    This was our first time at Mercato. The bruschetta was very good as was the tagliatelle. We will definitely be back.

    Food and service is always great. The interior is starting to show its age but the lack of ambience is made up by the food.

    We shared a pasta dish and the roast chicken, both were done to perfection. Our server had such enthusiasm for the food - making our selections easy. For a lunch in the middle of the week, the noise level made having a business lunch a little distracting. I'd recommend this as the ideal spot to bring family & friends.

    Excellent service A bit disappointed in Caprese, quality of tomatoes could have been better Pasta a bit bland. New recipe for Tiramisu not my favourite. Still a great place to go for lunch!

    decided to choose mercato as our special anniversary dinner after many people recommended it, made a note of it being our anniversary when i made the reso but unfortunately there was no acknowledgment of our anniversary by any of the workers got the bruschetta (wasn’t my favourite, 1 was just cherry tomatoes, the one that was similar to hummus was very salty and overpowering, the octopus one we both didn’t really like, personally could only take a bite and i am a big seafood person myself), the tagliatelle was good if you want something quite simple but i didn’t think it was anything amazing, the bistecca was recommended to us by many people and although it was good, i also didn’t find it to be outstanding like others say, the potatoes were good but would’ve preferred them to be a little smaller and more crispy, tiramisu was good too tables are quite close together so my boyfriend did feel like he had to slightly move out of the way when servers passed by overall i was just slightly disappointed that no one mentioned our anniversary considering they ask about special occasions when booking a reso but also can’t expect too much either

    Date night March 30th: We have been to Mercato several times over the last 12 years and always order the grilled rib steak. As expected it was cooked to perfection, presentation visually appealing but quality of meat was sub-standard. Gristle throughout. We mentioned it at the end of the meal , apology received but we left disappointed.
