La Luna Rossa Ristorante

Went here last night for my birthday. Had been here before when the wife and I first started dating. A tiny quaint little Italian place with great food. Make reservations, as seating is limited. But overall, great food and service from the main man chef himself. Would go back in a second!

We are fortunate to be served by Alycia who made our 10th years anniversary memorable in this very nice Italian reasturant.The chief and owner Benny cook steak for me that was not on the menu.The food is squisito.
Thank you!!

Best tiramisu I have ever had!

If you like Beautifully cooked Italian Food, prepared by Master Chef Benny with passion he has, then you're at the right location.
We went there on Friday 20th Sept and were treated to an absolute delight c/w beautiful Red Wine.
One note: If you’re in a rush don’t bother to go there, because beautiful food takes time to prepare and serve.
Thank You Benny for an incredible experience.

The gnocchi was absolutely divine. It was like clouds that dissolved in my mouth. The spaghetti was perfection and Barata was soft and creamy. The wine went together with the food wonderfully and the Chef Benny and our waitress were absolute angels who made our visit so much fun and really authentically Italian atmosphere. Magnificent.

Vegetarian options: We are lacto-ovo vegetarians and there were tons of wonderful options!

Omg.. I’ve heard people say gnocchi should taste like little pillows, but never in my life have I experienced it. Utter perfection. It’s a family restaurant, and the Italian go to we’ve been looking for. What a treasure

We didn't have a reservation, but were accommodated regardless, AND the food was excellent and the owner super friendly.

A Culinary Comet in Calgary: La Luna Rossa's Stellar SoiréeStepping into La Luna Rossa on a bustling Saturday evening felt like crashing an Italian family gathering where everyone's welcome and the food is the star. My friends and I, a curious sextet on a gastronomic quest, were embraced by the cozy ambiance of this hidden gem with its modest dining hall and an open kitchen that sizzled with activity. The place was like a beehive, with the owner-chef, a maestro of marinara, orchestrating a symphony of flavors.Our culinary concerto began with a bruschetta topped with burrata that was so divine, I swear the olive oil was squeezed from the heavens themselves. It was a moment of silence for our taste buds as they bowed to the eminence of extra virgin olive oil. Next, the off-menu meat and seafood platter sauntered in, flaunting a fresh octopus salad that refreshed our palates faster than a sea breeze on a scorching day. The calamari was as tender as a love ballad, perfectly harmonizing with the fresh-tasting tomato sauce and chorizo's spicy kick.As the evening unfolded, the White Provini Veal with Porcini Mushrooms in Light Cream arrived, a masterpiece of moderation, with the veal cooked to a tender tease, flanked by sautéed veggies in a supporting role that deserved an Oscar. The Gnocchi with Gorgonzola was a humble side dish that stole the spotlight, making us dive in with the gusto of treasure hunters.With the chef's choice prawn pasta, a dish so packed with passion and flavor, it was like a love letter from Italy, sans the cream but full of soul. And oh, the tiramisu finale! Imagine falling in love for the first time, but with a dessert; creamy, dreamy, with mascarpone that whispered sweet nothings with every spoonful.La Luna Rossa, a family affair bursting with authenticity, proves that passion plated is the secret ingredient to culinary bliss. This Calgary rarity, with its small but mighty menu, showcases cooking as an art form. So, if you're looking to satiate your epicurean cravings with a side of familial warmth, let La Luna Rossa be your guiding star in the culinary cosmos of Calgary. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you for the journey!
