About Us

Mercato offers the very best authentic Italian food, wine, and experiences with exceptional service, to bring a little bit of Italy to Adelaide. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we continuously strive to exceed their expectations, ensuring they leave Mercato with a smile.

 
Since 1972, the Caporaso family have been purveyors of the finest Italian produce, which began with smallgoods, cheeses and coffee. These items remain staples in Mercato’s Campbelltown store, along with house-made sauces and meals, Italian wine, and a wide range of pantry and specialty items.
 
The Campbelltown store incorporates Bar Mercato, a quintessential Italian bar, and a vibrant meeting place for a morning espresso, house-made pastry, or a quick meal with friends.
 
Visiting Mercato is an experience in food, wine, flavours and discovery. It is Italy in Adelaide.

At Mercato, we take great care in sourcing and delivering quality products. If you experience an issue with your order, please contact us as soon as possible and we will work with you to find an appropriate solution.
