One of my favorite restaurants in Calgary, Una just works.
I recently had out of town guests in from Australia and took them to Una before a fun evening out. We started out as 3 (our 4th person was late) and thus immediately ordered the pork and veal meatballs (1 each). They are generously sized and served in an amazing tomato sauce and with bread for dipping up all that extra sauce. When our 4th person finally showed up, we decided we needed more meatballs and our server asked if we'd like the order to include an extra meatball. I love when servers just 'get it' and ours was exceptional the entire night.
We also had an order of the broccolini, and several bites of the daily pintxo (pronounced pincho). All excellent.
For our pizza, our server recommended the Pesto pizza (normally vegetarian) and suggested we add proscuitto to it. This is going to be my new go-to pizza there. All the flavors just worked so well together.
I wish we would have had room to try out more of their fantastic menu, but by this point we were full from both fantastic food and wine.
Whether for a dinner with friends, a date, or a lunch with co-workers, this is a great spot that's consistently excellent in food, wine, and service - a rarity in the Calgary dining scene.
