Combining the slow-prep traditions of old world Italian cooking with the edgy culinary experimentalism of contemporary cuisine, Mercato is an elegant yet affordable restaurant with historic charm to boot. Located in the former Camac Food Market building, which stood vacant for decades, the restaurant is focused on celebrating tradition in a progressive environment—with an added emphasis on fresh picked and prepared ingredients every day. Try the whole grilled artichoke for a starter or share the vast selection of cheeses and meats set forth on the antipasti platter. Move on to the ever-rotating entrees or one of the homemade pasta dishes—and make sure to save room for one of the homemade desserts. The restaurant is BYOB and accepts cash only, so come prepared.
