50 Best Italian Restaurants in Edmonton

“My son celebrated his engagement here, and from start to finish, the owner Cristo and his team were exceptional. They were accommodating, kind, supportive, and provided outstanding service. The food was phenomenal—full of flavor and truly authentic Italian. It was a wonderful evening, and having the singer added a special touch that made the night even more memorable and enjoyable. Thank you to everyone at Amore Cafe for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable celebration for my son, his fiancée, and all of our guests! :)“

“Dawson makes a great panini sandwich, thank you!“

“Beautiful, cozy, laid back atmosphere. The Ricotta hazelnut pancakes are absolutely addictive!! Staff are super welcoming and rather wonderful! You have to try at least one of their concoctions if you're in the city!!“

“Excellent service and the food was amazing.
I ordered their grilled cheese sandwich which was the best I have ever had. Their rosemary fries was so good and held their crunch. I also ordered the beet salad to bring for dinner and it was perfect amount and great flavors. With my lunch I had a cocktail. I chose the one that had passion fruit. It was not too sweet but had a kick to. Lastly got a latte to go. Smooth and creamy. Best meals ever!“

“The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. I have chosen to go to Bravo Pizza as it is very close to my work, I am able to eat in under an hour. I have tried a number of different dishes and have liked them all. When I enter the restaurant I am greeted right away by the hosts ( who call me boss, which I like very much).. The alfredo tortellini is my favourite along with the chicken soup. Also the pepperoni pizza Lawrence - Edmonton“

“Navie was absolutely wonderful. the Food was delicious and will be back !!!!!“

“Always great going to the city and stopping by here. Service was excellent when we stopped during the rodeo weekend. Food is always good. And it's a fun atmosphere. Parking is not the easiest but that's the only hard part during the construction out front.“

“So love this place. If you are ever looking to cater a dinner or just pick up lunch it is completely worth it! Highly recommended!!! #bucasandpastas #localgem #shoplical #supportlocal #eatlocal #yegeats #yegrestaurant #yeglocal #yegbusiness“

“The tasty tomato is a delightful local restaurant that had been around for many years. We came here while family was in the city and everyone enjoyed their meals. A reservation is recommended, particularly for a larger group. While the menu isn't as extensive as some others, what they do feature is done well. The price was reasonable.“

“The food was very good, however the portion sizes are quite small for the prices. Went with a small group of 4, with a $400 bill and none of us were actually full when all was said and done. There was also a long wait between courses. I would recommend and would go back as the taste was amazing, but would plan better now that I know what we’re getting.“

“What an amazing experience. The food and service was top tier. Michael the manager made me feel right at home like a guest in his house. It's like we were friends for years. I highly recommend Sorrentino's. Will definitely be back.“

“We had a great evening, with great food and great service! Thanks Bianco!“

“My husband and I went to The Moon Cafe and Pizza yesterday (18thSeptember), we had the best lunch we have had in a long time. Service is brilliant and I had a Blue cheese pizza, which was to die for. Took home the Veg Lasagne and it was the best!!/ We will be going again with family and friends hopefully. Keep the great work up guys, yr one of the best.“

“We went for my niece Myrakle's 18th birthday 🥳 the waitress (Kim) was amazing so funny and made us feel comfortable. We had a big group about 16 people everything went smoothly and the food teast great and the price was decent.“

“A huge thank you to the chefs and staff at Rigolettos for making our daughter’s First Holy Communion such a memorable occasion. The food, wine, and service were all flawless—and delicious, truly beyond our expectations. We are incredibly grateful for everything & for being so accommodating. Thank you all so much!

“Ragazzi is a family-owned business, with not only amazing Italian food, but also with very handsome pizza and pasta makers!!“

“I have gone here for years for authentic Italian food just like my Nonna made.
My son first took me there and told me her sauce tasted just like mine.
Although I was skeptical I went.
He was right.
It's hard to say what the best thing on the menu is because everything we have ever had was a winner. You can litterally taste the love in every bite.
The food is great the prices are fair and the portions are generous.
I love the owner, Maria, like family and her grandson is so sweet to us as well. The staff is awesome, the place is clean and they always accommodate our family celebrations.
Pasta Brioni is really the only choice for authentic Italian food.“

“I went with my aunt for a girls night out. I was full from lunch so I didn't want to over do it with dinner at Sorrentino's.. well the meal was so delicious I just couldn't stop. A bottle of vino and the Pollo Rusticana hit the spot. The chicken was so tender and juicy, the pasta was done to perfection! Excellent meal and service! Great atmosphere in this quaint location. Highly recommend!! They also have cooking classes and mushroom foraging walks. Very cool restaurant. They also have dry mushrooms soup for sale i purchased for a gift for a freind.“

“One of the best experiences we have had in a long time, service was amazing. Was there for my birthday and from the wine, service and food. It will definitely be one of our go to restaurants. Would recommend for anyone that wants good Italian“

“I do not know any other place in Edmonton that you can get a veal chop done med rare and taaassty as hell.

