squares, it has a solid thin crust that holds up nicely under some melted cheese and loads of flat pepperoni. This remains my absolute favorite deep dish in Chicago, and I go anytime I'm in town visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation well in advance because walk-in wait times get incredibly long.

I had high expectations for this place but it was honestly underwhelming. The pizza had too much cheese, extra costs for adding toppings, and the crust was nothing memorable. Appetizers were good. My group shared jalapeño poppers and the chicken bites, good sized portion chicken and both came with sauce without asking so that was nice. Overall, I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't there as a tourist who's had pizza from different parts in the US. It was a nice try as a first and last time.

We came with a party of six and had a reservation for six, but our table felt more appropriate for four people. The restaurant itself is spacious, so it was disappointing that we felt so cramped.

We also shared the seafood pizza, duck prosciutto pizza, cup and char pepperoni pizza, and the gnocchi. All three pizzas were delicious, with very thin and crispy crusts. The seafood pizza came with a soup or broth that you could pour over it, which was nice and it also came with so much seafood. The cheese was slightly firm, but the pizza was still flavorful and enjoyable. The duck prosciutto had a noticeable duck aroma, melty cheese, and a rich, savory flavor. The cup and char pepperoni pizza was satisfying as well, especially the pepperoni with its crisp, curled edges. The gnocchi was another standout. It was satisfyingly chewy with a great texture and bold flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was light, balanced, and not overly sweet.
