Cantina Mercatto

Pretty good selection of pasta on the menu, although the octopus starter was lacking in flavour. Nice and cozy atmosphere at a great location

The atmosphere in this restaurant was the most amazing vibe, the interior design really took the grail. The food was nothing less, the margarita pizza was amazing as well as the truffle fries. I highly recommend the latte and finishing it off with the brownie dessert!

The rustic Mercatto bread served in a cast iron pan (CAN$9 plus tax) and the warm castelvatrano olives ($10) were both very good appetizers. The seasoning for the warm olives makes for a good dipping oil for the bread. The orecchiette pugliese ($23) was a hearty, refined pasta dish. The interior is modern and stylish, with high ceilings and large windows.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. Right around the corner from Meridian Hall, we stopped in for a small meal together, sharing a pizza and pasta dish and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The food was amazing, but the reason we'll be back is for the Affogato.

Staff and location are great! I read previous reviews before coming and saw a few people mentioned fruit flies in the restaurant. We found this as well during our dinner. Did not deter us, but was noticeable. We were sat right by the stairs to the bathroom in a middle table in a row of 3. Would have preferred a more private area, or maybe a corner table, given we had made a reservation, but overall our visit was pleasant and food was delicious.

Nice place to grab a drink, but need to work on their food game. SERVICE We came here for a quick bite, and walked away in a hours. Reason? The service was slow. No, the kitchen was not overwhelmed, there were not many people aside from us this afternoon, but we just waited and waited and waited. You need to speed yup your game. Also, there were a few errors in taking our order—quite a few actually. But everyone was nice!? FOOD I started with a Caesar salad, which I could had made better at home. Followed by pasta with bacon and peas that just refused to come together. I dishonestly with tiramisu, what lacked beautiful lightness. The place I think has potential, but definitely needs to work on execution. ATMO Patio is patio: it’s always welcome on a nice summer day!

The food was good and I was pleasantly surprised that they carry Left Field Brewery beers. The service was… not the best - we felt rushed as the server kept coming every 5 minutes to check in on us or wrap up. I felt this was unjustified as the restaurant was at MAYBE 20% capacity - it’s not like they were busy and had to make space for customers. I will come back again and see if their service will be better next time.

I've been here twice, and both times I had a great experience. The pizzas were absolutely delicious, and we ordered lasagna both times, which was stunning. However, the first time I tried the spaghetti carbonara for myself, it wasn't to my taste, but maybe that's just me. Everything else was fantastic. On our second visit, we were seated in a corner where the ceiling light was very bright. I asked the waiter if we could move to a different table, and they accommodated us without any hesitation. I'm very impressed with the service. Overall, it's a wonderful place with great food and excellent customer care.
