"We recently used Mercatino (The Bow location) to cater our event again after a very successful experience the previous year. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious. There was more than enough food for everyone, and not a single guest had anything negative to say. The setup was seamless, and the service was outstanding. There were plenty of menu options to choose from, making it easy to accommodate everyone. We worked with Rishi throughout the process. Rishi was professional, helpful, and provided excellent recommendations. We’re already looking forward to our next event and working with Rishi and the Mercatino team again."

"We had a small, corporate, holiday lunch today for our team of 15. I ordered a traditional holiday, hot buffet meal that included roast chicken, roasted sweet potato, stuffing, vegetable medley, salad, buns and delicious gravy with treats for dessert. This meal was so amazing and everyone on the team was extremely impressed by the quality and flavour of the food. The Mercatino team consistently knocks it out of the park with their friendly, accommodating service and there delicious food. Highly recommend!"

"Hi Rishi, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the fantastic catering at our party last Friday. All I’ve heard from everyone are praises about the food—it was truly enjoyed by all! The service was excellent, and everything ran so smoothly. In fact, the food was so popular that people are already jokingly requesting bigger plates next time. :) Please extend our thanks to your team. We truly appreciate it and look forward to working with you again next year! I have a quick question—would it be possible to order a large tray of Baked Pasta Primavera with Seasonal Vegetables, exactly the same as what we had at our party? This would be for December 31, and I can pick it up at 1:00 PM. I have some visitors coming, and they’re big pasta lovers. Your pasta is the best I’ve ever had! If this is possible, could you please let me know the cost? Best regards,"
