Met friends for dinner, it was perfect! We found food for everyone with variety of food desires. Very friendly staff! Cute restaurant on the inside, outdoor seating looked nice too.
Highly recommend for reasonably priced sit-down meal!
Linguine Nero was great! A lot of seafoods 😋
Service was so friendly and attentive. Perhaps the best calamari I’ve ever had.

Mercato is a go-to for happy hour, which runs Monday through Sunday, featuring a selection of wines and amazing goat cheese cicchette. The food receives high praise, with many dishes described as the best versions of themselves. Specific recommendations include the ham pizza with its thin, crispy crust, salty ham, and rich cheese, perfectly paired with a fresh and crisp vegetable salad with the right dressing. Other standout dishes mentioned are fritto misto, eggplant rollatini, gnocchi, carbonara, and ravioli, with particular appreciation for the sauce. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are authentic. The service is consistently described as top-notch, personable, and pleasant, with staff remembering guests and being sweet to their dogs when seated outside. Guests never feel rushed, even staying until close. The food and wine are considered to die for, and many plan to return often.
