Il Pastaio at Eataly Dallas offers "spectacular" Italian cuisine, with homemade pasta and "delicious" appetizers like mozzarella and prosciutto.

    Food is excellent as is the service, but the price for both wine and pasta is above the value ($30 for a simple pasta dish and $65 for a $20 bottle of wine.

    The food was delicious but the bar drinks were not as tasty. They were expensive for the amount of beverage. The pasta and dessert were very good though. I would definitely go back but maybe have wine instead of a cocktail.

    This was my first visit and I really enjoyed it! I recommend making a reservation on the weekend. I had a ravioli with veal, pork, beef that was delicious. My husband enjoyed the pasta with mussel and clams. The prosciutto with bread was delicious. Meatballs were good. The tiramasu was the best I have ever had!! Pear drink was good. My daughter didn't like her buttered noodles (they smelled a bit weird without a sauce). I definitely recommend!

    Our girls night was wonderful at Il Pataio at Eataly Dallas! While the restaurant was located in the center of the amazing Eataly Wines, Cheeses and Specialty Items areas, it was just right for conversation and people watching. Our food was spectacular -- delicious and exotically Italian in all the right ways. The manager and our waiter were charming and accommodating! We will return for another girls night soon.

    Delicious!! We really like going to Eatlay and usually eat at La Pizza La Pasta but thought we'd try Il Pastaio today and it was fantastic!! Glad we got there early as they got pretty busy pretty quick. We started with the mozzarella, the carpaccio, and the prosciutto, and all were fantastic. Then I had the agnolotti and it was sooo soo good!! Too bad I was too full for dessert after all that, will have to go back again soon!!
