Overall, eating at EatItalian was an enjoyable experience yet was not the best.
Food: 4/5
The food honestly varies with your personal taste, but I felt that the dish I ordered, the Gnocchi, did not have enough pesto flavor and was more akin to a cream sauce. The pasta was decent, but not the greatest. However, I did sample some other food, such as the burger and a different pasta, and those were quite enjoyable. I think it’s up to personal taste, but I felt that the food was decent.
Atmosphere: 5/5
My party was seated in the outdoor area, which provided quite a nice atmosphere. The breeze, coupled with the upbeat music and the gentle sunlight allowed for a very enjoyable dinner. I definitely recommend trying to sit in the outdoor section if possible.
Service: 4/5
Waitstaff was attentive enough, but not the best. They were friendly and helpful, but we did have to ask a few times for things such as water and bread. Overall, the service was pretty good.
Overall, a 4/5 because although the atmosphere was wonderful, the food in my opinion wasn’t the best.

The best authentic Italian food I’ve had on Staten Island. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the specials, and genuinely proud of her work. The food was amazing and arrived quickly. The peach sangria was a perfect summer drink.

Such a cute restaurant located in a strip mall. Was surprised by the size and decor being so beautiful. The food was great. The bread was not. But the meals were all delicious and it was very reasonable. Will definitely go back.

Excellent service. The sangria was great and the food was delish. Eat plate enough for 3 days. The frozen espresso shot was a nice treat!

Amazing experience from the moment we walked in til we left. The service was on point and the food incredibly delicious and enormous portions. You will leave with a full belly and leftovers! Can not wait to come back and try something else.

Holly schmolly we had a Sunday dinner here and the amount of foods on our plates was enough to feed 10 people and we were only 2…..
Prices are very generous and the surroundings give you a real sense of being in a little restaurant in Italy and I would suggest this place for everyone as you will be very pleased…

Staff is very very personable. Every time we go there, the waiters remember who we are regardless of how long its been there since the last time we went. Food is always giant portions and everything is delicious. Some dishes are not as flavorful as others but I really think it is too taste. Overall we love it here. Great food, and love the staff.

Celebrating a small family birthday. Delicious egg plant parm, pasta bean soup, and Gnocchi pesto. Wonderful ambience, only suggestion since authentic Italian restaurant to play Italian music vs. Spanish and consider Grilled Salmon. Thank you.

Wow. What a hidden gem of a restaurant. Went last night with 3 of us. Sangria, Apps Dinner & dessert all amazing. Owner walks around to tables to ensure you’re well taken care of and food was good. All the food came fresh, hot and delicious. Clam special App was like no other. People working were all friendly. We had a Veal, chicken parm & short rib dinners that we all enjoyed. Dessert also delicious. We had Italian cheesecake, cannoli & lemon sorbet. Go here. It’s an A+. You will love it

Eat Italian has great food. They have a good atmosphere, not great, but good. The service is impeccable, the only thing is that way way way overpriced on their food. They charge me 6 bucks for a peach soda and $5 for a seltzer, which is ridiculous for 2 people to have 2 entrees, almost a 100 bucks. Overall , great food , great atmosphere , but terrible pricing way way too high
