Now this is how you make a sandwich! There's such a thrill in finding incredible local eats. I'm…read morenot usually a big sandwich person, but a good foodie friend of mine said they heard the hype about Scozzafava's so I went along. No regrets. If you didn't know about this spot, you might easily pass by without a second glance. Scozzafava's serves up authentic, classic Italian sandwiches that just slap. They use a soft sesame seed bun, which probably is the most unique part of the sandwich. For their marinara sandwiches, I wish they used a thicker bun to better absorb all the sauce. The sesame bun didn't keep its integrity, sadly. The meatball marinara was glorious! Slightly spicy, super moist meatballs, slightly sweet marinara, and perfectly paired with bitterness of the rapini. Don't forget the cheese pull! We also grabbed the classic Italian deli, which was scrumptious and very filling. You can't go wrong with either option, in my opinion.

The food experience that is Calgary continues. My brother loves this place so we decided to go here…read moresince it was close by. He says that this might be the best sandwich place in the city. We came to the store to order. and you know the service is top notch. The owner is very friendly and there is a warm ambiance about the place. On to the food, My brother order a chicken parm subs and say his sub was excellent as always. I ended up getting two subs. One was the meatball sub which was exceptional. The meatballs were well seasoned and were larger than my mom made when she was alive. the buns were toasted to perfection crunchy but not burnt. They had just enough sauce and cheese to compliment the sub but not overpower it . i also got a turkey pesto sub which had a lot of meat and cheese. This was very good and if i come back to Calgary i will definitely come back.

Very flavorful with a great marina sauce to balance the meatballs. Spice level was mild. If you are very sensitive to spice, this may not be for you. Beef Dip 10/10! Tender meat and flavorful rosemary au jus. Can't complain. Both sandwiches were a good size to be full. The bread was the best part: it was very soft and plush to soak up all the sauce and flavor in without getting soggy.

What a great find!…read more We enjoyed the beet salad 10/10, beet chips 7/10, the ranch burger 8/10 , the spicy mushroom mozza burger 10/10, and the Mr. chicken panino 10/10! There is an abundant selection of beverages too. Everything was delicious and I would order them again! The service was prompt, kind and the manager made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal.

What a lovely sweet find along 10 Ave! Was in the area for medical travel and found this burger…read morespot across from MEC. The ranch burger and milkshake would of been more than enough for me (as that was a very hefty burger!) but also tried their smash browns (big potato chunks crisped up and super delicious enough to take home the remainder). I really liked the layout and lighting in the restaurant but as an added bonus, there is also a patio out back (I think you still need to go inside to order at the counter though) and free 3 hr parking for those eating there. I didn't realize about the parking until after I was done my appointment (that would of saved me from struggling with paying for parking on an old iphone that doesn't like indigo QR links...). So now I know for next trip to Calgary this is the spot to stop. Also, just an extra nod to the the two working (I believe they both were owners). Super friendly, will chat or leave you to enjoy your meal and really went the extra step with bringing out the good hot sauce and ketchup even before the meal was ready.

I normally like my hot dogs plain, but the house poutine was such a great combo I was surprised about - comfort food for the soul with the cheese curds and gravy AND with a refreshing taste with the bell peppers and onions.

I seldom come to this place as its out of my way but have popped in on occasion when my co-workers…read morehave a hankering for Lebanese. I mean, its ok, nothing to write home about. In the past I've had the falafel plate, the chicken shawarma wrap and the falafel wrap and all were just ok. They have pickled turnips here which is great but bc they are the mass produced ones so they are extremely salty. Prices are on par with what other Lebanese quick eats go but they offer sm, med and lg sizes which is great if you are not a big eater, having said that I found the workers there sloppily wrap the sandwiches so you will get one side full of veg and another of meat so the bite ratio is off. On the plus side, they are super quick, and you will have your order done in under 5 minutes even with a line up. There were 2 Lebanese guys working when we went in, one I assume was the owner as he was directing the non-Lebanese staff, everyone else seemed to enjoy being there so that was nice to see. The portions were pretty generous which is great for the big eater and they offer a lot of deli and sides which was interesting: salads, samosas, pilafs, pastries and some sweet offerings. They also had a pre-made cooler of items that I assume are made to cook at home, didn't see any prices on them so I cannot comment on value but if you are a fan of the baked goods in the deli section, they were available to take home to cook. Price points are pretty decent and good sized portions and the dining/service area was clean so that warrants a 3.5 star rating...maybe we went in on an off day but the food was just ok and please clean the bathroom, there was urine on the toilet seat.

In addition to…read moresome sandwich and salad staples, they have rotating weekly features of different hot dishes and soups. On this visit, I tried the mac and cheese and beef/barley soup. The soup was warm and inviting with real beef. But, the real highlight was the mac and cheese: extra creamy made with real cheddar cheese and topped with buttery homemade croutons. For the portions provided, $10 is more than fair for well-prepared comfort food!

They offer two fresh soups every day which are clearly not canned and made from scratch. They also offer a different special every day of the week that can be supplemented with a salad or a small soup. These specials range from clubhouse sandwiches, to spring roll on vermicelli, to mac n' cheese (scratch made). One of my go-to places for lunches and as a soup connoisseur they are able to beat out most places by providing homemade soups instead of the typical generic Campbell's stuff you find in most delis. One thing I would like is for them to switch up and try their hand at making other soups because I have been here so many times the soups are getting slightly old (but still tastier and better value than Sunterra) TLDR: Soups good, specials can be good, sandwiches fresh, salad available.

So my brother suggested some thing strange a place that did Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I thought this was a bit bizarre because im wondering how place that does peanut butter and jelly survives financially. Here's the thing they do the sandwiches in a panini griller which was a new concept We both got the strawberry jam and peanut butter and i got small tomato soup on line. the sandwiches were very comforting and really good. As for the tomato soup it actually tasted like red pepper soup which was even better given the change in weather Calgary receieved. Acouple of things to note make sure you have napkins for peanut butter and jam as the jam does tend to spurt out of the sandwich but not a big thing also a small soup is more than enough cure any hunger that you might have. All in all a nice way to end day one of the Calgary trip

The beef was super tender and flavorful, and whatever they slow cook it in really works. The only tricky part was actually finding the entrance. It took me a minute walking around the block before realizing where it was. Once I got inside though, everything was smooth. It is a little on the pricier side for a fast casual sandwich, but after tasting it I understood why the reviews are so strong. Definitely worth trying, and I would absolutely order it again
