    The leader of Mercante is Francesco, whose knowledge of the menu & the preparation was spot on.as well as the Italian wines. Our choices were excellent, reminding us of those we had in Italy. We could not have had a more “un pasto favoloso” .

    I originally made the booking for 7, but learned that I needed a table for 13! Once they confirmed they had the space that sat us right away. There were 13 in our party. The food was really good and the service was the best I have experienced in London! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to others!

    Staying just 2 nights at the Sheraton during Europe vacation. Really appreciate the simple/elegant breakfast service at the Mercante. Great selection of simple English breads as well as hot foods, fruit, several different juices. Staff very friendly and courteous to all guests. Tables cleared very quickly as folks leave. Smooth running restaurant, worth the visit!!! BILL S, Savannah, GA

    Everything was good except a little atmosphere music would have finished it off what was a very good dinner staff and the food were perfect Thanks

    Very nice good, head waiter provided excellent friendly service. Not sure if the waitress was new or not but she was forgetful and sloppy. Either way she would benefit from additional training, her lack of attention brought the service down despite the head waiter taking most of the responsibility, who incidentally provided excellent service and attention to detail.

    The restaurant was a bit cold, the lighting was very regular for a particular date, and the food was not great, good, but not great considering the price, I think they could do better.

    The food was excellent and they were able to easily accommodate our need for gluten free options. The service was excellent and friendly. We enjoyed our Christmas dinner and would definitely go back.

    6/10

    The setup was high price for high performance dinner Christmas Day - 5 dinner course, which turned out to be a 3 dinner course supplied with a very small appetizer, and a cop of coffee + 4 pieces of standard chocolate afterwards - not much high performance 5-dinner course. Further, the 5-dinner course was executed in around ONE hour. Not OKAY, not cozy. Never again.

    The food menu was lean and even the. They didn’t have everything on the menu. The place had no vibe even for a Christmas Eve lunch. Food was average at best

    Appalling food. Chicken was inedible- couldn’t be cut by a chainsaw if we had one. Disappointingly and exceptionally small portion size. The ambience is nice- but you won’t go to a restaurant just for that. Many five star hotels have improved their cuisine in the last decade- but this one has failed to take on the positive changes. Will definitely NOT GO THERE again.

    Slow service with mistakes. Some food overcooked and staff seemed bit unsure sometimes. Had to wait 10 mins for a bottle of still water. Disappointing.

    5.5/10

    It felt like a hotel with some seats left to make a restaurant, the food was honestly quite bad with a dry chicken milanese , over done steak and the rosemary potatoes and the chilli broccoli were genuinely really poor. However, the service was very good but the price of a ‘ bottle’ of beer was £6.50.

    On price/quality the Fork offer made it excellent. Not a large menu but quality ingredients we had spaghetti alle vongole and fish of the day, both excellent. We will eat there again

    While the food was average for Italian at a Mayfair restaurant, the servers Marina & Paulo made up for the average fare by agreeing readily to substitute the pizza for a risotto. The ambience was fine and the restaurant more than half full which wasn’t bad for a Wednesday night. Overall a good experience.

    First time with the Italian cuisine so we had no idea with the menu. Lovely and kind stuff! Stuff explained menu well. I asked for halal options and only chicken and seafood are their halal options. I asked for recommendation and she guided us well. Even explained what is red sauce, white sauce… Even basics~ She was kind and helpful. She suggested her favourite starters as marinated olives, focaccia & olive oil, bread. Delicious! I can even go there just for their olives! Our glasses were never emptied because she always poured our water gently~ This was lovely. I had chicken milanese and my sis had linguine vongole. Chicken was delicious but I REALLY had hard time with cutting. Wasn’t juicy enough and hard to cut. Not sure if those knives were enough to cut it but my arm got tired of trying to cut, seriously :( Pasta was 10/10 no doubts. I had %50 discount coupon from TheFork Festival but they forgot to apply it even though I reminded them very beginning of the night. But they fixed so quickly so no problem at all~ But it is important to being careful and attentive. Definitely visit one more time for their pastas! Restaurant aesthetics so authentic and full of italian culture
