A little sanctuary in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Eataly, not to mention the city.
Le Verdure is Eataly's vegetarian restaurant but don't let that stray you away – it is absolutely incredible and you won't be missing meat in the least.
With a daily specials board that always has a soup, salad, entree and pasta of the day – they are always fabulous but its the tried and true menu that will keep you coming back for more.
The fried cauliflower with caper and herb puree on top is stunning. I wouldn't be surprised if most people have the though of licking this plate clean after its all gone. It may not sound super exciting but TRUST me, it is fabulous and after I had it the first time I immediately rushed over to Pinterest in hopes that a copy-cat recipe was up there (note: there wasnt).
Another dish that is not to be missed is the gnocchi topped with roasted tomato. It's not your typical tiny pillowy gnocchi. Rather, it is 3 squares (almost like polenta) filled with cheesy goodness.
I'm practically drooling on my keyboard writing this as I reminisce on my experience here. GO! GO! GO!
My favorite Eataly restaurant is La Pizza y La Pasta, but veggies-only restaurant La Verdure is a close second. The ingredients are seasonal and fresh, and it's great to have a veggie-centric option.
Some of my favorite dishes I've had here are an artichoke sandwich at lunch time, the seasonal pastas (the last one I had was a rich pesto lasagna), and the wild hive polenta.
A plus is that the wait at La Verdure is usually not too bad and not as insane as some of the other Eataly joints. The biggest down is the food is over-priced for what it is, and there's no ambiance given you're in the middle of crowded Eataly.
I was pretty disappointed with this place. First, as a vegetarian restaurant there weren't many vegetable dishes. At the mozza restaurants in LA there are more vegetarian appetizers and sides on their menu than there were on this menu.
I started with the mushroom and farro soup. It was good, not very special though. What was a killer though was that I ordered the special of the day which was vegetables in an asparagus broth. It was a $14 dish. I am not exaggerating, this is what I got: I baby carrot cut in half, 2 snap peas, a handful of fresh peas, an asparagus. I think there was literally $2 worth of veggies. Overall it was super disappointing.
Excellent veggies only restaurant inside of Eataly.
Italian staples, with several Vegan options and an organic premium juice bar.
Ordered the Verdure alla Piastra *Warm vegetables, Farro Salad, and a Nebbiolo (Red Wine) Vinaigrette, and Marrone Pressed Juice * Cara Cara Oranges, Cucumbers, Carrot, Ginger, and Gala Apples.
A very good meal to break up the monotony of beige foods that are readily scarfed up in Manhattan and also the easiest seat to get in the building.
Tasty! Beautiful, diverse, fresh, healthy menu with the ability to make many items vegan. I went with one of the specials, a chickpea and bitter greens stew over some fantastic toast. It normally comes with an egg and cheese on top but you can easily order without. Friendly service and not too crowded on a Friday afternoon.
My family and I choose Le Verdure after seeing the long wait times at some of the other Eataly restaurants. So glad we got the opportunity to eat here! The food was delicious. The pasta was perfectly made, the vegetables were fresh, and there was no meat which I enjoy being a vegetarian. There were so many different options and varieties of meals and the three we got were delicious. Amazing flavor. People should try this restaurant more!
I usually head straight to La Pizza & La Pasta if I'm grabbing dinner at Eataly but decided to try Le Verdure, their vegetarian restaurant. We noticed that every other table was getting the same incredible-looking dish yet couldn't figure out what it was. A server caught our gaze and told us that it was the gnocchi. We ordered it, and it was delicious! The gnocchi actually reminded me more of polenta cakes and comes with figs, ricotta, and honey. Though it's listed as an entree, it was almost sweet enough to be a dessert. A lot of Le Verdure's other attractively plated dishes looked equally tasty, and given that there's usually no wait here, I'd love to come back for another light dinner.
Thanks my friend to being vegetarian with me. You need to wait to get seated first. The service is really lacking. We were seated for a while and I called someone to get my order taken. I got verdure, which is mix of vegetables. It's too oily. My friend got the egg pasta. The portion is not huge, and surprisingly good. For almost $20 per dish, it's definitely not expected for a quasi food court experience.
