4.7 / 5.0(61 reviews)
The Italian cuisine here is top-notch, and the service is highly professional. I tried the nine-course menu, and every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The view of the Bund is fantastic, adding to the overall atmosphere. It was such a romantic and memorable dinner experience. Sooo yummy!!! An authentic italian fine dining overlooking the Bund. The ambiance is amazing. Food is sooo good too. My favorite was the octopus starter, the pizza and the crispy potatoes. The overall experience was like eating a delicate food with an awesome service somewhere in a night club. The noise from the people's chatting was so loud that you have to shout to be heard. If you go there during normal dinner hours - make sure to bring earplugs along

The restaurant is cosy and we were in the private room which has an awesome view of the bund which is a bonus. Food mostly tastes good and my fave has to be the pork chop and the toast with strawberry and cheese which were really good. Tiramisu was a lil disappointing as it wasn't creamy enough for me but the icecream/sorbet made up for it.

Mercato has truly become our favorite spot on The Bund. Every time we come, the food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it a place where you can unwind and enjoy the company of friends or share a more intimate evening. Then there’s the view, which alone makes the visit worthwhile. Shanghai’s skyline stretches out before you, and no matter how many times we’ve seen it, the view takes our breath away every time. Mercato by Jean-Georges has the perfect mix of great food, a fun chill vibe, and an incredible view. It’s the kind of place that makes any night out feel special.
