KING OF PRUSSIA — Eataly, the global Italian marketplace and retail concept, will open its first store in Pennsylvania at King of Prussia Mall with a ribbon cutting at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2.
Eataly has 16 North American locations and over 60 stores worldwide.
Eataly stands as a distinctive brand with a high commitment to elevating the global presence of Italian food and wine excellence.
Engaged in the distribution and promotion of premium-quality products, Eataly integrates production, sales, catering, and educational components in its offerings.
Distinguished as the sole genuinely international Italian food retail company, Eataly serves as an emblem of Italian culinary artistry and, more broadly, the essence of Made in Italy.
“Our mission at Eataly is to showcase the Italian art of living through unparalleled experiences, transporting guests to Italy through our unique mix of retail and dining,” said Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America. “Together with the team at Simon Property Group, we are thrilled to open our first location in Pennsylvania at King of Prussia, the premier shopping destination for the Greater Philadelphia area and one of the top centers in the country.”

The 21,000-plus-square-foot space will feature one sit-down restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, several quick service counters for a bite on-the-go, a retail selection featuring imported Italian goods alongside Eataly housemade items, and a wine store with labels from the North to the South of Italy.
“King of Prussia has long been a destination for the very best in the region for retail, and the addition of Eataly, further strengthens our position as a culinary hub,” said Jonathan Murphy, co-president of North American Real Estate at Simon Property Group. “We are incredibly proud to be home to Eataly’s first-ever location in Pennsylvania. We know that Eataly’s dedication to quality and tradition will resonate with our community, and the whole Philadelphia region, and we are thrilled to bring a taste of Italy to King of Prussia.”

With over 200 seats across the restaurant and bar, La Pizza & La Pasta is Eataly’s signature dining concept in North America.
Dedicated to two iconic Italian dishes, Neapolitan-style pizza and artisanal pasta, guests can discover a curation of regionally-focused cuisine, including beloved favorites like Burrata alla Caprese, Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, Tiramisù and more.
The beverage menu highlights classic Italian cocktails, zero-proof picks, and a robust wine list.
