| - We were able to get reservations for 8 people for 6pm on a Friday night, something that we had trouble doing at other venues downtown (including other Mercattos).
The service was good, and I really appreciated them splitting our bill for us, since we were all paying on cards, and since we ordered very differently, and thus splitting wouldn't have been fair. (Says the girl who probably ordered the most of anyone at the table.)
I shared the charcuterie plate. I do love me my cured meats, but this one didn't wow. I wouldn't recommend it. I then ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and the budino for dessert. The food was fine, but nothing blew me away, although the budino was my favourite of the night. Salted caramel people. The answer is always salted caramel.
Also, the restaurant was quite cold, and many of us had to throw on extra layers to keep warm. No one likes to be shivering through dinner, especially if they are still shivering after a plate of pasta and a glass of red wine (typical warmer upers).
1/2 app, 1 pasta, 1 glass of wine, 1 dessert = $45 with tax and tip
