“We finally made it to Mercato, and wish we would have gone earlier! The restaurant is very small and quaint, which can make it feel a little crowded, but it made it more quiet and romantic too. The service was great, and our server was very knowledgeable about the wines, and helped out pick out a great one. The bread was delicious to start. I ordered the chicken Marsala and it was the perfect light sauce but flavorful, I thought it was simply delicious. My husband got the black pepper fettuccine and really enjoyed it as well. We finished dinner with coffee and limoncello, and thought both were super delicious. One thing to note is that they open at 5:30 and (to my understanding) don't take reservations so if you'd like to eat later, it can get tricky with timing. We will definitely be back!“
“Busy restaurant with limited seating. We got there 15 minutes after opening on a Friday and it was already packed with Cornell students. Large wine selection but very limited beer or soft drinks. I had the tomato pie which was slightly more burnt than desired. My partner had the giardino which looked much better (less burnt). Overall it was good, but there is a lot of hype.Vegetarian options: Many dishes are vegetarian, meat dishes are clearly labeled. Not many options for vegans or dairy free crowd.Dietary restrictions: Tomato pie is vegan, menu claims to be able to have vegan cheese as a substitute for the pizzas.“
