| - For those who have been to the Mercatto on Bay St, this one has a considerably different feel. I've been to both at lunch, and while the Bay location seems rushed, cramped, and noisy, this location on Toronto street is a bit more open, airy, and relaxed. Despite the more relaxed feel, it's still very possible to be in and out in well under an hour during the week.
The menus is similar (or the same?) between the two locations - a solid selection of largely pasta and paninis. The food has always been quite good here despite the relatively low price point. I'll usually end up with the daily panini special if I'm there for lunch, and have never been disappointed.
Service was good, but not outstanding. Servers exude a slight hipster vibe, but not nearly as much as the nearby Terroni servers who might as well be in an American Apparel ad.
Overall quite good - will definitely be a mainstay.
