This was our first time here and to say we're impressed would be an understatement. We thought it would just be a little market and boy were we wrong! We decide to get drinks and a midday snack at Bar Milano. The bartender was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! We delighted in discussing wines and cocktails with him. Had an orange wine for the first time in our lives and really enjoyed it. He described it as "funky in a good way" and I can't think of a better description. It was very good. For snacks we had bread and oil and the risotto al salto. This is hands down the best appetizer I've ever had in my life, to include when I was in Italy. The risotto is cooked with saffron and chicken stock and then fried in clarified butter till it forms a crispy crust. It was so rich and creamy with that crunchy crust offering a perfect balance. There were also dollops of a cheese sauce that perfectly complimented it. I would have licked the plate if I had any less manners. And while basic, the bread/EVOO was also on point. The bread had a perfectly crunchy crust with soft, airy center. It had a perfect hint of saltiness to counterbalance the wonderfully pungent EVOO. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and people watching, surrounded by delicious Italian goods. I will definitely return.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary during Restaurant Fest. We sat by the chef's counter to watch all the magic happening in front of us. The service was warm and attentive. We appreciate the complimentary anniversary drinks and the wishes. Negroni lovers would enjoy going through the extensive Negroni drink list - our server’s recommendation was great. All the dishes we picked from the restaurant fest menu were fantastic. I am not a big fan of risotto, but the one here was cooked to perfection! The breading on the Vitello alla Milanese was so thin, and the seasoning was spot on that I couldn’t stop eating it even when I was full. We also tried the uni and caviar special - I’d recommend the uni piece.

Food was exquisite, from the drinks to the desserts! Would definitely recommend the Amalfi 75, a nice blend of flavors and the Panetonne, which was absolutely scrumptious! Looking forward to coming back! Chef Moises, Many thanks to you and your staff for your warmth and friendliness! Really brought home that family gathering feel.

Great Italian pizza and dishes all the way, and the decor is especially nice.

Make sure you make a reservation as it is usually packed, be advised that for tables of less than 4 you will probably be seated at the bar as the table space is limited. Loved the decoration and vibe of this section of Eataly. The service was excellent, I was also seated at the bar which I prefer since you can see the chefs cooking your food. I had the Uni bruschetta, first time trying Uni, I was not blown away by it but nothing wrong with the dish itself I just don't think I would recommend it unless you already love Uni. The ossobuco with saffron risotto on the other hand blew me away, I would come back for it in a second if I lived in NYC. I would love them to expand their beer selection to more hard to find Italian brands, like Messina cristalli di mare or something like that to set them apart. I did enjoy my cold Peroni anyways I love coming to Eataly everytime I visit NYC to try the restaurants and peruse the market, I always leave with a least a couple of cheeses LOL

Saw the 2 course meal at Bar Milano and decided to try it. Tried the Ricotta, Carne Cruda, Risotto and Tagliolini Pasta with shrimp. We both enjoyed our lunch and the service was excellent.

Pastas are excellent. Pricing is reasonable for the quality and Manhattan location. Vibe is usually pretty nice too. The entire store is busy but typically you can find some place to sit.

Food was great! Was well spiced, not overspiced and staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend eating here
