It is easily the worst italian food I have had in northwest calgary *ever*.
Yes, *ever*.
We came across the relocated La Viena and thought it would be good to go.
My wife and I both agreed to never return. Not because the service was bad, but rather because the food was simply horrible. No italian with any sense of pride would feed food like that to his guests, let alone people who paid for the food.
You would be way better off with the litany of other italian places in the NW NE region (down edmonton trail either way) than going here.
Provolone Cheese arrived in a heavy fish stick like batter (triangle)
The sauce that game with it was like a tartar sauce with some vile tomato mixture added (really poor)
My carbonara had pretty much Raw onions with it. Heavy handed cream sauce and just boring. Oh a sprig of parsley ? Really?
My wife had a seafood platter with very sparse amounts of sea food.
She asked for it "not spicy" and she got seafood caccitorre. With a sauce that was simply vile not matter what you added to it. My wife actually ate the seafood on the plate and left everything else.
I hate being a food snob, but compared to the local competition, this place was a waste.
