Great ambiance, good service, lovely food. Always a great place for dinner. Well able to accommodate my father who has a walker as well. Thanks!
Carlos ant he chefs are great. The Lasagna was great and so was everything else. Service was great
Excellent service and food. Beautiful interior style. We’d love to see the lighting be more dimmed. It would add more of a romantic ambiance.

We got there early as they were firing up the wood for the brick oven. Made the entire restuarant extremely smoky. Despite the experience, the food was great. Service was ok!
Delicious food. Staff made us feel really welcome and were really accommodating. We'll be back.
We had a holiday dinner with extended family and the experience was delightful from start to finish. Staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. The food was delicious (lamb risotto was a standout). Ambiance was just lively enough to be festive, but quiet enough for the large table of 7 to talk comfortably. I was particularly touched by the kind attention staff paid to the older family members to accommodate their preferences and pace. We'll be back next time our family gets together.
We haven’t been to a restaurant that met all our expectations in a while like Cafe Mercato! Celebrating a year of marriage and wanting a nice place to eat, this place exceeded our expectations! Great food, and our waitress Genie was absolutely delightful!

Mediocre food and service combine for a waste of time and money.

A great Italian restaurant! Not your run of the mill menu.

This is the fifth time eating at Café Mercado and it's proven to be consistently excellent food. For an elegant plate, the triple grilled fish or bouillabaisse are tasty. The service is always personable, friendly and fun. Two negatives: I know music is highly subjective but I found it louder than I liked and not pretty. Usually restaurants give a little treat for birthdays; not Cafe Mercado.

Lina did an outstanding job on a busy Saturday night. She was helping at every post that night and still smiling.

As always the food was excellent and the service so attentive. We watch my brother and sister-in-law who were visiting from Pennsylvania and they said it was the best meal of their week long vacation in Colorado. We have also celebrated birthdays here and always appreciated the creative and delicious food and fine service as well as delightful ambience. 
Service had a robotic feel. There was very little listening. Wine recommendations are weak, go in knowing how to pair on your own. Only one service is provided at a time: Drinks, Food, Dessert. Don't plan on ordering Drinks and Appetizers at the same time, or asking additional questions to your waiter. You must fight for attention.
The food here is absolutely amazing!!! The pizza, the drinks, the entrees. My only feedback would be that service is very slow. We arrived 6:30 and there was a plate ready to deliver to a table and it was sitting there for another 20 minutes. I get maybe it was rush hour and I would have been happy drinking my margarita but that also took such a long time to arrive.
Delicious authentic food. Awesome dessert options.
Service was good but our poor server was handing too many tables.
