I had such a great experience at Mercato Italian Kitchen & Bar. The vibe was warm, inviting, and perfect for a night out. The service truly stood out. Christian was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations that did not disappoint. The crispy eggplant was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked with great flavor and texture. And the s’mores martini? So good. The perfect sweet treat to top off the night. I’ll definitely be back!

Impressed! Enjoyed a wonderful meal and compliment the environment! Sat in a corner round table for a party of five catching up with friends and able to have conversation without background noise! Service was prompt and pleasant. The bread was a perfect start with oil and roasted garlic to dip. Octopus is a challenge at some locations, but very well prepared and flavorful. The brussels app was almost a meal in of itself. Highly recommend the Ricotta gnocchi, pillow of pure joy in a short rib ragu. Looking forward to return to try more of menu!

I ordered takeout tonight from this place. One order of chicken parm and one order of spaghetti and meatballs. When we opened up our containers we were highly disappointed. First off the “spaghetti and meatballs” is literally just 1 singular meatball in spaghetti. No cheese, no seasoning, and one meatball. The chicken parm crust was pealing right off the chicken rather than being stuck on. The sauce had no flavor and the pasta is watery. We both are extremely disappointed paying $57 for takeout for something that looks and tastes like it was made in a hospital cafeteria.

Really nice place. Pizza choice was great. Simple menu. Our appetizer octopus looked nothing like pictures we had seen. Didn't even have the sucker buttons on. it was very overcooked too. Wings were good. And pizza. My martini drink didn't have graham Cracker as advertised. Everyone was very nice and attentive.
