We started off with pizza and diablo shrimp and both were amazing. My entree, a white wine sauce pasta with shrimp and tomato, was excellent as well. Good prices as well. where the resto loses points is for a very cramped dining room. The space is small and they are trying to maximize it which is fine, but there was a light by the bottom of my chair I kept bumping into? As well at one point one of those men trying to sell roses came in and approached our table. No one asked him to leave, in fact he was waiting by the bar for something so not sure if they are encouraging this behaviour?

We went back to Capocaccia on a Saturday night. The food…read morewas good but we had a number of issues that really made for a not great dining experience. The tables on the Yonge side are very close to each other and our friends were constantly bashed by servers and patrons alike. We asked the waiters to be more careful but with the lack of space to even reach other tables - pretty impossible. The other thing was that it got dark early (due to a thunderstorm) and they did not turn up the lights in the restaurant. We asked them to, but again they did nothing. We had to get our phone flashlights to see the menu. The pizza I had was tasty and my hubby liked the octopus appetizer but we do find them lacking on the comfort side of things. Our friends have said they won't go back! Diner beware!

Our friendly server was attentive, took out order quickly and kept our glasses filled with water (it's the simple things in life, folks). We shared a margarita pizza and the fungi pasta which were both absolutely delicious. The pasta was so perfectly buttery and showcased the mushrooms well. The pizza was a great choice too. We loved the thin and crispy crust, the fresh and tasty tomato sauce, and the touch of fresh basil. We loved every bite. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

The young woman provided excellent service. It was late, so the restaurant was largely empty, hence quiet.. We returned last night and, upon walking in, were taken aback by the noise level. Holy cow. The pizza was again quite good, but the service, not so much, The server was friendly, but missing in action. We literally had to ask for a menu, ask for parmesan, ask for the desert menu, ask for the bill; each time waiting to catch his eye before we could ask. Staffing, unfortunately, is a problem.

We came specifically to try their Spaghetti Cartoccio, which unfortunately didn't turn out as well…read moreas we hoped. The homemade squid ink spaghetti only faintly tasted of squid ink and didn't pair that well with the tomato sauce which overwhelmed it. The mussels were not open (sign they aren't fresh) and had sand or pieces of shell in it. Tiger shrimp was a good size and the calamari was tender. It wasn't a hit at the table. The rest of the dishes were much better. I would recommend the pizza or the Vitello Saltimbocca instead. Pizza had great texture and the toppings are creative. Dessert of tiramisu is light and delicious, that was a winners.

We started off with the "Italian"'cocktail to drink followed by the pear salad. I really enjoyed the salad and found it light and refreshing. We also ordered the pizza Bianca and the Mozzafiato. Both pizze were delicious, with a perfectly charred crust. Our waiter was pleasant and helpful. The restaurant seems recently renovated and offered and modern and vibrant feel.

Never disappoints!…read more Popped in with an impromptu reservation - literally made it as I was walking over for three people. Grateful I did because the walk-in became absolutely insane right after we were seated. Understanding that they were shortstaffed and not expecting the crowd that they got, we had a great experience. Appreciated that the server knew her wine and recommended something that was great for the three of us. I had the ravioli, and we had two pizzas that we shared as well. The tiramisu, while I found quite heavy, the whipped cream that they used was absolutely delicious!

Not too busy on a Tuesday and lots of availability due to location. I'm sure this place is busy on weekends. Branzino was excellent. Would comeback for that. Funghi Assoluti - was delightful.

The place is open and fresh as it has very high ceilings, mixed seating at tables and counters. It is clean and well decorated. The staff are friendly and helpful with questions. I particularly enjoy their grilled chicken (spicy oil, so know this if you don't like spicy). My kids enjoy their pizzas and pastas, we haven't had any that they haven't enjoyed. They are foodies. If there's one thing they would say to improve, it would be larger portions (they are big eaters!!). We all enjoy their calamari. And oh, their espresso is nice!!!

I was in Toronto for the weekend and arrived at my hotel fairly late on Thursday night. I asked the…read moreconcierge for a recommendation for a nice spot for dinner and he recommended Cantina Mercatto, which was just around the corner from the hotel. I headed over about 9:30pm and I was greeted warmly and shown to a nice table. The restaurant was very nice inside - I quite liked the decor and high ceilings. I ordered a cocktail called "It's Complicated" which was exactly what I was craving. The server recommended their winter special for dinner, which was any pizza or pasta plus dessert for $32. I chose the pasta carbonara and tiramisu for dessert. The pasta was really flavourful, and I loved the egg yolk on top as it added an extra level of richness to the dish. The tiramisu was really light - I wish it had more mascarpone but it was still very good. Service was excellent and I left full and very happy.

The pasta was perfect little pillows. And the pizza was fantastic, everything I want in a bee sting pizza, and beautiful crust. Not pictured was the garlic dip which accompanied it so well.

I had the Quattro Stella, mushrooms, artichoke, prosciutto cotto and olives. My wife, from Rome, went with a white pizza, BORGORICCO. Burrata, zucchini, cherry tomato & mozzarella. It looked amazing, sadly she refused to share but she did rave about it after. Drink wise we kept it simple with a glass of Valpolicella Ripasso and prosecco. For dessert we split a tiramisu. This was more of a sponge cake version, good for what it was. Friendly and knowledgeable service. Prices were fairly standard and acceptable for the quality. Look forward to returning to try some of the other items on their inviting menu. Who am I kidding I'm sure I'll end up having the pizza again, it was that good.
