The entertainment was very loud, where you could hear conversations or them calling your name while you were waiting. I asked for bread and the dip that they give was a bowl of oil.

It's pretty great that New Jersey now has the opportunity to enjoy the popular Eataly without going into NYC. Food was fantastic and the restaurant is stunning. Staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating to a disabled person like myself. And if you don't want to eat at the restaurant, you can enjoy shopping in the market or eating in the cafe area with choices like pizza, gelato, and more. Definitely go check it out.
