Italy is one of the most-visited European countries and an epicenter for culinary travel. Visitors from all over the world flock to Bel Paese for its natural beauty, rich history, warm and welcoming people—and its beloved regional foods and wines. 

However, with the confluence of airline flight cutbacks, escalating costs, and a reported surge in revenge travel, many passionate food lovers may not make it to Italy this summer and spring. To whet their appetite for future travel, Eataly, a unique emporium of Italian foods and products, will be launching a six-month project from May through November, to bring a taste of the authentic Italian table stateside.
