Is your preferred pasta dish ‘as much as possible’? Then we’ve got good news!

Italian cuisine giants and “bigger is better” advocates Eataly are confirmed to be opening their first UK location right here in London, sometime in 2020. Founded in Italy, the chain has swept the States with stores in New York, LA and Chicago, while also expanding worldwide with halls in Moscow, Tokyo, and Munich. It’s a wonder it’s taken them so long to get to London, actually… [Header photo: Eataly in Munich.]

We’re talking pasta, cured meats, fabulous cheeses, olive oils, sauces, plus panettone, coffee, ciabatta, ravioli, gelato – and everything else you might need to cook up a tempesta at home.

You can also expect a pretty serious wine collection.

For those of you who are kitchen-averse, worry not – you’ll be able to take cooking classes in their kitchen workshops, and you can also expect a bar and restaurant serving up light, fresh meals from the in-store ingredients.

The London outpost is set to be some 42,000 square feet and will be situated on Broadgate, a stone’s throw away from Liverpool Street station. That’s room for a lot of pasta (but still probably not enough for us, TBH)! An exact opening date is still proving elusive, but Eataly are gunning hard for a 2020 opening date – so you’ll be stuffing your face before you know it!
