Il Mercato

Il Mercato lists a dedicated gluten-free BIO pasta dish, called 'Pasta Senza Glutine BIO', which can be paired with any sauce from the menu. Gluten-free items are also marked on the menu. The kitchen itself is not a dedicated gluten-free space. It operates as a pasta-centric Italian restaurant where wheat gluten is present in nearly every dish. This situation creates a material risk of cross-contamination. FindMeGlutenFree explicitly notes that the restaurant is 'NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility.'

The menu data from MenuHunterAI flags several dishes as 'Plant Based: Yes' (e.g., Insalata Rucola, Burrata al Tartufo, Tagliatelle BIO ai Funghi Misti Freschi, Spaghetti BIO al Pomodoro con Stracciatella), indicating vegetarian options are available and allergen/dietary info is provided per dish. No dedicated vegetarian menu section is documented, but multiple clearly vegetarian dishes exist and are identifiable.

The menu includes numerous fish-and-seafood pasta dishes alongside meat-based dishes and several vegetarian or dairy options. Pescatarians have good options, such as prawn, lobster, and bottarga pastas, and per-dish allergen data distinguishes fish from crustacean content. No structural pescatarian designation exists, but the menu composition is accommodating.

House-made fresh pasta contains eggs, confirmed as organic eggs in venue sources. Eggs also appear in dishes such as Carbonara. The MenuHunterAI source flags egg allergens on relevant dishes, indicating per-dish allergen marking exists. Some dishes, including Gluten-Free BIO pasta and several antipasti, appear egg-free according to the allergen data. However, shared kitchen production with egg-heavy pasta is routine.

Multiple pasta dishes feature wild Mozambique prawns, lobster, and bottarga; shellfish allergens are flagged per-dish in the MenuHunterAI menu data. No dedicated shellfish-free preparation area is documented, and shellfish is a recurring ingredient in the kitchen, so cross-contamination risk for anaphylactic diners is significant.

Tree nuts (walnuts) appear in the Insalata Rucola and the chef's charcuterie board, and are flagged in MenuHunterAI allergen data. No nut-free protocol or dedicated prep area is documented; for anaphylactic diners the shared kitchen environment is a meaningful risk.

A FindMeGlutenFree reviewer described the venue as 'good for dairy-free,' and certain menu items, such as the Tagliatelle BIO ai Funghi Misti Freschi, show no dairy allergen flag. Dairy ingredients, including Parmigiano Reggiano, mozzarella, burrata, stracciatella, and butter, are widespread across the menu. No dedicated dairy-free menu or documented preparation protocols exist. Accommodation for some dishes may be possible, but it is not structured.
