What to Order
Pappardelle with Ragu of Wild Boar and Beef Ribeye
A rich and hearty pasta dish featuring broad, flat noodles coated in a deeply flavorful ragu made with wild boar and beef ribeye.
"I had my absolute favourite dish, the pappardelle with the ragu of wild boar and beef ribeye. It was delicious! I even asked about buying the sauce in the market, but they do not sell it there."
Jason Knox
Gigli
This unique, lily-shaped pasta is perfectly cooked and seasoned, often highlighted by a well-balanced sauce.
"The gigli, on the other hand, was perfectly cooked and seasoned really well!"
Sheila Leblanc
Bistecca (Steak)
A perfectly cooked steak, often praised for its divine taste and quality, making it a standout main course.
"Lovely service, terrific food - the bistecca is divine - and a great table, with a ringside view of the kitchen."
Dan Houser
Seafood Linguine
A flavorful pasta dish featuring linguine and perfectly cooked seafood, praised for its fresh ingredients and execution.
"Seafood linguini was excellent and so was the chicken dish."
F
Mushroom Risotto
A creamy and rich risotto packed with mushrooms and plenty of parmesan, offering a comforting and satisfying experience.
"The risotto was delicious, very creamy with lots mushrooms, and tons of parmesan. Some pieces of rice were slightly underdone but we ate it all so I don't think it affected anything."
Becx A.
Tiramisu
A classic Italian dessert, often described as consistently delicious and beautifully made, though sometimes presented in a deconstructed style.
"If happiness could take a physical form, I think it might look like Mercado’s tiramisu or carrot cake. Both are consistently delicious and beautifully made♡"
Amanda T
Carrot Cake
A delightful and flavorful dessert, often available for takeout in larger portions from the deli.
"Carrot cake was also good. Tip: if you can wait to eat the carrot cake at home, you can buy the Togo tub from the deli, and for one dollar more, you get double the portion."
