Eataly Istanbul's greatest strength is its abundance of choice, and that is also the first visit's main risk. Trying to use the Zorlu Center space as a market, restaurant and quick-bite counter all at once makes the order lose direction. Decide what kind of meal you want, follow one culinary line and leave shopping until afterwards.
Decide what kind of meal you want first
For two, sharing antipasti, one pizza and one pasta lets you try two strengths of the kitchen. For a group, sharing a few pizzas, salad and pasta can work better than separate mains.
Before a concert, state your departure time when ordering so the final half-hour does not turn into a rush.
A four-stop order
Do not try to fit all of Italy into one first-visit order.
Choose either cured meat or vegetables to begin.
Order one classic pizza for the middle.
Ask about the fresh pasta and avoid repeating the pizza's sauce.
Choose dessert after seeing the counter.
