Neera Knows Food

Better late than never! Classic fair food from the Collier County Fair! My stomach hurts just looking at the photos haha - just kidding it was all so good in the moment. We had the blooming potatoes, slushie, fried Oreos, garlic bread, hot dog and candy apple! Can't wait for next year 🎡🎠🎢

We recently had a friend who is gluten free come into town and decided to try 239 at Mercato because they have solid gluten free selections. I had a bowl with the gluten free crispy chicken and my daughter had the bucatini a la vodka with the gluten free crispy chicken. The girls also tried two different margaritas that they said were delicious, and we finished with the gluten free beignets and tried the white chocolate and berry sauces. They were certified amazing by our gluten free friend who hasn't had anything like that in a long time! I tried one and it was really good. The berry sauce was the best one. Knowing that they have an amazing happy hour pricing wise, I would say the regular prices are a little steep for me. For two of us with the entrees and one drink each we were at $120 with tip. I would definitely return for happy hour though! Our service was amazing also.
