Summer is too short to stay inside, so let’s revel in the peak of the season together at Piazza all’Aperto, Eataly’s all-new block party series! Bring your fling: from smoking grills to clinking glasses, these free evenings have all the ingredients to end your summer on an epic note.
PIAZZA ALL’APERTO
Free Block Parties on Boylston Street | Thursdays from 5-9 p.m.
Starting August 3, Eataly Boston is throwing the Italian version of a block party every week for the rest of the summer! The block parties are inspired by sagre, the bustling food festivals held in the piazza of nearly every town; Italians eat, drink, and make merry throughout the warm summer nights.
Now, you can get your Italian on with endless food, drinks, and free live music in Eataly’s own Piazza all’Aperto (“open piazza”) just outside their doors! Find them on the patio at 800 Boylston Street every Thursday through September 28.
Entry is free; food and drink tickets are available in advance or at the door.
FOOD & DRINK TICKETS
Tickets are valid all summer
Ready to block party yet? Swing by, make new friends, and start tasting! Your food and drink tickets will give you access to our chefs’ grilled plates; tasty pasta; savory sides; creamy gelato; freshly-filled cannoli; and refreshing drinks (spritzes, wine, and beer) every week.
INDIVIDUAL TICKETS | $5
Food and drink range from 1 to 2 tickets
ADVANCE TICKET BUNDLE | $35
3 food options and 2 drink options
AT THE DOOR | $40
3 food options and 2 drink options
If you somehow still have tickets at the end of the evening, you can use your leftovers at any block party for the rest of the summer.

Eataly Boston to Host Venica & Venica Estate
Family owned since 1930, Venica & Venica estate is one of the most prestigious wineries in the region of Friuli. Giampaolo recently took over the winery with his sister and cousins, making the estate four generations strong. White wine thrives in the Venica vineyards, which are spread on seven different hills, surrounded by forest and co-planted with fruit trees.
This dinner will allow Giampaolo to showcase his wines, including several white wines and even one red! Each of their bright, lush and always aromatic styles will pair beautifully with the menu designed by our brilliant Eatalian Chefs.
Join Bauer Wine and Spirits for the Art of Pairing
On Saturday, April 28, Bauer Wine and Spirits will be hosting the Art of Pairing from 4:30-6:30 P.M.
Art is all around us, it just depends on what inspires you. What makes your mouth water on a cold bomb cyclone day in Boston might not be appealing at all on a hot July Sunday on the Cape. Just as weather impacts your appreciation of a meal, your choice of beverage can take a meal from good to great, or even from great to extraordinary. The Art of Pairing is an educational piece where you can learn the key to a successful meal–the passport for a beautiful harmonious marriage between food and drink. We will be serving Tenure Peach Fizz with smokey pulled pork sliders, Garden Punch- a Rosemary Rhubarb Lemonade, with cornbread, and a Coldbrew martini served with Pecan Pie!
