Wow. In a city of every type of cuisine and at any hour, Mercato stands out. Ambiance was cozy and warm. Staff was attentive and friendly. The food was the star, from our apps of carpaccio and grilled octopus, to our four pasta choices; and finally the tiramisu and fried risotto balls.This place deserves their accolades. Simple yet complex flavors presented in each item and each course. Try it for yourself!

Because of its location, this is a solid choice before seeing a show. Service was friendly and attentive. I got the sense chef is not afraid to experiment. In general, I really enjoyed the flavors. We shared deep-fried artichokes, carpaccio, and fave e cicoria (fava beans with chicory). I would not have ordered fava beans and chicory, but it was well worth the experience.For my main course, I had one of the daily specials, a lamb ragu with pasta. Also, I had a cocktail and a glass of wine. We were a group of three and my share was about $90 including tax and tip. Overall, this was a good value considering price, service, and quality. I would easily return.

Nice quaint place. Food was spot on. Small boutique restaurant- I really enjoyed the food here. Loved the calamari, shrimp and cod fish appetizer- great combo. The burrata was fresh and tasty. Sorry my pics came out all blurry.

What a gem. Food is excellent! Small, little Italian spit. If you like a quaint restaurant with good wine and food stop by Mercato. Mushroom pasta is such a delight with a light sauce. They offer mixed cocktails as well as wine.

Good food and service - came here for lunch for the holidays with a group. They can get quite busy here so best to know what you want especially with a big group. Menu: plenty of options to select from - there is something for everyone. The homemade ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta was nice and light but filling given we were all going to eat again in a couple of hours. Everyone enjoyed their dishes - including the fettucine with wild mushrooms, homemade, spaghetti, gnocchi, and grilled salmon. portions may look small but they are filling.Nice space for groups in the back and glad they were able to accommodate same day reservation for lunch. Will definitely come back to try other dishes..

With zero prior knowledge, and it being picked by a savvy teammate, we went to Mercato last night. I was thrilled to see a Michelin Star rating and all I could think of was the show, The Bear. For some reason I equated this to a magical experience. Mercato did not disappoint, and I'll start with the wait staff. They were attentive and the dishes were fired with great timing, and the staff was properly attentive. A host of Italian standards and some a bit more funky, the menu has lots of options - but not too many. We narrowed it down to the beef carpaccio and the eggplant parm special to start. They served bread with oil loaded with capers, which was a nice touch of difference versus a chain Italian basic. For my main dish, I ordered the malloreddus al sugo di cinghiale (homemade sardinian cavatelli with braised wild boar ragu). Taking a risk, as I'm not one to usually get wild / game meats. The tiny cavatelli were beautiful, the wild boar ragu was dark and subtle. A fresh shredded bit of Parmesan goodness made it pop! I ordered a shareable side of fingerling potatoes which were solid, and not overly salted. For dessert, I ordered a shareable portion of tiramisu, which was gorgeously silken and a perfect treat.

Came on a Saturday night and had a reservation for 6:30Pm we waited about 15 minutes after the 6:30PM reservation to be seated. Our server Roberta was excellent, the food was bland and the ambiance was excellent. Just wished the food was better. We shared four appetizers Rucola, carciofini fitti, salsiccia E patate and the Polpo E patate. One major flaw was the sausage looked and tasted exactly like breakfast sausage long and thin. I've been to Italy and I have never seen this type of sausage throughout all of Italy. We had the The salmon and even though the menu states Chicory, it was spinach. The fettucine and mushrooms and the cavatelli with wild boar. The wine we ordered was good and at a fair price Nero di troia Botromagno. I really wanted to like this place as the service and ambiance was above average for sure but the food just missed totally.

I ordered the Linguine AI Frutti DI MARE. It had mussels,Calamari,shrimp,and clams, with a spicy tomato sauce. I started off with real Italian bread, unlike the other bread I was served at other restaurants . The bread was delicious, however the capers and oil had no real flavor.The pasta with fish was very good. It was loaded with fish and very tasty. I got extra bread to mop up the sauce at the end. The sauce had a nice fish flavor and was not spicy . It's a small cozy restaurant.
