Noisy, cramped and cash-only, this imperfect yet irresistible Italian/New American BYOB owned by George Anni and chef R. Evan Turney feels like a natural extension of its diverse east-of-Broad neighborhood. Mercato is stylish rather than fancy and its oversized portions assure that no one goes home hungry. In the tiny open kitchen, Turney and chef de cuisine Mackenzie Hilton turn out perfect seared scallops with truffle-oil-scented English pea risotto, as well as orecchiette pasta with old-fashioned meatballs, mild Italian sausage and red gravy that simmers for half a day with a heap of roasted pork bones.
