We needed a place to have lunch, traveling on business in Calgary and was our first time on 17th Ave.
We saw the outside of the eatery, it was just opening up for the day at 11am and we saw the pasta Specials sign $8.99 a entree. I hate being the first one into a place but in we went and could sit wherever we wanted. We were greeted - service was OK throughout. Wine choice offered was good. Bathrooms spotless - had to throw that in there as this is important to me.
The food. I had spinach fettucine alfredo with crab (they promised it was not canned) , hubby had the gnocchi with meat sauce. Gnocchi = not good, not pillowy nor fresh tasting. The meat sauce was too sweet and I am not sure how he ate all of it. Guaranteed the food is all frozen from here. I thought my pasta was better than the gnocchi, 7 out of 10. We left satisfied but would love to try a higher end place next time.
