I love Mercato! But I gave the food a 4 because the salmon was way over cooked on my very amazing salad despite that. ?

Very disappointing.We came in with friends: our group consisted of 4 adults & 2 kids and 1 baby.It took about 20 min before the waiter came to ask for our drinks. My friend and I ordered lemonade basil. Drinks came out and it was just plain ole lemonade.It took another 20 minutes before the waiter came back to ask for our orders. I ordered the shrimp tagliatelle. My pasta was hard and clumpy. The waiter came to check on us about 20 min after the food came out. At that point I had eaten a good portion of the pasta and didn’t say anything because I knew if he went back to the kitchen for another plate, I would die of hunger (Yes, I am exaggerating. But I was at the point of hangry and I didn’t want to complain in front of friends.)Service was meh and food was horrible. I give 1 star for their gelato/ice cream.The restaurant was very busy that Friday night so it makes me wonder if what happened to us was typical or not. That being said, my first impression was horrible and I wouldn’t want to try again.

It's a pretty average Italian place. The food isn't horrendous, but the portions are small. The staff is friendly and prompt.

Food is great and service is attentive. However, i am part of a professional group that meets here monthly andnhas for several years. Our standing reservation was bumped, without notice, for a legislative group.

The apps, salata and mains were good; pasta was very good, hot and well portioned. The only clinker was the bread pudding with only average taste and barely discernable portion. Service was friendly, but was oddly both intrusive and slow. No vegetarian options that I could see. Still, well worth another visit.

If you get ANYTHING here it HAS to be the bread pudding. I absolutely despise bread pudding and similar deserts and this bread pudding is the best thing I’ve ever had. If I was dying, their penne & the bread pudding would be my last meal. 100/10

My fiance took me on a date night here it was very cozy. The waitress was really nice, the food was amazing. I had the shrimp pasta, my fiance had pasta with chicken, and the bread was really really good! Also we had a chocolate dessert I forgot what it was called but the texture in the flavors were out of this world. It was almost like a cheesecake texture but then it had a vanilla mousse or House whip cream or something. It was so freaking good! definitely get the chocolate dessert!

Server was a little distracted... there were 4 of us but only 3 settings. When we asked for a 4th, he forgot the 4th water. There were other lapses in attention. We were never offered bread although there were bread plates on the table. Food was good, but waiter was having an off day. Still worth it and we will go back.

Food looked better than it tasted. Had really good eye appeal, but had to add salt, pepper, and chili flakes. My pork dish had cold vegetables. The bourbon bread pudding was to die for though! Would only go back for dessert.

I enjoyed dinner here with friends. I appreciate we were seated at 8:30 when they close at 9. Food didn't take long coming out and service was polite.
