Eataly, the renowned Italian food market and dining concept, is celebrating its 18th anniversary and marking a major milestone in its global expansion. Known for offering an authentic Italian culinary experience, Eataly has opened new locations at major U.S. airports, bringing its iconic offerings to international travelers.

This expansion signifies a strategic move to introduce high-quality Italian food to a wider audience, even beyond the traditional brick-and-mortar locations. The new airport locations are part of a broader effort to increase the accessibility of Eataly’s renowned food products and dining experiences.

The company has successfully integrated its unique concept into some of the busiest U.S. airports, creating a space where travelers can enjoy fresh Italian cuisine, purchase gourmet products, or simply take a taste of Italy with them. The first of these airport locations opened at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), followed by others at major hubs like Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), and Miami International Airport (MIA).

Eataly’s airports outlets offer a curated selection of Italian products, from freshly made pasta and high-quality cheeses to unique coffee blends and artisanal chocolates. These locations bring the Eataly philosophy of combining retail, food, and dining under one roof, all designed to offer travelers an authentic taste of Italy. The expansion into airports is an innovative way to make premium Italian food more accessible to the global traveler, allowing them to take a piece of Italy with them on their journey.
