50 Best Italian Restaurants near St. Albert

“Outstanding Italian restaurant. It was recommended by our daughter and her husband. Can't believe we hadn't heard about it before. Huge portions served piping out and very reasonably priced. Service and atmosphere superb. We will definitely be going again and soon. 64 years old and first time we've ever put in a review. It's that good!!“

“Just went to Sorrentino's for my husband's birthday. We were greeted warmly and led to a nice table for two. Brooklyn was our server and she looked after us very well! The beef carpaccio we shared was delicious! We each then tried one of their yummy pasta dishes! To end the night they treated my husband to a tasty birthday dessert! Thank you very much! We'll be back!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Eastside Mario our waitress name Skalyer was very pleasant and kind throughout our visit. She was attentive to our needs and truly made our family evening even more enjoyable. Her positive attitude and great service had a meaningful impact on our experience. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave us. And the food was excellent“

“Real food made with love. We just enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends. The appetizers, bruschetta, and calamari, were excellenet. A simple but delicious broccoli salad was a wonderful surprise. A very generous portion of a traditional and tasty Pollo parmigiana was my main and it was delicious. The creme brulee and tiramisu for dessert were prepared perfectly. Such a great meal, we will be back soon. Thank you Tony, Danielle, and your team for such a great dining experience.“

“What a fantastic dining experience! Not only was the food amazing, my wife and I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of this beautifully decorated restaurant. Both the owner and server were very attentive, and came around to ensure we were enjoying the food. I definitely recommend this gem in St.Albert“

“Excellent! The drinks were the perfect flavour and sweetness, the Chicken Bacon Ranch baked sub was delicious and even after bringing it home wasn’t soggy. I enjoyed everything about the meal and the service was good as well. I’ll definitely be back, I’ll be dreaming about the Salted Caramel Mocha until then.“

“Buco absolutely deserves 5 stars! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every bite was delicious! Twice in a row I was lucky enough to have Rose as my server. I cannot praise her enough! She was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. Service was fast, and she made sure everything was perfect. The ambiance was clean and comfortable making it a great spot for both quick bites and relaxed meals. Prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food and experience. I appreciate that they have gluten & dairy free options for appetizers, main courses and desserts. I’m hope they start offering vegan cheeses for their pizzas (and bring back their smoked salmon pizza that was to die for) I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others.“

“I want to thank Boston Pizza for what they did for my friend. My friend went out to eat with her mother in law and they both live in Drayton Valley when the staff found out where they were from the meal was on the house. They went above and beyond my friend and her mother in law have been through so much so thank you Boston Pizza.“

““This Pizza Hut never disappoints – the crust is always fresh and perfectly baked. 🍕
Toppings are generous, flavors are spot on, and service is quick and friendly.
Definitely my go-to place for delicious, reliable pizza every time!“

“Great and delicious food. Fantastic service and friendly staff. My first time at the restaurant but looking forward to returning.“

“Mille Grazie! Your food is always magnificent! Not only did you fit us in without a reservation on a busy weekend night, after I called the wrong restaurant; but you gave us a wonderful table with amazing staff! Very special mention to the Ceaser I enjoyed before dinner! Highly recommend it! May you have a wonderful 2024! You always make your guests feel like part of the family!“

“I have been here twice and each time was very rewarding; the food is incredible, the staff are wonderful, the prices are very comparable and the ambiance was just lovely. Both were business lunches and I look forward to planning to come here many more times.“

“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!“

“Have eaten here quite a few times - takeout, delivery, and sit down - and they never disappoint.

The inside is admittedly plain but clean and has everything you need. The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. The value is great.

But most importantly, the pizza is so good. Dough always tastes fresh, toppings are generous, and sauce is flavourful. Absolutely nailed, every time.“

“Food and dining experience is exceptional, Ambiance is very unique, with lush garden, lovely paintings“

“My staff and I had such a wonderful lunch here! From the very beginning, Dana made the booking process an absolute breeze and took great care of us. The experience was seamless—we enjoyed a private room, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable. We were comfortably in and out within an hour, which was perfect for our schedule. If you are looking for the perfect spot for a staff lunch during the Teachers’ Convention, I can’t recommend this place highly enough!“

“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“

“Takeout # 23, 32, 33, 34 January 9th 2026

I had a fantastic experience ordering from here recently. My server, Alicia, went above and beyond to ensure all my requirements and order details were met perfectly. She was incredibly patient while taking my order over the phone, which I truly appreciated. As for the food—it was delicious as usual! Highly recommend asking for Alicia if you want top-tier service.“

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

“Was shocked to find out this restaurant has been around for 30+ years. Cozy family owned and operated restaurant. Great Italian food! You can tell the food is fresh and made with high quality Ingredients. Their home made tomato sauce is amazing. Bought a jar for the house. Highly recommend if you are looking for fresh authentic Italian food in a warm cozy environment.“

“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“

“The restaurants atmosphere is warm and relaxed for an enjoyable meal. We had the lobster pasta and fish & shrimp dish last night and would recommend it. The lobster flavor and sauce on the pasta was delicious and the fish was tender with the nicely cooked garlic shrimp. The shrimp were to die for! A great night out.“

“Me and my partner came here for dinner. It was good we made a reservation, as it is a small place and it was full. The staff were friendly and apologized for the wait. I would recommend staying away from the main dishes and sticking with the appetizers and pasta dishes.“

“We recently hired Fantasia Caffe & Catering for our wedding. The food was absolutely unbelievable and was enjoyed by even our pickiest eaters aged 8 to 80. We received nothing but positive feedback and will definitely order from them in future. Highly recommend!“

“Don´t get me wrong, but be prepared to eat and be so satisfied with food that you just want to thank every one there so many times. That is the Sorrentino´s Little Italy.
An intimist place with that feeling that you are been embraced by the whole place, lights in the right place, the waiter that just put you in the right place right away and a menu that gives you the chance to eat something delicious each time you ask your food.

