Eataly Opens New Outpost in NorthPark Center
Eataly, the authentic Italian marketplace, has opened its first Texas location in Northpark Center. The 46,000 square foot Italian food emporium consists of 10,000 local and Italian products, three restaurants, and one cooking school (which will be virtual to start) all inspired by the diversity of Italy’s regional cuisines.
Eataly Dallas will boast three restaurants: La Pizza & La Pasta and Il Pastaio on the main floor, and Terra on the third floor rooftop. La Pizza & La Pasta celebrates two Italian staples: authentic Neapolitan pizza and high-quality pasta from Gragnano, Campania. Il Pastaio offers housemade regional pasta dishes prepared fresh daily by our pastai, or pasta makers. Terra, the wood-burning grill rooftop restaurant inspired by earth and fire, features seasonal grilled dishes, an extensive wine list, and smoked cocktails. Reservation can be made using Open Table.
After tasting these regional Italian dishes, guests can discover the same ingredients used by Eataly’s chefs throughout the marketplace. Guests are encouraged to explore Eataly Dallas by shopping for authentic and high-quality Italian staples such as pastas, pizzas, meats, breads, oils, cheeses, sauces, wines, olives, dried mushrooms, crackers, teas, coffee, desserts, chocolates, imported canned goods, aprons, and rare spices available for purchase safely in-store or local delivery.
Teresa Gubbins at CultureMap said, “The layout is clever and intuitively designed. There's a "street entrance" from Boedeker Street, on the western-most side of NorthPark Center, that puts you into the market. The other entrance is through the mall. If you walk by from the mall, you see a gelato stand, coffee, and to-go foods; you might almost think Eataly is a gelato shop. Eataly Dallas is the first location in the company to organize this way by bringing together all take-away counters, providing the option for a quick lunch and a pit stop for mall workers on lunch break.”
Eataly Dallas is located in Northpark Center at 8687 N. Central Expy, Dallas, Texas.
