Ferraro to open the first owned and operated restaurant, Nutella Cafe, end of this month! Whether you're grabbing coffee on the way to work or looking for a neighborhood lunch spot, the new Nutella Cafe will offer an array of all-day dishes and to-go options designed to take your taste experience to new and delicious heights, all with a side of happy.
The permanent cafe is the first restaurant owned and operated by Ferrero, promising an authentic Nutella experience complete with a specially curated menu. Exclusive menu items include warm, grilled baguettes with Nutella, fresh-roasted hazelnut and blueberry granola with yogurt and Nutella, and Italian specialties like "Panzanella" fruit salad, and Gelato Affogato, a tasty dollop of Fior di Latte topped with Nutella. There will also be a number of dishes available without the famous hazelnut spread, including a wide selection of savory dishes such as paninis, salads and other unique specialties.
"We wanted to create a world of Nutella for our fans that could truly capture the essence of the brand – not just in the dishes that will be served, but in the full experience from the moment you step into the space." said Noah Szporn, Head of Marketing Nutella North America. "The Nutella Cafe offers something for everybody, and we encourage everyone to come in and try a dish or snack. We hope Nutella enthusiasts, Chicagoans and visitors enjoy the cafe as much as we enjoyed creating it."
Officially opening its doors at 10 am Wednesday, May 31st, 2017, the Nutella Cafe will host a public grand opening with Nutella fan Rocco DiSpirito at 151 North Michigan Avenue (one block from Millennium Park). The first 400 visitors to the Nutella Cafe will receive one free select menu item along with a chance for other special surprises – while supplies last.
