I wanted to try it because I've been to Nando's and was curious to see how it compared. It definitely lived up to expectations, and everything was delicious. I got the mild crispy chicken sandwich with a side of yucca fries, which was very good. My fiancé got the chicken with rice and a side of fries. We both really enjoyed our meals. The service was great, our food was brought to the table, and they even cleaned up for us after. The place itself was clean and there were a variety of tables. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in assembly row.

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.

Street parking can be found along the road, there is also a paid parking lot right across the restaurant. There was another empty lot but wasn't sure what for so we didn't risk it. Would go back to this hidden gem in Assembly row!

I really enjoyed my gyro here!…read more I can only speak to the food and not service or ambiance because I got it delivered. I ordered the original gyro, which came with pork, tzatziki, tomatoes, onions, and parsley. The pita was nice and fluffy, meat was tender and seasoned, tzatziki was creamy and tangy, and tomato/onion/parsley added a nice freshness and cut out the richness of the meat. A very well-executed gyro, and a great spot to try out if you're craving Greek food.

Our waitress looked like she didn't want to serve us, and I don't know how many staff I had asked for ketchup, until the hostess is the one that finally stepped up. With this service, not sure if we'll come back to a place that makes us feel like they aren't listening or that we, ordering customers, bothered waitresses for ordering food. And on top of that, just to get something, it took forever. Step up

I haven't been to this establishment in a few years and had asked about a specific slice of pizza that is now only served on Fridays. After getting my answer, he asked if I had called. I said no - he then proceeds to say " be quite now, the men are talking ". This man has never seen me before, and will never see me again. This is absolutely unacceptable to say to anyone let alone a customer. I was in shock and froze. I thought to myself how extremely rude that was - and unmerited. I ended up still going forward with my purchase but regret every second of it. The pizza did not taste good, after all this idiot left a horrible taste in my mouth. I will never step foot in this place again and I'll make sure my friends, family and anyone online who thinks this kind of behavior is unacceptable.

We had seen their doggy menu advertised online and were excited to try it, but unfortunately were told upon arrival that they aren't currently offering it, which was a bit disappointing. We started with the Cast Iron Baked Brie, and it was delicious. The fig jam paired perfectly with the warm brie, giving it a really nice sweet and savory balance. Definitely a must-try. For our mains, we ordered the Sesame-Crusted Ahi Tuna, Peri Peri Chicken, and Roasted Salmon. The Peri Peri Chicken was easily our favorite of the three and had great flavor. The salmon portion was on the smaller side, but the cilantro cream it was served with was tasty and complemented the dish well. Overall, we had a good experience! The staff were attentive, and we always appreciate being able to bring our dogs along to enjoy the patio. We'll definitely be back. (They need to bring back their Prosciutto crostinis!)
