- MMeganPhiladelphia County •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a great dinner on a quiet Thursday night. Our server (wish I remembered her name) was lovely; friendly and prompt. We started with the eggplant stackarini to share and it was sooooo tasty. I had the special pasta offering of the night, the spicy sausage orecchiette, and my friend had the braised short rib ravioli. Both were stellar. We finished with their in-house cannoli which was the perfect end to a all-around great meal. And who can beat BYOB?! Will be happy to return soon!More infoMercatoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Center City•4.6
