Very nice ambiance and excellent service. Menu was expensive and I thought the food was only average. My fish was somewhat bland and my buddy said his burger, while giant, wasn't anything special. Still a nice Italian restaurant with a very authentic feel. I just didn't think the food taste matched the prices which is why only 4 stars. (Desserts looked amazing... I didn't taste!)

On January 18 we held a surprise 80th birthday party for my husband at Mercato, and the experience was, in a word, outstanding! The general manager, Danny, and the Events Director, Courtney, facilitated the organization and rollout of the party flawlessly. Courtney's response time and level of communication was exemplary and nothing was too much trouble. Our guests have been raving about the delicious food, the attentive and super helpful waitstaff, Corey and Meghan, and the welcoming ambiance. After a wonderful experience here in the fall for my brother's retirement luncheon, catering our Thanksgiving dinner, and an anniversary dinner, and now this most recent party, Mercato has become our go-to restaurant of choice. Well done, everyone!!
First time we went with friends when they just opened, service was bad, orders were wrong, but gave it a second try. Still wasn't good. Service wasn't good, food wasn't good. Definitely not going back...

Mercato Restaurant and Bar was such a wonderful experience! I attended a brunch there, and everything from the food to the atmosphere was perfect. The cuisine was so delicious—every bite was full of flavor, and the presentation was beautiful.
The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. Courtney, our host, was amazing! She made us feel so welcomed and truly took care of every detail.
I would absolutely recommend Mercato for any event or a nice day out. It was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to visit again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently hosted a brunch at Mercato Restaurant and Bar, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The cuisine was simply delicious—each dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor.
The staff was attentive and provided excellent service throughout the entire event. A special shoutout to Courtney and the Staff who made the day special. Courtney went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and her attentiveness made the experience unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a place with incredible food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Mercato. It’s the perfect spot for any special occasion or simply a great meal out!

You need to make a visit to this restaurant!!! You will not be disappointed! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing and the staff is great. They can accommodate a large group or the two of us enjoy sitting at the bar. Worth the trip!

Had a post funeral luncheon this past Saturday. Went to the main restaurant entrance and was greeted promptly and pleasantly by a young lady and a gentleman who directed me around the building to the catering entrance. Thanks for the mints for my journey. Really liked the separate more private entrance. Especially nice not to have to go through the main dining area. The private room was laid out beautifully, high ceilings very sunny. The buffet was presented very professionally. The food was delicious. My wife, her sisters, and mother picked a very traditional menu. Excellent chicken cutlet served parm style flavorful sausage and peppers. A baked ziti, a pretty mixed veg with seasonal cauliflower. The staff quickly responded to a vegan and non dairy request. A private bar was tucked into the corner. My wife's family was able to have a touching slide show of photos projected onto the back wall. But I have to be clear it was the service that truly made my experience and my tables experience fantastic. My wife 3 adult daughters and our guests loved the floating server, Corey. If you're catering a get together choose Mercato, location, parking, food, venue, etc all very very nice but request Corey. He brings the most joyous, professional, and just good vibes that I have ever seen. Thanks again to Mercato for providing a wonderful time after a dark few weeks and thank you to Corey for bringing a fantastic time for me, my family, and all the guest that had the pleasure of his service. How do you give more than 5 stars 🌟

We hosted our Christmas party at Mercato, and it was amazing from start to finish! The team went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The holiday decorations were beautiful, and the food and drinks were excellent. The staff was fantastic--so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Colleen Welsh

I promise, this review has a happy ending, even though I’m Karen and spoke to the manager.
Went to dinner before the movies on Sunday night. Wait staff was attentive, meal was served in a timely manner, but when the bill came, I was floored to see that two Belvedere martinis were $46! Charge $32 for 2 Beldevere (understandable upcharge), $4 for martini up, and $10 for olives?!?!?
We were in a rush to make our movie, so I paid and quickly left thinking that I would email about it on Monday. Went to use my credit card today…nowhere to be found. Called Mercato and sure enough, I left it there. Since I was speaking to Daniel, the GM, I figured I would ask about the charges.
Long story longer, they had a new computer system installed last week and the extra charges were a mistake. Daniel not only refunded the incorrect charges, but refunded the entire $46 for the round of drinks.
And the lovely bartender was very welcoming, offering some water while I waited. Again, very attentive service.

Service was good, but the food was absolutely awful! Went about 4:30 on Saturday and it was empty, that should have been our sign. Started with fried artichokes and they were tasteless and hard. I got the fettuccine primavera (garlic white wine) and it too lacked flavor (i had to add pepper flakes to give it flavor) and the veggies were scant, mostly just noodles. BF got the fish special, though he liked it, it was a very small portion and didn’t really fill him up. Half glass of wine $10 ! Dinner was over $100 and so not worth it !! We definitely won’t be back.
