All-You-Can-Eataly: Amalfi Coast Edition Lands in Toronto This September
Craving a southern Italian food binge but stuck in the city? Eataly Sherway Gardens is about to make your September a lot more interesting. For one evening only, they’re throwing the doors open after hours for All-You-Can-Eataly: Amalfi Coast, a night where the carbs, cheeses, and cocktails just keep coming. If you’ve ever daydreamed about eating your way through the Amalfi Coast, this is the kind of event that makes those summer travel plans feel a little less out of reach, right in the heart of Toronto.
Endless Italian Plates, Zero Judgment
This isn’t your basic buffet. Eataly is filling the space with stations serving up all sorts of Italian favorites, pasta, pizza, seafood, and a bunch of surprises that don’t show up on the regular menu. You’ll catch chefs making fresh mozzarella on the spot, and it’s basically impossible to miss the huge boards loaded with cured meats and cheese. Last year, this event sold out, and folks kept talking about those grazing tables for days.
Need-to-Know:
- Friday, September 19, 7–11pm
- Eataly Sherway Gardens, 25 The West Mall
- Loads of southern Italian classics and special dishes just for the night
Drinks That Make You Feel Like You’re on Holiday
Now, about the drinks. There’s an open bar, and it’s not phoning it in. Think regional Italian wines, spritzes, limoncello cocktails, and non-alcoholic stuff too. You pick your favorite, head back for another as often as you like, and nobody will judge if you do a spritz-to-Prosecco rotation all night. Reviews mention that the beverage game here is as strong as the food spread.
Need-to-Know:
- All drinks included in your ticket
- Local and classic Italian pours, plus something for the non-drinkers
Move Around, Eat, and Actually Talk to People
Forget sitting still. The vibe here is very much “grab a plate, wander, connect.” You’ll probably lose count of how many times you make it back to the cheese or pastry table, and that’s how everyone wants it. If you’ve got a friend group who loves trying everything, or you’re looking for a casual night with good food and good energy, this isn’t a bad way to do it.
Need-to-Know:
- Fresh mozzarella, charcuterie boards, pastry tables, and more
- Easygoing, upbeat atmosphere; works for both groups or pairs
How to Get In: Tickets and Details
Tickets are going for $90 if you’re quick (before August 11), then $110 after that. That’s everything included for four hours, no extra charges on the night. Judging by past events, tickets won’t last long, so if you’re debating, just lock it in early. You can snag yours on Eataly’s website or Eventbrite.
Need-to-Know:
- Early bird: $90 (before August 11), regular: $110
- Grab your ticket online or at Eataly Sherway Gardens
All-You-Can-Eataly: Amalfi Coast goes down Friday, September 19, at Eataly Sherway Gardens. Big on carbs, big on options, plenty of reasons to stay for that extra scoop of gelato. Menu details and ticket info are posted at Eataly’s Sherway Gardens page. If you want a night that feels like a getaway without airport drama, this is probably the event to hit. Expect to eat well, sip well, and maybe even start plotting what you’ll try first if they do it again next year.
