Restaurants near Portico Row

Very unique menu. The pasta dishes were great. Did not have the pizza but it looked tasty. Will definitely go back

We had an early reservation (5pm) and the place was quiet and fairly empty. The tables were close to each other but that was okay for an early reservation. The menu was varied and not overly large, but with enough choices as to suit just about everyone's tastes. The food portions were good and very rich, so you may only want to split an appetizer or a side. I highly recommend the short rib entre or the seared scallops and shrimp entre. Please note that your tab will grow quickly as the prices are a bit steep, but worth every penny. The wait staff was awesome. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and spoke freely about what his favorites were. He also emphasized that all entries were made fresh and there were no bad choices. The only downside was that the noise lever increased as the restaurant became more full, but that was to be expected. I highly recommend Talula's if you want a special place to treat yourself to a fine meal.

Lovely ambience and staff. We ate early in the bar and were very pleased. In fact, we made a reservation for NYEve!

We went to Mercato for dinner last night. It was fantastic! We started with the grilled artichoke appetizer and grilled Caesar salad. Both were super tasty and seasoned to perfection. For our entrées, we ordered the pyramid pasta and the braised short rib ravioli. Both dishes were outstanding. We finished the evening with a delicious homemade tiramisu. Our server was fantastic. He was very accommodating and did not rush us. We cannot wait to return!

Loved this restaurant 15 yrs ago and haven’t been back in at least 6… but it was just as good as we remembered and so happy it is still a staple in town. As a Cuban American, it’s so close to my family’s recipes.
