Mercato Italian Restaurant

MERCATO.  A Classic Italian Restaurant featuring live Jazz music!

Buona Sera! Your table is waiting. Settle into a plush leather booth downstairs or ascend an illuminated staircase to the serene elegance of seating upstairs under the dome. Or, join us at the long, European inspired marbled bar, bathed in the golden glow of deco chandeliers, where you can start the evening with Martinis, Bellinis and Italian-Inspired Handcrafted Cocktails while listening to the finest in live jazz.

MERCATO provides the colorful setting for an intriguing blend of Italian regional culinary styles. The restaurant's two levels are framed by richly-hued Venetian plaster walls, and the banquets and chairs are covered with Italian leather in the same browns and Tuscan reds. A 1950's Italian chandelier hanging from the dramatically-domed second-floor ceiling illuminates a menu designed to appeal to those in the mood for specialties of the house including:

~ Local Shrimp and Blue Crab Risotto with Sauteed Leaks and Sweet Corn ~
~ Housemade Potato Gnocchi with Sausage & Fennel Ragu ~
~ Pork Osso Bucco over Anson Mills Creamy Polenta
with a Citrus Gremolata & Natural Pork Jus ~
~ Pizza with delicious toppings such as Prosciutto and Arugula or Sausage & Peppers ~

Our regular guests also know that our Chef’s daily additions are certain to create a memorable evening for those who can't get enough of the classics. We proudly support the local farmers and fisherman and are committed to providing the freshest seasonally-inspired dishes utilizing these local and sustainable ingredients.
