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. West Palm Beach has been announced as the second location in Florida.

“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.
Guests can expect the finest culinary and beverage offerings, carefully curated from various regions across Italy, along with exceptional Italian hospitality and attentive service.
