At Mercato we believe the old Italian proverb ‘A tavola nessuno diventa vecchio’ translated to ‘At the table no one grows old’, so much so that we have dedicated ourselves to providing the best selection of local and imported fine foods to our customers. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we continuously strive to exceed their expectations, ensuring they leave Mercato with a sm

ile. Since 1972, the Caporaso family have been purveyors of the finest Italian produce, which began with smallgoods, cheese and coffee. These items remain staples at Mercato, along with house-made sauces and meals, Italian wine, and a wide range of pantry and specialty items. Our North Adelaide store also incorporates a quintessential Italian bar and a vibrant meeting place - open all day for a morning espresso and house-made pastry, breakfast, lunch and dinner, or an afternoon aperitivo and antipasto with friends. Visiting Mercato is an experience in food, wine, flavours and discovery. It is Italy in Adelaide. www.mercato.com.au.
