Eataly also has quite a few restaurants for diners to eat the many delicious meals. They can eat at one of the sit-down restaurants with the themes of the food groups (reservations required). Diners can also catch a meal at the more casual La Piazza. The dishes can be paired with Eataly’s wide selection of more than 1,000 fine wines. Guests can choose such wines as the Vino Librero or the Bastinanch. Those that want beer can visit Birrreria, Eataly’s restaurant with one-of-a kind craft brew ales.
Though visitors love to eat, they can also learn to prepare the dishes and cook like Eataly chefs Mario Batali or Lidia Bastianich. Eataly offers cooking demonstrations from some of the best chefs in the country. Guests can also learn how to choose the best wines and even how to just navigate around Eataly with the knowledgeable staff. Visitors will easily pick up on Eataly’s manifesto: Food unites us all. Chicagoans can unite and enjoy a quality drink and a sumptuous meal at Eataly.
The restaurant is BYOB, but don’t pass up the chance to try Irazu’s famous oatmeal shake. The sweet treat is a similar to a horchata and the recipe is a closely guarded family secret. Other drinks offered at Irazu include hor-café (Costa Rican coffee with horchata) and Jamaican hibiscus tea.
Eataly brings the best of Rome to Chicago.
Guys, are you looking to show off your machismo eating skills? You’re in luck. Each Thursday night at La Pizza & La Pasta, you can participate in a group pizza eating challenge: Giro Pizza! Come hungry, because you can’t advance to the next round of pizza until you finish your plate. The deal even comes with a free glass of Peroni.

Irazu Restaurant: Central American Cuisine in Bucktown
"Serving the cuisine and flavor of our country since 1990 has been the ultimate American dream turned reality for our family. We feel fortunate to have the unique opportunity to share a wide sample of our traditional home-cooked foods to the Chicagoland area," Miriam said.
If customers want to bring the Irazu food home, catering is available. Year round, customers flock to the restaurant to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and in the summer, a lively and often times, crowded patio. If you’re thinking it’s too chilly to try it out now, don’t fret, they keep an enclosed patio with heat lamps. Irazu is one of the best restaurants for Chicagoans looking for authentic Costa Rican cuisine.
