Mercato West is a restaurant that offers a fine dining experience, known for its inviting ambiance and impeccable service. The menu features a variety of dishes, including pastas, seafood, and desserts, all bursting with flavor and crafted with care. The pastas, such as the Carbonara, have been praised, although consistency in preparation could be improved. The gnocchi is a standout dish, receiving universal acclaim from diners, along with the risotto, which impressed even a celiac guest. The steak, marsala chicken, and octopus with brussel sprouts and asparagus were stunning, with excellent accompanying sauces. Starters like the caprese, bruschetta, shrimp, and arancini were absolutely delicious, and the affogato was a perfect finish. The Norwegian server was highly regarded for their attentiveness, suggesting grappa and providing wonderful service. While some dishes, like the risotto and Caesar salad, have been criticized for heavy-handed use of truffle oil and overcooking, the overall dining experience at Mercato West is generally seen as a positive one, with beautiful presentation and excellent value. However, the restaurant does not provide high chairs, which may deter families with young children.
