Stumbled across this place the other night while looking for a different restaurant and boy am I glad we decided to stop and feed my Italian food craving. This is the 2nd Mercator location I've been to and again, I am impressed.
I'll start off by saying that their kitchen was almost closed, but they seated us anyway and still provided us service with a full smile on their face and a great sense of humour.
SERVICE: 5/5 seated promptly and attentive without being overbearing. Knowledgeable with menu and wine pairing. Very helpful with selections on menu.
ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 Ambience was great, Crowd was smart business casual.
DRINK: 4/5 standard wine list and beer selection
FOOD: 4/5 would go back just for the prosciutto appetizer a salad and glass of wine. The gnocchi fritti went so well with fresh shaved prosciutto and shaved parmigiana .. The pasta however could use a bit more work in terms of flavour and temperature .. I was expecting a little more flavour from the duck ravioli, however the honey mushrooms were delicious. Their lasagna was delicious too, however, the sauce was a bit cold on the plate and it is vegetarian- probably our fault for not checking first.. but it was still good nonetheless.
I would defiantly return just to have that appetizer though.. and to try the other menu items.
Great job Locale Mercatto and staff!
