Pizzeria Via Mercanti

If you think the newly opened Pizzeria Via Mercanti in Toronto's Kensington market is just like Libretto and Queen Margherita, it's not, but that's what makes it just as good. For one, two chefs from Margherita are behind this place, so it's pretty much guaranteed you'll get a delicious pizza. Then there's the understated interior, which makes you feel like you're eating inside someone's house.  Throw in some great service from a waiter with a thick Italian accent and you really do feel like you're getting a home cooked meal.

Order the bocconcini di pizza to start. These little bites are stuffed with ricotta, fior di latte and prosciutto.  Lots of pizza options to choose from and pastas too.
