Savor the Best Flavors of Italian Fall at Eataly’s Restaurant Fest

In true Italian fashion, the arrival of the fall harvest is cause for celebration. At Eataly Boston, that means new chef-crafted menus using the best ingredients the season has to offer. The best part? For two weeks in November, you can try them all, with two courses starting at just $18.

From Nov. 1 through Nov. 17, two-course lunch and dinner specials await foodies at Eataly’s Restaurant Fest, along with other exclusive offerings. During the two week festival, dishes featuring fall flavors like sweet squash, hearty meat ragù, and much more will be available in each of Eataly’s four premiere restaurants. At La Pizza & La Pasta and La Piazza, you can select two courses for only $18 per person, while at La Pescheria and Terra you can enjoy two courses for only $28 per person.

Diners can also elevate their experience with the ultimate culinary indulgence, fresh white truffles from Alba available only a few months of each year. The Italian delicacy will be available as a supplement at the three downstairs restaurants for $45/4g, and $60/5g at Terra. Don’t forget the vini! For an additional $25, guests can pair their meals with bottles of some of Italy’s best fall wines (think: bold reds and fresh whites) carefully curated by Eataly’s wine experts. The special offer includes the chance to enjoy a quartino of Barolo by Fontanafredda, regarded in Italy as the “king of wines.”

Planning to join the festivities? Here’s your sneak peek at the Italian classics and wood-fired fall selections available at Restaurant Fest. Explore the menus and make your reservation today so you don’t miss out on the Italian culinary celebration of the year!

La Pizza & La Pasta + La Piazza

Pizza and pasta are the pillars of Italian cuisine, and there’s no better way to enjoy them than steps away from where Eataly’s expert pasta chefs and dough slinging pizzaioli create the dishes right before your eyes. At La Pizza & La Pasta, the open kitchen lets diners in behind the scenes to see the classic Italian cooking techniques that make their dishes so delectable. Book your table here.

Friends and family can feel like they’re dining in a jovial Italian city square at La Piazza, a standing restaurant in the heart of the main Eataly floor. The fun is in sharing creative small plates of New England and Italy’s best salumi and formaggi while enjoying a refreshing beverage from the rotating selection of wine, cocktails, and beers.
