Our menu and theme of the restaurant is inspired by taking classics and adding a modern flare. We renovated a classic American building with contemporary design inside. The menu is taken from classic recipes, sourced locally and given a twist. The items will be familiar yet distinct. You will find presentation to be clean and simple. Our beverage program is an experience in itself. Our historic bar will transport you back in time, and our bartenders will guide you on a journey of crafted cocktails, wines and draft beer. We consider ourselves "fine casual", a warm and welcoming atmosphere paired with fine dining and excellent service.

    We had heard of a new restaurant in Shelton, CT called Mercato, but couldn't get in - so we decided to try the Southbury location. The menu had something for everyone, but we especially enjoyed the Wood Fired Olives to start. Whipped Ricotta was also very good, but I believe I'd like the fig jam on the side rather than on top of the ricotta (it was very good, but I think I would have liked to control the amount of jam personally). Our waitress was very attentive, drinks and meals served promptly and more importantly, the dinners were piping hot and very fresh. Cacio E Pepe with bucatini was amazing, just the right amount of creaminess and pepper and the Fettuccini Carbonara also an excellent choice. Desserts were heavenly (cannoli super fresh), cappuccino and espresso strong and hot! Overall and excellent happy accident and we will definitely be back - and hope to try the amazing looking pizzas!

    We’re still new to the area and went to Marygold’s for the first time 12/09 for an early dinner. Outstanding from start to finish. The cocktails were out of this world and the Chef and culinary team’s food was the BEST we’ve had in the area. We can’t wait to return.
