Sorelle Mercato

The Mercato is the ground-floor, daytime face of Sorelle's three-story Italian complex on Broad Street — a casual counterpart to the reservation-only dinner room upstairs, serving paninis, rotating Sicilian-style pizza slices, pastries, gelato, and espresso out of a Meyer Davis–designed space carved from three converted historic townhomes. Pistachio croissants, mortadella sandwiches on sesame semolina bread, Nutella toast, and strong cold brews are the consistent crowd draws, though pricing raises eyebrows for a counter-service format and the pastry selection can feel thinner than the room warrants. The space is genuinely beautiful and throughput is efficient, but consistency is uneven enough that what you order matters more than the fact that you showed up.
