WORLD’S LARGEST ITALIAN FOOD MARKET

HAS OPENED ITS DOORS IN LONDON

A 42,000sq ft haven of Italian food - the largest in the
world - finally opened its doors in London last month.
Originally due to open earlier in the year but thwarted
by the pandemic, Eataly - a fusion of the words EAT and
Italy has begun its phased launch.
Located in the largely pedestrianised City
neighbourhood of Broadgate, next to Liverpool Street
station, Eataly London has begun the opening of the
market and retail area, take-away eateries and brand-
new alfresco dining concept, La Terrazza di Eataly. La
Terrazza will offer an exclusive Italian menu of sharing
dishes and host an Aperol Spritzeria, offering cocktails,
wine, beer and a touch of la dolce vita to the city.
Founded in Italy in 2007, Eataly was born from
investor Oscar Farinetti’s idea to gather high-quality
food at sustainable and reasonable prices, celebrate
Italian biodiversity, and create an informal place to eat,
shop and learn all under one roof. It will also be home
to London’s biggest Italian wine cellar.
