    ¡Café Delicioso y Ambiente Familiar en Hallandale Beach! ¡No puedo dejar de recomendar esta cafetería en Hallandale Beach! Fui con mis hijos y nos encantó a todos. Desde que entramos, el ambiente es súper acogedor y la decoración muy linda, ideal para sentirse a gusto. Mis pequeños se divirtieron muchísimo con los juegos de mesa que tienen disponibles, ¡lo cual es un puntazo para las mamás! Pedimos diferentes cosas y todo estaba riquísimo. El café es espectacular, con ese aroma que te invita a quedarte un rato más. Además, tienen una variedad de dulces y opciones saladas que son perfectas para cualquier antojo. Mis hijos devoraron unas galletas gigantes y yo disfruté de un desayuno delicioso. El personal es muy amable y atento, siempre con una sonrisa y dispuestos a ayudar. Se nota que les gusta lo que hacen. ¡Definitivamente un lugar para volver una y otra vez! Ideal para un brunch tranquilo, una tarde de juegos con los niños o simplemente para disfrutar de un buen café. ¡Ya quiero regresar!

    My family of 4 went to an early dinner at il Mercato and we loved it! We have 2 little babies so we went right at 5 when they opened and had the entire place to ourselves! The food was amazing and the service was fast and friendly! They even gave us complimentary limoncello and gelato which we haven’t had since our honeymoon in Italy! Loved it and would recommend it to everyone 10/10 :)

    We went to the restaurant with high expectations because it was highly recommended. The food was terrible, the star dish which is the eggplant parmesan were nothing else but stewed eggplant in tomato sauce . The pasta sauce were a canned tomatoes pasta sauce with lots of capers... not a real recently cooked meal. Don't bother going there if you really want a taste of Italian food.
