My Chicago friend recommended the prime rib sandwich here and woah nelly was it damn good. It's so simple and oh so good! It's only bread, olive oil, prime rib, and sea salt flakes. Makes for a yummy lunch!

This restaurant is wayyyy better than their pizza restaurant. Food- My skirt steak I can honestly say was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Cooked perfectly medium, juicy, and had a light char on the outer edge that really took it to the next level. It came with Brussel sprouts and bacon underneath which might seem like a skimpy side, but it was really full of flavor and provided nice contrast to the heavy richness of the steak. The fresh bread we started off with was really good as well. The reason it is not five stars is because of the special. My dad ordered the special, veal ragu, and I'm pretty sure someone just stuck their hand down their throat and vomited on the plate. It was awful. Every other dish looked really good, my aunt enjoyed the fried pork chop, and my uncle enjoyed the beef short rib, but the lamb ragu=blah! Service- it's a little off-putting to see a lot of non-Italian workers but all in all the servers are very friendly and ours was extremely knowledgeable.

The entrance to La Carne is hidden on the second floor near the meat counter...if you look closely you'll see the Host stand tucked away in the corner. La Carne is probably the least crowded restaurant in Eataly, and because the seating is separated you won't have to worry about gawkers wandering past your table. If your host asks if you want bread, the answer is yes. It's some of the best rustic bread I've had, and the olive oil is excellent with a peppery finish. If you're interested, you can find the olive oil for sale on the second floor by the olive oil tasting area...look for the Roi brand. I had the Farro con Funghi, a pleasantly chewy grain mixed with mushrooms. The taste was good but not outstanding. My husband had one of the lunch special sandwiches, the Housemade Bratwurst panino with local mustard and braised cabbage. The taste was very good, and the ingredients blended well together. The bread of the sandwich was a bit too crusty for easy eating, however, but that's more of a personal preference. If you like crusty bread with excellent flavor, you'll like this sandwich. Overall, a good choice for a meal, especially if you don't feel like fighting the crowds at Eataly for a table.

Yes a fan indeed!! Got myself their chicken and veggies dish. I absolutely enjoyed it! it came with turnips and carrots cooked to perfection. The carrots were soft and flavorful. The turnips were crunchy and cut in bite sizes. The dish was about $16 and I also order two side dishes that were only $5 each. I got the fried potatoes and battered mushrooms. Quick service and delicious food.

Let's start with the fact that La Carne is one of several restaurants at Eataly which is already a major foodie destination. I had the roasted beet salad as an appetizer. Deliciously roasted red and golden beets with citrus slices, vinaigrette and mache. The main course was a new item coming on the menu, veal saltimboca. It was very tender and juicy with several pieces of prosciutto spreading the flavor over each bite of veal. This was sitting on a bed of mustard greens in a fabulous au jus. Will be a great addition to the menu!

Tucked away in a corner of Eataly, La Carne is a nice, casual place for good beef and pork. We started with the carne crude, then a veal-filled pasta, and then the flagship $44 New York Strip. All were very good, though the steak was not the equivalent of what you'd get at, say, Morton's. The service was friendly and very knowledgeable because I'm an insufferable Italian food jerk; so five stars for the server and his patience. Why four stars overall? Because after a nice meal, I wanted an espresso and a dessert menu, and my dining partner wanted a digestivo like a limoncello. Bzzt, nope, sorry. They only serve desserts, coffee, etc DOWNSTAIRS. With the crowds, standing in a line. Here I was, willing to spend more money on dolci and coffee and liquor, and they politely said No. That was bizarre. But otherwise a really good experience.

This is THE steak place in Eataly. As a neighbor and not a tourist, I was skeptical about the new "food emporium". This restaurant,in particular, dispels any touristy misconceptions. It's 100% a great big city and neighborhood steak restaurant. The tartare is delicious and the cauliflower is amazing. Great and well priced wines and a terrific staff. We enjoyed Tim as our waiter.

This is the all meat restuarant in Eataly. We had the special - steak salad as an appetizer and I had the steak, while my husband had the quail. All of the food is made by imported ingredients that you can purchase in the store. The food is cooked how meat should be cooked by professional chefs, so my meat was much more rare than I would normally order. It was delicious.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
