When we used to live in Edmonton, this used to be our go to brunch spot on weekends. It's an Italian grocery shop with a cafe on the side. This is a food lovers paradise! They never disappoint. Whether it's pizza or large selection pastries or coffee or any grocery items, it's always fresh and delicious. I am glad they have opened up in Calgary too! read more

After 10 years it is so good to have the same great experience with their pizza and baked goods. Their pizza is still on point, working with great flavour that was ahead of their times but still really good now. I can't resist their bakery area and found a new favourite in their Florentine cookie along with the classics. Always a treat to come to this store! read more

Love, love, love coming to the cafe side of this shop, just enticing my eyes with all the desserts behind those glass counters. My favorite is their pistachio cannoli. A balance of light sweetness and crunchiness in every bite. Then I tried their blueberry cheesecake. I like the tartness of the jam, but I find it overall a little too sweet. Maybe pairing it with black coffee or tea without sugar would balance it. They also have a menu for small bites and a salad refrigerator for healthier choices. I mean, it's an entire store with all Italian goodies, so you might find something you'll like. read more

Love LOVE love the Italian Centre. I remember when this location opened up about 10 years ago and it was such a big deal that us north side R's didn't have to drive southside anymore to grab a pizza, latte, their famous Italian sub sandwiches, their hormemade pasta and sauces and of course their deli and olive bar! The restaurant is open until 8pm here. Perfect for a quick lunch date or to order a pizza while you shop (like I did today while killing time before a hockey game). The downside about this location is the parking lot is small and it can be quite busy on 170th as they are essentially across the street from WEM. Regardless this will continue to be a staple for me and my love of all things Italian Centre! read more

Amazing food, meat and cheese. Highly recommend. Prices are cheaper than other grocery stores and the quality is way way better. Can't beat the $10 Italian sandwiches either! read more

I've been going there since they opened! It's a bit bigger than my most favourite location (51 ave) and it seems it's as Popular as the other store! :) I love the produce area! Usually they have high quality fruits! The bakery is also my favourite. My number one choice is still chocolate croissants! :) read more

Free parking but the lot is small so it's often full. The deli counter is amazing. Their selection, service, efficiency, generosity, samples, and pricing is why I like it. The staff are knowledgeable and fast. They offer you the first slice of most products you order and they check with you on the slice thickness. Compare pricing with any big box store and you'll see that Italian Centre is more competitive and with a better product. The bakery and cafe restaurant are the other busy parts of the business but I don't frequent them as often as the deli. read more

We love Italian Centre Shop! Love that you can stop by to buy groceries, pick up a meal or even some treats! We love their Pistachio cake so much my brother requestion it as his birthday cake last year. Also, tried this Golden Apple jam in one of their charcuterie sets one time (yes, you can get those too) and it was so good and went back just to buy more jam! read more

I have gone to the bakery 3 times in the last 2 months looking for non spicy sausage roll. They only have spicy, no non spicy. Because of that I leave the store and don't shop for other items at the store. I don't understand why this Italian bakery does not make non spicy sausage rolls. read more

Love it here! Stopped to eat lunch. Had the crab corner chowder soup and focaccia sandwich with capicola spinach sandwich. Both fabulous. Yum. The cappuccino was amazing. Smooth and flavorful. After we ate we looked around and had many opportunities to purchase and delight in all the foods for sales a great place to shop for all you deli needs and desires and more. Bakery. Butcher. Etc etc. read more

I especially hate how they sell their submarine sandwiches, that they say are made daily, and they are not , as the bread is stale bread. I wished they would put a date made on the sandwiches, so that if it is made fresh daily we should have it prepared on fresh bread. This isn't the first time this has happened, and I am disappointed, what a waste of money. If they need to sell the stale dated sub sandwiches, why not give them to the homeless shelters. but when you are paying $ 10.00 for a sandwich you should not be throwing away your money. read more

Love shopping at Italian centre for all my food needs! There are several locations across Edmonton but I frequent the west end one more as we live closest to it! Cheese & meats for charcuterie boards are def more affordable there! read more

I love this place!!! Super huge variety of groceries that are hard to find. You can find burrada cheese here in the deli, which is a gem when it's impossible to find here in the city. They also have a bakery attachment with a various assortment of Italian baked goodies. They have cannoli's here! read more

A little bit of everything in stock. If you need good Italian basic ingredients, it is a good place, and the biscotti, tiramisu and breads are great. The attached coffee shop is a nice place to get a cappuccino and rest. read more

A taste of old Italy. Authentic deli and store Also a great source for delicious coffee beans at a great price..

