Despite losing it most famous figurehead, Eataly is still officially confirmed for the remodeled Monte Carlo resort late next year, confident it will survive without its biggest star and most energetic promoter.

A partner in the U.S. chain of elaborate Italian marketplaces, Mario Batali has stepped away from the day-to-day operations of all of his businesses following a string of allegations of sexual misconduct. Eataly responded quickly by removing all online products tied to his name, including spaghetti, sauces, rolling pins and cookbooks.
