Came here for the first time for lunch with a friend and we shared a few items because it was so hard to choose. We wanted to try everything! We decided to try the bruschetta, calamari and manicotti and they were all delicious! I will definitely be back soon for a date night to try more menu items. Our server Sydney was absolutely amazing, we needed her to help us make the decisions on what to order. She even paired it with a great wine for us. Thank you Sydney. We will be back to see you soon!

I planned a birthday lunch w a friend as per the opening hours listed on the website, Google maps, AND the signage on their doors. Called 10 min after doors were supposed to open and was rudely told they were closed for lunches this week, and then she hung up on me while I was still talking. I've lived in this area for 8 years and have enjoyed this restaurant as part of my local, BUT I will not be back. Very disappointing.

One of the best Italian meals I have had in the city. Highly recommend the calamari, bistecca, and carbonara.

Excellent food with amazing service and attention to detail. Street parking only.

Steak was over cooked & tasted a bit off. Overall, a fairly untraditional approach to caprese salad with lettuce and only a small amount of cheese. Manicotti & Gnocchi was good. Bread was quite disappointing and exspensive. Service was a tad slow. For the price it was unfortunate.

6/5 stars for the best service from the most wonderful server , Sydney !! This is an amazing spot who catered to my allergies with such care and detail ! The vodka pasta is the best and I dream about it daily !!! This is my favourite spot in all of Calgary !! Talk about SERVICE and the best food!!!

Lovely place, great service, good veggie options.
I had the gnocchi- a very generous portion.

Food is super awesome, Niko was actually there and was super nice. Pretty small restaurant but it gives it a nice cozy atmosphere. The waiters were super awesome. I don’t usually like cheesecake and when I mentioned that to the waiter, she told me that she also didn’t like it, but the cheesecake on the menu was just good anyway. She bet me that I would like the cheesecake, which I took on and when I tried it, I actually did really like it. The waiter gave me my winnings and I think that’s the best bet I ever made

Wonderful place to eat. I had the carbonara today for lunch and it was masterfully made. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're in the area.
The food was great, so flavourful and the best bruschetta I’ve had. Service was great and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

The food was DELICIOUS, hot, fresh, and tasty. Service was good at first, servers very polite, smiling, but rushed us out. They took our drinks away, and we had only one sip, and cleared our dessert away while we still had not finished. The 300.00 bill was put on our table, without being asked if we were done, or if we would like anything else. That kinda of left a bad "taste" in our mouths. Food was GREAT though.

We had Niko's cater our wedding with a guest list of 100 people. He was a joy to work with , advising us through the whole process. Everything was seamless, from creating and finalizing the menu to the final delivery. The food was absolutely amazing, with five star ratings from all of our guests. We would recommend Niko's to anyone looking for a caterer for their event or even just a place to eat!

This place has gone downhill since our last visit. The Calamari is still great. For our mains, we ordered the penne Al vodka and the cod.
I added chicken to the penne Al vodka. It was awful. Tasted like it came out of a can. Way too much pancetta which ruined the vodka sauce. Terrible dish.
The cod was done with a tomato sauce. Typically fish should be done in a white sauce. It was extremely bland. Included was also a spaghetti pasta with absolutely no flavour.
Overall just terrible. We were asked twice by the waitresses how things were and I did not comment. The owner then came and asked and by this time I had to spill the beans. His answer to the distasteful chicken was that he “braises it himself”. No chance. This was just awful/gross. He then proceeds to say that the table next to us order 2 of the same dish. “Good for them! They probably don’t know good food”.
The reason I’m leaving this review is that after my feedback, nothing was done about eliminating the dish from the bill.
Niko get it together. Your customers deserve better!
