    Went here for a team lunch with my colleagues and it was great! The place is huge like this cool circular setup that feels open and fun for groups. Took me a sec to find the restaurant (signage could be better lol), but it's ok No complaints. I ordered a beer, the bolognese (so hearty and flavorful, pasta on point), and this pistachio dessert I can't remember the name of but it was amazing, creamy with those crunchy bits, totally loved it. Service was good too. Definitely coming back for the next work thing!

    I love this Eataly! I stopped by Pizza alla Pala and tried a few different slices - mushroom, amatriciana, and margherita. My favorite was definitely the mushroom, but the parmesan on the amatriciana made that one super flavorful too. The crust was just right, crunchy without being too tough, so still really enjoyable to eat. Plenty of seating and fast service, which made the experience even better. After eating, I loved walking around and browsing all the products. Ended up picking up some pesto sauce to cook pasta at home, couldn't resist! Overall, a great visit. I'll definitely be back.

    Eataly is one of those places I really wanted to find a fault with. Italians are a proud bunch, and I wasn't about to hand out five stars just because it's Italian. But after coming back multiple times, I've got to admit -- it's really freaking good. What makes it special is the whole experience: the shopping, the dining, and everything in between. It feels like a living, breathing celebration of all things Italian, and it works. The service has always been fantastic, with a staff that's diverse, attentive, and genuinely kind. Every time I've been, they've treated me with warmth for no reason other than that's just how they operate. And if that's how they treat everyone, it's no wonder people keep coming back. I wanted to find something to criticize, but honestly? I can't. Eataly has nailed it.

    So many good choices in this place - pasta with fresh made noodles, make your own panini, Italian pizza slices, ready to go and ready to cook packed food, coffee, gelato, pastries, wine.... Service varies per stall but generally service is quick. It's inside a grocery so expect a lot of foot traffic and cheaters but the common dining area is clean, good lighting, view of the street and building next door. There's also a clean washroom in the area. It's a good place to go to for Italian food and you can try a variety of dishes.

    Lunch here was a treat! We ordered a lunch set (includes an appetiser and a pasta of yr choice) & a pizza. The Crispy Arborio Rice appetizer is a must-try - an unexpected burst of flavor and texture. The pasta was also a winner, with a delicious, non-pesto, vegetable-forward sauce. The pizza was freshly made with mozzarella cheese mushrooms and sweet Italian sausage (which was chopped small, like minced pork) on top. It tasted best when hot, and the crust was perfectly crispy and chewy, and could have been perfect with slightly more ingredients on top. Overall, the ambiance is cozy and causal and the lunch set is a great value. I'll be back! Give it a try if you are nearby.

    Gnocchi

    Was really excited to go here, but honestly it did not meet my expectations. The food was subpar and I have definitely had better Italian food in the city. I found that flavour was lacking in the dishes and the wait time was quite long. 6/10 recommend!

    There's a variety of shops and restaurants within Eataly. It's a nice place to walk around, get some specialty items, or grab some food, drinks or desserts. Everything is generally pretty good quality, and you definitely pay for the ambiance and quality as some things can be quite expensive.

    Got two slices of pizza from the pizza "take-out" area of Eataly. I was excited to try the the slice with the whole fior de latte on it. The cheese was really good, soft and creamy in the inside with a chewy exterior. However, the crust was not for me. It was way to chewy to a point I find it tough. There was no way you can eat it with plastic utensils. It resulted in me tugging and tearing at the crust with my teeth. Not sure if that's suppose to be typical of Romano style pizza....but definitely won't recommend getting it on your first date. The prosciutto with fresh mozzarella was a nice flavour combo. But again, the dough was tough...something not for me.

    Me and my partner went here for the two-course meal special. We got an appetizer and mains course for at $25 per person. For apps I ordered this deep fried cacio Pepe and it was the first time I've ever tried this dish. I quite liked it! I think the portion was just right though because any more and it would be too heavy for me For my main course I got the gnocchi which is my tried and true go to order any time I'm at an Italian restaurant. It was also pretty good! The sauce was delicious and tart and went well with the burrata. The service was excellent at early but that's to be expected. I've always have great experience with staff there. The tables were a bit tight during lunch but the overall vibe of the restaurant was nice as always.

