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! :)“

“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“

“Well I wasn’t expecting such an amazing experience! A great lunch, such caring staff and a happy pleasant visit. The value is fantastic quite honestly, and although they had lunch specials, we all opted for meals. No pictures this time, the pasta was good. The basil balsamic salad dressing was excellent and the Mithizra cheese pasta (I did the pot-pourri), reminded me of coming here when I was much younger. Thank you all for the great experience!“

“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!!“

“Having wanted to try this restaurant for quite some time so we decided to plan a tip into Edmonton (from out of town). It was above and beyond what we had expected. Our sever was very personable and cared about making our dining experience great! (All the “spicy” sauces separately on the side LOL). Sorry we didn’t catch your name but thank you so much!! The food was incredible! Every appetizer, main course, and dessert did not disappoint! The schnitzel was definitely our favourite. We are already looking forward to our next visit!“

“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.“

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

“Me and my family were in Edmonton, picked Sorrentino’s because it had good reviews and it was a short walk from our hotel. We were blown away. The food is amazing. Our server, Derek, did such a great job. We asked him for menu recommendations and nothing disappointed. Prices were reasonable especially for that calibre of food and service. We will be back!“

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

“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.“

“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 food was very good. Large portions. Service was phenomenal, except we were a table of 10 and weren't told until after everyone had already ordered that they couldn't split the bills. Their POS system is not 'capable' of doing that. I've never heard of that before. Very frustrating when you have 5 couples that just want to pay for their own food that they ordered.“

“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! Tina Sestito-Dragon & Family“

“Abby was an absolute DELIGHT tonight. Working through the Canada day rush we were her last table of the day, we made her laugh and helped brighten her day which was very busy! She was a great sport for our funny antics. We love joking with our servers and trying to have a fun time with them.
The food was very delicious as always, came out cooked perfectly, everything was what we had hoped for.“

“Best quality“

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

“Amazing food, delicious and fresh. Great service, all the best guys.“

“Places like this are becoming less and less common.
It’s an affordable, fast lunch spot with very good portions and good quality.
With most other restaurants heading down the path of premium-pretentiousness. Pasta brioni knows what it is and is a pleasant place that you can go for lunch on your break without running out of time or money.“

“Last night my husband and I visited Sorrentino’s West, and we had such a wonderful experience.

Everything was absolutely amazing - the food was incredibly delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, perfect for a lovely evening together.

A special thank you to our server Bella for being so kind, attentive, and professional. She truly made us feel welcome and taken care of. We also appreciate manager Vasilisa for her hospitality and attention to detail, and bartender Myko for the fantastic drinks - everything was top-notch.

We truly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be coming back. Thank you to the whole team for such a perfect experience!“

“I ordered take out and arrived a few minutes before it said it would be ready. Everyone was attentive, kind and kept assuring me that my food would be out soon. No big deal, but I was starting to get tired from waiting. 25 minutes later my food was brought out by a manager apologizing non stop adding that he threw in an addition dessert! Was not needed but so appreciate and delicious. In the end the wait was long but the kindness of staff made the wait worth it.
Most Importantly my meal was so delicious I had the ravioli carbonara and it was amazing. Breadsticks and salad never disappoint. And the desserts, you bet I tried both! So good!“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“Definitely an pasta destination. Everything you expect from a traditional Italian restaurant in Canada. The service was delightful, which matched the cosy atmosphere. Bring a friend or just your appetite!!! You won't be disappointed“

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

“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.“

“Lasagna with extra cheese“

“It was a lovely evening with friends at Vaticano Cucina. Our waiter was very good. He was attentive and not overzealous. The food was delicious. The wine a good pairing with our meals. It was a little on the noisy side. The lamb, caprese salad and the butternut squash ravioli are all recommended.“

“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“

“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 ordered a pizza with a topping we could not have and they remade us one with no charge and delivered! Excellent customer service and the pizza was amazing!!! Thank you!!!“

“Walkin deal 3 topping pizza it was amazing and got same topping which i got in full pricy pizza“

“We had an absolutely fantastic time here. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, with beautiful lighting that makes everything feel special.

Every dish we tried was plated with such care. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and I especially loved the small, delicate squares of ravioli that we shared. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor.

This was such a memorable evening. We will definitely be back soon to try more from the menu.“

“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“

“Greta offered great service today, thank you. The pizza, wings , and brownies were fantastic.“

“Great spot for small bites and an intimate drink. The exceptional hospitality provided by Tristan during my visits is deeply missed, and I am saddened to learn of his departure. The weekly tradition of Tuesday evenings at Henry was truly a highlight of my week. I highly valued the warmth and attentiveness of his service, and I consistently felt well-cared for.“

“Always great service and friendly staff! Especially love the pet friendly patio 👍“

“It was my first time to buy coffee to this place in the airport. Coffee is delicious, it had a wonderful flavour, good body , and the most important thing, it was not bitter, like coffee in other places such as Starbucks. The attention was great and very pleasant. I recommend this place“

“Great Pizza and we absolutely love the aloo gobi & beef samosa here!!! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Nice restaurant friendly staff. Pasta was cooked Al dente, perfectly. Surprisingly they don't have risottos on the menu. Server garnished Parmesan cheese. I had ordered the penne alla gigi, the sausage was ok in flavor. Pasta tasted decent but nothing special along with the tomato sauce.“

“Excellent food, fantastic staff... this will definitely be a new go-to spot for us!“

Thanks. See you on Thursday haha“
