About Café Mercato

Café Mercato is a popular Italian restaurant in Denver, known for its tasty homemade sausage and gelato. The atmosphere is lovely, with a spacious and comfortable setting that offers plenty of parking. The lunch and dinner selections are delicious, and the restaurant is often quiet, making it a good spot for relaxed dining. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing good service, with knowledgeable waitstaff and an excellent bartender. Although there can be slight delays in receiving drinks and appetizers, the overall dining experience remains excellent. The food is carefully prepared and perfectly portioned, including dishes like flatiron steak, risotto, and spinach, while the espresso is a highlight. The restaurant is also a great choice for pre-theater dining, thanks to its proximity to local theaters and good wine and cocktail options. Customers praise the amazing food, including the pizza and entrees, though some note the service can be slow at times. The dining room is fine but not particularly attractive, and the noise level can be a bit higher than preferred. Overall, Café Mercato provides a great dining experience with delicious Italian cuisine.