That is so amazing that we found this place only a year after coming to Edmonton, we were in the perfect place, with the right food and happy to be there. There are other Sorrentinos around but this one is special and made us feel so nice.

Thank you to the staff, very polite welcoming and making us feel like home!

Food? Yes, try the Gamberi Sorrentino, the Gnocchi Gorgonzola and the Canelloni, ask for any wine and just enjoy the place and the food!

Certainly our Favorite Italian Place from now on!“

“We had our wedding here on Monday April 17th , I would 14/10 recommend this as a venue for any bride! We had both ceremony & reception here and it was absolutely stunning the staff are incredible & SO MUCH FUN! Josh was the bees knees he helped with absolutely everything weeks prior to the wedding & during he made our day flawless!!! The meal was incredible drinks made top notch & FAST! We cannot that the staff here enough for a perfect wedding day!“

“Every time I visit olive garden the service is always terrible. I've had lots of different servers and they are always rude. I keep going back for the food though, because the food is always consistently good. However my husband and I had dinner at olive garden again tonight and our server Lily was so amazing. She was so polite and gave very quick service. She was cheerful and welcoming. She was honestly gave the best service ive ever had there. This girl deserves a raise.“

“great restaurant! food and service is fantastic.“

“Awesome atmosphere for a cozy meal. It’s not gonna be luxury food but if you’re feeling something more cozy, Italian American vibes this is the place without breaking the bank staff super friendly, portion sizes are quite large nothing to complain about.“

“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“

“Lasagna with extra cheese“

“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“

“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.“

“One of Edmonton’s best Italian restaurants.“

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

“Chianti on Whyte Ave was an excellent dining experience. We ordered the lasagna and soup, and they started us off with fresh bread and butter while we looked through the menu. It was a simple touch but really set the tone for the meal.

The lasagna was outstanding and tasted very authentic. I have had lasagna in Italy before and this honestly reminded me of that. The quality of the food was impressive and everything felt fresh and well prepared.

We sat on the patio near the end of summer and the atmosphere was perfect. There was a cool breeze, lots of natural light, and the patio itself is beautiful. The inside of the restaurant is just as nice with plenty of plants and a warm, inviting feel. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices felt fair for the quality. Overall, a great spot for Italian food on Whyte Ave.“

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

“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!!!“

“Wow!! Absolutely perfect night out at Bar Bricco!! We came up from Calgary and took my in-laws (from Edmonton)… we all died and went to heaven. Shared the tuna crudo, ricotta, kale salad, charred broccoli, two pastas, and the pork feature. I honestly can’t say which was the best as they were all divine. And our server — Rachel — 💯! She knew everything inside and out and guided us perfectly with cocktails, wine, and food. I will dream about this meal until we return!“

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

“We attended a pasta masterclass at this café, and it was such a fantastic experience! The café itself truly deserves special praise!

Huge shoutout to Grace, our server — she was absolutely brilliant! So attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. She made us feel truly valued and added so much to the overall experience. Exceptional service and a beautiful café — we can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

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

“The food is to absolutely die for, their wine selection is by far one of the best ive tried. I recommend anyone with a heightened palette to try every one of their appetizers. You will not be disappointed. Id give 10 stars if I could. Server is very very knowledgeable and super friendly. Felt like a friend!“

“From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The service was beyond exceptional — attentive, warm, and truly made us feel special. Every detail was taken care of with such elegance and care. And the food? Absolutely out of this world. Every bite was a masterpiece — rich in flavour, beautifully presented, and unforgettable. This place is a hidden gem and an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly special.“

“Went there this evening before seeing a play at the Varscona Theatre. Such a lovely restaurant! Great customer service; lovely atmosphere. Amazing food! Highly recommend for a date night out. Their burgers are the best I’ve ever had.“

“Came across this when visiting Canada Place. It's towards the back of the food court, so a little hidden. Was greeted by the owner as I walked by. He politely introduced all the pizzas that were on display. If a full individual size ($8.95) is too much for you, they do offer a half portion ($5.00), which I chose. It was hot , fresh , and delicious. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. Great price for downtown office building. Highly recommend.“

“I've only been eating here for over 30 years.Yeah.They've been servin lunch for the dntn crowd for decades!Always perfect pizza.Simple lasagna.No fuss delicious fast served food.Quit complaining just order and eat!Delicious Every Single Day Every Single Time.With a smile too.“

“Pizza Place Northtown. Wonderful Experience!

Ususally my Domino's is my Pizza to go. But the first time I came across this restaurant was about a week ago. It was so good that my kids prefers this pizza to Domino's now. This is my second time trying their Pizza. And again, never disappoint, was really amazing. I had their mouthwatering Hot Hawaiian, Cheese Blast, and Pepperoni. We got their walk in special of 2 large pizzas with 3 toppings and 1 medium pizza with free same toppings, for $28.99 which is honestly a fantastic deal, which was more than enough for 4 of us. Pizza is full of flavor. My stomach is grateful for it. Each penny spent at this restaurant was worth it. The lady who took our order was very nice and explained all of our options to choose from, excellent customer service. If you are in town, a must to try.“

“I would like to let the owner know of this place that the service was great, however, we were a bit disappointed when we saw 2 strands of hair on our pizza while we were eating it. I didn't want to call as it might be a waste of my time and it won't be resolved anyways. Other than that, delivery was on time and the pizza tastes good.“
