The sit-down experience at Mercato is unlike any other sit-down experience you may or may not have had. And that goes whether you're at the surrounding Italian style counter, or your own personal table. Everything you order here is made fresh, using ingredients from our market. The open kitchen atmosphere (with our big Italian stoves front and centre) is loud and vibrant.When you dine at Mercato, interaction with our chefs and other customers is as common as the bread and oil you'll find at your table. Mercato West does have both the Restaurant and the Pizzevino available for two different dining experiences. The Pizzevino is open for walk-ins only and does not take reservations. The Restaurant is open daily at 5:30pm and reservations are recommended. more... See more text

I had the worst experience today. Ordered a dish and did not like it at all, had one bite only. Paid full amount. Poor hospitality. No one followed up with me as I sat with the family and had no dinner. The dish was not well prepared by chef. I did not expect this from a restaurant like this. Seriously when you are with family and experience something like this it's not good. Greatly disappointed !

The social-distancing required by Covid rules impacted the atmosphere. Fewer tables, plexiglass partitions, masked employees, fewer places at food bar, etc.

The ambiance was beautiful. The covid mandated separation between tables has been done artfully and blends right in to make an elegant private dining experience. The service was fantastic and the food just keeps us coming back but was amazing and plentiful. Staff are well versed with wine pairings an amazing evening. We will be back soon!!
