City Kitchen Restaurant N` Bar in Toronto

Beautiful restaurant/decor in an otherwise very drab mall, its quite the surprise. Walking into this place from inside Eaton centre feels magical, as if you have walked into a completely different country/place. Otherwise the food is alright, decent Italian fare, good but not mind blowing. The pizzas are definitely worth trying. Waitresses and the staff are very friendly and kind. It's great place to take your family and or visitors because of the location.

Love coming here after shopping at Eaton centre or before movies. Food is always good and service is lovely.

A modern Italian restaurant inside CF Toronto Eaton Center

Food was warm and yummy and they were nice about small modifications. Servers were super friendly too. Overall atmosphere was cute as well.

Came with a work group, the servers are great, the food is delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend. My only issue is that there is not enough to in the restaurant to absorb the noise so we had to shout to communicate.

There is isntant nostalgia here. Regardless of what restaurant takes up this space, it will always be called Mr. Green Jeans - Even if nothing looks the same. The decor is spot on. It’s both spectacular and typical of similarl restaurants. The food was very reasonable priced and the portions okay. We weren’t blown away by what we ate, but we didn’t leave any left on our plates ether. I had the seafood linguini which was yummy and exactly what I expected. He had the pancetta pizza which he rather loved. Dessert was great! I absolutely loved the banana chocolate pudding and might stop by again just to have that! Service was pleasant but really slow.

Amazing pasta and spicy chicken recommended by nice host! You can tell they put thoughts into the dishes. Also nice atmosphere with the mezzanine and high ceiling, can’t believe I never walked in here!

Very standard Italian food. Not great, not bad. Just fine. Standard prices for Toronto Italian food.

Pizza, pasta, and mains. Not too expensive for the quality. Serves until 11 on Friday, so good for an after the movie meal. A little more casual than other versions of Mercatto. Pleasant view out the back of the restaurant overlooking a Church and a few trees.

Very nice mood and service. Not so pricey. Pizza was a little flavorless and very chesseless to what I am used to. Not so good to eat but nice to have a nice time.

I didn't like the food at all. I get it that you create a fancy vibe but a place it worth visiting again only if the food is worth the money you are paying for it. I didn't get thaf feeling here. I have been to better italian places than this one.

A great place to go for business lunch.

Great food... decent service! Waiter made some comments about it being a business lunch so anything goes... not cool!

This establishment as every restaurant of Mercatto’s chain has a cool atmosphere!! Second floor has a great view, especially now (Christmas time)! Go there after sunset & enjoy the light!!) Someone did a good job with dinging good staff, which is really friendly & trained well! Food is solid 4 stars! But the prices seems high!

A must stop for carbonara. It's usually spot on and consistent, but this order, which I split with my daughter, was heavy on the pepper. They quickly replaced it, no questions asked.

One of my husband's favorite restaurants. Pizza is great. Table and chairs where we sat not too comfortable. Service is good. I definitely recommend this place.

Great great great pizza. Buuuuut I have to say something that happened to me and my boyfriend. May be I'm crazy but this is what I felt. One week ago we decided to taste the pizza. We didn't look so groomed that day. And they place us upstais, even many tables were aviable downstairs . Today (again on Wednesday) we were wearing better clothes and they sat us downstairs, even that this day the place was fuller. I don't know, may be I'm crazy but it felt discriminatory.

This place was ok. Food was decent. Drinks were ok depending on who made them (one bar tender must have known how to make drinks. One had no clue). The service was terrible though. The waitress was stoic. We were left sitting and had to struggle to get the bill asking several people. Hopefully for them that it’s just one person.

The food was good. The markup is due to the location, not the quality of the food

Terrible food, disappointed in the quality. Veal meatballs were boiled and mushy, calamari was decent but very small, we also had the cheese board that wasn’t very good either, not very good prosciutto. I have been to Mercatto and bay and college which is way better so to come to this location was an extreme disappointment.

The pizza and the pasta here are delicious. They come in smaller sizes comparing to other restos. The staffs are friendly and knowledgeable. Since it is inside the mall, the parking here is not free. Reservation is highly recommended during lunch and dinner hours. Great restaurant for date night and family.

While we were students trying their menu, I did extend my gesture and paid some tip of 2$ for 20$ bill. Waiter laughed at us the moment I entered tip. Can't believe the pressure for tip and the way he humiliated us.