Waitress-the tall blonde did not miss a beat...did nine tables by herself.....hats of to the crew ......my buddy had the lamb and was outstanding..........“

“Went for dinner and the food was some of the best food we have eaten in a very very long time. Pizza is cooked right there in a wood fire oven. Pasta is fresh and amazing. Calamari was cooked to perfection. Also try the focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service was exceptional.“

“Sorrentino’s is my favorite place to dine, the food is always great and the atmosphere and staff are wonderful. Had the greatest time at lunch in St. Albert with my brother who is a chef. We both had the chicken parm which was the best anywhere. Highly recommend for a dining experience. ❤️“

“Best soup and spot around!! Second to none.“

“I absolutely love the pasta but unfortunately I would have to say that I would have like to have seen them change there gloves between touching the money from the previous customer and portioning out my vegetables for my create my own pasta dish and then again after I paid and moving to the next person after me. Especially right now during the pandemic but I do have to say great pasta“

“If you are craving comforting, hearty Italian-American cuisine in Edmonton, Olive Garden consistently delivers an outstanding dining experience that goes far beyond just a standard meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfectly suited for everything from a casual weeknight dinner to a large family gathering. You are always greeted with genuine hospitality, and the service remains incredibly attentive without being overbearing throughout the entire visit.
The undisputed highlight of any trip is their legendary unlimited soup, crisp house salad, and freshly baked breadsticks. The salad is always fresh, tossed in their signature tangy dressing with plenty of olives and peppers, and the breadsticks arrive at the table piping hot, soft, and perfectly coated in garlic and butter. Whether you pair it with the savory, sausage-filled Zuppa Toscana or the comforting Chicken Gnocchi soup, it provides a flawless start to the dining experience.
For the main courses, the portion sizes are incredibly generous, ensuring excellent value for the price. Classic dishes like the Chicken Parmigiana with its perfectly breaded crust, or the rich, creamy Fettuccine Alfredo, are always prepared with consistency and arrive hot and full of flavor. The Tour of Italy remains an excellent, hearty choice if you want to sample their most popular staples on a single plate.
Beyond the quality of the food, the staff truly elevate the visit. They frequently check in to ensure drinks are refilled, breadbaskets remain stocked, and fresh parmesan is grated directly at the table. If you want a reliable, delicious, and highly satisfying restaurant experience with exceptional customer service, Olive Garden is a fantastic choice that never disappoints.“

“Very nice romantic atmosphere, fine dining, great food. Except the Aragosta Risotto. The risotto is delicious, but be aware, the "whole lobster tail" is not lobster at all. It's a very small, 2 inches long tail of a langostino, size of a prawn. For the price of the dish there should be at least 3 of them, or just serve a real whole lobster tail.“

“I have ordered your meat balls and salad , and just yesterday ordered again and for my wife i ordered clams . She loved them . Even on delivery your food is quality !! We need to come to your restaurant and eat in . I bet having your food fresh from the kitchen would be amazing . Sincerely Cifford Legacy.“

“super friendly staff! cozy atmosphere! great pizza!!“

“From beginning to end, this was an exceptional dining experience. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the level of hospitality made the evening truly memorable.

Our server, Mark, was phenomenal. His knowledge and passion for the menu were remarkable. He described each dish with such incredible detail that you could practically taste it straight off the menu before it even arrived at the table. His enthusiasm was infectious, his recommendations were thoughtful, and his attentive service made us feel genuinely looked after throughout the evening.

Then the kitchen took our experience to another level. To our surprise, they sent out dishes we hadn't even ordered as complimentary tastings from the chef. It was such an unexpected and generous gesture and gave us the opportunity to experience even more of what the kitchen had to offer.

Between the incredible food, Mark's exceptional service, and the thoughtfulness and generosity of the kitchen team, we felt completely spoiled.

This wasn't simply dinner, it was an experience. The kind of evening you talk about long after you leave. Absolutely spectacular from beginning to end, and deserving of every one of those five stars. We cannot wait to return!“

“We organized a set full meal with Matteo. The meal was fantastic, i really cannot complain about any of it. We had appetizers, pasta, salad and a main - of Chicken parmigiana and the sides. We were more than happy with ALL the food. The service was fantastic. It was a great time, with great food. Thank you“

“My partner and I attended a pasta making class for our anniversary and it was PERFECT! Erika is warm, inviting, and patient. It's so fun to learn this skill (and gain a new appreciation for it) while also being spoiled with appetizers, salad, chicken, and wine... and then to eat the pasta that you made yourself with delicious sauces. We couldn't have asked for a better evening, and without a doubt, we will be back!“

“We had a wonderful lunch date with our friends to celebrate a birthday. It’s the first time my husband & I came to Olive garden, and we find they have a good variety on their menu and the price is very reasonable.
We ordered the forever soup and salad lunch set, the parmigiana eggplant and pasta set, and the Alfredo pasta set which all came with a salad. All were tasty!
The ambience was very relaxed, the staff were friendly. A big shout out to our server Carter! His service was amazing and he made us feel very welcomed! 10 out of 10 for Carter!“

“It’s the best every time! The food, phenomenal; the service, special. The staff seems very cognitive of the atmosphere of each table, I feel like the pacing of care we got was perfect for what we needed! The pasta happened to be on a deal but even if it weren’t, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality. I find the food delicious, I tried a bit of everyone’s at the table and they all tasted great. Even the warm buns they bring to the table are so lovely. The staff we had were all gorgeous and kind, the waitress even brought us take out containers without us having to ask. The cocktails we had were tasty as well! All in all, for four adults it cost under 100 dollars. My fav place for ever <3“
