Mercato opened its doors in 2010, a creation of Fabio Camardi who wanted to recreate the family-style cuisine of his birthplace in southern Italy, Taranto, after researching old school recipes helped by his mother Francesca and several other experts. Apulia’s Mediterranean cuisine has been the inspiration for a big part of the menu at Mercato. Fabio and Emanuel Concas (Executive Chef) as well as the rest of the crew at Mercato are constantly working to create a unique experience of Italian cuisine and hospitality in the heart of Hells’s Kitchen.
“I love this place I’m in sight in the city and I come almost every day to eat here... the divine food and the attention of all its workers is spectacular”
“6.1.26 my 1st time. Dinner was delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive. Back room was a little dark. Overall a fabulous experience. The cod was perfection. The bread and capers hit the spot. The wine selection is wow, wow, wow. And you must try the Nutella cheesecake with a cappuccino. Yum.”
“Wish I knew the ladies name, but she was the bartender and server for us. We weren't expecting to have a dinner here but im sure glad we did. The food ,the cocktails, the atmosphere it was all perfect. Ill be coming here everytime I come back to new york. My Moscow Mule 10/10”
“The ingredients they use here are very fresh. The vegetables remind me of the way Chinese vegetables are cooked. Everything was delicious. From the cheese and vegetable special to the tiramisu. The ice cream is made in house and the staff are very friendly. It feels like a lovely home.”
“4.3 / 5 is a well deserved score. Authentic Italian charm. Has Michelin recommendations from 2010-2015 on the walls. Tables are cute older wood. Short and tight, and seats are benches with a thin cushion. Atmosphere when busy is fun. When empty, it’s a bit dry, but has charm. Food. Hit and miss. -Polpette (meatballs) skip -Fried Mistura (Calamari, Shrimp, Cod) was - good. Tomato sauce bland. -Arugala / Bresaola - decent, thick cheese, but refreshing -Polpo - octopus, absolutely the BEST -Sausage and Potatoes (Skip, breakfast sausage) -cavateli pasta with pork ragu - underwhelming and worst size pasta ever for texture and visuals) - special fish dish (oratta - like a branzino but not) with capers and lemon butter and cauliflower. But dry and lacklustre. - braised beef ragu dinner was decent. Some people liked with me, others no. After all, fun, busy experience. I liked it but wouldn’t go back.”
