Eataly's future L.A. location has been confirmed: Westfield Century City. The New York-based market and restaurant offers high-end and authentic Italian food, wines, espresso and more. Eataly also functions as a school, so that customers can learn what to do with all those perfect meats and cheeses they can buy.
Eataly previously announced their intentions to move into the L.A. market last year and rumors circulated involving the Beverly Center as well as the intersection of San Vicente and Melrose.
Westfield Century City is getting a huge a $700 million renovation which involves doubling the parking lot and adding 70 new retail and restaurant tenants, Racked LA reports. Among them are high-end brands like Armani and Tom Ford, plus Eataly. The renovation is slated for completion come spring 2017.
