The tables were empty so there was absolutely no excuse for the extremely slow service we received... the appetizers which were a salad and open faced stromboli took a very long time. Additionally, they were out of many things especially items that were printed on the daily specials menu. It's really a shame the first time we went here it was good.. this experience will definitely keep me and my family from ever going again.

We have been to Mercato a few times now and have enjoyed the food each time. We ended up having our…read morerehearsal dinner downstairs here with about 25 people and everyone really enjoyed their entrees! We also went here for lunch recently and had a pizza, which was pretty good. All of the waiters and staff are super nice and helpful as well!

It's a nice looking place. Decent layout. Service was a little slow, particularly towards the end…read more Our server was friendly and seemed nice. Got the arancini as an appetizer. The sauce was pretty bland and didn't complement the risotto well. I got the spaghetti and meatballs. The two meatballs were a decent size and were pretty good. The noodles seemed to be cooked nicely. The sauce wasn't great. Very salty and didn't taste of much. Maybe canned tomato sauce. Son got pizza. Super salty and not all that good. Wife got the bolognese which she said was decent. A bit dry. Over this place is pretty average.

This restaurant has been open for many years, I believe. We…read moreare so sorry it took us this long to patronize it! (In our defense, we have a beach house where we go out more often than when in West Chester) We were a party of three tonight. We ordered the whipped ricotta bruschetta and Caesar salad for starters. Both delicious! For entrees we had the eggplant Parmesan with gnocchi, the saffron risotto, and the lobster ravioli. (Sorry, no photos!) The portions were generous. Each dish was delicious! We took a good bottle of red and also had some house wine/cocktails. The corking fee was reasonable! Everything was totally reasonably priced, and "worth it"! We will be back!! Thank you!

Had a lovely conversation with her while waiting for the others in our party to arrive. You can tell she takes great pride in her restaurant. It shows in the deliciousness and quality of the food.

Very knowledgeable of the menu, efficient and very friendly. We found our new "place". :)

There were a few dishes that were an up charge of 10 bucks but everything was completely delicious and worth it. This bar is way bigger than you think with so many different rooms throughout. The staff was incredibly friendly and bubbly. A lot of the sauce is made in house and was so delicious. It was a great experience and every dish was worth the order. I can't wait to come back and try different menu items!

This is a nice restaurant, but the food was not very good. The wait staff was friendly and my drink…read morewas ok. I had the Della Chef salad and I tried my best to eat it but it was not edible. They brought us bread with no butter or olive oil. We had to ask for the olive oil. The bread tasted stale and wasn't very good at all. We started with the Brussel sprouts and they were just mid. Nothing exciting about them. They drowned my salad in dressing. Way, way, way too much dressing. If they used half the dressing that was on there, it would have been too much. My tongue was hurting after 3 bites. I really wanted to like this place, but the food just did not hit. I'm giving 2 stars because the waitress was awesome and the ambiance of the place was great.

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of West Chester on a very vibrant street (Gay Street). I was…read moreimpressed from start to finish. Our server was awesome, she was able to elegantly go over the vast number of appetiser and main food additions, without having to refer to any notes. I had the calamari salad. It was very good. Nice balance of flavours, arugula and shaved Parmesan, with just the perfect amount of dressing. For my main entree, I chose one of the special additions, Fettuccini dish that included, muscles, nice size shrimp and olives. This dish was amazing! I couldn't finish it all. Can't wait to enjoy the next day! They also have a nice cocktail and wine menu. I got a dirty martini with blue cheese olives, yum! Overall, a great experience. Nice casual atmosphere, a great server, manager and support staff. I can't wait to go back again.

Simply the best Italian food locally! First time here and wow, so glad we found this hidden gem…read more The waitress was amazing, food excellent, and ambiance very nice and low key. Every single item we ordered was amazing! Grilled calamari is my favorite seafood appetizer and no one locally serves this so that was a surprise! The sausage appetizer was probably the best item overall and also the crab pasta. The restaurant is byob and I believe you need a reservation. Very surprised to see any negative reviews. Highly recommend and will be back.

Service was definitely on the slower side but being with friends as opposed to my kids made that more manageable. They are BYOB which is nice. For my entree, I had the seafood pasta that came with crab meat, mussels and calamari. It was very good. I was disappointed though that I purposely saved half to eat it for lunch the next day and had it boxed up. When I came home, they had given me someone else's meal. I don't even think it was anyone at our tables. So that was disappointing. Overall, my experience was ok, not in a rush to come back

I've been a fan of Pica's for a few years now. I'm sad that the Upper Darby location closed, so…read morenow we need to hop in the car for a short ride over to West Chester for some Pica's. The staff here is always welcoming and friendly. We normally get the pizza and save a bit of room for dessert because the lemonchello cake is delicious! If you have not had Pica's pizza, it is a very unique pie. Thin, pan pizza, cheese, and then sauce on top, sprinkled with Parmigiano Reggiano and whatever toppings you ordered. They had a crazy take-out special for Eagles games, 12 Pack Miller Lite, 2 Large chees pizzas and 20 wings for $70. That's a good deal! Don't be dumb and call asking for this deal in 3 years, I'm just saying it's a good deal now. I'm sure it will change so just check before calling.

As far as cocktails, I would stick to Wine and stay away from mixed drinks. They tasted very perfumed and not well done. All of the appetizers and meals were pretty good with the exception of a pretty liquidy pasta. Our waiter was young, but pretty friendly. Things were very slow to come out and had to be asked for a few times. For example, we did not get our table bread until 15 to 20 minutes after ordering appetizers and entrees. Overall it was an OK experience. There was also a woman painting faces near the front. Very interesting but kept the kids entertained for a while!
