About

Mercatino is a beloved downtown staple for office workers looking for a quick, fresh lunch. The staff, especially Len and his team, are frequently praised for their warm, personal service. While the buffet variety is a major draw, some customers feel the recent price hikes make it less of a bargain than it used to be. Overall, it is a reliable, friendly spot for a daily bite.
