  • Had dinner here last night with some friends who live in the area. They claim it's a stand-by for getting a last minute reservation on nights like Saturday. The space was comfortable, nice ambiance etc. Odd musical selections playing for a nice Italian place and fairly loud. Appetizers/ salads seemed reasonably priced. Pastas and entrees possibly slightly over-priced but this is Calgary, and in trendy Marda Loop on top of that. Had the the caprese salad which was pretty good with nice presentation - not your classic caprese. Not sure what the olives added to the dish but then again, I'm not a huge oilive fan. Friends had the sambuca prawns appetizer which looked pretty good. Decided to go with their spaghetti and meatballs - which was recommended by our server out of the pasta selections. "Nonna Rosa's traditional Bolognese" and the "house made San Remo meatballs" seemed like it would be a solid pick. Not so much. Bland sauce, overcooked noodles and the meatballs were tasteless and hard. The sauce also had chunks of meat in it also which might be a touch excessive. Definitely disappointing. I can make better meatballs. You can buy better meatballs pre-made. Maybe I caught a bad batch. I should have clued in when my friend ordered the spaghetti without the meatballs... Friends said the gnocchi was good and the summer puttanesca pasta also looked at least visually appealing. My meal cost me $74 including tip and included half a bottle of French Cab Sauv which was decent. Had my entrĂ©e been better I would have been ok with that. They have cheap pasta nights on Sun/ Mon which might be the time to hit this place. The pricier entrees that I saw coming out looked pretty good but at $30/ plate they should be. Better Italian food out there I'd say at this price point. They have the advantage of location in Marda Loop which seems to play to their advantage here.
