Block Party: Summer at the Seaside

Italy's seaside culture comes to Back Bay for one night as Eataly transforms its outdoor patio and part of the marketplace into a coastal-inspired block party. Summer at the Seaside celebrates the country's long relationship with waterfront dining through seafood-focused dishes, seasonal drinks, live entertainment, and producer tastings. Expect specialties like oyster boats, shrimp cocktail, seafood cones, and other bites inspired by Italy's coastal regions. The evening is designed for wandering, with guests free to move between food stations, drinks, and entertainment at their own pace. Part of Eataly's summer Block Party series, the event captures the laid-back rhythm of an Italian evening without leaving Boston. It's a welcome excuse to trade dinner reservations for an outdoor feast.
