"If I could give a half star, Mercado Hostaria would have 3.5 stars from me. The patio of Mercado Hostaria called to my friends and I when we explored Campo di Fiore on a Sunday afternoon. We'd already looked through the market and wanted to sit down and eat. The host was very personable and funny as he talked to us while we looked at the menu board. When he told us that they did have gluten free pasta, we decided to sit down and eat here. We ordered fairly quickly, and I confirmed with our server that my meal needed to be both gluten and dairy free. He made a note in his phone that my spaghetti pomodoro was gluten free and without cheese. My friends ordered a pizza and a gnocchi dish. The food started to come out in a fair amount of time. But after my friends got their orders sat in front of them, the server looked at mine, shook his head and walked away without another word. I figured it was probably not gluten free turns out I was right. Several minutes later, a woman from the kitchen came out to apologize for the mistake and let me know my gluten free pasta would be out soon, they were remaking it. I was grateful they caught it before giving it to me! I told my friends to go ahead and eat and they did... good thing, too, because my food didn't come out until at least 25 minutes after the woman's apology. We didn't note the time before then, so it might've been closer to 40 minutes between when my friends received their food and my dish came out correctly. Mistakes happen, and they did apologize three or four different times. The wait to get the correct order was a bit long for a simple pasta dish, though, in my opinion. When the gluten free spaghetti pomodoro did come out, I wasn't super impressed at first. It tasted fine, like spaghetti. Then I stirred it up and the olive oil in the pomodoro at the bottom of the dish was able to cover more noodles. Made a big difference! I ate the entire dish pretty quickly (I was hungry by this point! . It was a tasty meal, one I'd say is worth the 10 €... if it wasn't so delayed in coming out. I did enjoy the people watching and chill vibe of the patio and the food, when it came out, was good. The servers were all kind and personable to us. So I'd be willing to potentially eat here again and give them another try. If my food didn't come out more quickly though, I'd walk away next time."