Good atmosphere, especially given that it's connected to the Eaton Centre, but the food wasn't great, and the service wasn't great either. I asked for a jug of water as I was very thirsty from shopping in an overheated mall for 3 hours the weekend before Christmas, and they have a ton of the jugs available; yet, I was told no and offered sparkling water at first. Later they said they'd come by more often to give me chilled water as I needed it, which they did at first, but than I went without water for 30 min. After ordering our food took about 35 minutes to be prepared, even though it's just pasta and pizza and when it came it was far less than great. The pasta was cold and lacked flavour, whilst the pizza, despite tasting well enough, had almost no toppings on it, and was both burnt on the outside and uncooked in the middle.Overpriced to say the least.

Came here during work break with my boyfriend. I ordered the bolognese pasta, and he ordered the 4 cheese pizza. The food came fast and it was super fresh. My pasta looked a bit small in quantity but there was a lot of meat sauce, kind of wish there was more pasta though (it’s not that expensive?). The pasta was cooked perfectly though. The pizza tasted really good and was quite larger than expected.

This is always a nice place to visit after shopping in the mall. They ran out of their house bread so they bake some pizza dough and slathered it with oil and garlic. It was delicious seriously. Great service and the food is always excellent.

Good place for some Italian food. Location is right inside the Eaton Ctr which is very convenient. Service is decent. I'd like to go back to try more items on the menu that caught my eye. Would recommend!

Delicious food with fair prices! Our waiter was amazing, extremely accommodating for certain dietary restrictions (dairy allergy) as well which I appreciated loads, especially considering that it was an Italian restaurant, meaning lots of cheese and milk in everything. He recommended the seafood pasta dish to me, and made sure to mention my dairy allergy to the chef. It was delicious! Extremely fresh and flavourful. The portion as well was perfect, enough to fill me up but not enough to make me feel sick after eating. Overall, an extremely positive experience and I can’t wait to come back! Thanks to much Trattoria Mercatto :)

First time at this place. I see that some other reviews are complaining about their waiters... All I know is that the young Asian lady that was our server was amazing: smiling, polite, expedient, helpful.As for the food, it was a very solid Italian cuisine. We had a veal panini and a lamb pasta - both very good. Not "blow your socks off", but definitely on the upper side of the scale.

Love the food and great service. Was served by Matt who was friendly and attentive, but also gave me space to enjoy my meal without hovering. I'll definitely return. Can't wait to enjoy the Chianti again 🙂 and another delicious entree.

I've been to this restaurant on two separate occasions and MmMmMmM Delicious! supper yummy and fresh! In the summer time they have a great Patio to enjoy gathered around you is old stone -gives you a little University vibe. Its calm and relaxing. Honestly a very nice spot to catch a bite after shopping them you can go enjoy a walk down by city hall afterwards. We had a Pizza during our first visit and then Gnocchi during our 2nd visit.

Came here during the busy winter holidays and the service was extremely friendly and efficient. The food was also delicious. I would come here again. :)

Good food. Rude service. We are tourists from NYC visiting a cousin that lives just outside Toronto. We met downtown and decided to try this place while walking around the Eaton Center. The service was slow. That might be understandable, but the attitude from the waitress was disappointing. She seemed to assume that we were familiar with the menu, first when asking for Canadian beer, with a tone of annoyance she said they don't serve Canadian beer. Fine, we ordered some other type of beer, and my cousin ordered sparkling water, which I usually avoid. Later on, my cousin explained it was not mineral water, but just sparkling water, and she gave me a bit to try. At the point, the waitress came by to rudely warn, again assuming that we are familiar with the restaurant, that she was going to charge us extra if I had more of my cousin's water. Wow! Apart from that, the food was good. Too bad, the server's attitude soured the meal.

The place itself looks nice, cool! The food is “pretty good” but nothing really special! Needs more ...Price is high for what is served! I do miss the old Mario’s Italian Restaurant it used to be inside Eaton Centre lowest floor.

I was there on Saturday night with my husband for my birthday.Nov 16. The dinner was fantastic. Lots of flavour and friendly staff. Nice decor in the restaurant as well. -off topic- I think I lost a black leather mitt there, my favourite. Did someone happen to find it??

I never knew this place was so large! I wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be quite spacious and the food was delicious. Ordered the duck pappardelle and the food was steaming hot, fresh, and came rather quickly. Would come again!

