    We had a fantastic lunch amongst our shopping today. Our waiter, the food, and the ambience were absolutely perfect. I highly recommend you book a lunch here during the holiday season for shopping. It is perfect.

    The service was good. The restaurant was a bit small. The portions were small for the price we paid. For example, For the burrata, they gave one piece of toast to three people, and then they charged for an additional piece of beard.

    My first time at Il Pastaio, but I've been to the other Eataly restaurants previously. The food was fresh, especially the housemade burrata and pasta. However both entrees cooled very quickly and were cold before we finished. Service was fine. The restaurant wasn't busy (it was a Tuesday lunch). I might not choose it on a weekend when the store is very busy because of its location in the center of the store because of the noise. But it's fine on a weekday if you want to be able to see everything going on around you. That's part of the fun of the place.
