Sauce Italian Market - Calgary, Alberta

This restaurant is a hidden gem! I dined here long before the pandemic, and the food was truly exceptional. Each dish was crafted with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. The elegant dining room provided the perfect ambiance for a memorable meal. I recently returned and was delighted to find ... that the high standards have been maintained. Read more

From my perspective, if a server greets you with a 'Hey, what are you looking for?' it is not a good start. Later, he didn't offer the drink menu, and when I called him with an 'excuse me,' he came to the table with a 'WHAT.' So, no tip, not ... recommended, and I don't think the food was worth the money and time. Everything you see in the pictures plus two juices was $58. Read more

I usually come here for their lattes as i like the taste of their coffee beans. Yesterday i went to pick up two lattes and they were really airy/light. The milk was filled to the top and almost half was just foam. Was very disappointed. I also got the carrot ... cake as im a sucker for it and was looking forward to it. I found it to be a bit dry and the edges were crispy. It was dense and luckily the icing was decent. I would skip that next time. Read more

We had a great dinner at Sauce on Tuesday! They have renovations going on, so we figured out the door situation and we were greeted by a hostess right away. The restaurant was warm and smelled delicious. It had modern decor with a classy touch that led to a cozy and ... sophisticated ambiance. We ordered beer and wine, whipped ricotta, Short rib ravioli and Conchiglie Al Forno. We followed that up with a nice Tiramisu to share. We really enjoyed this whole experience. The food was delicious, the service was good and the place was attractive. We believe there may have been a mix-up in the wines between a sampling and what we ordered in glass. Not a huge issue. I would certainly like to come back here and try the rest of the menu. Read more

Updated review 2 Feb 2024 This was the first time back since the renovations were done, so we were excited to get back. The servers were fantastic as always. The food was good but wasn't as good as it was before. I was particularly disappointed because the best dessert I ... had ever had before was no longer on the menu, so I settled for a good but not nearly as good dessert. The overall ambience of the restaurant wasn't the same as it was before. With the shift of the entrance to the side of the building, it seemed like they shifted the tables to keep the same number but as a result made it feel more crowded. The lighting was brighter and seemed more Denny's than what it felt before. I'm glad we went back to see it but I wasn't overwhelmed, in a good way, by the changes. **************************************** Ok, so I don't know how to explain how happy I feel when I have finished a meal here. It's just SO good. The food, the atmosphere, the servers.... AMAZING 🤩 I celebrated my birthday there this evening and I am going to slip happily into a food coma. Just go try it and if you're not happy with the food, service and price, please leave a comment on this to explain how that happened because I've never seen it before. Read more
