It's almost been 18yrs the last time I've been here. Memories of having the best Bistecca (steak)! Today we came in with the family for my wife's Bday and omg, everything tasted exactly like it was 18yrs ago!! The delicious steak, the mussels, gnocchi, and smashed potatoes.. just amazing! The best experience I can ask for!Super friendly service and warm atmosphere! Hopefully will return to try other wonderful dishes..
Excellent food. We typically order the octopus to start. It is sliced thinly and served with a garlic lemon sauce. You can't go wrong with any of their pasta options. We often share the bistecca as well. Side options of broccolini and potatoes are nice. Child friendly with booster chairs available.

Cannot express enough, how amazing this was…family style dishes, impeccable service (including conversation and honesty) waters always full, the wine and beverages were delicious. Gnocchi, and chicken were the absolute best we’ve ever had….hands down. Would recommend. Will return!

Have dined here with my son and daughter in law when in Calgary. I called to have a dessert for my son on the occasion of his birthday. The staff were top shelf and gracious as they went over and above.Great hospitality!! Best restaurant!
Totally fabulous restaurant. I'd not been here before, so first time experience and I think it's now my favorite eatery in Calgary for authentic Italian food. Everything was A+, from the wonderful staff, right from the get go. The food was to die for, scrumptious and plenty of it. Only took a doggy bag because honestly, huge portions and just couldn't eat it all. Kid friendly too and our server was so tuned into our needs with a five year old...great place. It was too late to check out the grocery side but I will go in for sure....

I love coming here. Great location. There's nearby street parking. The food is tasty and great for sharing. Caprese salad and burrata followed by Bistecca, Pappardelle and Mushrooms. Do it! And get some drinks. You'll have a good time.

I finally went to Mercato after 6 months of living a block away, and I suspect it will be heavy in the rotation from now on. The atmosphere is great, I recommend sitting at the bar to watch the kitchenThe food is fantastic, but service is quite slow - our server warned us off the top that our mains might take a while, so I appreciated the heads up.We tried the risotto and the bucatini, which were both great. Portion sizes are huge! So much better bang for your buck than a lot of places these days.Definitely recommend ???

They ask you when you book is it a special occasion. We write yes and what it is. Then you get there and nothing! No cake, tiny muffin, coffee nothingWhy do you even ask then??Need better ventilation! Very smoky while we are! Left with very watery sore eyes. And normal complaints there! Too loud. Food is very good! Broccoli over done but overall food is very tasty
Music was a bit loud at the time. But food and service were amazing. ?Highly recommend their rib Steak ⭐️
