Café Mercato

Review Time!! Went local for dinner.. this amazing Italian Restaurant is hidden and has never been a disappointment!!! When we want a fancy dinner and have a reason to splurge we come here! This place is Michelin Star worthy! Romatic vibe, indoors lit up by the fire brick oven and candles on every table. Indoor/Outdoor open concept onto their lovely out door patio. Neighborhood locals all over, walking to the across Biergarten, Airplane Museum or Ice Cream Shop and renting a Tandem bike riding around. Great vibe!! Our waiter Matt was so personable and hilarious. His customer service was impeccable! Time for the food: We both decided to try something new this time, but my reason for going here is the memorable Gnocchi. I would drive hours to get this if I lived far. Best I've ever had! However, We started with a Bottle of Pinot Grigio ($44) and Bread w/Basalmic & Oil ($8). For Entreès We ordered the Braised Short Rib Ravioli in a Crimini Mushroom sauce ($24) and MY GOD if I ever imagi

we've dined here on multiple occasions, and while their food is better than many places in Denver (which doesn't say much) the service is quite poor. I highly recommend avoiding anything with seafood as it tastes like they fished it from a swimming pool. The older gentleman servers are incredibly disrespectful, unless of course you decided to visit with a young lady. I get it that they're old Italian guys, but even my girl friend said "did you notice how he was staring at me and liking his lips? Maybe we should try to find a better Italian spot." Absolutely unacceptable.

The meatballs! You have to try this place. Went during lunch and they did have a lunch menu. It was very quiet in the restaurant and our server was very good. Everyone at the table said their food was delicious, but the homemade meatballs in the gravy were to die for. I will definitely have to come back during dinner time.
