An absolute must if you are in the Hollywood, Florida!!
Friendly, efficient service, followed by delightful presentation of delicious food was a real treat. The topper was the sticky toffee cake, a taste sensation.
Oh! What a fabulous dinner I just had. Il Mercato has been a favorite for years. I hadn’t dined here for a year or so. The food is excellent. I had the branzino followed by the sticky toffee cake. Server Rahul so involved with our every need and just as exited as about this restaurant as we are. It under new ownership.

IL Mercato is a cozy, small restaurant with both inside and outdoor seating, offering a warm German/Italian ambiance. Recently under new ownership and a new chef, the restaurant continues to serve consistently great food. Customers praise the fabulous salads and pasta, with daily specials and delicious desserts like chocolate creme. The menu features dishes such as calamari, eggplant parmesan, and the “best puttanesca pasta ever,” as well as special options like mushroom risotto with cod, which are highly recommended. The food is flavorful, well-made, and satisfying without being too heavy. Service is attentive, friendly, and fast, often complemented by small treats like limoncello and gelato. Many guests find the restaurant a perfect spot for a quiet early dinner or a casual outing, and it is noted as a hidden gem tucked between Publix and Juicy Seafood. Reservations are suggested to ensure a great dining experience.
