I was at Eataly a few times for lunch this past month. The first time we went for pasta (amatriciana pictured above) which was really good. The second time we went for the meat section. If you've never eaten here before, Eataly has about 8 different corners where you can eat pizza, pasta, fish, meat, fried food, piadine (wraps), sandwiches, cheese and salami, and finally vegetables.
On the top floor they have a proper sit down restaurant which I have never been to.
The way these different food zones work is that you pick a table, remember the number ( leave something there so no one else steals your table), go over to the nearest cash desk and order, then sit back at your table and someone will bring everything over. The only down side is that you can't mix and match food from different places. Another minus is that if you want anything else or forget anything you must go back, stand in line at the cash desk and do it all again.
I have to say I was more impressed with the pasta than I was with the meat, but that could also be because I chose something that wasn't so impressive, namely the hamburger. Side note: hamburger in Italy is usually the grilled patty only and not an American style burger unless it is specified.
