Greenery hangs from the ceiling, while shelving with bottles is visible in the background. A sign reads "Eataly Restaurant.

Guests can look forward to their favorite Eataly dishes, which are made with carefully sourced ingredients. The cruise line also announced the introduction of new Eataly menu items that will only be available at sea. Meals will be prepared in an open kitchen, and pasta will be freshly made.

Since 2007, the Italian-owned company has been cultivating a renewed appreciation for Italian cuisine by offering authentic, high-quality food at reasonable prices. Eataly today has over 40 retail locations worldwide.

Eataly at Sea offers a modern dining experience with a view of the ocean through large glass windows. The interior features wooden chairs and marble tables, while the outside deck has seating for outdoor dining under clear skies. Lush green plants hang from the ceiling, creating a serene atmosphere aboard MSC World America.

MSC Cruises Vice President of Global Hotel Operations, Bernhard Stacher, pointed out the cruise operator’s commitment to serving meals that bring people together. He added, “MSC World America stays true to this philosophy, which is why we have partnered with Eataly–an emblem of ‘Made in Italy’ and Italian culinary artistry.”
