Eataly now has a second Dubai location

Italian food emporium Eataly on Sunday opened its second outlet in the UAE, at Dubai’s Festival Centre mall. It comes two years after a busy first two years for the brand’s site in the Dubai Mall. In case you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a bustling mix of cafe and food hall, where you can buy fresh pasta and top Italian ingredients to take home, or sit down and let the chefs do all the hard work. The Festival Centre Eataly has eight culinary stations — including meat, seafood, pasta, pizza and “gastronomia” counter; pasta, bread and mozzarella are made fresh in store. There’s also a Venchi Gelato, with 10 flavours including Cremino, Giandujotto and Azteco. Check it out overlooking the Waterfront Promenade on the first floor.
