Being a "downtowner" & considering myself somewhat cultured in dining, I must say Mercato is definitely in the top of my list of places to dine. The atmosphere of Mercato's is one of the best in Charleston. (It reminds me of one of those good movies, where you feel like youre in disney world... kind of surreal) The food is great, the menu may be small so make sure in the mood for high end pastas or pizzas when you go.
If youre not in the mood for food, at least have a drink at the bar, you wont be disappointed.
