Checked this place out on a sunday night. We were seated right away. Place is clean, staff are very friendly and approachable . Food was so so delicious! Fresh pasta and pizzas! All made to order. The desserts were also bomb! A little on the pricey side but everything was worth the price! Definitely a new favorite spot!

Pizzeria Mercato has become our goto location where you just know youll always have great food and excellent service. Their Neapolitan style pizza is to die for, as are their pastas. The people are always warm and friendly, and even gave our little one a quick pizza making workshop!
