    First time at Mercato. We were celebrating birthdays. We were welcomed in by a charming young woman and seated immediately. As my Grand Daughter and I were the first to arrive I had a few moments to speak with our server. Coincidentally this morning I looked at reviews and found that a previous customer had mentioned Allana as their server. So when she told me her name, I knew we were in good hands! We ordered mostly from the apps, which were delicious. Everything from the kitchen was hot and tasty. We tried the drink of the day, again delightful. I will definitely suggest Mercato in Canton CT as a new trendy choice for an amazing lunch! We even had food to take home. Thank you Allana for making our time so enjoyable!

    I don’t recall having such great service at a restaurant. Food was excellent and chef Dino is amazing and creative . He is so passionate and articulate about how he prepares his meals for his guests. After dinner we sat at the bar for a night cap and got to talk to some of the locals . It was like being in Italy. Hands down best Italian restaurant in Connecticut. We will be back !
