We went to the restaurant with high expectations because it was highly recommended. The food was terrible, the star dish which is the eggplant parmesan were nothing else but stewed eggplant in tomato sauce . The pasta sauce were a canned tomatoes pasta sauce with lots of capers... not a real recently cooked meal.Don't bother going there if you really want a taste of Italian food.
What an amazing small restaurant!! all homemade YUMMY food and wonderful ambiance!! An absolute must if you are in the Hollywood, Florida!!
Everything tasted great. Grilled artichokes, Pappardelle mushroom, and Lamb rack. Great service.
We have been going there for several years and they never disappoint with food or service. So glad they were able to stay in business during the pandemic. They are a jewel.
Delicious italian food and a very friendly staff. ??
Food portions were small, service was slow, food was okay, not worth the hype.
Always delicious. Always attentive. Always fresh...the putanesca is my favorite....
The food was excellent as was the service. I applaud them for making the most of the space around them, it reminded me of the pop up restaurants in the evening on the streets in French villages. It would be great if there were a way to create a little more ambience outside but the new chairs are so much more comfortable. Thanks
Great Food
So I finally had the chance to have dinner at Mercato last night with my sister, baby niece, brother in-law and friends. First the cook Emily cooks very well, I had the fish of the day that was grilled to perfection, the dish came with roasted potatoes and sauteed spinach, it was delicious. The owner(Emily´s husband) was so kind and friendly. We had a great bottle of rioja wine. I will definitely return(I hope) to try the pastas. This place is a true hidden gem, which usually are the best places to eat
