Eataly Restaurant The best place to eat before or after running the Chicago marathon. The attention is first class and the best Italian food in the city. For the runners they make a menu where they serve you pasta with sauces that are not very elaborate but delicious and with their double version.

Real experience
From the moment I stepped into Eataly Restaurant in Chicago, I knew I was in for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. A bustling hub of Italian gastronomy, Eataly offers a unique fusion of restaurant, café, and high-end grocery store. There was an immediate sense of anticipation as I walked through aisles lined with an impressive variety of fine Italian ingredients, from handmade pasta to an array of cheeses. My culinary journey began with a crafted cocktail, featuring the smoky allure of mezcal.
The bartender was an artist, skillfully blending the potent spirit with citrus undertones and a hint of sweetness that balanced out the robust mezcal. This was not a drink to be chugged, but rather savored, each sip being a delightful exploration of flavor. My appetizer was a rustic, hearty bread and fried risotto balls. The bread, served warm and fresh from the oven, had a satisfying crunch on the outside, contrasting the soft, fragrant center. The risotto balls were equally delightful, the crisp exterior giving way to a creamy, savory risotto that was rich without being overwhelming.
Next came the lamb pasta, a symphony of flavors that hit the right notes of comfort and sophistication. The pasta, cooked al dente, was the perfect vehicle for the slow-cooked lamb which was tender and bursting with flavor.
The sauce, a harmonious blend of tomatoes and herbs, tied everything together. The grand finale of my meal was the tiramisu, an Italian classic that Eataly has perfected. It was a beautiful balance of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa. Not too sweet, yet indulgently creamy, it was the perfect ending to the meal. Between courses, my server kept me engaged with a fun wine challenge.
A mystery bottle was presented and, using my limited sommelier skills, I was to guess the wine. While I didn’t win the bottle, I certainly won in experience. It was a playful addition to the evening, and my server’s charisma and knowledge elevated the game into a memorable highlight

The best experience ever! We asked them if they could do our gender reveal and they were awesome. The manager went above and beyond! The food was delicious as well. Staff was very friendly.

What an epic experience! I wish Orlando had one of these (Eataly gods please hear me!) took a trip to Chitown and had a pleasant time wandering through two floors of amazing products. Fresh meat, seafood, dizzying array of cheeses, epic wine selection and a restaurant that was to die for. I would shop here weekly if I had the opportunity. Great place for grabbing a gift for the foodie in your life. Thanks for making my trip a memorable one. Eataly is everything you want it to be and more.

Fresh, quick, delicious and great service. We enjoyed our quick late dinner at Eatily Elliot our service was friendly and attentive. Kids pasta only tagliatelle, they should have at least spaghetti, they were delicious but few other options should be added. We also asked for a side of peas from one of the salad since our daughter enjoyed them but we were told from the kitchen no. Not a big deal again but these are the requests that separate an okay restaurant from a great restaurant. Pasta with peppers was great and the olives were delicious. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Such a hidden treasure / gem in the middle of the city and inside the store. We went for a group gathering there. We had One of the best Salmon and chicken. Salmon was almost like butter. So soft and smooth and the chicken felt the same too. Ended with the tiramisu which was great too. Overall excellent experience finally Overall, Eataly Restaurant an immersive Italian dining experience right in the heart of Chicago. From the tantalizing menu to the outstanding service and the impressive shopping options. Eataly is more than a restaurant; it’s a culinary destination that promises a gastronomic adventure worth savoring.
