In November 2002, the Eataly concept was born from Oscar Farinetti’s idea sketched on a piece of paper.

Eataly is an energetic marketplace-an opportunity to taste and take home the products of artisans who create the highest quality products at a fair price. Located in San Jose’s premier shopping destination, Eataly Silicon Valley offers event planning services to suit every need and occasion. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner for 12 or a gala for 300, we’ll help you design the party of your dreams
