My family and I have been to II Mercato numerous times and each visit gets better and better, no question. My wife is celiac and nearly every dish they have can somehow be accommodated to be GF & the table bread they provide is also fresh and GF! The staff are incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. We recently did our gender reveal and they went above and beyond. Thank you so so much

Best Smitty’s I have ever been to! The service and food is fantastic. I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and they have a specific gluten free menu along with options on the regular menu and have never gotten sick from the food ever!! They use different coloured plates for allergens, it’s very thoughtful.

We went there today as a table of 5 and we were very excited as we heard very good things about their gluten free menu. No sooner did we order and a mouse ran across the floor below our table! The food came and I’m not sure what kind of meat is used in the egg rolls but they were the worst I’ve ever had. No one at the table ate as the food was not good. Photo attached of what was left due to the poor quality. I do not recommend it for the food! The atmosphere with the fish tanks was great for the kids! They loved watching the fish in the tanks and pond.

What a find! The decor is upscale with a fireplace in the back (though I still preferred the front booths). The staff is very personable without being intrusive. And the food is WAY above par -- especially for gluten free options! Many items are already GF and most others have gf options. BEST seafood chowder in all of NS (and I have tried every GF chowder out there). Also, I want to say how reasonably priced everything is here. Refreshing, considering how overpriced most restaurants are today.

This was a go-to staple for my fiancé and I whenever we were in the area, but it has left us disappointed the last few visits. The first five or six times we visited our visit was a 5/5. The food was great! The staff were perfect. But in the last 6 months or so, it has been a 2 maybe 3/5 stars... Not sure if there was a shift in the kitchen, or what happened, but, being gluten free, I have been not been convinced I have actually gotten an entirely gluten free meal. I never had an issue with the wings before, and they always looked to be GF. But the last two times we visited, the staff seemed to be absolutely confident that the wings are GF, but after I've eaten them, I've felt sick afterwards. I hoped it was just a one off so I gave them a second chance, but, now I regret that. My fiancé was also disappointed by his own meal (the tostadas) this last time we came by. He mentioned they were damp, and the entire bowl fell apart in his hand. Since this was one of our favourites, we are deeply saddened to see this place disappoint us.
