Mercato Mission - Restaurant

Tiramisu to die for

Before we get to the food - I need to point out that the service was incredible. Not only did Meagan give us great suggestions on the dishes and wine - she was super vigilant with what we needed, when we needed it. Super professional. I’d give her a raise if I could Now for the food: Started with the beef carpaccio—thin slices of Alberta beef topped with crispy shallots, capers, arugula, mustard aioli, and Parmigiano Reggiano. It was light, savoury, and full of different textures I always get focaccia at every Italian restaurant and this housemade focaccia came out warm, perfectly salted and seasoned with oregano. And of course the olive oil and balsamic vinegar paired with it was incredible Then came the gigli pasta—rich and comforting, with Calabrese sausage, nduja butter, a hint of lemon, and cream, finished with Parmigiano. The rosticciano—pork ribs grilled with herbs and vinegar, served with red onion, sweet pepperonata, and toasted pine nuts. And we finished the meal off with an decadent double chocolate cake and a glass of rosso vino

Complete disappointment. Me and my family are foodies. We travel around the world and love to try food everywhere. We were super excited to eat at this restaurant based on the reviews, our expectations were good! Sadly it started with the waiters being rude and completely ignorant, like they were doing us a favor bringing the food or taking the order. I mean I understand we had 12 people but we sat at 3 different tables to make it easier. We ordered appetisers: polpo, carpaccio and bruschetta. The bruschetta was delicious hands down. Polpo and carpaccio was a fail. Not enough flavor and freshness. We also ordered: gnocchi, linguine, pappardelle, tagliatelle and few more pastas and tagliatelle was the only one that was good. I mean This place is a FAIL mostly and not worth it he price or experience:( Our bill was close to $800 I do not recommend this place.

First time here and have to say it lives up to everyone’s recommendation! The food was amazing and the service was great! Perfect place for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend trying the bruschetta - it was the perfect refreshing appetizer on a hot summer day! Will definitely be coming back here to try more of the menu.

I really wanted to like Mercato…service was friendly and the atmosphere is nice but the food just didn’t live up to the hype. I had the seafood linguine, gnocchi and the bruschetta platter, and all dishes were surprisingly bland. For the cost, I expected more flavor and quality. It wasn’t terrible, just really underwhelming. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed and like it wasn’t worth what I paid.

Loved this place. Amazing atmosphere of a restaurant with an italian grocery section. Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend their Carpaccio, caprese salad, gnocchi and the chicken Service was attentive too

Great food and even better service. Megan did a great job at walking me through the menu and ensuring my dietary restrictions would be accommodated. Well priced and healthy portion sizes. Cannot wait to return.
