Eataly, the Italian marketplace with nearly 50 global locations, opened its doors at CF Sherway Gardens on Thursday, November 2nd at 3 P.M. The second location in Toronto features two restaurants, five counters, a mozzarella lab as well a wide selection of housemade, Italian and Canadian products. Eataly also announced it will open a third Canadian location in 2024 at CF Shops at Don Mills.

“Eataly reflects the most authentic experience of Italian cuisine, and Toronto shares our passion for high quality food, drink, and experience. We knew when launching in Canada in 2019 that this would be an important market for us, and the last four years have continually reinforced this,” said Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America. “The store at Sherway Gardens is a special one: Toronto is one of the only two cities in North America where we have opened more than one location. At the same time, we know it’s just the beginning and we look forward to building our story in Canada next year and beyond.”

Eataly has continued its partnership in Canada with Wittington Investments as part of this expansion. The newest location follows the November 2019 opening of Eataly Yorkville, a flagship store at the corner of Bay and Bloor Streets. Eataly Sherway Gardens is located in the southeast corridor of the mall and spans 25,000 square feet.

“At Cadillac Fairview, nothing is more important than creating a dynamic retail mix complemented by compelling dining experiences, and our partnership with Eataly is a perfect reflection of what we strive to offer,” said Sal Iacono, EVP of Operations and incoming CEO at Cadillac Fairview. “We’re thrilled to welcome Eataly to CF Sherway Gardens, and next year at CF Shops at Don Mills, to bring la dolce vita to shoppers across Toronto.”
