Eataly

Southern Rome


Be prepared for some serious taste-bud titillation in this flash food emporium of gargantuan proportions built in the former terminal for airport buses. Four shop floors showcase every conceivable Italian food product (dried and fresh), while multiple themed food stalls and restaurants offer plenty of opportunity to taste or feast on Italian cuisine.

Graze on Italian street food at Scottadito, gorge yourself on chocolate at La Cioccolateria Venchi and indulge in the wood-fired flavours of Tuscany at Il Bosco Umbro. Sample Italian craft beers on tap in La Birreria (Beer Hall) or different coffee beans in the cafe. There are also cooking classes, demonstrations and wine tastings.
