Stopped in for lunch and ordered the pasta Tagliatelle. The pasta was delicious and fresh. This is a restaurant in Calgary that never disappoints.
It is so hard to write about food as everyone has its personal taste buds, however, I am tempted to share our discovery of delicious Italian food from “Pizza Mercatos”, at 4th Street Calgary.
This Father’s day, our son ordered Italian food from “Mercatos Pizza” for a party of about 15. The food has about 6 or 7 choices of Pizza, Pasta, Contorni and dips.
Pizza: Soonest, we all sat down with our meals, instantly everyone commented on the quality of the pizza crest. Perhaps, an above average pizza is because of its bread flavor. Definitely a unique taste of crest because of fresh ingredient but my take is that bread tasted so good because we did not taste the usual table salt. The base sauce and toppings were all exclusive for each pizza. My favorite from the menu were Isola, Pomodoro, Sal sicca and the Carne. The best part is after eating so many different types of Pizza, I did not feel stuffed…. The bread is very light.
CONTORNI: What a great “Prawns & Fogioli” recipe of Prawns with beans and capicola ham. Another very special “Arancini” saffron ball. One can have this ball even as an appetizer. Must to have.
PASSATA: I was so full and could not handle too much of Pasta, but I heard from everyone else nothing but praises of Linguine, and Rigatoni.
Dips: special dipping sauces and my facilitate were Chili Honey, and Spicy Tomato Dip
If vesting Calgary or any occasion, for a wonderful Italian food I recommend Mercatos at 4th or order from their web “Pizzamercatos.ca”
Have not been in a few years. Had a late night light dinner with a friend last night. Chicken Liver Pate, carpaccio, and Gnocchi. All were amazing as was the suggested wine. I won’t make it that long before I return
