Eataly - Short Hills

My boyfriend and I came here for our Valentines dinner. I've been to the NYC Eataly but this was my first visit to the Short Hills location. Our waitress was super kind and even helped us pick a wine we would like. We got to taste it before committing to buying it which was great. For our appetizer, we got the fried calamari & zucchini. It was cooked perfectly; the squid wasn't chewy and the zucchini wasn't too watery. Those are common flaws so I'm happy they avoided it! My main dish was lobster tagliatelle...I believe it was a Valentines special. I thought the dish was tasty and a great size portion- not overwhelmingly big or too small. I wasn't the biggest fan of cold lobster on hot pasta but that's personal preference. I mixed it right in and that helped it warm up to enjoy. Would defin

Fun place to walk around and explore the different sections. But the prices are a little outrageous. We got a lemonade and one slice of pizza. Both did taste good but we paid 17.50. We did wait a long time to have our pizza warmed up. There different sections are gelato, coffee, pastries, pizza, restaurant seating area, and the usuall home produce and products.

Amazing food and great service. We went on a Saturday night without reservations. The wait time was 1.5hr so we decided to sit at the bar with no wait time. They don’t have a lot of variety on menu but I guess that makes the selection precise and focused. Every dish was so yummy. Service was attentive. We had a great date night.

My first time at this location at it definitely did not disappoint. First recommendation…. Make a reservation especially during the holiday season. I did but plenty of people just showed up and there was such a long wait. Maybe because we went on Saturday for lunch and it’s the holidays so the mall’s extra busy. Staff: With our reservation we were taken on time. The staff/host/hostess were all welcoming and friendly. We were checked in immediately and taken to our table on schedule. Our waitress was great. She was the perfect amount of attentive. We didn’t feel rushed. Meal: Where do I start with the food and beverages. Well it was all so delicious. I was so pleased with all the meal choices. Everything tasted so fresh. Atmosphere: Busy. Again it’s the holidays so expect the restaurant

Thank you Roger T. for your service tonight. He recommended the tiramisu and we are not the biggest fans but this one was amazing. He was also quick and attentive, but gave us time to finish each course. The food was delicious! Can't wait to come back and try something new.
