Since its inception, Eataly has gained popularity for providing a unique culinary experience centered around the concept of "eat, shop, and learn under one roof."
On June 12, 2025, the popular Italian marketplace celebrated the opening of its first Florida location at Aventura Mall in Miami. West Palm Beach has been announced as the second location in Florida.
The new Miami venue offers visitors a large selection of fresh ingredients and ‘Made In Italy’ products, that showcase Italy's rich gastronomic heritage.

Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America said, “Our mission with Eataly Aventura is to transport guests to Italy without ever having to leave Miami-Dade County. We are very much looking forward to bringing Eataly’s one-of-a-kind experience to this community.”
This innovative approach offers visitors an immersive experience, allowing them to enjoy high-quality Italian food, purchase authentic ingredients, and participate in cooking classes and workshops. This creates an exciting and engaging atmosphere for food enthusiasts.
“Eataly aims to transport guests with its philosophy of “eat, shop, and learn” – championing the Italian art of living through its unique mix of restaurants, retail, and education. Designed as a truly authentic experience, Eataly Aventura has two sit-down restaurants (La Pizza & La Pasta and Il Pastaio), several quick service counters, a robust retail selection, a wine shop, and a dedicated cooking school,” according to Eataly.
The new location covers 30,000 square feet and is carefully designed to highlight the rich flavors and beloved traditions of Italian cuisine. It features a lively food scene, an extensive selection of wines, a variety of desserts, specialty Italian food products, and culinary classes. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore Italy's culinary heritage and culture.
Eataly’s Story
“In November 2002, the Eataly concept was born from Oscar Farinetti’s idea sketched on a piece of paper. The idea was simple: to gather under one roof high-quality food at sustainable and reasonable prices for ALL, celebrate Italian biodiversity, and create an informal, natural, and simple place to eat, shop, and learn.
The first Eataly opened its doors in Torino on January 27, 2007, when an old vermouth factory was transformed into Eataly Torino Lingotto – the very first multifunctional marketplace dedicated to Italian excellence in the world.
The rest is history! Since then, Eataly has expanded, with more than 40 locations throughout Italy and the world.”- source Eataly.
