I really wanted to rate this place high, but all I can give is a 3.5 stars - sorry
I expected more from Mercato. Everything in my salad was super salty (felt like I was drinking sea water) , baked mussels were okay (could have been fresher - fun concept though ,the bread crumbs reminded me of the sand) and the pasta was alright (I've had much better homemade pasta's - to name one off the top of my head, one place from Calgary would be Teatro).
Definately didn't feel like I was back in Italy enjoying their simple fresh dishes...
To end it in a positive note, the latte was good and maybe the market will surprise me.
