" After hearing so much about Café Mercato, I decided to take my family there for a special dinner. The ambiance set the perfect tone for our gathering. Sadly, my dish was quite salty, which ruined what could have been a wonderful experience. The rest of my family enjoyed their meals, but I was quite upset. The service was good, and we were accommodated quickly, but the flavor issue disappointed me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem! I was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. The arancini appetizer was just perfect; crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My main course was the lasagna, which had the most flavorful meat sauce. We ended with the tiramisu, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! The staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. I'll absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best experiences I've had at an Italian restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting with thoughtful decor. I ordered the mushroom risotto, and it was creamy and rich, which I loved. Our server was very attentive and genuinely friendly. I can't wait to go back and try their homemade pasta dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" An enjoyable evening! I found the caprese salad and pasta dishes particularly delightful. The restaurant had a nice crowd, but it still felt intimate. Our server was attentive, and we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. I'll definitely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Café Mercato last week, and while the food was nice, I found the prices a bit on the higher side for what you receive. I ordered the pappardelle with braised beef. It tasted good, but the portion was quite small. The service was attentive, though, and the ambiance was pleasant. Overall, a good meal, but I'm not sure it’s worth the price tag. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very disappointing. The meals were lackluster, and the prices did not justify the quality. My alfredo was watery and bland. The server was inattentive, and we felt forgotten. I won’t be returning again after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here based on a friend's suggestion. The chef clearly knows how to cook Italian, but the service could use some improvement. I felt neglected at times, but the food definitely made up for it. The pasta dishes were delicious, although I do wish the portions were larger. " (*Curated Review*)
