Mercato, in Italian, means market, where sellers and buyers can expect fresh bounty from local farms. If this was the intent of Mercato’s owners, they delivered with everything they served.
The ricotta toast appetizer with fig jam is unbelievably delicious. I can’t imagine not reordering it in the future.
The pork chop saltimbocca was a fine dish. The meat had a good sear and plenty of flavor, and the polenta it was served on was the best I’ve had in terms of texture and taste. Cooked spinach was the right accompaniment for balance.
My friend ordered the lasagna, which I also considered choosing, as it’s always an experience to try different chefs’ versions of this classic recipe. We agreed the addition of pesto to the sauce was appealing. A decent sized portion makes the serving more elegant than challenging. Still, as good as it was, he couldn’t quite finish it in addition to the ricotta toast app.
Pleasing new age music, high ceilings, gold upholstered booths along the dining area walls, a large center bar and windows looking out at the Canton Shoppes stores and traffic, make it an enjoyable place to have some exceptional food and/or drinks. Pizza and paninis are available, too, for a more casual meal.

I brought my 2 yr old here last night after seeing that another restaurant was permanently closed. Pleasantly surprised to see steak on the kids menu – it’s her favorite and was cooked perfectly. Our server was super nice to my toddler, which is sometimes hard to find. Great experience! Just wish there was a bit more light as the sun went down, and the music was a bit loud for our taste. Other than that, great experience!

Hands-down, the best restaurant experience I’ve had in memory.
One of the worst things about going out to eat is waiting for the food. You get hungry and therefore irritable, just sipping away at your water. Here, my girlfriend and I placed our orders, and were served in a matter of minutes. Not only that, we were given slices of garlic bread to tide us over beforehand.
The atmosphere was perfect — well-lit without being too bright, and beautifully decorated without being invasive.
The food was delicious, too, and the portions were very generous.
One thing that really stood out to me — I asked for water without ice, which is contrary to the norm. Rayna, the woman waiting our table, came over with an ice-filled pitcher, and then, remembering my request, carefully filled my cup, getting as few cubes in as possible. I was already very touched by that, but while my girlfriend and I were eating, she returned with a bottle of ice-free water, refilled my glass, and left the bottle at the table. I could have cried.
I’ve worked in food service before. It can be challenging, and while I never came to resent my job or customers, I wouldn’t blame anyone who might. But at Mercato, we were treated with incredible warmth and kindness.
After an appetizer and two dishes, our total was $65. In this economy, and for food this good and service this generous, that is an UNBELIEVABLY good price. (Brought up to $85, of course, because you should always tip your staff, and Rayna was phenomenal!)
All in all, it was perfect in every possible way, and I look forward to returning and telling my friends all about it.

This place is surprisingly good. Everything was delicious. The bread was served warm and buttery with an amazing olive oil and balsamic dip. Their entrees were delicious. The star was the short ribs- super tender, fall apart, and delightfully rich. Even the kid’s Mac and cheese was fantastic. Their pizzas are done beautifully and the dough has a nice chew. Kid friendly but nice enough to go out to for a date night.

Wonderful experience at the bar. Sat right away on a Friday night. Bartender and entire staff were very friendly and helpful. Mussels were great and the s’mores martini was delicious.

We went to Mercato’s to celebrate a birthday and we were all satisfied with the food and the staff. With the exception of the calamari appetizer, everyone liked their meals. The problem with the calamari was the way they put the sauce (spicy cherry pepper aioli) on the calamari and not as a side dish for dipping. Not everyone liked the sauce. I had the Little Gem Salad with Salmon for $28. I liked everything about the salad except for the (non) crispy onions which I took off). The staff was exceptional and went out of their way to help celebrate my daughter’s birthday with a surprise dessert cake and humongous sparkling candle! All in all a great memory. We would definitely go back.

What a great find! Exceeded expectations. The bread and balsamic a standout. Meatballs served over this magical polenta. Pork chop and chicken were also good. Service attentive. Decor and atmosphere layered and beautiful. We are hoping to return.

The food here was amazing. I had the chicken parm and my lovely bride had the lobster ravioli. Both were phenomenal. The mozzarella sticks as an appetizer we’re okay, I think they needed a little more seasoning, but they were good. The only negative would be the atmosphere. The room was hot, and the music was way too loud. If you’re looking for a hopping place to get together with friends, this may be for you. If you’re looking for a date night where you can have a conversation without yelling… maybe not. When the weather cools a bit we will try the patio, the music was much more reasonable there.

I love this place so much! We sat at the bar on a Tuesday afternoon and our bartender was amazing. He made sure everything was perfect during our whole stay. The place itself is beautiful and it makes you feel warm and cozy. Great job to the management.
