Eataly opens in Aventura this week. Here's what the Italian marketplace looks like
The question you must ask yourself when you visit at the new Eataly at the Aventura Mall isn't where to start. It's where to stop. Will a basket suffice? Or do you need a cart? The aisles are filled with so many Italian delights to take home that it's hard to say. Pistachio spread. Calabrian hot chili peppers. Pesto potato chips. Meat and cheeses. Italian cookies and candies. Olives and oils and Italian wines of every hue. There's yellow cherry tomato sauce. Fresh produce and bread. To-go salads topped with piquant salamis, tiramisu perfectly portioned for four or more (you can pretend to your dinner guests that you made it). And pasta. So much pasta, boxed, dried and fresh, every shape, every size, a wild riot of dazzling carbohydrate color. The global Italian marketplace and retail shop opens its doors to the public at 3 p.m. June 12 with all the aforementioned items and more, two full-service restaurants and a private dining room available for rental. La Pizza & La Pasta sits on one side of the 30,000-square-foot space, behind the produce section, while Il Pastaio Di Eataly is strategically located in the heart of the market. It's got tables for groups of more than two, but there's also a long counter where you can watch pasta being made as you sip your favorite Barolo. You can reserve seats at either restaurant, although Eataly will leave a few tables open for walk ins. This is a mall, after all. If you're not in the mood for a full sitdown meal, order a smaller snack at one of the grab-and-go counters, which serve gorgeous pizzas, gelato, coffee drinks or pastries and baked goods. There are seats near the counters if you don't want to venture far, or you can sit outside the marketplace in the mall, at tables illuminated by a skylight and blessedly air-conditioned (al fresco dining being vastly overrated commodity in South Florida). The wine shop features Italian wine, naturally, from every region, with a special 'Riserva' room for high-end wines you won't find elsewhere in South Florida. Eataly is located near Nordstrom on the third floor. You can park in the parking lot on the south side of the mall near the Esplanade at Aventura and enter through the ground floor. You'll pass the small area that will be home to cooking classes and ride up the long escalator straight into the wine department (call it a stairway to heaven). You can also access the market via an escalator on the second floor near Nordstrom or come straight in from the third floor of the Nordstrom garage. Once it's open, the marketplace will be hosting 10 days of free programming starting June 13, with wine tastings and producer demonstrations and more. Created by Oscar Farinetti in 2007 in Torino, Italy, in an abandoned vermouth factory, Eataly first came to the United States in 2010 — in New York, of course — and now has more than 40 locations around the globe. This is the first Florida location but not the last: Eataly West Palm Beach is due to open sometime in the fall. Eataly Aventura Where: Aventura Mall, 19501 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura Opening: 3 p.m. June 12 Hours: 8:30 am - 10 pm Sunday–Thursday; 8:30 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday and Saturday Full schedule of free programming: Reservations for La Pizza and Pasta and Il Pastaio Di Eataly: OpenTable More information:

Eataly is finally coming to Miami with new Aventura Mall location
After quite a long wait— Time Out Miami first reported on the news back in 2022 —Eataly is finally coming to the Sunshine State. Yes, the NYC-born Italian food emporium, which has more than 50 global locations spread across the United States, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Turkey, South Korea and more, is opening its first location in Florida at Miami's Aventura Mall in spring 2025. On Thursday, June 12 at 3pm, Eataly will debut a two-level store at the luxury shopping mall, on the Third Level near Nordstrom. As at other Eataly outposts, the Miami edition will celebrate Italian culture through markets, counters, cafés, restaurants, and educational offerings "that explore the best food and beverage options Italy's 20 regions and the world has to offer," per the brand. As one of the premier shopping destinations in the country, we couldn't be more thrilled to partner with Aventura Mall and the team at Turnberry on our first location in the state of Florida,' said Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America. 'Our mission with Eataly Aventura is to transport guests to Italy without ever having to leave Miami-Dade County, and we are very much looking forward to bringing Eataly's one-of-a-kind experience to the community here.' The 30,000-square-foot space will feature two sit-down restaurants, a caffè with several quick-service counters, a retail section with house-made and made-in-Italy products, a wine store with a dedicated Riserva room, and a cooking school. As for the restos, diners will find La Pizza & La Pasta—a 300-seat concept specializing in Neapolitan-style pizza and artisanal pasta, naturally—and Il Pastaio, a 90-seat outlet dedicated to the art of fresh pasta. The quick-service counters will include La Pasticceria (a pastry depot with cakes, croissants and other baked goods), Panini (a counter dedicated to focaccia, panini and farcita) and Il Gelato, scooping freshly churned gelato and sorbetto creations. And the marketplace will be a home cook's haven, selling everything from pantry staples such as extra virgin olive oils, canned tomatoes, sauces, and bronze-extruded pastas to sweets, a diversity of salumi and formaggi, and special-occasion picks like gift boxes, caviar, and panettoni. Alongside the hundreds of Italian imports, customers can also find high-quality produce, meats, and grab-and-go meals from the made-in-Eataly line. Served from counter to restaurant, a selection of house-made fresh pasta (produced onsite daily) is available for cooking at-home. There's also a wine shop that focuses exclusively on Italian wines. Following opening day on June 12, Eataly at Aventura Mall will host 10 days of free, open-to-the-public programming in celebration of the new store, including producer showcases, hands-on tiramisu-making workshops, complimentary wine tastings, and more. You can check out the full schedule of events here.
