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!!“

“I had heard from family that Sorrentinos is a great restaurant, and it did not disappoint. Our server Deesara was super friendly and helpful with fantastic recommendations for our first time dining here. The food is aesthetically presented and just as delicious! It was really nice touch to have a free birthday dessert for dining here for my partner's birthday. I will be recommending Sorrentino's to friends for a nicer restaurant with delicious Italian food!“

“Great food and great service. A really good experience,“

“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!“

“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“

“It was nice to visit The Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown again. We had Calmari Fritti for appetizer. For main courses we had Spaghetti with Brown Butter & Mizithra Cheese and Lasagna. The lasagna was great, and the spaghetti with cheese was a little dry but still tasted good. The entrees included Sourdough bread with garlic butter, Minestrone Soup or green salad, ice cream and tea or coffee. That’s good deal. The service was also fast and friendly.

The only problem is parking as many area in downtown including the street in front of the restaurant are under construction. Patrons may have to park a little further away.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“Executive chef Albertino Alboreggia supervised a multi-course tasting menu I requested for our party of six at Sorrentino's Downtown in Edmonton with service more befitting of royalty than of retired prairie professionals! The culinary standouts were the bison cheeks, the tuna ceviche and risotto. All in all it was a beautiful pre-theatre dining experience/“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible service from
Chelsea tonight. My young kids were overtired and in a MOOD! to say the least and she never skipped a beat. She was also swamped and still managed to keep the little monsters happy. Great wait skills! Very friendly and always kept an eye on our needs.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Overall satisfied with the food, value and service. The servings were pretty big but able to be finished. Prices were very reasonable. Service was ok, short wait time for food and lovely atmosphere with soft music to set the vibe. We ordered Petti Di Pollo Alla Milanese, spaghetti bolognese, Sogliola Con Frutti Di Mare, Ciopino Al Chianti and creme caramel. Detailed review of these below.

Petti Di Pollo Alla Milanese (Breaded chicken): The chicken is thinly flattened into a massive disc, way bigger than i was expecting. It's really good with lemon, it tastes like calamari to me due to the breading. It's basically just a squashed chicken schnitzel. It wasn't oily and not too salty, so i was pretty happy with how it tasted.

Spaghetti bolognese: Not good. It had a strong tomato flavour and was sour and peppery. The texture of the pasta and sauce was not appetising. Being an Italian restaurant you'd expect it to be decent, especially for being such a simple and popular dish, but it was far from it.

Ciopino Al Chianti (seafood with tomato, pesto & white wine sauce over linguini): It was generally tasty, the prawns were nice, but the scallops could be bigger and the calamari was tough and leathery.

Sogliola Con Frutti Di Mare (Sole fillet & seafood with pesto cream sauce): It was tasty enough. Nothing bad about this dish.

Vegetables that came with the breaded chicken and sole fillet: Steamed skin-on potatoes and carrot, and crispy breaded zucchini. They were good, obviously the potatoes and carrot have no seasoning so taste as you would expect. The zucchini tastes like plain zucchini but crispy. Not bad though!!

Creme caramel: I've had better. It wasn't a true creme caramel. It was more like a pudding than a creme caramel so disappointed.

Bonus: You get complimentary warm buns with butter to start which is nice. When the food is served, the waitresses shave parmesan over your food until you tell them to stop 😄 However, when the waitress came over to refill water, they didn't do the whole table even when there were empty glasses 🫤“

“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!!!“

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

“Great up-scale spot in the heart of downtown Edmonton! Perfect spot to try out new wines paired with some of the items from the menu.

Only complaint is that each time I go the service is always slow and the staff sometimes isn't the friendliest.“

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

“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 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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Excellent drinks, food, and service!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pizza Hut offers a delicious variety of pizzas with a great selection of sides, perfect for casual take out“

“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.“

“I dont go in so nothing for atmosphere. Id give them 5 stars tbh but feels a bit silly to give 5 stars on a pizza chain, but for what they are the pizza is really good and consistent. I order way too much pizza and live dt and im spoiled for options. Pizza 73 has always been pretty good but a bit bland honestly. Dominos crust just tastes like cardboard to me and the delivery times are terrible. Theres a couple more i order from but i always keep coming back to pizza hut. Safe, consistent, never upset my stomach, lightning fast delivery. Must have ordered from them over 50 times in the last year and a half and i just get what i pay for. My partner and i have both commented now and then we could stand to taste more sauce, (some orders taste a bit like cheese on dough) which is weird to skimp on something cheap...then other times it had a nice tangy sauce taste to it, other than that the consistency is good. I have to laugh at some of these reviews though, people act like theyre ordering food from 4 star restaurants. Your'e not always going to get the best, thats just life, but out of all the pizza places these fellas are the most consistent and ive never been unhappy. The best part is it will say your order will be there in half an hour and most times its there 10 min later. Granted i live a 2 min drive away, but im a 1 min drive from panago and it takes them half an hour...also i have had other food. Got a small ceaser salad and looks smallish till u empty it into a bowl. Was absolutely jammed packed. I was really impressed actually. Often order the boneless bites. Theyre good, nothimg fancy but hits the spot and usually a coupon available online so for 6$ its a good deal. Do i wish they added more toppings in general sure..but i could always ask for them and pay the extra and I mean were always full after and usually have left overs. Have to say both of us agreed when they had some massive ny pepporoni pizza last month we fell in love. It was just amazing. I couldnt get enough, then the speacial ended. Sad now. It had some dusting of herbs or maybe parmesean or something. It was really tasty. Whatever they put on the ny speacial i wish they made available for all of their pizzas. Anyway rambled a lot but what can i say, never dissapointed us yet and if they do im not going to write a revue and complain. Try again, if still bad try elsewhere for a bit then try back later. Thats just my style. Different employees can effect quality so things can always change and change back i guess but im not ordering steak here, its just pizzaand quality fluctuates. Not really with these guys though, they must have a high quality check standard...only lack of consustency is the sauce as i said though but even even when the sazce us lacking its still tasty
Great job to everyone there. I really have felt looked after. Thanks for your hard work.“

“donair was just how I like it, never had one like that in a long time. Haven't really tried anything other than the pizza or donair, but I'm sure everything else is just as good. 4 Stars because they forgot my pop once for delivery, but the driver did run across the store to get me one so. favourite place to order from when I come to Edmonton.“

“Love this place! Awesome food and awesome staff, dreaming of their pizza! Will be returning!!!“
