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 !
Looking forward to our next visit.

A fabulous evening. Would like to first thank Oli who greeted us while cleaning the outside sidewalk, opened the door and welcomed us. He served us on the market side, was funny and personable. He arranged for us to get a booking on the other side and Jason took over from there. Jason was great, checked in to ensure everything was up to standards. Great social awareness giving us space to enjoy the night. Food was absolutely fantastic, came specifically for the steak and did not disappoint. Working in the industry I am extremely impressed with this location. Thank you! We will be back.

Thanksgiving is all about family, friends and comfort food, and what cuisine is more social and comforting than Italian? Upscale in a cheerful and accessible way, Mercato West on 85th Street Southwest serves big, bold Italian dishes. Expect expertly crafted rustic Italian food in a sociable setting made for sipping wine and sharing food. The restaurant’s open kitchen is part of the fun as you watch succulent steak (try the bistecca alla fiorentina) and whole fish grilled to perfection and house-made pastas prepared with flair. Open Saturday and Sunday, Thanksgiving weekend.

View this Smart ListIn true Italian style, the Mercato dinner menu is created with shared plates in mind. For example, dig into some bruschetta or a caprese salad made with buffalo mozzarella, then tear into the tiger prawn risotto. The restaurant’s two locations (Fourth Street Southwest as well as 85th Street Southwest) each feature a market stcoked with fine Italian foods.
