While all Eataly locations implement the "Eat. Shop.
Learn." philosophy, which encourages guests to: Eat
sustainably sourced fare with quality ingredients; Shop the
best Italian and local products available; and feel empowered to
Learn about Italian culture and cuisines; each store
maintains a unique identity.
Eataly Las Vegas will introduce several new experiences, most
notably Cucina del Mercato, or "Kitchen of the Market," an
open, counter-to-table space that will shatter the barrier between
restaurants and the store – a first for an Eataly in the United States. The venue will consist of
six different fresh counters where guests can eat what they shop,
and shop what they eat. Experiences will include:
- La Macelleria: Butcher & Kitchen: La Macelleria will
allow guests to choose any cut of sustainably sourced meat from the
case and watch the chefs prepare it right before their eyes, or
they may bring the protein home to cook. Guests will have the
option to order from the chef's selection of small plates and
grilled specialties, or house-made sausages and traditional
dry-aged beef. A small selection of Italian wines and beers will be
available to pair with each cut.
- La Salumeria: Cheesemonger & Kitchen: It wouldn't be
an Eataly without salumi and formaggi, which is
sourced from Italy and
the United States. Guests can
enjoy a selection of meat and cheese boards curated by Eataly's
cheesemongers, or create their own from a variety of options.
- La Pizzeria: Roman Handcrafted Pizza alla Pala: Here, guests can pick up pizza alla
pala, a favorite street food from Rome. This type of pizza is made with a dense,
long-rising dough, stretched on a wooden paddle and then topped
with seasonal ingredients.
- La Pescheria: Fishmonger & Kitchen: La Pescheria
will feature a seasonal selection of fish from fishermen and
distributors who adhere to sustainable fishing methods. In addition
to the fishmonger's selection of small plates and seafood pasta,
the venue will provide guests the option to select daily catches
and watch chefs cook the specialty item just steps away in an open
kitchen, or allow them to bring the delicacy home to prepare. La
Pescheria also will carry a daily selection of seasonal oysters, as
well as pesce crudo - Italian ceviche – served with extra
virgin olive oil and sea salt.
- Italian Street Food: Il Fritto, La Rosticceria, and
Mozzarella Bar: Serving up typical street food specialties from
Italy, the Italian Street Food
counter will be divided into three distinct areas: Il
Fritto, offering lightly fried bites like arancini and fried
seafood; La Rosticceria, serving rotisserie roast chickens,
seasonal vegetables, and panini; and Mozzarella Bar,
offering house-made mozzarella favorites.
- La Pasta Fresca: Market & Kitchen: At this fresh
pasta counter, guests can watch the pastai (pasta makers)
knead, roll, cut, and form intricate shapes by hand. Each pasta
type is inspired by the traditions of a different Italian region,
and will be paired with traditional sauces made from fresh,
seasonal ingredients. Seasonally, guests can order fresh black and
white truffles by the gram.
Eataly Las Vegas also will feature a robust bar program, with
three new venues that showcase iconic Italian cocktails and
spirits, as well as one of the largest selections of Italian wines
in the U.S.:
- Gran Caffè Milano – Gran Caffè Milano will be an upscale, full-service
Italian bar inspired by the elegant cafes of Milano. This high-end, yet approachable bar
will offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between.
Gran Caffè Milano is an ode to the
Italian appreciation of fine art, with its beautiful, yet
functional Italian design, including a replica of the famous bull
mosaic in Milano. Casino-goers
take note: this iconic symbol brings good luck to those who place
one foot on the mosaic and spin three times.
- L'Aperitivo – Located at the main entrance of the
store, L'Aperitivo is the recommended first stop at Eataly Las
Vegas. The bar will offer a quintessential Italian cocktail
experience, featuring a selection of Italy's most iconic concoctions. From the
ever-popular Venetian Aperol Spritz to the classic Negroni and all
its variations, each cocktail will be carefully crafted with
Italy's finest spirits and
ingredients.
- L'Enoteca – L'Enoteca is Eataly's premier bar and
will feature a wide selection of regional Italian wines by the
glass or bottle, craft cocktails, and Amari (Italian bitters).
Inspired by Italy's many
enoteche (wine bar), this bar will showcase a library of
more than 80 Italian regional wines by the bottle, all located
between Park MGM's casino entrance and the Cucina del Mercato
concept.
Guests also can enjoy two tried and true classic restaurants
from Eataly in Las Vegas:
Manzo, which will open Jan.
23, and La Pizza e La Pasta; or select take-away
options from Pizza Alla Pala By the Slice and La Pasticceria
(pastry shop), enjoy a coffee from Caffé Lavazza, or try sweet
temptations from Il Gelato, I Cannoli, Nutella for Eataly, or Il
Cioccolato Venchi. Eataly Las Vegas also will offer a marketplace
and gift shop, where locals and visitors can take home pastas,
grains, sauces and more imported from Italy, and giftable items such as
Eataly-branded apparel, housewares, and keepsakes.
Education, another key pillar in Eataly's philosophy across all
locations, will remain a crucial element of the Las Vegas store. Guests will be able to watch
experts in various departments make fresh pasta, bread, gelato,
mozzarella and more. The location also will feature an interactive
experience with Chef's Table, which welcomes guests of all
ages and encourages people to explore their senses and the world of
high-quality food through live culinary demonstrations. Guests
seated at the table will learn a variety of authentic cooking
traditions ranging from how to shape gnocchi to understanding the
difference between Toscana and Sicilia extra virgin olive oil.
Guests may deepen their knowledge of Italian wine at Eataly Las
Vegas's wine shop and tasting table. The wine department will carry
more than 400 Italian wine labels, hailing from all 20 regions in
Italy, and will host complimentary
tastings daily. Inside the wine shop, guests can stop at a sampling
table called La Bottega del Vino, where they can enjoy
wine-by-the-glass selections poured through an enomatic wine
preservation system.
"We created Eataly Las Vegas with possibility in mind because
anything can happen in Las Vegas,"
said Nicola Farinetti, CEO of Eataly
USA. "With this store, we have
evolved our ideas for how to deliver authentic Italian cuisine, and
we are excited to join the destination with so many new venues and
concepts."
