Eataly Is Coming to CityPlace—What It Means for WPB

The culinary scene in West Palm Beach is about to get a serious upgrade.

Eataly, the internationally renowned Italian marketplace and restaurant experience, has announced plans to open its newest location at the historic Harriet Himmel Theater in CityPlace. Slated to open in fall 2025, this expansion marks Eataly’s second Florida outpost following its Aventura Mall debut earlier in the year.

This isn’t just another trendy food hall. Eataly is a destination—one that blends high-end dining, artisanal goods, and cultural immersion all under one roof. The West Palm Beach location will include sit-down restaurants, quick-service counters, and a curated Italian market filled with imported pastas, cheeses, wines, and more.

Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America, called the move a “celebration of the Italian art of living,” and emphasized that CityPlace’s fusion of art, retail, and design made it the perfect home for Eataly’s signature experience.

For residents, investors, and business owners in the area, the implications go far beyond good food.

Why It Matters

When iconic brands like Eataly choose a neighborhood, it signals more than culinary cachet—it shows confidence in the local economy and lifestyle. Eataly’s arrival is part of a broader trend of high-end, culturally rich developments transforming West Palm Beach into a must-visit destination.

According to Gopal Rajegowda of Related Ross, bringing Eataly to the Harriet Himmel building is about honoring the location’s heritage while ushering in a vibrant new chapter for CityPlace. The project is expected to attract not only tourists but also boost foot traffic, property values, and local business activity.

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or commercial property owner, developments like this are a clear indicator: West Palm Beach is on the rise.

Looking Ahead

As Eataly continues its global expansion—with over 50 locations worldwide in places like Italy, Canada, and the UAE—its decision to invest in West Palm Beach highlights the city’s growing status as a cultural and lifestyle hub. That’s great news for anyone with a stake in local real estate or business.
