The Ito equation belongs to the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) family and is commonly employed to predict how ships roll in regular seas. Additionally, it characterizes the interaction between two internal long waves. In the 1980s, Ito extended the bilinear KdV equation, resulting in the well-known (1+1)-dimensional and (2+1)-dimensional Ito equations. In this study finds numerous classes of exact solutions for a new structured (2 + 1)-dimensional Ito integro-differential equation using the help of the Mathematica software. The Improved Modified Extended Tanh Function Scheme (IMETFS) is utilised to address the aforementioned equation analytically. Bright, dark, and singular soliton solutions are produced. Additionally, periodic, exponential, rational, singular periodic, and Weierstrass elliptic doubly periodic results are achieved. The method employed includes the nonlinear evolution equations that arise in a variety of real-world situations, and it is efficient, applicable, and simple to handle. For certain obtained solutions, specific options of free constants are presented in 3D, 2D, and contour graphical depictions.
