"Fun resturant and bar with decent service but the food was just not that good. See end of review for the v. good exceptions. I'll try not to judge the type of food because it's Italian- American, not Italian. If you've ever been to Italy, you'd know. But really good Italian-American exists, just not here. Perhaps it's too ambitious or whatever I don't know. Here's what I do know: (1) Pasta overcooked, (2) Short Rib way undercooked it's supposed to be tender, (3) Overuse of Pancetta in recipes, (4) Fried Artichokes I've has way better, just didn't seem homemade, (5) Octopus was biggest disappointment undercooked, plate too busy with other stuff and way too expensive, (6) Bolognese Sauce too much tomato, its supposed to be a rich meat sauce this was not, VERY GOOD: simple pizza, excellent crust. Very well prepared Red Snapper. Two best dishes of the night we had six."

Good food and nice atmosphere. Easy access for my Mom who uses a walker. The service was a little slow to bring the check, and get attention at the end of the meal, but everything else was great.

My parents eat here multiple times every time they visit us in West Chester. We always sit outside and have always received wonderful service. We have never been disappointed with our meal, however, the salads are a favorite. Especially the salad special they had during the Fall. It was amazing.

Fourth time visiting this restaurant. Great food. Excellent service. Poor management. Don’t take reservations if you’re going to make people wait 50 minutes to get a table. It’s wrong. I would go back again maybe on a Monday or Tuesday night when it’s not as busy, but never again on a weekend. Or maybe not at all. Haven’t decided yet.

I had higher expectations at this place. the short nativity was great, but everything else was sub par best. we both tried the main course and they were under seasoned and cooked. we waited an hour and half after our order. in the 2.5 hours we were there, our waitress held four times on our table, of which two bring our order. Mediocre food and bad service for so high prices. I will not come back. View menu

I was here on a date with my wife for our jubilee. the personal was incredible and was always on the top of the fillings and asking us whether we had to ask for specializations or something on the menu. I had the halibut and my wife had the scallops and risotto. both meals were huge and gave us enough to take something home! the drinks were on the pricy side, but it is worth it (mezcal old fashioned was very good little on the pricy side, but very good for a date night atmosphere.

We are a local couple and dine out a great deal. Last night we had a reservation (which was confirmed by us and acknowledged by Mercato) for a party of 4 at 7:15...we arrived at 7:10 and were told our table wouldn't be available for 30-45 minutes. The noise level was so high we had to almost yell at the overwhelmed girl at the front desk. We finally gave up after 45 minutes and went to The Marshalton Inn which accommodated us immediately...we won't be back to Mercato...and I have had lunch there many times as well as dinner.
