My go-to Italian spot in Calgary! So good and family run so you know the service and quality is unbeatable! I recommend it to everyone. The fresh grab and go market is also amazing.
We always have such a great experience here. The food is incredible, service and vibe are always 10/10 and I find the servers really knowledgeable which i appreciate. It’s one of our first picks when we go out for dinner. Also super kid friendly which is amazing

Mercato West is a restaurant that offers a fine dining experience, known for its inviting ambiance and impeccable service. It features a spacious layout with ample seating, making it an ideal spot for family celebrations while still allowing for enjoyable conversations. The menu includes a variety of dishes, such as pastas, seafood, and desserts, all bursting with flavor and crafted with care. The pastas, particularly the Carbonara and ragù pasta, have received praise, though there have been some issues with timing, as main courses were served too soon. The gnocchi remains a standout dish, receiving universal acclaim from diners, alongside the risotto, which impressed even a celiac guest. The steak, marsala chicken, and octopus with brussel sprouts and asparagus were stunning, complemented by excellent sauces. Starters like caprese, bruschetta, and arancini were delicious, while the affogato made for a perfect finish. The wait staff, known for their friendliness and attentiveness, provide wonderful service. Although some dishes, like the risotto and Caesar salad, have faced criticism for heavy-handed use of truffle oil and overcooking, the overall dining experience at Mercato West is seen as positive, with beautiful presentation and excellent value. However, the restaurant does not provide high chairs, which may deter families with young children, and the open concept, while inviting, can lead to a noisy atmosphere. Reservations are recommended due to the restaurant's popularity.
