Day 9: Eataly

If you haven't been to Italy and enjoyed authentic Italian food, Eataly besides Italian home cooking is 2nd best.

Eataly is essentially a grocery store with high quality Italian food. We were lucky enough to meet with the CEO and marking VP, both of which were very young.

Together they explained the business philosophy: Eat-Shop-Learn.
Eataly uses small suppliers who only provide high quality food.

They want to target all clients regardless of price point who want high quality food.

What I found most interesting was that at some locations they make no money. But believe it's important to provide high quality food and employ local and national suppliers.

The closest one in the states is NYC. I've been now to both NYC and Rome, and will be going back!
