What Cris Bernal likes about Taverna Mercatto:
One of the better Mercatto locations in the city. The setup and decor of the restaurant is very nice. A bit crammed for the 2 seater tables in the middle section near the window though but overall a pretty good experience. Wait staff has always been friendly and helpful when making food and drink choices and the portion size is fair. View all feedback. What Ian M doesn't like about Taverna Mercatto:
Nice place and handy for area around Toronto Union Railway Station. Service was good but when we asked for wines they didn’t have any. Initially Gavi then Pinot not available. It’s an Italian Restaurant ! Food however was good. We had Mushroom Pizza and Pasta with Scallops and asparagus. Good value View all feedback.
