Eataly World has been unanimously coined by various credible media presses as a ‘Disneyland of Food’ and interested visitors can anticipate a comprehensive variety of unique field-to-fork dining experiences.

From visiting educational breeding farms to discovering craftsmen workshops, Eataly World aims to provide a memorable culinary journey unlike any other.

This 20-acre theme park solely dedicated to Italian delicacies will open next year in Bologna, Italy. And this gourmet paradise expects to attract at least six million visitors each year. While this large-scale project may not fulfil your secret fantasies of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it is still an unmissable attraction.

If you are hearing about Eataly for the first time, it is the world’s biggest Italian marketplace chain and can be found across Italy and global cities such as New York City and Dubai. The food emporium consists of bakeries, cooking school(s), food counters and retail sections. And that is not all.

The reputable brand will soon be taking an unprecedented step of opening an edutainment food theme park. Spanning across approximately eight hectares, the Italian playground will be home to an impressive selection of high-quality eateries, farms, laboratories, markets and restaurants etc.

Eataly World aims to showcase both traditional and modern techniques of rearing, harvesting and preparation of food. It will be the ultimate one-stop destination to eat and learn about every single procedure involved in producing great Italian products. Experiential tours committed to promote awareness about agri-food chains are available for groups too.

This entrepreneurial huge food theme park is set to be a big draw for Bolonga’s tourism. The benefits are aplenty, where an abundance of jobs would be created for natives in this process. Fico Eataly World’s opening date has yet to be confirmed, but news of it will be updated on its official website.

Judging from the investors and the amount of money pumped into this project, we are certain that Eataly World will live up to its hype.

For now, we can only keep our fingers crossed that whimsical attractions such as nutella fountains and edible houses could become a reality.

Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory is every child’s dreamland. And we might just have a chance to experience the fantasy. Well, close enough.

There is this chocolate factory themed restaurant – a new dining concept to be unveiled in Universal Studios Orlando called The Toothsome Chocolate Factory – that is modelled after the one in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, making our hearts melt as we reminisce the days where all we ever wanted was to win a golden ticket.

While an official date is not set in stone, Universal Studios Orlando has mentioned that their latest dining concept will open later this year in 2016. Here is what you can expect from the upcoming The Toothsome Chocolate Factory that will be situated along the Universal CityWalk.

To clarify, it is of no relation to the popular Roald Dahl novel, but it sure is the closest we can get to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory yet.

The interior boasts a very steampunk-esque vibe with decor and ornaments inspired from the 90′s. The restaurant will mainly feature chocolate-themed desserts in a setting with smoke stacks, funky gadgetry, and you will also be served by staff wearing unique Steampunk fashion.

For savoury options, you can choose from a selection of steaks, seafood and pasta entrees, gourmet burgers, sandwiches, salads, all-day brunch and more.

The decadent drinks menu will feature some exciting milkshakes and some of them are Chocolate x5, Bacon Brittle, Espresso Buzzzz, Red Velvet and Key Lime Pie. They all sound very potent already, especially the Chocolate x5 that will send you straight to chocolate heaven with chocolate spirals, chunks, ice-cream and whipped cream to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Crazy sundaes for you? We have the Salted Caramel Flan, Chocolate Brownie Bark and S’mores.

The great thing about the dining concept is that it is an open kitchen, so be prepared to see all the chocolates being made right before your eyes. Also, chocolate gifts will be available for purchase so you can continue enjoying the chocolate-y goodness back home.

We are totally excited about this groundbreaking concept and this gives us a reason to fly to Orlando now!
