I thought that was remarkable because the place was jammed. I don't know how she kept a line from forming. It is definitely in old school Greater, Boston, mom and pop store. The entire front which was servicing about 20 people was about 8 x 10'. Pizza boxes were piled up on the counter handwritten scroll was all over the place explaining what was being offered. It was definitely comfortable. I will be a regular going forward, even though there is excellent Italian Brazilian in all sorts of other great options very close by. I highly recommend it. It is definitely equal to the hype.

This is the restaurant. There is limited seating, but it is awesome.

I came for the much heralded Italian sandwich and it did not disappoint…read more Small, 2-room shop on Salem Street, right next to Bova's Bakery, good for Italian provisions and artful Italian sandwiches. As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

Reluctantly, they made me a new sandwich that had one itty-bitty piece of chicken in it breaded,& the delicious gravy. It felt a little light the second time around and it was reported to me that the lady that took the order and placed the sandwich in my friends hand had an attitude.

Crust was decent, cheese was good, sauce lacked flavor in my opinion. I think they were a little stingy on the pepperonis personally. But it's rare that a place will actually load up on the toppings. I think were I to order again, I'd ask for the pizza to be cooked well-done for more crunch and less of a spongey feel. Maybe double pepperonis to add more flavor. Not bad, just okay. Ham & cheese sub: it came exactly how I ordered it: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, black pepper & oil. Vegetables were all fresh and good. Not my favorite ham, but I'll chalk that up to a "personal taste" thing? And the bread was soft and fresh and tasted fine, but PERSONALLY I thought it was a lacking. Kinda cheap maybe? It's probably a weird thing to criticize but it was just whatever, where as I know other places where I'm like "this bread is amazing", they just do not happen to deliver to me. Also, I felt like there could've been a bit more ham and cheese in the sub. And I'm someone who usually pulls half the meat out and gives it to the dog, I like a good bread to meat ratio. Not a huge deal to ME, but I could see others being like "where's the rest of it?" This place isn't bad, definitely worth it if you need something. But I probably won't go out of my way to order again anytime soon. Some of the grocery products are ridiculously overpriced ($7 or $8 for hood ice cream? That's usually 2 for $5 at the supermarket or $3 each)... I get marking up Ben and Jerry's a dollar or two, but a 250% markup on hood? I don't want to be harsh, but at the same time it wasn't spectacular.
