Eataly's Vibrant New Patio In Toronto Will Give You A Taste Of Summertime In Italy

No passport needed!
Lead Writer, Travel

Get ready for a summertime getaway, because this new patio will transport you across the ocean. Toronto's massive, multi-level Italian food venue is launching an outdoor eating area, and it will make you feel like you're dining in the streets of Italy. You can indulge in all the carbs and boozy summer drinks on Eataly's new patio in Toronto opening this week.

It's time for a little trip to Italy! While travel may be limited this season, you can travel to Europe by visiting this glorious patio opening soon.

Eataly, a giant wonderland for Italian food, drinks, and shopping, is getting a new outdoor eating area this week.

Officially opening on July 10, Il Patio di Eataly by Aperol will whisk visitors away to summertime in Europe.

You'll be able to enjoy Eataly's delicious food and atmosphere outdoors on the Bay and Bloor Street dining area.

The patio will add a bright pop of colour to your summer days with its vibrant orange drinks. 

You can indulge in all sorts of pizzas, authentic Spiedini, which are Italian skewers, and of course, the traditional Aperol Spritz while enjoying the outdoors.

Weather permitting, the patio will be open daily from July until the end of September.

Eataly has new regulations in place in order to keep guests safe.

The number of visitors will be kept at a minimum, and seating areas are disinfected after each use.

Guests are asked to wear a mask before and after eating, and cashless payment is recommended.

Eataly officially opened its first Canadian location in Toronto last fall.
