Eataliano is located in Columbia near the Phelps Luck Pool. The lot outside the restaurant offers very limited parking, but there is street parking available. Upon entering, we were met with shelves of authentic Italian grocery items. A pleasant lady took our order. She was patient and assisted with selections and answered questions as well. We ordered the crab roll, cheesteak on a seeded roll, and an order of onion rings. The ambiance was of a small, local market with a comfortable, neighborhood feel. There was seating inside, but it was full. Our wait time was 30-40 minutes. As it started to get crowded, we decided to wait outside until our order was ready. While outside, we met Sam, the owner, who was very pleasant, asking where we were from and was it our first time coming. He stated that folks were coming from all around the areas to visit and thanked us for our business and threw in a NY style pizza for us to try! Our wait was a little longer than 40 minutes. We got our order and headed home. NY style pizza: Thin, well baked crust topped with thinly sliced pepperoni and Italian sausage on a layer of tomato sauce topped with dollops of fresh mozzarella and basil. The ingredients were fresh and the pizza had a sweet taste. This was good. Cheesesteak: On a seeded roll with tomatoes, and shaved meat with chopped onions and Cooper sharp cheese. This was really good. The meat was flavorful with the onions and the melty cheese providing the perfect balance. The roll was crusty on the outside and held up to the generous portion of meat on it. This was really good. Crab Roll: What we really came for. Creamy crabmeat filling with cheese and peppers wrapped in a crusty dough topped with Parmesan cheese. The cheese pull was exceptional and the taste: chef's kiss! The crab filling was sweet, delicate, and flavorful with the perfectly cooked dough holding it together. This was really good. Onion rings: onions slices fried a little hard for me. just okay. All in all, except for the onion rings, everything was great. We would definitely be adding Eataliano to our rotation of pizza parlors and of course, for the crabmeat roll as well!

I picked it up on my way home from the airport, and had to wait over 20 minutes for the wrap to be made. However, it was very good. I wish it had more chicken, but the Caesar flavor was amazing and tasty. The homemade sweet potato chips were the star of the show. Both salty and sweet, and something I would definitely go back for.

I'll be sure to order that next time. The place was pretty full and there were a lot of people coming and going picking up orders to go. Not a lot of tables inside, and a few outside.

The food is consistently exceptional, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and welcoming. Whenever friends or family visit from out of town, this is my go-to spot because I know they'll leave impressed. Most recently, I visited for brunch on Saturday and ordered the short rib gnocchi. It was absolutely delicious... rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling. I paired it with the bubbles flight, which featured an assortment of four sparkling wines and was the perfect complement to the meal. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back.

The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

I got a fish sandwich: fried flounder, lettuce, tomato, red onion, american cheese and tartar sauce on a kaiser roll. The fish was thin and crispy, the toppings were crisp and fresh, proportions were good. Made fresh to order; it hit the spot. I wanted mozzarella sticks, too, but they didn't have any. There's a salad bar and there was a hot bar, too, which wings, fried chicken, and a couple of asian dishes. You order at the counter and then pay at the gas station attendant counter, so if you want chips and drink or other snacks, you can just get them in the station and pay like normal. The deli gives you a sticky note with the price of your order. The service was friendly and the line wasn't long, but there was a steady stream of customers coming in to pick up their orders or make an order. I came around lunch time on a Friday. Seeing people eating where you are is always encouraging; let's me know someone thinks the place is good. And now that I've ordered from there, I concur. They keep the place clean. There's a couple of tables and they looked newly wiped down when I got there. They close at 4 on weekdays and breakfast is over either at 10:30 or 11:30. Next time I go, I'm going for some breakfast items.

When I first started going to Roggenart European Bakery, I would order a sandwich to go, and…read morewhether it was hot or cold, they packaged it in a clear plastic container. The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

It just might be the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's VERY sweet so I doubt anyone can finish one whole piece in one sitting but worth every single calorie.
