Think IKEA crossed with Whole Foods — on three levels with nine eating areas — featuring Italian and Piemontese foods, beverages, and kitchen-related products. Open since 2007, Eataly is aligned with the Slow Food movement, a nonprofit organization founded in the 1980s that has more than 100,000 members in 132 countries.
