Eataly Italian marketplace sets opening date in Aventura
One of the most anticipated dining experiences of 2025 finally has an opening date.
Eataly, the international Italian marketplace, will open at the Aventura Mall at 3 p.m. June 12.
Created by Oscar Farinetti in 2007 in Torino, Italy, the 30,000-square-foot space at the mall will include two sit-down restaurants, a cafè with several quick service counters, a retail section, a wine store and a cooking school.
Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America, told the Miami Herald last year that Eataly, which has 14 locations in North America and more than 50 worldwide, aims to 'replicate what Italy is today. '
'So when you come to visit Eataly, you're supposed to have the same experience that you have when you go to Italy physically, without the flying or packing your luggage,' he said. 'We are an ambassador for the Italian lifestyle.'
After its opening, Eataly Aventura will host 10 days of free programming for shoppers, including producer showcases, hands-on workshops and classes, wine tastings and more.
The brand plans to open a second South Florida Eataly location at CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach later this year.
Where to eat
La Pizza & La Pasta, which has almost 300 seats, features a menu highlighting two of Italy's best exports. The pizza is Neapolitan-style, while the pasta dishes focus on regional recipes made with artisanal pasta.
The second sit-down restaurant is Il Pastaio (meaning 'pasta maker'), where you can also order fresh pasta as well as watch chefs create different shapes and variations daily. This spot seats almost 90 near the live production space.
You can also grab a quick bite or coffee at one of the several to-go counters at Eataly. Here's what you can get at each:
Lavazza: Coffee drinks
La Pasticceria: A pastry counter with cakes, croissants and baked goods
Il Gelato: Gelato and sorbetto
Pizza alla Pala: Roman-style pizza
Panini: Sandwiches on focaccia, panini and farcita
Where to shop
The Market will feature a variety of Italian staples: extra virgin olive oils, canned tomatoes, sauces, pastas, sweets, salumi and formaggi, panettoni and gift boxes. There are also produce, meats and grab-and-go meals for sale.
The wine shop highlights Italian wines from 20 different regions, with a temperature-controlled Riserva room housing rare wines and spirits.

1,600-Year-Old, Byzantine-Era Mosaic Finally Revealed to Public
An intricate mosaic dating back 1,600 years has been unveiled in Israel nearly 40 years after it was first discovered, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced. The Byzantine-era mosaic was originally excavated in 1990 in a town adjacent to the Gaza Strip. It's adorned with 55 medallions which create a mosaic of various hunting scenes, fruits, animals, and mythological figures. For 35 years the mosaic was buried underneath protective soil to prevent any deterioration. But recently, the IAA and the country's Ministry of Heritage conserved and relocated the ancient artwork through the Antiquities Right at Home initiative, which brings ancient relics to communities across the country."This is a unique mosaic from the Byzantine period," said Shaike Lender, the excavation's co-leader. "The level of artistic detail-created from thousands of colored tesserae, pottery, and glass-is simply extraordinary.' Ami Shahar, the head of the IAA's conservation program, praised the restorationist's work. "Years of exposure had taken a toll on the mosaic's integrity, prompting urgent intervention,' he said. 'Now, housed within an enclosed space, it can finally be appreciated in its full splendor.' The mosaic was originally installed in a Byzantine monastery complex which also served as a winery. Discovered alongside the artwork were a winepress, warehouses, and ceramic storage jars, indicating a flourishing local economy. The complex was situated on the Nabataean-Roman spice route, which connected Halutza to the port of Gaza. "This settlement likely served as a haven for travelers on the edge of the desert, providing safety and sustenance," the IAA explained in its statement. "Its placement suggests it may have been a frontier outpost against potential raids.' The mosaic is now open to the public, located in a space which features seating areas in addition to an archaeological garden. "This magnificent mosaic is a living testimony to life in the Negev 1,600 years ago," Hajaj said. "It connects our past to our present and future. We envision it becoming a focal point for education and tourism.' IAA Director Eli Escusido added: "Especially in this region bordering Gaza, making history accessible enhances community identity and brings visitors to areas often overlooked.'1,600-Year-Old, Byzantine-Era Mosaic Finally Revealed to Public first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 8, 2025

Italy's ‘Ultra Fast' Hyperloop Train Reaches Major Milestone
One of Italy's most ambitious transportation projects is set to begin testing after passing its feasibility study. The Hyper Transfer hyperloop project, on which research first began in 2013, will commence construction work on a test track in Veneto, spanning 10 kilometers (about six miles) between Padua and Venice. The hyperloop project is designed to transport passengers and cargo at record speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour, thanks to the use of magnetic levitation through vacuums. The vacuum means there is no air resistance on the front of the vehicle, allowing transport tubes to move at very high speeds. The technology has been tested in various parts of the world, including India, but the construction of a test site in Italy would be a major breakthrough for the concept in Europe. The hyperloop project has completed its feasibility study phase, with Luca Zaia, the president of the Veneto region, announcing that the test track would be built in his area. Zaia told the Transportation Logistics Fair in Munich this week: "It is not a futuristic vision but a concrete project born in Veneto...A revolutionary technology, strongly desired by the Veneto Region, which is now entering its operational phase." A consortium of four companies is managing the project: HyperloopTT, a Los Angeles-based technology provider and designer; Webuild, Italy's largest engineering contractor; Leonardo, a multinational aerospace and defense monitor; and Hyperloop Italia, the body that licenses the infrastructure. The test track will occupy a 10-kilometer stretch of land. It will be designed to carry both passengers and cargo, allowing the loop's safety systems and energy management technology to be properly tested. HyperloopTT CEO Andrés de Leónsaid in a statement to Newsweek: "This is the moment HyperloopTT has been working towards since 2013. We thank the Italian government, the Veneto region, and CAV for their vision and commitment to sustainable innovation. "We've partnered with some of the best engineering and transportation companies in the world, all with deep roots in the region. We look forward to bringing this first of many hyperloop systems to the world." HyperloopTT COO Andrea La Mendola said: "Italy has always been a cradle of creativity, innovation, and progress, from the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance to the engineering prowess behind their high-speed trains. Today, we stand at the dawn of a new era, poised to redefine mobility once again with the 'Hyper Transfer' project. "This hyperloop system is not just about connecting Venice and Padua in record time; it is a testament to Italy's unwavering spirit of innovation and their commitment to sustainable and efficient transport." The testing process is expected to take several years, although engineers hope that parts of the infrastructure will be operational by 2030.
