The pasta that I have ordered twice now from doordash is absolute garbage. Quality and quantity has gone down extremely. My experience in-person was amazing in the past but I had to change my review. I paid $23 for spaghetti carbonara and the pasta was extremely starchy and hard. I actually, in all honesty could not eat it as nuch as I tried. I definitely would not recommend nor would I order again. Sadly I would probably not go in again either as this was a huge waste of money and time.

The food was ok, my pasta could have used a couple more minutes cooking. The sauce was pretty good, I had the creamy truffle sauce with mushrooms and garlic bread with cheese. The bread was really good.

Despite reading many reviews, I was optimistic about my visit to the 17th Ave. location. The restaurant locked ambience. It was a Thursday at 8 o’clock. I was the only person there no other patrons waiter was distracted closing duties for the restaurant. I asked what time they close he said 930. I ordered a bottle of wine and Bruschetta. It was dry, and lacked flavor. Felt like we were a nuisance being there. We opted out and took the wine to go, paid the bill and left. I’m not sure I’d visit this place again.

First time trying. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli. It tastes really good. Fresh pasta comes with creamy sauce.

Our server Ari was really nice. He offered to grade some cheese for our pasta.

Definitely will come back again!

Went here before a show at the Stampede Grounds on a recent Friday night. The food was very good. We all ordered different dishes and had the same positive experience with portion sizes, flavours, pasta firmness, and sauce consistency. A fun touch was that everything was served in skillets. The menu selection was varied—I had the lobster ravioli, my partner had the Gorgonzola pasta, and a nice Caesar salad started the meal.

The service was top-notch—attentive and responsive without being overbearing. Water and bread were provided right away, our drinks were mixed well, and dishes were cleared in good time.

The only slight drawback—and it’s not exactly hidden—is the lack of ambience. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking 17th Ave, it doesn’t offer that “quiet, dimly lit Italian date-night” atmosphere. But if you’re looking for good food, friendly service, and a relaxed spot to enjoy a meal, this place is well worth a visit.

We visited Calgary for a few days and decided to give this spot a try. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly stood out was the service. Cheers to Ari for making our experience fun, his attention to detail and genuine, engaging conversation made our dinner memorable!
