Il Mercato

October 25, 2025

Another great restaurant from Chef Tanka Sapkota! The freshness, flavory, the creamy textures and the best ingredients are all there! The room is well decorated and it includes a market with good quality Italian ingredients. The staff is friendly, although the service was a little bit slow. The prices are quite fare, tottaly worth it: we were a group of 4 and payed ~25€ each (without wine). We tried the focaccia with extra virgin oil; the bio burrata with black truffle; ravioli with pumpkin filling; tagliatelle with ragu and tagliatelle with mushrooms! Perfect pasta, perfect seasoning with different fresh herbs! For dessert we had the Nutella cheesecake and the classic tiramissu! All delicious! Totally recommend it 👌

Lovely restaurant down an alley with a few others. A menu with focus - cheese and meat and pasta. There’s a salad or two and a couple of veal dishes, but otherwise it’s cheese and meat and pasta. Nothing wrong with that but it is not a full Italian menu with primi and secondi and contorni. We enjoyed everything we ate and the service was nice. Inexpensive wine and even a limoncello to wrap it all up. bolognese recommended along with … well everything we ate. Lots of pretty people on a Friday night (and then there was us. Hehehe) Grazie

We had a wonderful dinner at Il Mercato — a cozy and elegant restaurant with excellent service and an inviting atmosphere. Our family of four enjoyed every dish we ordered, but the highlight was definitely the pasta — rich, creamy, and full of flavor (see photo!). The staff were attentive and friendly, the wine selection was great, and everything came out perfectly prepared. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good food, and have a memorable evening together. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lisbon and looking for authentic Italian cuisine made with care and passion.

I really enjoyed my visit to Il Mercato. Although the restaurant was fully booked when we arrived, the staff were quick to help and managed to arrange a table for us within just five minutes. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the evening, offering suggestions on how to structure our meal and keeping a cheerful attitude. We chose to share three pasta dishes, which were served divided onto individual plates, something we really appreciated instead of receiving full portions of each dish separately. Really recommend the truffle ravioli, that was great with generous amount of truffle and flavor. The dinner ended with a complimentary limoncello, which was a lovely touch. Great value for money, generous portions, and a very pleasant restaurant overall.

Our first time here and it didn't disappoint! All the servers are friendly and attentive. Our pasta dishes were delicious and bigger portion than we expected. We added this in our favorite restaurant list. We'll surely be back.
