    This was our 1st time here, wonderful experience. We are staying in HH for a month, and I decided to bring home a frozen eggplant parmigiana for a future dinner while here. We will definitely be back!

    One of our favorite Hilton Head restaurants. We go there every time we are here. The Market Cafe has a great atmosphere and the staff are always welcoming and responsive. We split a fried burrata salad which was excellent. My wife had the spaghetti with crab and I had the chicken parmigiana. Both were delicious with just the right portions. They have a nice wine by the glass selection but maybe could offer some options closer to $10. Will be returning soon.

    We sat at a high top in bar area. Cozy and comfortable with a great ambiance. Jen provided outstanding service. Wine pour was great and the Rose was amazing. Dinner was amazing as well. We started with pane con formaggio, fried burrata salad then enjoyed spaghetti bolognese for dinner. Unfortunately no room for dessert but there was plenty of great options to choose from. Highly recommended. We will return!

    Casual setting amongst freezer cases of pasta, sauces , sausage etc. Combination of market and cafe makes an interesting dining spot. Three of us ate at the bar ( reserved seating available) and had three different dishes, all of which were properly proportioned for healthy eating and delicious. Just became a new “ go to” spot.
