Pasta on the Patio: An Evening in Roma 🇮🇹
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we bring the flavors of Rome straight to our terrazzo.
This Saturday, March 29 from 5–8 PM, our chef will be preparing cacio e pepe the traditional way — a sacred family recipe passed down through generations, made fresh before your eyes. Bold, peppery, and perfectly simple… just as it should be.
Pair it with a glass of vino rosso or vino bianco and let every bite transport you to a Roman piazza — all for just $25. No reservations, just good food, good wine, and even better company.
📍 Mercato & Co.
📅 Saturday, March 29 | 5–8 PM
Enjoy a plate, share a laugh, and make memories with us.
Non vediamo l’ora di vedervi!
Slow mornings, espresso in hand, and a market full of the finest Italian goods—this is how weekends should be spent. 🖤
Stop by, savor the experience, and stock up on the essentials (and a few indulgences)!
What makes our Parma panini so special? Maybe it’s the fresh baked bread from @cakeandbaconhtx topped with decadent Truffle spread, or perhaps it’s the tangy creaminess of Roma tomatoes and fresh Italian burrata melting together, or the impeccable slices of 24-month aged prosciutto parma. One thing is undeniable—it’s delicious!
Buongiorno! We will be closing early today at 4pm for inventory and will reopen Thursday for regular hours. Come and see us. 🫶

Think of it as a mini Eataly—curated by owners who’ve actually lived in Italy. They’ve got everything from bean-to-grind coffee, cold cuts, cheeses, chocolates, olive oils, sauces, and tinned fish to wines, craft beers, and more. 🍷🧀☕️
Grab a panini, a glass of wine, and soak up the vibes on their stunning patio. I tried the Parma Panini (parma ham, mozzarella, tomatoes, truffle cream) + a glass of wine, and it was perfection. They’re also opening a full Italian restaurant soon!
