   Overall a lovely and delicious meal. We started with a grilled peach flatbread and meatballs to share. The meatballs definitely stole the show, super flavorful and fork tender. However my life was forever changed by the braised short rib ravioli....it was like be transcended to a different world of flavor. Mind you every dish was excellent, but it was by far the best Italian dish I've ever had. Even my family all lamented not ordering it afterwards. Highly recommend!

   We dined at Mercato on a beautiful evening, so the windows were open to street. This created a lot of noise, but it was a fun, bustling atmosphere. The food was fabulous. The roasted Caesar salad was delicious with chunks of bacon/ham and roasted peppers differentiating it from the norm. The braised short rib ravioli were also delicious and not too heavy. I would go there again.

   The mussels are ten out of ten. The ricotta was great as well.

   It might’ve just been a busy time for the staff but upon arrival, we waited 5-10min (with a reservation) to be seated - before being told to simply go sit down at one of two end tables. No glasses for our wine, water or menus. We waited an additional 10min for our server to come, who then realized that we didn’t have anything. This set a really sour tone for the rest of the evening, which was otherwise alright.

   Lovely table by the open winds on a spring evening. Food was excellent and great service. Street traffic was a little heavy on Saturday evening but that is to be expected. They had outside seating as well.

   The food was amazing as usual! We have been here prior and recommend it to anyone who wants really good Italian! It can be a little packed and close to one another but it fits the small footprint of the restaurant.
