How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

We went for lunch here during office hours. You walk through a nice Italian supermarket to reach this restaurant which is under the same roof. Its right opposite the Madison Park. I went for the set lunch menu which was truly bang for the b...

Ordered an affogato and gelato (flavors stracciatella and caramel)! The gelato was very light and creamy! The affogato was delicious as well but the cup size for the affogato was a bit misleading as it was only filled half way…still good t...

One of my favorite Eataly’s in the world honestly. You’re in the heart of NYC, next to the Flatiron and gorgeous Madison Square Park. And this place is like a Narnia’s Wardrobe into real Italian culinary culture. I like how neat it is insid...

I hadn't been to New York for a few years. I went there often for work and ate here frequently. I returned to Eataly NYC Flatiron in July of this year. My wife and I ordered two pizzas and two bottles of San Benedetto sparkling water. The p...

Nice but expensive, very expensive, very expensive. The food is absolutely not worth the price!!! Go eat somewhere else for much less money.

Eataly is an amazing place and I’ve always loved it, but the prices have gone up so dramatically that it now feels unreasonable. Paying almost thirty dollars for a sandwich or a simple bowl of pasta is honestly shocking. Pasta costs a coupl...

Hot and sweaty, tremendous noise and overpriced mediocre food. We came here on Jul 9, it was like a hothouse; it's a rooftop with a glass ceiling and no AC, maybe just 1 fan; the plants that are decorating it don't help much. Our waiter was...

For me, is always too crowded and there's too much going on and it has a factory grocery store vibe, and for me I could never really feel calm there. I don't understand how people eat right in the middle of all of the shoppers. And I'm from...

Stopped by Eataly because it was super close to our hotel and we enjoyed the one in lower Manhattan. Went to the pizza + pasta restaurant inside because of the reviews for gluten free pizza were so good. My wife has celiac, so I love any ti...

We had lunch here today and the experience was disappointing. We weren’t given the prix-fixe lunch menu until we specifically asked for it (arrived around 3pm). The fixed menu only had one meat-free option (cacio e pepe), but we were told t...

Each dish was perfectly prepared and flavorful. We received competent service throughout. The cost works better with multiple wallets. The serving size supported sharing nicely. The restaurant provides both friendship space and good eating.

Robinson was THE BEST!! Don’t miss out on enjoying his service at the Amalfi pop up!!! Had the best recommendations and made the perfect disgustingly filthy martini (that’s a great thing for non-martini drinkers IMO)!

Hello. I found this restaurant online because it advertised gluten-free options. My son ordered a pizza. Unfortunately, he responded shortly afterward, and we discovered that this wasn't the case. It's a shame. Furthermore, the prices are absolutely exorbitant. You're only paying for the location an...
