Tavernetta - Calgary, Alberta

This cozy little house on Edmonton Trail offers the best Italian food in Calgary. Their gnocchi is my favourite! It’s perfect and delicious in every way. Their meatballs and calamari (not deep fried) are also top notch. You can’t go wrong with any menu item. They also have an extensive ... wine list, local beers, and great cocktails! The best thing about Tavernetta though are the people who work there. They are so friendly, caring, and amazing at what they do! Definitely check this place out. You won’t be disappointed! Read more

Love the food, service and ambiance. You feel like you’re going over to a friend’s house for dinner. It’s intimate, warm and inviting. The patio in the back is quaint and romantic with the lights. There’s a cute little bocce court in the back, which is fun. They have a fantastic sparkling rose. Apparently it ... originally started with a lot of influences from Northern Italy, and have moved South this year with their inspiration. The food we had and would recommend include: - Crostini with olive condimento and beet and beet and eggplant nduja. - Meatballs - Bucatini, ravioli and calebresi - pistachio cookie Read more

What an adorable little place! Knowledgeable staff gave great suggestions and helped customize my meal to be vegan friendly! AMAZING back yard patio to enjoy the weather (they have bug spray and sunscreen to keep you comfy!) and hit up a game of bocce.

We had a fantastic evening for a birthday party with over 30 guests. The food and wine was excellent and the gnocchi and meatballs brought out at the very end was a highlight for sure. The owners and staff were fun, friendly and exceptional hosts. A hidden gem, this is a ... great place to have a large party and I look forward to going back for lunch and dinner. Read more

It’s like an explosion of flavour in each dish! We only had enough room in our bellies for three dishes but I would love to go back and try more! The service was great and the space is super unique.
