A wave of Italian culinary delight is about to wash over Toronto. A new Eataly, a vibrant celebration of Italian food and culture, is preparing to open its doors within the iconic CF Eaton Centre on November 25th – perfectly timed for the bustling holiday season.
This isn’t just another store opening; it’s a deepening of a love affair. Eataly first arrived in Canada in 2019, and this fourth Toronto location signifies a growing connection with the city’s passionate food community.
Spanning 25,000 square feet across two levels, the new Eataly promises an immersive experience. Imagine wandering through a marketplace brimming with the aromas of Italy, discovering both everyday staples and luxurious treats.
Two distinct restaurants will anchor the experience. La Pizza & La Pasta, with seating for 190, will showcase the artistry of Neapolitan pizza and handcrafted pasta. For a more intimate setting, La Piazza, a 50-seat bar and restaurant, will offer a curated selection of Italian wines and innovative cocktails – even a smoked Earl Grey Vodka Martini.
The heart of Eataly lies in its market, a treasure trove of hundreds of authentic Italian products. From essential pantry items to decadent indulgences, every corner will reveal a new culinary temptation.
Prepare to be captivated by the array of counters. Il Gran Caffe will serve expertly brewed Illy espresso, while La Pasticceria will tempt with flaky croissants and delicate pastries. Cool down with artisanal gelato and sorbetto at Il Gelato, or savor Roman-style pizza at Pizza alla Pala.
This expansion represents a continued partnership between Eataly and Cadillac Fairview, building on the success of existing locations at Yorkville, Sherway Gardens, and the CF Shops at Don Mills. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of authentic Italian flavors and the vibrant energy of Toronto’s culinary scene.
