Details & Description
The kind of spot Marlon Brando or Frank Sinatra might show up for a 'za and a glass of malbec, this hip Annex trattoria is a standout for lots of reasons. Take, for example, the consistently yummy pies that tumble out of its state-of-the-art, imported-from-Italy pizza oven. Or the eight interesting by-the-glass wines (picked at the owner's discretion and subject to seasonal change-ups) that flow from the on-site Enomatic machine. Or the fresh pasta and tomato sauce prepared to exacting standards in the Mercurio kitchen. Or perhaps it's simply Bar Mercurio's comfy atmosphere — intimate enough to be date-worthy but quaint enough to host a solo experience with gusto — and the attentive, personalized service that flourishes within it. more...

The restaurant itself has a cozy yet...

The restaurant itself has a cozy yet sophisticated ambience. Sadly, based on last night's visit, this was the only good thing about the restaurant. Firstly, the waiter kept rushing us to order. He must have come to us about 3 times in the space of 15 minutes and wasn't the most polite. In addition, he was less than curt when asked to recommend drinks and appetizers. When the food finally arrived it was pretty bland. Not the best italian food that I have had. To top it all off, he took an extremely long time to attend to us after our meal so it took forever to get our dessert orders in. And to our surprise he returned and told us that unfortunately they were all out of the dessert we had ordered!! This seemed quite odd so on leaving the restaurant we called just to see if they had any of the dessert left and they did. Go figure!! I am really sorry that we didn't get the waiter's name though. Needless to say, my friends and I won't be returning to Bar Mercurio again.

Sip and swill a glass of wine at these Annex bars

Making its mark in the Annex with fine Italian food and even finer desserts, Mercurio has a wine list that matches the irresistible edibles. Despite having been on the scene since 1997, this restaurant is one of the better-kept secrets in the neighbourhood. If you come by often enough to enjoy a nice glass of wine, you'll probably meet the owner, Giuseppe.
