It's been confirmed that Toronto's first ever location of Italian market chain Eataly is definitely coming to the Manulife Centre in late 2019.

The news came via a post on the Manulife Centre website that also happened to announce a number of other retailers planning to open in the revamped building at Bay and Bloor.

Other confirmed shops opening this year include a relocated Over the Rainbow, a Birks (with a VanCleef & Arpels boutique), a Shoppers Drug Mart and another location of Pilot Coffee.

Eataly currently has locations all over the world including Dubai, Japan and the United States.

Carb-loving Torontonians can expect a 50,000 square foot Eataly stocked with pasta and pizza, not to mention cheeses and meats. All Eataly locations include built-in restaurants too.

This Toronto location will be partially operated by the people behind local favourite Terroni.
