Service was real slow. Did not make reservations so they sat us at high table with cold breeze hitting us every time a person walked in. That wasn’t enjoyable at all. Place got busy real quick after we had been sitting for a while.Food was delicious. Chicken parm was good and sauce was good. Beet salad was also very good.$80 total bill with tip for two w two lemonades. So not the cheapest but what is these days.We will return but next time make reservation so we can sit at a table

Food was tasty, but for lunch portions were very expensive. I walked out with a $75 lunch bill, not including tip- everything is a-la-carte. Won't come back.

Mercato doesn't disappoint. We started with apps- the Brussels & Burrata, Fried Calamari, and Housemade Mozzarella Sticks. The Brussel Sprouts were incredible. Will def get them again. The Fried Calamari was good, but I've never seen such a small portion of calamari. The Mozzarella Sticks were good. There were 6 of us, and we all ordered something different. Pork Chop Saltimbocca: this is the second time my husband ordered it. It's that good. Chicken Parm: no complaints Linguini & Clams: I don't think there was a spec of food left on my dad's plate. He loved it. Figgy Pizza: sweet & yummy Classic with peppers: definitely a misunderstanding on this one. My mom didn't want roasted peppers-she asked for peppers and thought she was getting green/red peppers-ended up with roasted peppers. Classic Pizza: enjoyed but crust wasn't as done as the other two pizzas. Drinks/espressos/coffee: all good I absolutely recommend making reservations. I've only been a few times, but I've never seen Mercato NOT busy. They def know what they're doing. And they hire well. The hostess was charming, and our waitress was fantastic. Our plates were cleared quickly and when we needed something (spoon/napkin), we got it quickly.

Food was great! Service was prompt despite being so busy. I recommend getting a reservation if you plan to dine in during weekend dinner times. Will definitely be coming here again to sample the rest of the menu.

Great place to meet friends, this was my third visit and I found it to be consistently good! More of a hopping place to gather, a bit noisy so if you struggle with hearing, it might be tough to have a conversation without speaking loudly. It could be due to the industrial type space with high ceilings. Beautifully appointed, modern, clean. Excellent menu choices, hard to decide! Expansive appetizers, very eclectic personal pizzas on thin crust, lovely pasta dishes with slow braised short rib ragú, as well as handheld options. Stylishly curated cocktail menu as well!

My first time at Mercato was for a holiday party, where we were served apps. They were so good, we decided to go back for dinner. We really love the atmosphere. The food was delicious and our waiter was fantastic.

Even though you make a reservation you still have to wait to be seated. This is not the first time happening. The cheese layer on the pizza was thicker than the crust, way too much. The bread came after the pizza ?.
