   Pasta is delicious but avoid the cannoli's for dessert. They taste like chalk.

   Sadly, in the past two years, this place has gone downhill. This past Friday night, the middle of my lasagna was frozen. When I told the wait staff i didn’t want it anymore, they grabbed it off the table and reheated the same piece, same plate, and returned it. No apology. I for sure thought maybe they would comp the meal or at least the lasagna. They did not. I will never go back.

   Horrible. 20 minutes for a drink order. Subpar food 50 minutes to get. Never checked on once. Great location. However, I would avoid at all cost

   Good food. Horrible service. We waited 15 minutes for wine after we placed our order. We received 2 wine lists and only one menu. The appetizer came out at same time as the entree.

   For some reason, service was very slow. Not sure if it was low staff or new personnel or preference to door dash meals. Not the usual experience in service that I have seen before from the restaurant. It was not an unusually busy night. Drinks were slow, Clean-up from table was slow, Attentionm to detail was lacking.

   Normally this place is great. Tonight was a horrible mistake on their part. We sat ignored for over 30 minutes and had to solicit someone to take our order. We were largely ignored for the remainder of the evening. The manager did nothing to ameliorate our experience and the food was salty. It’ll be a long time before I return to this place, if at all

   We ordered drinks. They never came. Then we tried to order apps and mentioned we hadn’t gotten our drinks and the guy mumbled about how it was the bartenders fault… then we didn’t get our apps either. We had a show to get to so after AN HOUR of terrible service, and no food or drinks, we left. This was the first time I’ve experienced this level of awful service. I’d give zero stars if I could.

   The food was great! I do recommend getting a table away from the grill.

    Cafe Mercato is our go to local Italian restaurant. We are always welcomed with a smile. Food is great every time. Full bar and great wine selection.
