| - Oh yeah, it's always awesome when a joint lives up to its hype. Borgo delivered and it delivered hard. My only mistake was fasting from alcohol, otherwise my dinner would have been paired with a big bottle of red, and it would have been game over.
Visited with a few friends, and a couple of us went with the special fixed price meal. Outstanding apps, pasta and main. The venue also has a nice aura - I like how it's not exactly on 17th, but tucked in on 16th. Other than the snow storm outside, I forgot that I was in Calgary.
The service was also excellent, as the waiter was knowledgeable, without seeming pretentious. The staff were smiling and in a good mood, which in my opinion is important for a joint like this.
Ultimately, this is a place I would go again and recommend to anyone else visiting the city. As good as it gets... for Calgary.
