Great service and good value but I do not recommend the new rockfish dish.

We had a great time at brunch. We were seated without a reservation quickly. I enjoyed the croissant French toast and my husband got the mushroom Brie omelette. We had Stella as our server and she was great. Really sweet, attentive and made the experience nice. Would recommend for brunch

Yeah this is great, you can have a great dinner here by yourself or take the family and order them a pizza!
Phil Zavala
Staff was attentive and friendly.

My main take away here is always of the feeling of heaviness and regret. The portions are enormous and so heavy handed with cream and cheese and fat. A very distant American version of Italian food. I wish there was less with greater focus on quality. I only come here because some of my family likes it
OKAY WONDERFUL
FIVE STARS!!!! THE CHEF WAS LIKE BATMAN!
great food, beautiful and well mannered staff, i work the graveyard shift so im only able to make it once a month, would it ever be possible, would you guys ever go full blown open 24/7? id be your number one customer
also i had a good interaction with the tall chef with the glasses and dark hair, ashley was really nice as well she was very helpful when i was in there today..
something kind of weird happened though ... chicken jockey!!!

Scrumptious food! Pizzas!! Drinks! Love this place, Mercato is one of our top place to eat at in Olympia.

Unfortunately, our recent visit to Mercado’s was very disappointing. It’s been three years since I last went, and it’s clear that a lot has changed. We were seated at a table for 20 minutes without any interaction from the staff. Despite the busy atmosphere, clear communication would have been appreciated.

What a delicious experience. We arrived here cold and hungry after a long day of fruitless work, and could not have come to a better place. The appetizers were tasty, the house made limoncello enticing and the chicken penne délectable. A dessert of bourbon bread pudding cast a spell on my heart, and compelles me to give an five star rating.
The polenta with mushroom gravy was amazing. So flavorful and creamy. I could have made a meal of it!!
The insalata mista was so fresh. Recommend to all if you prefer simple and fewer ingredients.
The steak salad used the same base as the Mista. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. I could have used more flavor.
Between the Radiatori and Rigatoni it was a tough call. One of us liked one better while another of us liked the other pasta. Both were delicious. I felt the Radiatori pasta was lighter.
This restaurant was quite willing to split plates without charging extra for that service. Nice touch. The salad and the pasta dishes had very generous portions.
Our deserts included a torte and bread pudding. My favorite was the bread pudding but both were excellent.
I can’t forget the limoncello. It was homemade in store and was so light and tasty. Three of us tasted it and enjoyed the flavor.
Now the few negatives. The bread service while complementary was cold bread with olive oil. Nice touch to be free but to take it over the top, heat the bread. Two of us had water but the server never replenished the water. Server gave two of us the wrong pasta. We couldn’t tell the difference between them and started eating the wrong dish. Front of the house needs to be more aware of people with wheelchairs!!! It was a BIG struggle to get in and out!!! Be more aware!!!!!
Still, I recommend this place!!!

Good little spot in Olympia. Had great service. Did not have to wait for a table at noon. I had a mista salad and the eggplant. It was very good.
