Mercato Italiano Boca Raton

This is such an amazing cafe. The lady who owns this place was so friendly, nice and warm. The food was also great. We ate cannolis, a piece of chocolate and orange cakes, and drank cappuccinos. The ambience was great too. We would definitely come back here, especially to eat some pizza that smelled delicious just as we were leaving.

Cute small place, food was very fresh and very good. Homemade breads and desserts. What else could you ask for. We ate every bite. They were under staffed Sunday afternoon before closing. We didn’t wait too long for the food or anything it came prompt. But the server was average at best. If this place had a Charming or charismatic server it would have been a 5 star review!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly Authentic Italian Gem! Mercato Italiano is hands down the most authentic Italian experience you can find in Boca Raton. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or planning a larger event, this place excels on every level. The owners are genuinely Italian, and you can tell immediately. It's a fantastic sign of authenticity when you see that the restaurant is frequently visited by Italian people themselves! You absolutely must try their food! Their panini are built with high-quality, fresh ingredients and are irresistible—perfect for lunch or a snack. And the espresso is pure perfection—truly authentic Italian coffee that transports you straight to Rome. In fact, all their Italian food is phenomenal and clearly made with passion and tradition. But our experience went beyond just a great meal: We recently hosted our baby shower here, and the event was outstanding! The attention to detail, the quality of the food provided, and the service from the entire staff were impeccable. They went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. If you are looking for real Italian food, atmosphere, and service, Mercato Italiano is a must-visit. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you so much!

I would give this place 1 million stars if I could. Their authentic Italian sandwiches are my favorite. From the food, to the service, to the cozy atmosphere, to the cooking classes, Mercato Italiano is one of my favorite Boca spots!

Irene and Susie made us feel like long-lost family, welcoming us with warmth and ensuring everything about our visit was perfect. Their hospitality alone deserves five stars! Now, let’s talk about the food. WOW. The sandwiches were pure works of art. The U Sicilianu was a flavor explosion—each bite bursting with rich, savory goodness. The La Mortattazza was divine, perfectly balanced with thinly sliced meats and that classic Italian touch. And the chicken cutlet sandwich? Absolute perfection—crispy, juicy, and layered with all the right flavors. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the Margherita pizza arrived at our table, glistening with fresh mozzarella, vibrant tomato sauce, and a heavenly aroma that could make anyone weak in the knees. It was light, fresh, and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of char on the crust. Mercato Italiano is a true gem!
