I was pretty happy with this choice.
First, I enjoyed the outside courtyard seating.
Second, my veal was really really good.
Third, one of the guys bust out with some opera singing for his table (he even brought speakers and a mic). He was good — and it added to the entertainment for the evening.
I would absolutely stop here again.

Only a block away from Duomo area, this place is perfect after enjoying nice architecture of Piazza del Duomo («Cathedral Square»).
When we visited, it just rained, they didn’t have patio seating available but I was told it is so enjoyable to sit at the patio.
They have English menu available and staff spoke good English. Everyone was so friendly, they made our dining experience so enjoyable.
They have good selection of wine, our table enjoyed both red and white wine from the area.
We started with several appetizer, everything I ate was very good. If I have to pick my favorite, I think it will be octopus salad.
For main dish, I enjoyed veal with mushrooms. Sauce used for this dish, I can’t remember the name anymore, blended well with veal and mushrooms.
We also enjoyed our desert. I had a bite from everyone and all of them were good including my tiramisu.
We ended our dinner with Limoncello. Perfect way to finish Italian meal.
Great location, good food, friendly service, I recommend this restaurant for nice dinner

This place was recommended by our tour guide. It was okay. Not sure if I would be recommending it to people…
I had the riostto — flavor was mild and it was undercooked. Not al dente, but damned near crunchy. Bleh! We had a few other things there were fine, but certainly not memorable.
Service was inattentive and awkward. Why are there only male servers in all of these places?
Over priced for the quality of the food.
Skip this place. If all else fails, just eat gelato. :-)

Klasse Restaurant der etwas gehobeneren Preisklasse, leicht versteckt am Piazza Mercanti unweit des Mailänder Doms. Hier ist für jeden etwas dabei von Fisch über Fleisch (das Bistecca Fiorentina!) bis hin zu Pasta und den in Mailand äußerst beliebten Risotto in allen Spielarten. Der Wein wird dekantiert, das Personal ist diskret und zuvorkommend. Perfekt für Geschäftsessen aller Art.

Adresse très agréable sur une place calme à 200m du Duomo. Accueil professionnel et courtois. Table en terrasse spacieuse.
Cuisine italienne authentique et goûteuse. Satisfecit pour le rizotto à la milanese et la tagliata di manzo, le tout accompagné d’un Valpolicella ripasso. Succulent.
Un souvenir inoubliable de ce dîner milanais d’une douce soirée de septembre.

One of the most enjoyable meals in Milan. Found this place via coworkers who live here. Fabulous food and super friendly staff :)

‘Mmm. Ohhhhh, yes! Oh, god, that is –so– good… I really don’t want it to end.’
^— Pretty much the words spoken by me upon consuming the massive plate of lardo here. Good thing we got it as a starter to share between two, because that stuff isn’t light on the love handles.
Not to be outdone by the foodgasmic fat, my osso bucco with risotto milanese (both drowned in a decadent wine sauce) was a superb recommendation. In fact, it was the primary reason we came to Ristorante Al Mercante: it fulfilled the role of a full-on proper Milanese cuisine meal, virtually from start to finish.
In fact, I think the only thing that wasn’t exceptionally local was the (absurdly massive) cheese plate. My dining companion explained that the cheeses came from all over the country, from north to south. If you want an explanation about regional cheeses, you’ll have to ask her.
As a proper cloth napkin pseudo-haute cuisine dinner destination, Al Mercante is definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re playing tourist about Milano’s city centre.
