Founded in Turin in 2007 by Oscar Farinetti as an Italian regional-specialty supermarket; US expansion began 2010 with the NYC flagship. Eataly is the most accessible mainstream US destination for serious Italian charcuterie — Italian DOP/IGP-certified products, in-store butchers who slice prosciutto and salami to order, and a deli counter staffed by people who can actually tell you what's good that week. The salumi counter typically carries 30-60 SKUs across producers (Parma, Berkel-sliced prosciutto, regional salami, mortadella, capocollo).

Pricing is meaningfully above supermarket but consistent with quality. Online (eataly.com) has expanded but the in-store butcher relationship is the genuine value proposition.

Editorial note
In-store butcher relationship is the genuine value. Online is good but the counter experience is what makes Eataly Eataly.
