About Italiano Please!

Italiano Please! is a great Italian restaurant with a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance. The service is excellent and attentive without being intrusive. Diners can expect flavorful dishes with large and delicious portions. The duck and veal tortellini with ragu bolognese are cooked to perfection, while the scallops and beef carpaccio are excellent starters. Many customers have praised the restaurant for accommodating special requests, such as gluten-free options, and the service is noted to be outstanding and professional. The menu features fresh, Italian ingredients, and both the pasta and sandwiches are spectacular. The sandwich with pecorino cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and prosciutto is highly recommended, offering a taste of authentic Italian flavors. The owners are very friendly, welcoming, and always make guests feel at home. Their freshly baked bread is amazing, and the lunch specials are great and reasonably priced for downtown. The atmosphere is relaxing, enhanced by tasteful decor and fresh flowers, making it a favorite spot for many diners. The lemon tart is a delicious way to end the meal. The hand-made short rib ravioli and chicken parmigiana received perfect ratings, and the food remains consistently excellent. The restaurant is a wonderful place to dine before attending a performance at the arts centre, with flexible timing and a quick walk. It is also a family-owned cafe that offers genuine Italian food, including biscotti made on the premises and delicious Cesare sandwiches, with options for take away. The authentic Italian cuisine, from Rome, includes tasty pizza, pasta, and sandwiches, and the community art collective adds to the friendly atmosphere. Overall, Italiano Please! provides a warm, simple, and inviting environment, perfect for enjoying authentic Italian cuisine. Definitely worth another visit.

This Mom and Pop family owned cafe is a treasure in downtown Calgary. The food is genuinely Italian. Biscotti made on the premises is absolutely delicious. The Cesare sandwich was also delicious. They also do take away. I highly recommend.

Very authentic Italian food, for amazing prices. The couple running it are from Rome. Delicious pizza, pasta and sandwiches. They also have take away items, like biscotti and a community art collective.

The most delicious Rome Italian food from the nicest people ! We have tried many of their dishes, ordered and stocked our freezer and recently they catered a party we hosted. All of it is amazing ! I highly recommend the white sauce lasagna ! Among others spicy jelly, panini, bruschetta, pork jerky, pasta 4P, etc etc etc. so delicious !
