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!!“

“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“

“I love the overall vintage vibe of the cafe and I think it is a good meeting place for folks here in St. Albert. The sandwiches were good but I can’t say the same for the coffee. My husband ordered hot chocolate and he said it tasted like it was a powdered chocolate you can buy from the grocery. B it the place was in a good spot and everyone who loves vintage will have to stop by this place. There are parking spaces by the cafe. It is also spacious so good for groups.“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Best homemade gnocchi I have ever had.“

“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!“

So anyways since moving in to this neighbourhood a little while back i just order a pizza every time she ruins my food and its great. The staff are always so friendly and polite.

“Excellent experience from start to finish! The decor is beautiful, the food is a great price for quality/quantity, and our server Stefan was top-notch, always making sure we had exactly what we needed. Highly recommend this location!

(Just steer clear of the West Edmonton Mall location, as it's filthy and gave me food poisoning. 🤢)“

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

“We have been enjoying Tasty Tomato since they opened in the 1990s. Hands down the best pasta in Edmonton & better than Italy! Their boscaioli is my partner's favorite, their bruschetta (a non-menu item) is a must, the home made tiramisu is divine & everything is worth at least 1 try -- delicious 😋. Joe is a stellar host & the servers are attentive, but not intrusive. Still trying to get their secret recipes! 😉“

“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“

“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 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!“

“Read the reviews and saw this place had good reviews so this is mine to add. I was not disappointed. Right from the beginning it was a great atmosphere. Rafat was our server and he is a 5 star plus and beyond. You just don't find service like that these days. Dinner was a bit on the pricey side but was worth it. I felt like having some dessert but didn't know what to order and Rafat said he would make the decision for me and to my surprise he brought out the house made TIRAMISU wow that was good. If you want a beautiful place to and great food this is the place. I will be going back again when I come to the city.“

“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.“

“Coral was an absolute amazing friendly hospitable waitress! She went above & beyond her role and duties. Suggestions were well suited for my husband's allergies to food..outgoing personality..always came back to check on us which we love!! Food was delicious!! Tysm for a great experience & taste of Edmonton!

Vegetarian options: Meatballs.. delicious! Tasted like real meat

Dietary restrictions: C above“

“great restaurant! food and service is fantastic.“

“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“

“I came for a sit-down dinner and overall the experience was good. The restaurant had a warm, clean atmosphere and it wasn’t too loud, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal.

I ordered the classic breadsticks and a pasta dish, and the food came out hot and fresh. The portions were generous and the garlic bread was one of the best parts of the meal.

The service was mostly good, though the interaction at the end of the meal felt a bit rushed and slightly uncomfortable. I prefer when tipping is left more low-pressure for customers.

Overall, it was a decent experience and I’d come back for the food, but I think the service could feel a little more relaxed for guests.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“One of Edmonton’s best Italian restaurants.“

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

“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!!!“

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

“Our waitress Samantha provided excellent service. She was warm, attentive, informative, fun and courteous. I will come back to this restaurant and ask to be seated in the section she wants. I was there about 3 weeks ago. The food was great and her suggestions were very helpful.“

“Love how cozy it is. Everything we ate was so good. Order the raviolo it's one of the most decadent and delicious things I've ever eaten. Please change your stools though. I have never sat on a more uncomfortable bar stool in my life. Traditional bar stools curve down at the edge, not up, for a reason.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place for a coffee or latte! Frequently stop here between buses as it's a very convenient location. I keep trying different hot drinks and I finally found my favourite! The carmello latte, it's amazing highly recommend it if your a latte kinda person.
Cute cafe, great staff, and food & drink“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This is not just a pizza place which is delicious. The crust was excellent & the toppings were great, but I have to recommend the Spaghetti. Me & my wife ate Spaghetti Alla Mare Monti & was excellent, makes us want to try the whole menu.“
