Il Gran Lavazza - Chicago

Our first visit, wonderful selection of chocolates.

An amazing comprehensive Italian experience with a wide selection of Italian food, wine, cheese, meat and other culinary elements. The Neapolitan pizza is a must try. The cheeses are amazing. They also do an Olive oil tasting! Many options in pasta, antipasta, pizza and desserts. Overall a solid experience and dive into the Italian culinary culture. Worth a visit for eating and shopping.

We had multiple amazing meals here and great shopping too. I ordered a cream paste with prosciutto. It was amazing! I'm lactose intolerant and knew I would pay for it but it was worth it (TMI. . . it was amazing. My daughter ordered a very simple pasta with red sauce but was delicious. The pasta was fresh and delicious.

Had a delicious dinner at Eataly! Now, the upstairs is one giant pizza/pasta eatery instead of a bunch of smaller eateries (they used to have a seafood place a little beer bar). We enjoyed everything we ordered all the dishes were freish executed well. Service from Joel was excellent. We got the fried calamari shrimp (delish), the fried chicken the veal stuffed pasta. I also got a couple of desserts to go from the first floor cafe. Such a fun place to shop eat!

I always make it a point to visit Chicago’s Eataly for any city trips. Always go for their always fresh bread baked on site. Get some great imported wine, and some cheese, especially the mozzarella which they ALSO make on site daily. The ambiance of this place is also truly special. Walking around and seeing all these amazing ingredients. Worth your time and money.
