Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich and company will be opening a Southern California branch of Eataly, their popular Italian food court/grocery store, at the Westfield Century City shopping mall in early 2017.
After months of rumors, in an email Tuesday morning Batali confirmed that the deal had been signed: “It is official. We are opening in Westfield Century City.
This is the third Eataly in the United States, after New York City and Chicago. Details are still being worked out, but Batali’s office confirmed that the store would be roughly the same size as the other two — about 50,000 square feet — but that it would also have extensive outdoor and rooftop seating.
