Mercato

4.8 · 5 reviews · $$

Mercato infuses slow cooking traditions of Old World Italy with an experimental style and bold take on new Italian-American cuisine, placing primary importance on using ingredients that are at their peak that day. Enjoy appetizers such as the whole grilled artichoke or the Mercato antipasti, a plate to share that includes Italian cured meats, mozzarella, tomato, and grilled and marinated vegetables. Entrees change to reflect the season monthly and weekly, if not daily. Enjoy a traditional meal of beef, pork, and veal bolognese with homemade pappardelle or the favorite – lobster and shrimp “pyramid” pasta with asparagus and parmesan brown butter sauce. Mercato is a cash-only BYOB, open seven days a week; Monday through Thursday, from 5 to 10:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, from 5 to 11p.m., and Sunday from 5 to 10pm. We’re located at 1216 Spruce Street in Philadelphia – just two blocks east of the Avenue of the Arts.Mercato infuses slow cooking traditions of Old World Italy with an experimental style and bold take on new Italian-American cuisine, placing primary importance on using ingredients that are at their peak that day.

Nice vicinity with delicious meals, in particular the ribs and sausages, the location could be very calm so you can chat with friends even as ingesting.

Mercato is one of my default place to go to when guest are in town or i just want a good meal. I had have everything on their menu before, and I must honestly say that I haven't come across something I don't like. Yes, the service can sometime be hit or miss, so is the hostess. But the food is what keep me from coming back. Seriously, give it a try, you will not be disappoint!
