what is il Mercato Centrale?
il Mercato Centrale is an idea that has become a place, a hub for everyone who loves, lives and chooses food.
Inspired by the Italian way of gathering, il Mercato Centrale Melbourne is a place where taste, style and culture blend together. It’s a place where food is lived, told and prepared by artisans who respect it and know it deeply. It’s a place to be lived and breathed, a place to hang and enjoy, that becomes a cultural and social melting pot without losing its spontaneity and simplicity.
Here, where theatre leads, craftsmanship is the main act, and artisans are the beating heart, hospitality becomes an artform.
il Mercato Centrale can be found in Florence, Rome, Turin, Milan and now Melbourne!
how it works
At Il Mercato Centrale Melbourne, you can shop for fresh artisanal food, place orders conveniently via a QR code, and our team will deliver them to you when ready.

Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout, and restrooms are located on every level.
