Mercutio is always on Tybalt's case for being an expert swordsman, who knows all the fancy moves and the names for them. "Alla stoccata" is one such Fencing term; Mercutio is using it as a nickname for Tybalt. When he says Tybalt "carries it away" he means that he wins, that he has got away with insulting Romeo because Romeo refuses to challenge him.

What is alla stoccata?
Alla stoccata is an Italian term. Translated it is "to the thrust", a reference to the fencing move of the same name, which I assume, having never watched fencing, is a thrusting move. An interesting thing to note: the spell check thinks it's "staccato", which is "has detached", and so completely disagrees with "alla".
