Following the company’s philosophy, the vibrant Italian marketplace will be interspersed with restaurants, counters, and a cooking school. Great focus will be devoted to local producers, who provide fresh ingredients daily to harmoniously complement Italian products. The unique environment invites guests to “Eat, Shop, and Learn” about high-quality Italian food and drink as they taste dishes, find ingredients, and take classes.
