MERCATO Restaurant & BYOB
1216 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
Corkage Fee: No corkage fee.
Mercato, a BYOB focusing on market-fresh, Italian-inspired food at 1216 Spruce Street inhabits the old Camac Food Market building, a historic space that has long stood vacant on the corner of Camac and Spruce Streets. Executive Chef, R. Evan Turney's menu for Mercato is short and sweet, placing primary importance on using ingredients that are at their peak that day. While the menu has Italian accents such as piadine – a pizza that is grilled, rather than baked – and fresh pasta made in-house, it is not limited to strictly Italian cuisine, rather Turney is adopting the Italian style of utilizing seasonal produce that is the finest and most flavorful available and letting it shine. His enthusiasm for pristine product is evident in the way he obtains his raw materials. Turney uses individual purveyors that are ingredient-specific: one purveyor for cheese, one for tomatoes, one for mushrooms, in the same way that you might shop a farmer’s market – going to one stall because you know they have the best fish and to another because they have the best potatoes. The name Mercato means “market” after all. Mercato is a cash-only BYOB, open seven days a week; Monday through Thursday, from 5 to 10:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, from 5 to 11p.m., and Sunday from 5 to 10 p.m. Reservations are accepted only for pre-theatre dining from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Reservations are not accepted for other times. Seasonal outdoor seating is available. Mercato is located at 1216 Spruce Street. For more information, please call: 215.985.BYOB.

State Street Grille
115 W State Street, Kennett Square, PA 19348
The State Street Grille is a gourmet byob located in a small storefront in the heart of historic Kennett Square. Chef Richard Halka and wife Evelyn moved to the area from the Hampton’s south shore of Long Island, where Richard had spent the last 12 years as an Executive Chef. Finally having his own restaurant, Richard creates and produces a menu of classically prepared food with innovative flavors and ingredients, and living in the heart of mushroom country has also certainly influenced the menu. The Halkas hope to bring a simple sophistication to their restaurant and offer gourmet food in a relaxed and casual atmosphere without the expense or pretense of traditional fine dinning. Their award winning Prix Fixe menu truly offers one of the best values around.
