Mercato Mission - Restaurant

They ask you when you book is it a special occasion. We write yes and what it is. Then you get there and nothing! No cake, tiny muffin, coffee nothing
Why do you even ask then?
Need better ventilation! Very smoky while we are! Left with very watery sore eyes. And normal complaints there! Too loud. Food is very good! Broccoli over done but overall food is very tasty

Wonderful establishment! Very cozy! Everything is fresh and tasty! The portions are large and filling! A wonderful combination of spices and revealing the flavors of the dishes. The mushrooms were over-salted, but the pasta and ribs were perfect Excellent service, they will tell you everything, explain everything, take a photo and just wonderful people!

Professional and courteous service but the restaurant was filled with smoke. It was stuffy and smokey which made it uncomfortable. Our clothes and jackets smelled of smoke from the kitchen, worse than a poorly ventilated korean bbq restaurant.

I'm a huge foodie and love trying new restaurants. In my opinion this restaurant is one of the best in Calgary. Portion & the food is 5 stars. If you're looking for a place to try this place is a must! The vibes are fun and lively. I always tell my friends to go here as it truly is one of the best places I've dined in.

The only thing is I wish it was bigger so there is always room for walk-ins.

Food was delicious, my favs were the polpo, paradelle and bistecca. Server was attentive and friendly even though they seemed a little short staffed. I knocked off a star for atmosphere as it was a bit loud for my liking and the tables were really tightly situated. Overall, great experience and will definitely return again.

One of my favourite Italian restaurants (I'm Italian so I don't say that lightly) authentic staff who also speak Italian and sauce that tastes just like Nonna made it. Highly recommend

A wonderful dining experience sitting at the bar watching the chefs and engaging with the very friendly and professional staff and nearby patrons. Food was delicious and portions were very generous. One of the best!

Always an excellent experience. Great service and consistent food quality. Tasty entrees - Bistecca is the perfect half-size for 2.

Imagine poor service. The server thought he was doing us a favor. He forgot to order my plate and my wife's.
He was very arrogant. I certainly wouldn't recommend this restaurant and we won't be returning.

One of my favorite restaurants in Calgary. Amazing food and service.

My husband and I come here every year for our anniversary dinner.

What a lunch we had at Mercato. Seriously good eats and a vibe that’s chill yet on point. Staff? Professional and easy-going. This place is legit.

Great food there, sitting and watching the chefs cook is always fun to do. Nice assortment of food to share with friends when you go.

For the most part, I have had exceptional service there except one time and the manager took care of it right away, I didn't even ask as he saw it, and addressed and made sure my next time there was enjoyable.

If you like an assortment of things to try out, bring some friends there. Great Italian food to all try together.

Can get a little loud in there depending on when you go, and reservations are recommended.

Went to Mercato with a girlfriend and had a relatively nice dinner, our server was very kind, the atmosphere was great. However, almost as soon as we departed, I began feeling sick and recall discussing that the pana cotta we got for dessert tasted a little funny. Neither of us were very well versed in the dessert itself, so we didn’t think much of it. Over the course of the next 2 full days, I was sick to my stomach. I had actually never before had such bad food poisoning. I called the restaurant multiple times the following morning and left a message for the manager of the restaurant and received no call back. For a highly reviewed, relatively high end restaurant, I’m thoroughly disappointed.

Wow. What an incredible experience. Perfect for groups of 4 or more as the dishes are family style. The Ribeye is melt in your mouth. The service is the best of the best. I will be back for future celebrations.

Fantastic meal with exceptional and professional service. Food was excellent. Wine recommendation was sublime.
