 eing an Italian venue, it's appropriate that the name of this restaurant translates into marketplace in English. The market has always been synonymous with Italian cuisine, which explains the popularity of the fresh cuisine that Calgarians fiend for on a nightly basis. The open-kitchen concept allows salivating patrons to eagerly watch their dinner be prepared before their eyes, or take recluse on the wonderful patio to dine al fresco in the early evening air. Accordingly, the aromas of garlic, basil, rosemary and an assortment of Italian herbs and coffees travels with you outside – a majore tease for passersby (probably explains the jam-packed atmosphere too). Book a reservation or be left standing in line while the tempting scents of Italian cuisine waft by.

2 Reader Reviews | Excellent food at Mercato! Everything was fresh and very tasty. The service was initially quite slow, but got better as the meal progressed. I will be returning for another meal!
