It's a great time to visit if you prefer a quieter restaurant, as they can only accommodate 60 people and I imagine it gets busy at dinner time! My husband and I shared appetizers and main courses. We tried the beef cheek, white bean, and spinach soup special, as well as the steak tartare. Both dishes were delicious, although they could add more crackers with the generous portion of steak tartare. For entrees, I ordered the Arctic Char (also a special) and my husband had the gnocchi. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and cleaned our plates. Every bite was perfectly prepared - the fish had a crispy skin and the gnocchi were soft and fluffy. We were too full for dessert, so we'll have to come back for that! I highly recommend this restaurant.

We started with the arancini and octopus then had the mussels and cannelloni as mains. All of the food was excellent. I am really looking forward to my next visit!!!

The location is convenient and they also have a lovely patio. From the granola with yogurt and honey, to the French toast, to the eggs Benedict, everything was tasty. I appreciated that they use Fratello coffee. I will definitely be returning soon.

The service sucked- felt like the server wasn’t interested in making recommendations, took over 20 mins after being seated before our orders were taken, another 30 mins after our entrees were served before we were “checked at”. Meal was 85% done at that point. The food was decent, there are better Italian places in Calgary at that price point tho. Wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t come back. Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4
