Mercasa Little Italy Eatery & Catering

The taste of the pizza is authentic! The staff are so friendly as well. My son and I will definitely be repeat customers.

Absolutely amazing service and even better food. Highly recommend to anyone in and around Brantford

Seafood lovers, rejoice! This place is a dream. Nestled by the water, the views are almost as stunning as the food. You can tell they work with incredibly fresh ingredients—nothing tastes frozen or overly processed.

We started with oysters on the half shell, each one briny and clean. Then came a seafood tower stacked with crab legs, shrimp, mussels, and lobster—everything perfectly chilled and served with tangy sauces. For the main course, I had the blackened swordfish with a mango salsa, and my wife had the lobster risotto, which was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor.

We finished off with a slice of key lime pie that was both tart and sweet in all the right ways. Fantastic service, fantastic setting, fantastic food.

Wow! We could not say enough good things about this place! We drove half hour to taste the food and it did not disappoint. From the warm welcome, to the focaccia garlic bread and pizza, we were blown away! The service here is excellent. Head chef Luigi made the evening that much more enjoyable with his cheerful attitude. He made the experience more personal.

We thought we would give this restaurant a try given the great reviews it had. It did not disappoint! We had the chicken Parm and pasta and it was fantastic. The chicken melted in your mouth and the pasta was wonderful. I can't wait to come back and I haven't even left yet!!

Got the family chicken parm meal. Great value, lots of food and super fresh focaccia. I can't stop eating the bread! Everything tasted amazing. I definitely will be back.

I’ve been coming here for the past two years. The meals here are always delicious, today I got lasagna and it tasted incredibly fresh. I enjoy the slices of pizza and chicken Parm too. The servers Mia and Angelica were incredibly friendly and very accommodating. I highly recomend coming here for lunch.

I’ve always loved Mercasa for their delicious pizza’s. However, lately the toppings on the pizzas feel sparse for the price, $28 for a half Roman ( on uber eats) just doesn’t match what’s on the plate. There were only 12–15 potato slices across the entire pizza, and they were thick and slightly undercooked. I’m really disappointed 😞

First visit today and will definitely return!!. Service very friendly and helpful. Food was fabulous (chicken parm/veg/lasagna/caesar salad). 2 small suggestions : veg a bit hotter, and salad was heavy on salad dressing for our preference - but we still throughly enjoyed the meal.

Dining room was clean and bright, audio was a little loud (for our preference).

Will be back for take out or dine-in again!

Let me start by saying it would probably be 5 star if I had picked it up instead of using uber since when it arrived it was cold..not even remotely warm but stone cold..
Even reheated the pizza and the garlic knots were awesome and a fair price

We stumbled upon this place by chance but we were blown away. Fluffy, ready to eat pizza slices; sandwiches on incredibly soft focaccia with handmade chips; made to order garlic knots; and Nutella cheese cake. And fresh baguettes! Everything was stellar. The kids couldn't stop raving about the food. Worth every penny.

I've been on a trip to Italy, and I can say with confidence that Mercasa is the real deal. From the moment you walk in, it feels authentic, and the food and service both live up to that promise.
I tried a variety of dishes, and everything was comparable to the food I enjoyed while traveling. The pasta was perfectly al dente with rich, flavorful sauces, and the other main dishes were excellent as well. But what truly set Mercasa apart was the focaccia. I had focaccia almost everywhere I went in Italy, and the version at Mercasa was better than all of them. It was a standout dish- perfectly seasoned and incredibly fresh.
Adding to the wonderful food was the exceptional service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the menu, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience without booking a flight, Mercasa is the place to go. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
