Eataly: Silicon Valley “Must Do”

Recently, we had the pleasure of going to Eataly located at Valley Fair Mall in Silicon Valley. It is an easy drive not far from our home in Danville. This location opened in June of 2022.

This is a “foodie paradise” with 3 floors of Italian foods, 5 restaurants and a wine floor that will satisfy any palate.  

The Eataly format resembles a foodie-fantasy of an Italian village, complete with restaurants, cafés, and market stalls. Give yourself a couple of hours to explore this special Italian food experience. 

We especially enjoyed the cannelloni and took some home with us along with fresh pizzas, cheeses, cannoli’s, ravioli’s and a bottle of Blood Orange Mimosa.

We had lunch at La Pizza and La Pasta enjoying raviolis and great drinks. I enjoyed the Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA and an Aperol Spritz made with Aperol, Prosecco, Soda Water and Orange. 

The most unique part of the lunch was the dessert. I ordered the 

cannoli‘s which were presented on a platter-make it yourself style. A tube of cream and all the toppings came out on a board. (See picture below) Needless to say it was a very fun dessert experience as we filled our shells with cream and topped it with pistachios, chocolate chips and nuts

Eataly is the creation of Oscar Ferranetti. In just six years, this son of a Piedmont pasta maker has built an epicurean empire. From its base in Turin, Eataly has expanded across Italy to New York and Tokyo, with 20 locations opened and 17 more on the drawing board. 

Eataly is open 7 days a week and a ‘must do’ to add to your bucket list. We look forward to returning soon.