It was Black Friday and we dodged shoppers to get to TM for drinks and apps before our show. We were lucky to get seats at the bar and lucky to get Amanda, who made our long-awaited date night extra special! Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Would go again for sure!

Beautiful, hidden gem! Went for an early dinner with my girlfriends after wedding dress shopping, the owner/manger was quick to spot us and make our experience extra special! Food and wine were excellent, looking forward to a return visit. (Too busy eating and drinking to take photos - sorry!)

Great service and a great place for a light meal or drink with friends! Always love the ambiance of this place and it's a great place to reconnect with friends. Food is delicious as always and the wines are tasty!

Went for dinner as a solo diner after a long day of shopping. Delicious pasta that arrived quickly! Kind staff and great service. Definitely will go here again when I'm out shopping.

We went here after doing errands. Great place. We sat outside at the patio. Not so busy. Service is fast and friendly staffs. I ordered the Roman mule and Linguine di mare and tiramisu for dessert. Didn't like the pasta much but we all have different taste. Overall, I would still recommend!

The food is super, it was a great experience dining here. Their lemon olive cake is brilliant! Highly recommend! Aidan was very nice.

Visiting from Montreal. Stopped there for lunch. Food was very good! Server was friendly and professional. I’m writing this sitting down at that same restaurant two days later.

Had a quick afternooon snack. Ordered the meatballs (veal and pork, i cant remember exactly what it's called) and the diavolla pizza. Loved both! Wish came here for lunch instead. Staff were very attentive. We sat by the window so we had the sun while staying inside with airconditioning. Will be back!!

Extremely long waiting time for food after ordering. We were served our starters (neither of which requires cooking) half an hour and our mains more than 1 hour after ordering - unacceptable at lunch, even if it was very busy. They were obviously prioritizing pizzas as these seemed to fly out of the kitchen. Unfortunately our party of four hadn't ordered any. Seafood linguine was far too spicy, even if the waiter had warned me it had some "kick" to it. Nobody in Italy eats pasta with that much chile in it. The three mussels were white and sickly looking, the calamari was like rubber. Not impressed. The starters and other mains were better. There was no time for dessert so we skipped that. Service was friendly and chatty. The kitchen needs to get it together.

Great Italian food in the mall. Good drink selection with wood fired pizza. Lots of shareable starters for a little break during shopping

Good food and great ambience. There was a restaurant called Green Jeans before this one in the same spot. Trattoria Mercatto does justice as well. I do miss the outdoor patio balcony that used to be there. Reasonable prices for eaton centre and their gnocchi is great. I requested some basil and garlic to make it to my taste.

We had a very good dinner here. The atmosphere is cozy and service was great.We had bistecca which was amazing, great brussel sprouts and average eggplant parmesan.

I had lunch there with my boyfriend and I can say that the food and the place are very good! They have some good prices in the menu (check their pizzas, they are AMAZING!).We had their burrata and their 4 cheese pizza (Quattro Formaggi).I expected more from the burrata cheese, but that is not their fault. It simply has less flavor than I was expecting, but they were able to turn it into a magnificent dish since the beets and baby arugula salad was delicious.The pizza is amazing! The dough is an Italian classic... you will not forget it! And also the ingredients are good! You know a good cheese and a good tomato sauce when you eat them, that is exactly what we felt. The pizza has a pretty good size (12"), so for us, it was enough to share.

Although it was a busy Thursday night, the service we received was top notch! At no point did we have to wait to call our server. He was extremely helpful and attentive. The food was phenomenal! The calamari was lightly breaded and NOT chewy, compared to other places. I love pesto, so the bread was a must order. The chicken was crispy yet juicy and spicy at the same time. From start to finish everything was a delight. One of my new favourites!

Not yet a 5, but if there’s a 4.5 star rating, that’s what I will give Trattoria Mercatto at Eaton Centre. We ordered calamari for appetizers which was lightly breaded and succulent, we loved it. I ordered the albacore tuna seared on outside and slightly raw on the inside with pureed pepper and tomato as sauce and some greens. I had the potato fingerlings replaced with carrots and it was just delish! My husband ordered the arctic char and he truly enjoyed it including the seared cauliflower and fingerling potatoes. Both were tasty and really filling. The portions are not that big but probably a little more than one person can take. Price is somewhat on a higher end as expected and service is really wonderful but overall it’s worth it. Would not mind coming back next time. And oh, their cup of coffee is like a soup bowl - huge! Husband not complaining though. 😊
