9. Mercato

Reviewed By Greg K
Of five dishes which included an appetizer, two mains, an accompaniment and a dessert, an appetizer was exceptional, one main was above average, the accompaniment and second main were average and the dessert was poor. The wine and cocktails were good however be warned there is a very limited choice of cocktails available and no standard bar orders which include such things as martinis. The total bill for two people was shocking compared to the quality of the meal and room.If you are averse to sodium beware. Service was good however again did not meet the quality I would expect for a meal of this price.

Amazing Italian dishes that are authentic, fresh, and homemade. For quality food at these prices, you can't go wrong.
Reviewed By H1620SAwendyk
My husband and I recently celebrated our 65 and 70th birthdays with a joint party at Reaâs with thirty of our best friends and family. After more than 20 years experience with this familyâs service and cooking, we knew that Reaâs was where we wanted to be.Nancy Rea, our contact at the restaurant, helped us effortlessly plan a perfect party. From the menu with antipasto platters for appetizers, the 3 - course meal, the grappa and coffee with dessert, the food was plentiful and delicious. The Prosecco, house wines, and other beverages were also excellent.Tally, our delightful server with Nancy, was warm and friendly, and extremely efficient serving both food and drinks. When one of our guests decided to play guitar to accompany his tableâs rendition of âQue Sera Seraâ ( to get first dibs at the choice of cake) Tally called her brother to fetch her own guitar from her house! And, she taught us the toast for grappa! Wow.The staff decorated the tables as Nancy and I had discussed, and went out of their way to accommodate our guests in the upstairs dining area. It was warm, inviting, and absolutely conducive for all of us to feel like âfamily.âThe cost? It was much less than we expected and certainly well worth the excellent food, drinks, and superb service which started with my first call to arrange a party.We are grateful to Nancy, Tally, the cooks, and all the staff at a Reaâs for their graciousness and hard work which made our birthday party truly memorable for us.Wendy Kurchak ( the younger one!)

Reviewed By Joanne N
This restaurant is very impressive at first glance. We had made a reservation and read the great reviews, however we were disappointed.The menu is very attractive and the food plates are nicely presented. My husband had the chicken parmesan and I had the Caprese salad. The salad was drenched in a very vinegary tasting dressing and the tomato/ cheese ingredients could have used more glaze. My husband's dish was just so so. A friend who was eating with us had a salad and found that it lacked some of the ingredients listed on the menu.Sorry for the not so great review but this¹ place did not do it for us.The food was delivered to our table and it was very difficult to get our waitress's attention. Someone came along eventually and asked how things were in a matter of fact manner...one that does not expect any negative answers and we said just fine.

My wife and I recently had a delicious lunch on the patio at Una Pizza + Wine on a warm August afternoon. We started with a wonderful roasted cauliflower with creme fraiche tahini sauce and dates and followed that up with a prosciutto arugula pizza - both fantastic. The crust of the pizza was perfect. They have an extensive wine listing although we both felt like beer that day. The server was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

What a great night! We went to Aperitivo Bar for dinner. I would suggest making a reservation as it got busy fast. The service was outstanding and the food was even better. We started with calamari and the vegetarian starter platter. So good. Then we all had different pasta dishes and they were even better. I love Italian food and can say I'm a hard client to please but this place is fantastic!

The whole dining experience was superb and its easy to see why Vero Bistro receives such high ratings. This was a very special occasion and I visited the restaurant prior to ask for some specific considerations i.e. seating / timing of courses and they happily obliged. We were welcomed, seated immediately and were well and professionally taken care of through the entire meal. We had the Chef's Tasting - 4 courses- and were highly satisfied with each course. We had a goat cheese salad, Pici Bolognese, the duck and a delicious custard dessert. The food was very fresh and the flavours were incredible. Our server, Jody(?), made excellent recommendations for both food and wine and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the evening by checking with us at appropriate intervals. As well, the chef prepared us an additional dessert as it was a special occasion. Everything about our evening was perfect. The service, food, ambiance was extraordinary and would like to thank the staff for going out of their way to make the evening very special. We will definitely return and highly recommend Vero Bistro Moderne.We are very pleased you had a wonderful evening, and thankyou for choosing us for your special occassion, it is always our pleasure to make the best possible experience for all guests. We will share this review with Jody and all our staff, they will be pleased .Thanks again!Michael
