This is our 'local restaurant' and has been a favourite for several years. They have an excellent selection of pastas and desserts are to die for. Last night we had the duck confit crostini, the calamari and the red and green cabbage salad. They were all great although the calamari could have been a little less breaded. The pasta stuffed...

That is what it felt like. The server was fantastic made the meal fun. He promptly asked if we wanted Cava. Of course, and we had Lemoncella. Exactly how we had it when we were in Sorrento. They made a delicious arrabiata for me. Not as hot as I like it - but delicious. Our table ordered the tomato/basil soup.... More

my husband and I went for lunch, only a few people in the restaurant but service was very slow. We were left waiting for quite a few minutes at the top of the stairs before being seated. Waiter was actually quite rude when he finally came over to take our order. My salad was served on a warm plate, which... More

We went as a group of six on a Friday night. The food here was great, and everyone in our group seemed to love their food. However, the wait was inconvenient and the bar area is much too small. I couldn't even get a seat at the bar let alone a drink for the entire 40 minutes we waited. Since... More

Make sure to plan time to wait in line. As they don't take reservations. But the wait is well worth it. I've never heard one bad review about the food Nd the service is amazing. Only real complaint us the restaurant is small and noisy if you were in a romantic date you wouldn't be able to hear each other... More

I've heard good things about this place and my wife has made many pleasant visits, so we all agreed. The surroundings were quaint, it was spacious... More

Located on the 2nd floor in the Sunnyside Mall, you will find very good italian lunches and dinners. Good choices of pastas, salads & soups, pizza, and other entrée dishes, and desserts as well. Very good and friendly services, and dishes well presented. Busy at times, but one can still hold a conversation. Full dinner for two between $80 -... More

We took the family out on a Thursday night to Il Mercato. We hadn't been there in a while. Next time we will not be as long between visits. We think it is even better than before. Our selections we fantastic. The taste and quality of the food was perfect. Service was fantastic. Highly recommended.

We have been going to Il Mercato for years. Last Friday night when we were there I thought that I should write a review for this great restaurant. They were busy with a bit of a line up when we arrived. It didn't take long to get a table. I has the scallop appetizer, scallops with a parsnip puree and... More
