Our family had such a great experience here. Highly recommend! There was 8 of us and the service was so amazing and fast. Food was absolutely delicious and hot. We will definitely be back again. Only reason I gave atmosphere 4 stars is because there was an awful smelling Glade type air freshener right by our table and it very much took away from the wonderful food smells that it was trying to mask.

Service was crap! The waitress forgot to bring a bowl to put my mussel shells into or a spoon to eat my bouillabaisse. None of the clams in the dish had flesh in the clams. The mussels had tiny bits of flesh. The shrimp were good. When she brought the credit card machine, the bill on the machine read $67,831.00. When I pointed out that the bill was, actually, $67.83, she laughed but apologized. Beer and white wine were warm, not cold. The waitresses were foreign and obviously chosen for low salary, not expertise. Only plus was low prices for meals. But, then, you get what you pay for

We went here for lunch. The server was super polite and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable.

I ordered a ham and mushroom pizza and it was perfectly cooked. Two people could easily share one pizza. The portion sizes are generous and food was great.

We enjoyed our food here and would go back.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options clearly marked on the menu.

Parking: There is free parking in a lot right outside the restaurant.

It's a cute, tiny little restaurant. Best Italien? Maybe in Cochrane. The service was good, I'm glad I finally got to eat here. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back though.

Decent menu, pretty great service. The food was not bad but not something to write home about. Nice intimate dining room

We had a thoroughly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The moment we walked in, we were hit with a strong mildew smell, which should have been a red flag. Unfortunately, the food didn't fare much better. The calamari was fried in an odd-tasting oil, was to have a spicy tomato sauce it was just marinara sauce. The lasagna had lots of meat sauce but it was almost noodle-less, the worst of all was the carbonara tasted like watered-down hot eggs.

The only redeeming quality was our friendly server. Sadly, the subpar food and unpleasant atmosphere outweighed the good service, far from authentic Italian food! Left us with upset stomachs and a strong desire to warn others. 0/5 for food and atmosphere, and 5/5 for service. Not recommended

Amazing service, fantastic food, this is my new favorite Italian place! It's tucked away in a quiet location but it's definitely a hidden gem. The food is delicious and I always stop here on my way back to Calgary from Ghost Lake. They even allow dogs on the patio as well. Would recommend 100%
