Great first time at the Mercantile! Loved the atmosphere. Food was good and priced well - not at the excessively high-priced level of many similar type restaurants. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was lively. We would definitely go back to dine there again when in Worcester!

We were a party of 4. Three of us had dinner off the specials menu. Petite fillets melted like butter, cooked to perfection. The veal special was delicious. Appetizers: meatballs=yummy Dessert: split the chocolate molten cake and a crème brûlée = also very yummy. Cocktails were spot on. We frequent Nuovo and have never had a bad meal. Tim was our waiter. He was very attentive and did a great job.