    Eataly had been in my bookmarks for a long time and I had finally stopped by as I was in the area. It seems the hype has died down. Although the store was busy, there was no long lineups and it as generally not that crowded surprisingly for a weekend afternoon. This location has three levels, and going underground from Bay station it was very confusing on how to access the store. I ended going up on the street level and accessing the store from there, where there is an escalator to bring you up to the top floor where all the grocery and food court are. I did some shopping and picked up San Pellegrino flavours I had not seen before, some dry pasta shapes I never seen, and of course picked up a can of pricey truffle sauce. Tried these and they were good but honestly the truffle sauce in a can was not worth the price. It smelled like truffle but lacked any taste of it and tasted just like a very salty mushroom sauce. We also browsed the hot foods area and desserts. We decided to try the fresh pizza slices. We shared a funghi pizza which the staff heated up for us as we were dining in. Also, got the focaccia which was already packaged. This did not get heated up. The funghi pizza was packed with mushrooms and cheese. So delicious! The focaccia though was dangerously addicting. Despite it being at room temperature, the bread was so soft, fresh and flavourful. It was a bit tough to find a good seat as there were some tables with dirty dishes left on them (people had left them behind instead of cleaning up after themselves and stacking them near where the garbage is). We ended up sitting on a bench by the window with a small seat in front of us which we repurposed as a mini table for our food. I would be open to trying the restaurants or other food items here (was eyeing the desserts like gelato). I would be more enticed to go if there are any specials as the prices can be a little steep.

    Margarita Pizza
    Maria D.

    We had heard a lot about this place therefore, we decided to finally give it a try since we were in the area. Overall, this place is definitely a dream when it comes to Italian products however, be prepared to spend, as the prices are much higher than anywhere else. With that being said, there are definitely items that you wouldn't be able to find elsewhere, as they are imported directly from Italy. We decided to have lunch here at around 12:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon. It was busy however, we were able to get a table quickly. Upon sitting, we were given menus by our server, whom didn't introduce herself to us however, was pleasant during our time. I had settled on the margarita pizza, and had wanted a basket of bread to start off however, was told that this bread was $5.00; a bit pricey for something that usually comes free elsewhere. The pizza itself was good however, it was a bit too oily, making it difficult to eat as the toppings kept sliding off. Also, the crust was a bit too thin as well, which didn't fill me up as much as I would have liked. The other guests in our party had the pasta, which I was told was delicious. The food was okay however, I have had better, and for the price, I didn't think it was worth it.

    Affogato
    Fanny S.

    Having been to Italy and had their gelatos from different regions. I can say that Eataly serves one of the best gelatos in Toronto that resembled the flavours I tasted in Italy. My favourite flavours are their pistachio, mango and chocolate. This time we tried the affogato which came with 2 scoops of gelato of your choice. We also had the mango and pistachio in a cup. The flavours are on point yet they melted pretty quickly. Note that the expresso pour over was from a small red capsule machine behind the counter and not from an expresso machine from the cafe. It was still delicious with the gelato. The presentation could have been more attractive than being served in a plastic cup. I noticed that the plastic spoon says it's made from soy product though!

    Larie L.

    Just like any Eataly North America locations (I've been to Eataly NYC, Boston & Chicago) this place is overpriced, overrated and the atmosphere and food is not even worth a visit! At first glance you will see an impressive selection of artisanal olive oil, pasta, tomato sauce and truffle oil. Only to realize later on that grocery products here are extremely expensive and can easily be found at a typical Italian grocery store for half the price. As you make your way to the various food offerings be prepared to be disappointed. Underwhelming, underbaked, greasy and oily pizza seems to be the recurring trend for the 3 pizzas we ordered at Pizza Alla Pala. You would think that for a place whose main goal is to provide high quality Italian food and products, they would at least make a decent tasting pizza. Be also wary when paying cash as some staff from Caffe Vergnano will try to shortchanged you if you're not being attentive. I tried giving twenty one dollars and some change for an eleven dollars amount owing and cashier didn't gave me my change until I called her out. Overall this place is really built for tourists, not for locals living/working in the area. And with Toronto being spoilt for authentic and good quality Italian restaurants, it is better to go to these places for better ambiance and price point.

If you subscribe to their newsletter, or buy Peter Sanagan's book, you learn so much about what cuts of meat to use with what types of dishes, you discover hidden gems in cuts of meat, not to mention fantastic recipes. I had never heard of flat iron steaks (one of the most tender cuts of beef and very affordable) before Sanagan's and now it's a staple in my household. You are also able to order cuts of meat that are not available at the counter (I ordered duck hearts once) as well as order ahead online. The housemade sauces and charcuterie made by Sanagan's are also delicious. They might be slightly higher priced than supermarket brands, but they're highly worth it. Everyone is also super friendly and helpful at Sanagan's, you just know that they're being treated well there.

On my last [now final] visit, I asked for some of their "crumbled feta" and received a tub of cubed feta that was mostly brine. Yes, the whole weight *almost* reflected the quoted price, but paying 88 cents per hundred grams for mostly salty water guarantees that I will be shopping elsewhere from now on.
