La Pizza & La Pasta

We visited this restaurant for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. They seemed to be quite busy and the front desk employees looked very overwhelmed but they were doing their best. There is plenty seating available inside but it seemed like they didn’t open it all until it got overly busy at the front desk. Food was fresh and arrived fairly quickly. Portion sizing is not bad either. For mains, we got a margarita pizza, pizza with burrata, rigatoni pasta and cacio e Pepe. For appetizers, we got the bruschetta and focaccia bread. I would go return to try some of the other dishes. Our server was very polite and friendly. She also checked in with us multiple times.

Had a great time at this place. The wait staff was polite and quite responsive. The food was very good. The seafood pasta was really amazing. The bruschetta was too cheesy for our taste, the 2 pizzas we ordered were quite good. Some of their pizzas have a huge serving of cheese on top, so if that’s not your thing, you should avoid those (they have plenty of amazing other options to pick from).

The service was a tiny bit above average. We were certainly rushed at the end of dessert to pay our bill, despite it not being very busy (many open tables). The pasta with mushrooms did not arrive at my table hot (lukewarm at best), and as I ate it, became very gummy, to the point where it was sticking to the roof of my mouth. The tiramisu was good. The place does not deliver on good value for the cost; not even close. They have been open long enough that they should have gotten their act together by now.

Beautiful restaurant but they should have focused more on the food. Our party had the Fettuccini tossed in the wheel of cheese, the spaghetti, mushroom parpardelle and this chicken cutlet dish for $33 which was literally just chicken on a bed of lettuce leaves, all of these dishes just lacked flavor. For the price of it all too, definitely wouldn't be going back to the restaurant. The pizza was probably the best of everything we ordered, but again nothing that would warrant a trip back.

Food was good including the cheese wheel freshly made pasta at the table, however everything is overpriced. Service needs a big shakeup. Staff are in a hurry, waiting to get you out even if you had a reservation on a non-busy day and no warmth or smiles from them at any point. We dined a la carte , the waiter presented us the bill before we ordered dessert. Staff really need to be retrained. This was an underwhelming experience for me in comparison to the other Eataly outlets I’ve been to in the US.

Had an amazing time at La Pizza & La Pasta! My wife and I took advantage of the limited time holiday menu which included a 3 course meal for $35/person. At first glance you wouldn’t think the portion sizes would be spectacular but boy were we wrong. We ordered the bruschetta which was served with rustic bread, whipped ricotta cheese spread and truffle honey which honestly could’ve been the meal on its own. This app was truly delicious and deceivingly filling for something that tasted so airy and fluffy. For the entree we ordered the pizza and pasta dishes which we ended up sharing family style because of the extremely generous portions. The pizza was made with quality ingredients and you couldn’t help but believe this is the way pizza is made in Italy. But the star of the night was undoubtedly the bucatini all’amatriciana pasta. By far the best pasta I’ve ever tasted in my life. The pasta was cooked perfectly as each bite was the most satisfying chew. Not too soft and not too hard.. perfect! But the ingredient that took this dish over the top was the san carlo guanciale, otherwise known as pork cheek. These bacon strips were so pungent in flavour which was smokey and flagrant and utterly divine. It was so good we considered buying some from the meat section of Eataly. Our meal capped off with dessert which was an Italian style holiday cake offered in a huge variety of flavours. All in all our dining experience was exceptional and made especially memorable by our wonderful waiter who was truly a master of his craft. Extremely professional waiter who showed the utmost attention to detail and care for his patrons while not seeming overbearing or too present. This waiter truly exemplified the best of his profession and we were left extremely impressed. Good stuff all around!

Location is very cozy & clean! The staff were friendly and fast, too. I had the Carbonara - wasn’t the best, I’ve had better. However, my mom had the sea bass, I tried some and it was 10/10! Super fresh. The desserts were also very tasty. Would come back and try the pizza 🙂

Came here the second week it was open. Apparently they are still short staffed as it's team service as opposed to a dedicated server. As a tip, the wait staff Wear their aprons in half whereas the busing staff wear their aprons fully and cover their upper bodies. The venue is huge for the restaurant. This is the biggest Eataly restaurant I have been to. Had the Italian sausage pizza which was nice. The fettuccini with truffle was incredible. The size is much too small though. Also has the braised short rib. Took a little long to come out and we had to follow up. But it was unctuous and delicious with good size. Potatoes had a great truffle flavour and the beef was tender and cooked perfectly. This is a fantastic dish. Hopefully the quality keeps up but this was a great meal.
