The mushroom pierogi are so also good, but sadly only available for eat in. Otherwise, most of the menu is available for takeout. The booth seats are old, so a bit saggy, so that's good to be aware of that if you have issues with seating and plan to eat at the restaurant (older folks, people with back problems, this is for you...).

New kid on campus?!? Gotta check this spot out!…read more I work nearby so I simply walked, and since it's on campus, I'm sure they expect mostly walking traffic. Some street parking on neighboring streets! The space itself is quite large and spacious. It fits the general design and flow of other Zupas spots, with counter ordering and choose your own seating! The staff were very friendly during my visit! I ordered the best thing on the menu: the 2 choice combo. I picked a full sandwich and a cup of soup! It comes with a roll and a chocolate covered strawberry! I had the BBQ Brisket sandwich, which is loaded up with meat, veggies, and a yummy sauce. My only complaint is that it's a bit bready. I also had the Mushroom bisque, which was a warming, creamy soup to heat up with after a chilly walk over! Lovely taste across the board!

Parking is a bit tough in this part of town, but there are some street parking spots available on nearby streets. The space itself is tucked between a few other establishments. It is small, with tables for groups of two and four, which is perfect for the students and staff passing through. The staff is always very helpful and friendly when I stop by! This spot is known for its Bahn Mi and Rice Bowls! I always get a Bahn Mi, which comes in small (plenty for one meal) or a large (perfect for leftovers or to split). The pork is my favorite, which is always tender, flavorful, and piled high! The sandwich also comes with a plethora of traditional veggies, including carrots, cucumber, jalapenos, and cilantro! The crusty, crunchy bread really makes this sandwich! I like mine with pate and mayo for a bit of creaminess! Never hurts to add a side of their freshly fried cream cheese wontons! The serving size of everything is also a great value for the cost. Truly one of my favorite slightly hidden gems in the Stadium Village area. Will be returning regularly!

Incredible! From the food to the decor, my whole experience at EaTo was amazing. I split the vodka…read moresauce pasta and lemon pesto burrata pasta with a friend and they were kind enough to pre-portion the vodka sauce on separate plates for us which felt like above and beyond service. They weren't able to do that with the burrata pasta due to the burrata ball on top which was completely fine! Both pasta dishes were tasty but the lemon pesto burrata blew me away. Every bite was absolutely incredible and it's such a unique dish that's hard to find somewhere else or replicate at home. I completely recommend giving it a try. The focaccia bread appetizer was also amazing! We added & paid for a few extra pieces to accommodate the size of our group and everyone absolutely loved it. The drinks were also really well done & strong without being overly stiff. They were really well mixed and tasty. Our server was so sweet and helped make the experience so special for us. I cannot wait to come back!

I usually sit in the…read moreoutdoor bar area, and I love that there's plenty of patio seating as well as a spacious indoor dining area. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to find a seat at the bar. Dev took great care of us! He checked in right away, answered our questions, and helped us decide which pizza to order. I had the Moscato, while my friend went with the Pinot Grigio, and we shared the Hearth & Honey pizza. We asked for extra honey, which was absolutely the move! The sweet honey paired so well with the pepperoni, cheese, and rosemary. We ordered the full-sized pizza, which could easily be split among three people. The patio is probably one of my favorite parts of EaTo. It's dog-friendly, has plenty of seating, and I love all of the flowers surrounding the perimeter, it makes the space feel especially inviting during the warmer months. Pro tip: If you're part of their rewards program, check your account around your birthday! I received a $5 birthday reward in addition to a free mini cheesecake, which was such a fun perk. They also seem to have some great specials throughout the week that I'd love to come back and check out. Between the patio, wine, pizza, and relaxed atmosphere, EaTo has become an easy spot to return to!

It's meter street parking but I've never had an issue finding a spot. The meatballs and sausage were amazing, but the pothole pie was really bland. We think they may have forgotten to add seasoning. Some of the tables are pretty small so if you're ordering a few things you may have to arrange the plates carefully to have everything fit. The servers are always really friendly and coffee is good here too. I'm between 4 or 5 stars only because of the pothole pie, but if they fixed that it would get 5 stars from me for sure! (Pictures of pothole pie and meatballs & sausage are from after we had started eating them)

The service was normal and the restaurant itself was clean. There were a lot of people inside eating, which seemed like a good sign. I ended up ordering the classic chicken banh mi. Honestly, I was not that impressed. I have had a lot of banh mi sandwiches before, and this one tasted pretty average to me. The seasoning on the chicken was a bit overpowering after a while and did not feel very balanced. The pricing was also a little higher than I expected for what I got. It was not bad by any means, but it did not really live up to the hype for me.

They make some delicious vegan food (both super healthy dishes like hummus and veggies & rice, as well as some more indulgent dishes like biscuits and gravy).

They have board games to play and there are even events from time to time. My one issue is that the bathrooms need a little bit of TLC. Otherwise, this place is great.
