Launched by Eataly, the famous chain of sprawling Italian food emporiums, FICO Eataly World is US$106 million 20-acre complex that will comprise six rides, 25 restaurants and food stalls, and orchards and pastures for visitors to pick their Italian produce from.

Come October 2017, Italian food aficionados can get their fix of pizza, pasta and polenta at the newly opened FICO Eataly World in Bologna, Italy. 

Launched by Eataly, the famous chain of sprawling Italian food emporiums, FICO Eataly World is US$106 million 20-acre complex that will comprise six rides, 25 restaurants and food stalls, and orchards and pastures for visitors to pick their Italian produce from. 

One of the cool features at the park is the 500 adult-sized tricycles, made by renowned Italian bike maker Bianchi, which come with shopping baskets.

But more than just an entertainment park, edutainment is also encouraged as visitors will get to learn about different aspects of Italian food, from production to consumption. For instance, they will get to walk through the prosciutto making process, and see the different types of live stock grazing in the fields. 

A 200-room hotel is slated to open in 2018, according to CN Traveler. 

Admission is free for guests.
