MSC Cruises has announced the introduction of the first Eataly at Sea restaurant on its new ship, MSC World America. The venue opens on Deck 8 and will serve guests both lunch and dinner. Dining at Eataly requires passengers to purchase a dining package prior to the cruise, though reservations can be made to dine a la carte subject to availability.
The Eataly concept, which began in 2002 with a venue in Torino Lingotto, Italy, combines dining with grocery shopping, offering a variety of gourmet Italian foods and cooking classes. The chain now has multiple locations worldwide, including Boston, Dallas, and New York City in the United States and internationally from Paris to Seoul.
"Eataly's name has a certain cache and star power," the announcement noted, and its first onboard location promises an authentic Italian culinary experience. Luca Cesarini, MSC's corporate specialty restaurant chef, Giuseppe Mazzola, Eataly's senior culinary chef, and Diego Puddu, Eataly USA's culinary director, are behind the endeavor.
