To celebrate my son’s arrival after his my son & his Fiance’. I am only giving 3 stars with all honesty. Food was a disappoint. The service was nice, location is good too. However the taste of the dishes was mediocre, Salty. Although the presentation was good. Importantly there was no pizza in an Italian restaurant menu.

Good, but expensive Italian restaurant. The tagliatelle was very good. The mushrooms were perfect and the spiciness of the sausage enhanced the dish. The papperdelle is even better. The affogato for dessert was great especially the house-made torrone gelato. The portions are large here.
Service was good even though only one server was handling everyone. The space is roomy and pleasant. They did not have Wi-Fi.
There was parking available right at the restaurant during a weekday lunch, but at times the lot can be full requiring parking at a distance.

I went here on a date with my boyfriend and was pleased with the aesthetic and service. Our waiter was Italian himself and was able to even explain which locations in Italy the dishes were from. I was impressed by his promptness, professionalism and kindness. The food was decent, although I do think my pappardelle noodles were a little on the thick side. Nonetheless, it was delicious. Laid back atmosphere, you could tell this place was a staple for local Lowry residents. I would definitely go back!

The food was delicious. Service was lovely. But the portions for the price were underwhelming. I may be a purist but no Italian restaurant should be charging $6 for a few tiny slices of bread and olive oil. We split a salad and pasta dish between 2 people and expected a bit more food for what we were paying. Like I said, all very delicious though!

First time dining here and it will not be my last!
A friend brought me here for the seafood. My salmon was awesome! And I’ve been thinking about the crème brûlee ever since. Would highly recommend.

Review Time!!
Went local for dinner.. this amazing Italian Restaurant is hidden and has never been a disappointment!!! When we want a fancy dinner and have a reason to splurge we come here! This place is Michelin Star worthy! Romatic vibe, indoors lit up by the fire brick oven and candles on every table. Indoor/Outdoor open concept onto their lovely out door patio. Neighborhood locals all over, walking to the across Biergarten, Airplane Museum or Ice Cream Shop and renting a Tandem bike riding around. Great vibe!! Our waiter Matt was so personable and hilarious. His customer service was impeccable!
Time for the food: We both decided to try something new this time, but my reason for going here is the memorable Gnocchi. I would drive hours to get this if I lived far. Best I’ve ever had! However, We started with a Bottle of Pinot Grigio ($44) and Bread w/Basalmic & Oil ($8). For Entreès We ordered the Braised Short Rib Ravioli in a Crimini Mushroom sauce ($24) and MY GOD if I ever imagined heaven in my mouth this IS IT!! We also ordered the Cioppino ($28) the brothy tomato sauce was so delicious, seafood so fresh and cooked to perfection. Nothing chewy or over cooked. Muscles, Clams, Octopus, Calamari, Shrimp and Fish danced in this broth with homemade spaghetti noodles. BOTH dishes so so so GOOD!! As if I could eat more, we finished with the Crème Brûlèe ($9)..
BEST CELEBRATION DINNER EVER!!!! Thank you to our waiter Matt for making it a great experience!!

This place ROCKS. Outstanding all around. Our waiter Gustavo was amazing. Great menu selection and reasonable prices. Grab a seat in front of the prep area/kitchen to see all the action and ingredients come alive. Some seriously talented chefs are at work!!

We haven’t been to a restaurant that met all our expectations in a while like Cafe Mercato! Celebrating a year of marriage and wanting a nice place to eat, this place exceeded our expectations! Great food, and our waitress Genie was absolutely delightful!

The meatballs! You have to try this place. Went during lunch and they did have a lunch menu. It was very quiet in the restaurant and our server was very good. Everyone at the table said their food was delicious, but the homemade meatballs in the gravy were to die for. I will definitely have to come back during dinner time.
