The food was excellent as was the service. I applaud them for making the most of the space around them, it reminded me of the pop up restaurants in the evening on the streets in French villages. It would be great if there were a way to create a little more ambience outside but the new chairs are so much more comfortable. Thanks

So I finally had the chance to have dinner at Mercato last night with my sister, baby niece, brother in-law and friends. First the cook Emily cooks very well, I had the fish of the day that was grilled to perfection, the dish came with roasted potatoes and sauteed spinach, it was delicious. The owner(Emily´s husband) was so kind and friendly. We had a great bottle of rioja wine. I will definitely return(I hope) to try the pastas. This place is a true hidden gem, which usually are the best places to eat

My husband and I have dined at Il Mercato before and always had a good experience, so it was an easy choice for our Valentines Day dinner. Unfortunately, the service was lacking on this recent experience. Staff seemed overwhelmed; my husband ordered the eggplant — nope, sold out; the ravioli — nope, sold out; then the grouper special — nope, also sold out. He ended up with the rigatoni bolognese which was just underwhelming. My pappardelle was ok as was the chickpea salad. We had to ask for bread and grated parm for our pasta. Just an overall lackluster experience on what was meant to be

IL Mercato has a friendly and personable staff. The service is impeccable, the restaurant and bathrooms are very clean. This place is a gastronomic experience. It's a wonderful feeling, when you realize, that the kitchen contains a complexity that exceeds the functional fact of feeding. It provides the art of good eating and drinking. The pleasure of taste and the balance between human beings and the products of nature. I will not share all the dishes I've tried. Those are my choices. :) Venture on your own and be delighted

Hands down - this has to be the BEST authentic Italian wine bar and bistro around! We come here every time we visit and usually 2x because yes IT IS that good!! It’s recommended by the locals so that says something. And most of the families/friends dining while we’re there are speaking Italian. The owners are hands-on, spot-on, some of the nicest people around and eager to please. It’s obvious, the pride and joy they put into their restaurant.
