Eataly, the global Italian marketplace and retail concept, is thrilled to introduce the third iteration of its Icons of Eataly series, a program which began in 2023 and honours the most iconic Italian dishes and ingredients.
Until August 25, Icons of Eataly: Capri Edition will take over all three stores in Toronto, taking inspiration from the beloved Italian island and transporting guests to the Amalfi Coast just in time for summer.
Located in the region of Campania, Capri sits in the Bay of Naples on the Tyrrhenian Sea and is known as much for its crystal blue waters, rocky cliffs, fresh seafood, and lemon groves as for its luxurious villas, the earliest dating back to ancient Roman times.
For hundreds of years, visitors have flocked to the vacation destination not only for its incredible views, but incredible food too – such as the namesake Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil, Spaghetti alla Nerano, a simple pasta of fried zucchini and cheese, or a tart yet sweet limoncello to end the meal.
Icons of Eataly: Capri Edition aims to replicate the feeling of this magical place to Eataly customers, providing a respite from the day-to-day with a special menu of traditional dishes, hands-on classes and workshops, and more.
THE ICONS OF EATALY: CAPRI EDITION
The Icons of Eataly: Capri Edition menu will include regional pasta dishes with ingredients evocative of the southern Italian coastline, a selection of pizza Napoletana by Rossopomodoro, and tableside experiences including a “Caprese Bar” cart with Eataly housemade mozzarella.
