Book Your Flights -The Disneyland of Food is Set to Open in Italy

If the cold weather has you dreaming of summer holidays already, you need to put a trip to Bologna right at the top of your list. The birthplace of spaghetti bolognese is now set become the home of what sounds like the happiest place on Earth – Eataly World.

Eataly World
will take the concept of Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich’s dream-like Italian gourmet food store, which has branches dotted across the globe from New York to Dubai, to another level. Teaming up with the Italian Farming Factory FICA (Fabbrica Italiana Contadina), Eataly World will be a unique and expansive amusement park for Italian food lovers. Set on 25 acres, this Disney Land of food will be the size of a small town, with 25 restaurants on site. From street food style stalls to themed Italian eateries, the restaurants are just the tip of the iceberg.

Visitors can expect to wander greedily around 10,000 square metres of market stalls with the finest artisan producers showcasing their delicious wares, but Eataly also offers food for the hungry mind. With 10 training classrooms focusing on explaining the farm to fork process and agri-food chains, a fulling function 10,000 square metre farm with demo fields and workshops held by master craftsmen of fine Italian food, education is most definitely on the menu at Eataly World.
