Looking for the perfect Valentine's Day ideas this year? Whether you’re cooking at home or planning a romantic evening at one of our restaurants, you’re bound to encounter many love stories along the way that may even become a part of your own. Find the perfect match with our creative Eataly gift guide: from high-quality ingredients to fine Italian wines and housemade pastries, our marketplace has everything you need to enjoy this special day.
1. DINNER FOR TWO
There's no better way to someone's heart than through their stomach. Plus, as Italians, we can't think of any other way to express our love when through our love of food!
Seize the day to cook up a special dinner at home: pick up a few
simple but high-quality ingredients from our market, from delicate fresh pasta, sustainably-sourced seafood to savoury grilled steak.
Pro tip: Don't forget a
bouquet of fresh flowers on your way out! You can find them in our product department.
2. SUSTAINABLE CAVIAR
Love caviar but worried about how it's sourced? Commit long-term and show your partner you how much you care by buying from one of the most sustainable, high-quality caviar farms in the world. Calvisius is
a fully-integrated Italian caviar farm that produces nearly 25 tons of eggs per year from endangered sturgeons using sustainable methods that save the fish — and deepen the flavour.
How should you enjoy it? We've got plenty of ideas, but according to one Calvisius expert, all you need are "two Mother of Pearl spoons and a glass of sparkling wine." Ready to dive in? Bring home a tin during
Caviar Day at Eataly with 30% off!
3. ARTISANAL ITALIAN CHOCOLATE
Give the gift of artisanal
cioccolati italiani with festive
boxes of chocolate by Venchi, Caffarel, and Perugina. Made by artisanal chocolatiers in Italy, our chocolates are a love story all their own.
Take Silvano Venchi: in the mid-1800s a
t just 16, he began his career as a confectioner’s assistant, and after four years, saved enough to buy two bronze cooking pots, the tools of the chocolate trade. With just those two pots and passion for chocolate, he created his own gianduja (chocolate-hazelnut spread) and crunchy bars using regional recipes and only the finest ingredients. When you give a box of fine Italian chocolates, you're giving a food love story that spans over 100 years!
4. LOCAL ARTISANAL BEER
Beer can help with those complex feelings too. Switch it up this Valentine's Day with a visit to Birroteca by Indie Ale House, located on our concourse level, for
locally-brewed craft beers inspired by our market ingredients.
5. HOUSEMADE ITALIAN PASTRIES
Made with the finest ingredients from Italy like pistachios from Sicilia and hazelnuts from Piemonte, our pastry team's intricate works of art include
heart-shaped pastries, full cakes, special filled-to-order cannoli. Swing by our pastry counter to pick out your favorites!
