Horrible service. Inattentive and imperious waitstaff/owner. No idea of the food as we left after bring ignored after one hour!
Rude staff. Service was slow. Wouldn’t give me a wine list. Ordered an appetizer that was cold and disgusting. Didn’t feel welcome and wish I never tried the place
Second visit. Pizza was good the first time, but this time the food and service were mixed/poor. Service was slow. Server kept forgetting things. Appies were yummy. Duck ragu/pasta had hardly any ragu; no cheese was offered. They added more sauce on request, but overall the dish remained uninteresting. Tablemate said the daily special was blah. Dessert was not what I thought I'd ordered. Overall not worth returning. There are so many many better restaurants in town, so we will visit them.
Over rated, over priced are the terms that immediately come to mind after having dinner there in a group of 11 for a family celebration. While the food itself was good, everything else was average. There were no house wines and what they had was substantially over priced. Given the size of the group, a gratuity to the bill which was extremely generous to themselves - way more generous than I would have been! I forget my key rule when it comes to occasions like this: only go to known and proven restaurants for family celebrations.
This is a low lit, romantic, swish place. Not too big, and sometimes not too busy due to its location I think. But its a secret that a few people I have met RAVE about. Good italian food is not difficult, it's just about the ingredients and l'amore. These dishes I had were outstanding, and you know that feeling when it surprises you?! I can't wait to go back.

Bar Mercurio’s Tonna Ahi Al Nachos ($16) offer a sophisticated take on the usually casual appetizer with ahi tuna, crispy wantons, avocado relish, truffle aioli, cilantro pesto and a spicy Kochujang sauce.

Despite having been on the scene since 1997, this restaurant is one of the better-kept secrets in the neighbourhood. If you come by often enough to enjoy a nice glass of wine, you'll probably meet the owner, Giuseppe.
