Do you dream of gelato? Does fresh mozzarella and prosciutto sound like an amazing appetizer? Have you dreamt of walking the beautiful streets of Italy, exploring beautiful vistas and eating marvelous food as you go along? Well, now Boston is giving it's visitors the chance to escape to an Italian haven; welcome to Eataly, Boston!

Eataly, Boston is the newest location to this wonderful Italian market. When you walk in, you are quickly enveloped in the wonderful smells of fresh food. Eataly offers different markets, from a fresh panetteria, bakery, to the mouth watering macelleria, butcher shop. Along with all of these different options, this mall-like plaza offers a wine shop, many restaurants, a grocery store, and even classrooms to take Italian cooking classes in! It also has my favorite stop, which I frequent often, the gelateria. Nothing beats a nice cone of Italian gelato!

This month, Eataly is celebrating it's ten year anniversary; a huge milestone for this growing company! On January 27, 2007, Oscar Farinetti opened the first Eataly in Torino, Italy, and it is safe to say that the business took off! Now, Eataly has over 30 different locations, worldwide, and are still growing!

The first time I walked into Eataly, I was instantly overwhelmed with emotion. I had spent five weeks of last summer living and studying all over Italy, based out of Perugia. Every single day, I miss this experience. When I step into Eataly, I am instantly brought back into the warm, welcoming and delicious atmosphere of my favorite place in the world.

Eataly, Boston welcomes you! Benvenuto!
