The service was honestly the most amazing part and food was delicious. You can really tell that all the staff love their job. Wish I can eat here everyday.

These are by far the most delicious appetizers I’ve had in Calgary in the 5 years I’ve lived here.

Food was absolutely amazing but can't say the same about the drinks and service. The cocktails taste like straight hard liquor. Service was off...there were times where not even a single employee was present in the dining room.

Excellent food, wine, and service. Really can't recommend this place enough. One of Calgary's hidden gems.

This is such a hidden gem! Fabulous menu and friendly staff with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. A perfect spot for a group or a one on one experience. I absolutely love the food every time! Their cocktail menu is also super fun and unique. 10/10 experience

Lovely meal. The manager there (possibly owner) has been there every time we’ve gone. We’re from Lethbridge and have had a great experience every time. Lovely meals.

Our first time there and the service was amazing. Server was attentive and fulfilled all our requests. Great food for the value. Definitely would recommend and return.

I had the black cod as cioppino is no longer on the menu. It came in a green coloured broth with tiny pasta like orzo. Fish skin was seared nicely but I wouldn't order it again. My gf had the shrimp tagliolini which is a staple. Can't go wrong with that ever unlike you dislike or are allergic to seafood. It was busy on a Friday night and our server was in his toes and really took care of us. I warned him about my dairy issues when he saw me wanting to eat my gf's pasta he quickly rushed in to say it does have some cream in the sauce. Amazing service! Love the food but it does get loud in here. Make reservations!

Went on a date here, Had the most amazing attentive server, really made the night . Was loud only cause I booked a date as a flames game was about to start. Great food would go back for sure

The entrance is not clearly marked, leading Uber drivers to frequently mistake it for the casino entrance.
The food is so good though.

Took a couple clients to Cardinale before the hockey game December 10. Server was great. Sat in the NW corner and that location is good. There were 4 of us. Ordered Focaccia bread and there were 2 pieces. Had to cut them. Should have been cut into 4 or be four pieces. 2 meals we had were good. 2 guests ordered Lasagna, which could have been better. The bottom pasta layer was overcooked and could barely cut through it. Not worth the $40 dollars per plate. To be honest, it was a little pricey for the quantity and quality of the food.
