What a disappointment! Some other friends of mine raved about this place... perhaps we ordered the wrong items. My friend and I both ordered risotto dishes. My friend order the mushroom risotto with beef. The taste was good but the dish was waaaaayyy too watery... which is not very appetizing for risotto and certainly not what we were expecting. I ordered a risotto dish that was part of their lighter summer menu and not on their regular menu. I can't remember what the dish was called.. but all I remember is that it contained corn, and LOTS of it. While I don't mind corn, I wasn't expecting so much of it in my risotto.. to the point that all I could taste was corn... and I really didn't get the texture and flavour of the risotto. I might as well have ordered a mexican or southern dish. This is certainly not what I was expecting for a italian dish.
So both entrees were misses... so we decided to try our hand at dessert. We ended up choosing their crepe... which sounded delicious on the menu.. however, when it came out, it was a disappointment as well. The crepe was very doughy... certainly not what I was expecting...
To sum it up, I wouldn't go back... the place is not cheap.. the entrees are pretty expensive... but don't live up to the standard... I'm sure you can find better quality Italian food in Calgary.
