Notte Italiana: Holidays at Eataly

Eataly Los Angeles stays open late on Friday, December 11, for Notte Italiana: Holidays at Eataly, an after-hours tasting that takes over the Level 3 marketplace and restaurants. It is an all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink night for adults, built around Italian food, wine and seasonal cocktails. If you collect LA food festivals on your calendar, this one is a holiday-season option that happens indoors and after dark.

When: Friday, December 11, 2026, 9:00 PM to midnight Where: Eataly Los Angeles, 10250 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90067 Price: From $131.20, with higher ticket tiers listed on Eventbrite Ages: 21+, valid government ID required at check-in

What to expect

The organizers describe the night as a winter wonderland version of the store. A ticket covers more than 20 stations of chef-curated Italian bites, along with fine Italian wines and seasonal cocktails. The listing mentions stations featuring caviar, fresh sashimi, seasonal truffles and hand-crafted pasta, plus plenty of holiday bubbles.

Beyond the food, expect chef-led demonstrations, premium food and beverage demos, live music and other holiday activations spread through the marketplace and restaurants. Holiday-inspired dishes will also appear throughout the space, so it is worth wandering rather than camping at one station.

Good to know before you go

This is a standing event. The listing says seating is not guaranteed, so wear comfortable shoes and plan to move around with a plate and a glass in hand. Tickets are limited, and the price tiers suggest the higher ones add perks, so read the Eventbrite page to see what each level includes.

Every guest has to show a government-issued ID at check-in to prove they are 21 or older before wine and cocktail tastings. Bring your ticket, either printed or on your phone.

Getting there

Eataly sits on Santa Monica Boulevard in Century City, inside the Westfield mall complex on Level 3. Parking in the mall garage is the simplest option for a late-night event, and a rideshare makes sense if you plan to taste the wine pairings. Allow extra time on a Friday night, since Westside traffic stays heavy into the evening.

Making a night of it

If you are building a list of things to do in Los Angeles this December, this pairs well with a visit to the lights and shops nearby earlier in the evening, then a late dinner-as-grazing at Eataly. Check the ticket page for the latest availability, since a limited-capacity tasting like this can sell out well ahead of the date.
