Do you have to reserve a place or is it fine to just walk in?

If you have a large party (6 or more) you can book a reservation. If its less than that its walk in only.

Are you open on Good Friday afternoon

Pretty sure they are only closed on Easter Sunday.

Is it possible to do vegan options for my GF?

as a former employee they’d probably spit in your food if you ordered anything vegan

Do you still have Tuesday specials, 2 for one pasta?

Wednesday's are 2 for 1 pasta nights:)

The worst take out I have ever had. I called and ordered two pasta dishes and mozza sticks, the person said it would be ready in 15 minutes. "authentic" Italian food should take a little longer to prepare than that. Anyways, got our food, open the package and the mozza sticks burnt right through the Styrofoam container with the lid on the sauce being completely shrivelled up. The pasta tasted like I was emptying a salt shaker in my mouth which would have been much cheaper than the terrible food we were served. It obviously sat under a heat lamp. I would never recommend this place.

The service was fast and very good however the pastas were not as good as anticipated, tasted bland. Bread was nice and fresh. I had a baby with me so I used the changing table in the washroom and it was malfunctioning and dirty.

The chicken cordon blue is absolutely delicious. They have two for one pizza (with purchase of a beverage) on Mondays, and the same for pasta on Wednesdays (both those nights can get quite busy and a little noisy so be prepared). Staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable ($25 for the chicken cordon blue, $18 for a medium pizza, etc.).

From the moment we walked in, we received a cordial warm greeting. Our server walked us through the menu, got our drinks in short order and gave us a little history of the restaurant. The food was AWESOME. My only regret is that we didn't have dessert. I'll be sure to rectify that with my next visit.

So authentic, this is a real family place, also there's a lounge. Food was fantastic, as was the service. For an old school place, they had an extensive cocktail list.

Monday and Wednesday daily deals are some of the best in the city. The pizza is very tasty and they offer a very wide selection of pastas, all of which taste fresh and flavorful.

The food here is okay but you better have NO other plans because the food takes forever!!!! We ordered almost an hour ago. Only 2 simple pasta dishes , no changes or special requests. We are stillll waiting!!! I’d expect this with a 4 or 5 star restaurant. Not with a family grill!!!

What to say, well first of all the atmosphere here is great. It reminds me of a little family run Italian restaurant I used to go to growing up in Ontario. The service here is excellent and pleasant as well.Onto the food. Large portions of food which taste homemade and delicious. Comes out piping hot which is what you want.It was a nice touch to get a complimentary roll of bread and garlic butter to go with our meals.Drink prices are also excellent here. $6.25 for a Caesar is about what I expect. The food prices are about on par with other similar restaurants. I feel you get excellent value for your money.We will definitely be back!Some other notes, they also have a patio out back and an extensive wine and drink list. They also have daily specials.

We ordered my Dad’s birthday dinner there which was right after my mom passed away - so it was meant to be an extra special day. Amici’s ruined our dinner. We ordered pizza (loose term) from there and to say we were disappointed would be a gross understatement- the food was barely edible. It was dehydrated, looked like it had sat on a counter for days and was terrible. I wish that I could post the photos I took. I called the restaurant to let them know and the girl on the phone didn’t really seem to care a whole lot - she really wasn’t interested to hear about our experience.

Service was terribly slow and inattentive. Two of us had ordered the lasagna which took over hr to receive, and turned out to be burned in the end. The excuse was they make each portion individually fresh to order. Totally disappointing, was embarrassed for my guests to be waiting ridiculously long. No apologies or offer of substitution.

We ordered a large double pepperoni extra sauce pizza. What we got was a 12 inch pizza. Each slice had maybe 1 piece of pepperoni and we struggled to tell of there was any sauce. To top it all off the pizza arrived cold because after saying our address 3 times on the phone it was still wrong. Overall terrible experience and we will not be ordering from here ever again.

Local restaurant that I have gone to off and on for over 15 years. It’s not the best Italian I have ever had but it is good especially considering the suburban area it is in whee the restaurant choice are not great.Every time I have visited the service has been great! The interior decor is nice and inviting and the patio is well placed with a splendid view of a large pond with ducks and geese.The food is your typical Italian menu but we usually stick to the small dishes and appetizers for variety. The stuffed cannelloni smothered in bechamel sauce is very good, as is the the mussels in tomato broth with crusty Italian bread. The tomato with bocaccini is wonderful paired with escargot rissoto.As mentioned, we do prefer the appetizers listed above, which we often pair with one or two of their proseco based drinks like the Royal.Once again good place for a nice Italian meal a step above casual but not too fancy. Would recommend to family and friends hungry for quality and good service.

Good food and great prices. Nice atmosphere! Great wine. They also serve craft beer which is harder to come by (as we have found so far) here in Country Hills! Serving sizes are fairly large - could take home half for lunch the next day (if you can stop yourself from eating!). Nightly specials! We will be back!

The pasta was very good and came out hot - it even stayed hot for a long time. The calamari was very good as well. The bruschetta was not that great - too salty. And the side vegetables for the entrees were bland. All in all, the meal was very good and our group enjoyed the atmosphere.

Great Italian family-friendly restaurant. We mostly go here for their 2-for-1 pizzas on Monday nights. The pizzas here are delicious; closer to a pan-fried pub style pizza than neapolitan. The place fills up quickly on special nights. The service is always prompt and friendly. There's a small lounge on one side with a couple TVs. The main restaurant has a mixture of tables and booths.

Love this place! This is our go-to of you want a hearty and delicious Italian meal and feel like you're having a family dinner at your Nonna's. The staff is always friendly, food is hot and fresh, and the kids always love their ice cream at the end. There are smaller booths that seat 4, and various larger tables for a group.

Best little know secret in North CalgaryIf you're looking for amazing Italian food in Calgary, look no further!The food here is amazing, the flavors are beautifully balanced and leave you very satisfied. The service is great, very consistent and the environment is warm and inviting. One of the things I really like is that the owner, Antonio, personally is on site for Friday & Saturday dinner service & visits every table to make sure your meal is perfect.

Came here around 4pm on a Tuesday and it was perfect timing. Lady who served us was able to explain all our questions and help us order. She was very knowledgeable and really friendly and talkative. Calamari was amazing, exactly how we like it as well as our pasta dishes. Great place for a date or to take your friends for a meal to enjoy and remember. Definitely recommend!
