Del Mercato

The good — I was able to a make a reservation for a large group without a hassle and didn’t need to give my credit card information. But… the reason for that may be explained below.
Food — appetizers were the star. My main was lame. The desserts were okay.
Service — staff quality was a mix. A couple were great, while some were less than courteous.
Cleanliness — we were the last to leave and saw 3 – 4 mice running around. Ratatouille?

Tucked away in the Borough Market place on a narrow street, this Italian Resturant was the perfect find. The service was fantastic. The food was delicious. During our experience we started with the crab, avocado, citrus salad. Followed by lamb chops. In addition, we had the spaghetti, burrata, and basil. For dessert we enjoyed the tiramisu. I loved this place. I plan on going again before I leave London.

Lovely place for lunch or dinner close to Borough market and London Bridge. Yummy Pizzas, Pastas, and salads. Great choice on the menu with all my favorites on including salt and pepper squid, Cornish crab, and napoli pizza — don’t worry this is not a seafood place just these are my fav! Great Lamb ragu and the pastas come in either a small or large portion depending on how hungry you are feeling! amazing. wine and desserts are lovely too. Definitely give this place a go if you are looking for a good Italian in the London Bridge area.

Very nice trattoria with a dinning room above food was good had a lamb ragu it was excellent nice service not complicated will go again before we leave London

Excellent! Along with the visit Shard experience I won with the Evening Standard, came this meal for two with cocktails at this restaurant. I booked in advance over the phone and on a beautiful May day sat outside in the smoking area (courtyard alleyway — not on a horrible street).
Buy-​a-​gift voucher accepted happily and without question. Pizzas traditional Italian, good quality and filling. My friend from Australia Neil had a cocktail and Del Mercato happily made me a non-​alcoholic one. Staff friendly.

Margarita pizza. Tastes is pretty good but is really just cheese pizza and should be advertised as so. No tomatoes and 1 small piece basil, by design? Disappointed.

Very best pasta, strongly recommend Neapolitan seafood pasta, with so many fresh mussels and sweety pasta. and very luck we have Arancini starter. A wonderful dinner experience

Food was good but the service is horrible. I was eating a pastry from another shop while I was waiting for my order from them and they scolded me and told me I can’t eat anyone else’s food while I’m there. They then proceeded to ignore my husband and me and we had to flag them down several times to get attention. It took for us to ask 3 times for water in which they proceeded to plop down two empty glasses and a carafe of room temperature water. When I asked for ice, they plopped down another glass of ice with a spoon to scoop ourselves! I will never eat there again!

Went for lunch, arancini tasted almost like the original sicilian ones, one of my favourite starters! Parmigiana with aubergines was so tasty and in the end the sicilian cannolo was oh so good!
The place is very cozy and the service really good, friendly and effective.
A very good experience overall!

This one is slightly tucked away in Stoney St, but more conspicuous on Park Street. While the overall experience was very positive both on the food and the service, I’ve hadn’t really heard much about this one, and rightly so, for Unilocal has only 2 reviews today, as I write this review!
From sections of the restaurant you can see how closely the upper section holds up the Southeastern train tracks. This was the only place in the Borough Market/​Bankside area where we got a table without a wait on Feb 14.
The starters; pan fried scallops on cauliflower cream, and the ever awe inspiring burrata adorned with roasted beetroot and butternut squash and topped with red onion (with Crispy Smoked Pancetta) were star picks.
The slow cooked beef cheek on a bed of polenta and spinach, came recommended, was endorsed by the servers, and the magical first morsel established that this was a winner. Highly recommended! (although one of my friends remarked that there was something amiss). The spicy maccheroncini was spicy, unusually spicy; the heat came very likely from the Calabrian Nduja.
Dessert — Tiramisu, Cheesecake. Average to satisfactory,
Very well worth a try, the service was more than satisfactory and the servers have a fairly adequate knowledge of the food.

This place has been open since last Oct (according to waiter) but no Unilocal reviews yet! I was reluctant at first as I didn’t fancy a pizza, but they have a restaurant upstairs with a more expansive menu! (That’s ‘expansive’ not ‘expensive’)!
I had the quail with bacon, peas, artichoke, white wine & Parmesan shavings (melting!!! — nice). Couldn’t have asked for better. Glass of Soave was ok but little touches like
A. Olives, bread, ham & small battered anchovies as a complimentary taster
B. little chocolates with coffee
Were lovely!
The staff were very friendly and attentive without being all over me.
Overall an excellent culinary experience for less than £25. I’ll be back to try some more!

A really good italian restaurant in a nice place.
Maybe think to book before, the restaurant was almost full
