Bar Mercato - Campbelltown, South Australia

Duki

An authentic blend of traditional Italian ingredients to purchase with a cafe that offers a fresh eatery experience. The customer service can benefit for those whom had booked ahead of time but can be better for those who arrive without one, though with the popular cafe it’s to be expected so it’s taken with a grain of salt. The food tasted incredible, with stored-sourced ingredients for their dishes made as authentic as any Italian dishes you may had tasted. However, for a “large” $28 dollars pasta, the child-sized portion, without any sight of mushroom or basil unless asked for with additional cost, can be disappointing with the price paid. The dessert however, will blow you away with the quality of the baked goods and options. Thus, Mercato is recommended for anyone in Adelaide who wanted to experience an amazing authentic Italian cuisine with the option of purchasing and making similar (depends on one’s cooking skills) dishes made in store, but not for a filling meal for the price you will pay.

The place has a great atmosphere. When I arrived nearly all the tables were filled so it was bustling with conversation and laughter.
The food was beautiful and I recommend a slice of the margarita pizza. It's simplicity at its best. The coffee is also great.

This place is one of the best Italian cafés in Adelaide. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the staff. The Breakfast menu was not that extensive, but the sexy croissants blinked on us. The freshly made croissants were amazing. Coffee was excellent too. Exactly what you expected from Italian cafes.
There's a sort of supermarket in the same building as the cafe. Lots of variety of Italian ingredients, snacks, cheese, etc.

The only thing to mention is this place is slightly pricey compared to many other supermarkets and cafés.

Bottom line, if you're into Italian-type environment and price is not a big deal for you, this is a must place to go.

Wow, been here a few times but had a wonderful waitress(little pocket rocket) full of smiles and energy.

Food options for breakfast great, but we chose the specials, one being scrambled eggs with asparagus and for Di latte. The other scrambled eggs, mushroom and chilli pork sausage.

I was already coffee'd out so ordered their green tea which was one of the best I have tasted (check photos).

I will be back!

Nice cafe with a range of authentic Italian food to choose from. Love the pumpkin & zucchini lasagna and the pizza slices. Packed an orange & pistachio pastry for afternoon tea and it was delicious! Will definitely go back and explore the grocery store.

A great breakfast of scrambled eggs with zucchini and added extra spinach ($4) made it a healthy one. My partner went for the Pork Sausage and asked for tomato sauce (really in an Italian cafe!) So they brought him a beautiful warm small dish of neopolitan sauce - yum! What great service.

Went here for my birthday lunch. Menu is not very clear on what dishes are, and some things we just had no clue what they were.
I ordered the chicken Cotoletta (chicken cutlet), prosciutto, grana Padano which was nothing like I thought it would be. Just like a chicken schnitzel with the prosciutto and grated cheese on top. No sauce or side salad, nothing but the dry chicken. For $29 I expected a little more than that. Some gravy or a tomato salsa would have been nice. Better to get a meal at a pub.
Also wasn't a fan of their menu. Was hardly anything much to choose from. Will not be going back there again. Very disappointing and expensive for what it is.

Just a glimmer of what this place was 15 years ago. Hope their move to Nth Adelaide proves good & that they have considered their business model, what may have worked in Campbeltown wont work in O'Connel.
