Abruzzo Ristorante has been in Calgary for a long, long time and it's still going strong. It's still in that same location, a little tiny house with white stuccoed walls and arched doorways. There is a patio on the side of the restaurant and it's shady during the afternoon.
The food is still phenomenal after all this time. I went with a group of people and we had the following:
Appys - Scampi, Shrimp and Cold cuts with mozarella and olives (Very, very good!)
Starter - Clam Chowder Soup (interesting take on the soup - they add minced carrots and there were lots of clam meat - soup's not too fishy and it was warm for a cold rainy day.)
Entree - Veal Saltibucco - veal topped with sage and prosciutto ham - a little salty but tastes really good, comes with penne in tomato sauce with parmesan cheese
Dessert - Pear - it's not a pear, really, but halzenut chocolate icecream shaped as a pear and dipped in chocolate, served with whipped cream - Yummers!!
Would I come back? Defiinitely!!
