Vast Italian market Eataly set to open in the heart of the City
The Square Mile will soon be home to vast Italian market Eataly, which has already seen success in cities including New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Broadgate Market, London’s largest pedestrianised neighbourhood, will host the 42,000 sq ft venture, which will include take-away, retail, and terrace dining.
Eataly is slated to open on 29 April, providing workers returning to the office with fine Italian cheeses, antipasti, coffee, cocktails and a wide range of Italian dishes.
The market will offer more than 5,000 food products, sourced from Italy or locally, with highlights including butchers, fishmongers, bakers, cured meat and gelato counters, cheesemongers and wine merchants.

London’s love of food halls is set for a shot in the arm, as the Italian colossus Eataly has confirmed it will initially open next to Liverpool Street on the morning of April 29, followed by a full launch from May 20.
The 42,000 square foot site is billed as the “UK s largest Italian food emporium” and promises a celebration of the country’s best food and drink, with a butcher, fishmonger, cured meat counter, bakery and “cheese laboratory” all inside. In total, more than 5,000 Italian food and drink products will be available, and the opening will include London’s largest Italian wine cellar, with more than 2,000 bottles available. No surprise a coffee bar will also feature.
