International culinary icon Eataly is preparing to make its highly anticipated U.S. airport debut at John F. Kennedy International Airport, bringing five dynamic new spaces across three terminals beginning in September 2025. To bring this ambitious vision to life, Eataly and HMS Host has tapped Phoenix-based Ideation Design Group (IDG), a global leader in hospitality and travel design, to spearhead the architecture and interiors of the landmark project.

A Global First for Airport Dining

IDG's design redefines airport hospitality, capturing the essence of Eataly through the lens of Italian artistry, culture, and conviviality. Each venue embodies the soul of Italy-where craftsmanship meets modern elegance-evoking the warmth of Milan's chic cafes and the vibrancy of Rome's bustling markets, transforming travel into a celebration of taste and place.

The familiar space will blend gleaming quartz countertops, hand-crafted ceramic tiles, and textured woods paired with warm metal accents, all bathed in natural light and softened with Eataly's signature greenery and olive trees. Every detail-from custom banquettes and artful planter boxes to artisanal pizza ovens and bespoke lighting-has been carefully curated to transport travelers to Italy, even while en route to their next destination.

A Word from the Designer

"Designing Eataly's very first airport locations is not just a project-it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine how travelers experience food, culture, and place," said Jennifer Reynolds, Founder and CEO of Ideation Design Group. "Our goal is to capture the warmth, authenticity, and energy of Eataly in a way that feels immersive and unforgettable, even in the middle of one of the busiest airports in the world."

IDG's design vision embraces movement and discovery, creating environments that flow seamlessly between dining, shopping, and gathering spaces. "We wanted to ensure that every corner tells a story," Reynolds added. "From the hand-crafted finishes to the lush greenery, nothing is accidental. Eataly at JFK will feel alive-an oasis where travelers can pause, connect, and unwind before continuing their journey."