Oh yay, Italian Centre on westend! Bakery has lots of choices to pick from including cakes in so many flavours including raspberry, strawberry, nutella, chocolate, mocha, and more! Éclairs, cream filled pastries, tiramisu, banana bread, and more than I can remember! So much to choose from and a great price of $2.25/piece or a dozen for less than $23! Great for times when you have visitors coming, or if you want desserts for dinner. They have a great seating area and sandwiches and drinks too. Fresh bread you can help yourself and bag too. Deli section with meats and cheese was busy. And they have a number system so great when lots of people waiting. Too bad they didn't have this in the bakery as it was busy there too. Produce section had some great prices but not as much variety as larger stores. Most tills were open and no wait! Service was good. There is parking by the entrance and north and south of the store but likely gets busy on the weekends. Great place to meet a friend for dessert and coffee, or pick up some treats for home! read more

I love going here just to buy baked treats individually. I don't always want an entire cake. They always have such a great variety. Quality food. And the Gelato is delicious read more

This is their best location. Great coffee and sandwiches. I also love their mozzarella selection.

Oh such great pizza! No one elses can compare!

Always a great place to have my decaf Americano and fancy dessert. They have tons to choose from. Sometimes we like to come here for their soup & sandwiches or their pizza Service is great and very sanitary! read more

Always a buzz of cultural delight. Whether you are shopping for pasta, pasta sauce, spices or just coming in for all the delicious baked goods. this one stop shop is a place to get educated and everything Italian and everything delicious!! read more

WHOA. This place is all kinds of freakin' WOW! I don't even know where to start. I just went in because I'd been meaning to for so long, and I finally had a chance. I was really overwhelmed, but made mental notes as I walked the aisles. It will be easier once I know what I want. I settled for a calzone, white chocolate and strawberry tart and blood orange soda to go. Couldn't help but notice the "No alcohol past this point' sign. Wait...does that mean I could have sat and had a drink with my lunch? Coooool! I was on my way out the door with my take-out when I noticed they had an entire section devoted to kitchen gadgets and dishware. I picked up a couple of cute gifts. I can't wait to drag my troll over to see it! read more

Great store lots super fantastic Italian food only one problem,when go to pay for goods they are going to ask you would you like to pay $1.00 for a plastic bag . I thought to myself is this guy joking but no he was serious.A dollar for a plastic bag what a dirty under handed way to treat your customers. Good thing for me I only had 3 items because if it was full cart I would be leaving empty handed and very angry.I must say I've had it up to my ears with environmental foolishness. read more

Always a great place to spend time looking around. I love going here to build dinner on the fly. You'll also find some good meats like bison, and elk, and some different cuts you may not find elsewhere...Fresh baked breads and dough, and a whole array of desserts in the attached Cafe. If you haven't been, just go! You won't be disappointed. read more

This market is a Mecca of Italian goodies & groceries! In the 6 or so months since it opened it has become my absolute favourite place to shop. The store itself is gorgeous; wall to wall white marble that gleams in the light that shines in from the large, floor to ceiling windows. The produce is always fresh, the dairy cases busting at the seems with the most delectable cheeses from around the word. The bakery is what I imagine heaven much be like - cannolis, florentines, shortbread, meringues, flans and the most amazing breads! And then there is the meat counter, or should I say counters, plural! I can't even put into words... just a place of sheer carnivorous delight! There is tons of parking available out front. A Spinelli's Cafe inside with killer cappuccinos. What else can I say but go, shop, and be in love with food again! read more

Good place to go for that special Italian ingredient. We used to LOVE the pastries, but, they've gone downhill. Last time we ordered a lemon slice and mocha slice. No difference in the taste. So sad. They used to be fabulous. Deli selections are still excellent. The meat and cheese varieties are wonderful. Vegetables are so so. Not as fresh as they could be. Prices are a little higher than Save-On-Foods read more

This wasn't my first visit to the Italian Centre, but my last visit was many years ago and all I could remember was the huge selection of charcuterie and cheeses. Slightly overwhelming to say the least, meats and cheeses (at the time) I had never even heard of. With some guidance from the staff I was able to select some delights. Fast forward a few years... My most recent visit was only for some pastries and a quick lunch, so I didn't have time to browse the huge selection of Italian delights. I decided to go with the Mossimo pizza. The toppings were fresh the cheese was bubbly! The crust was thin and baked to perfection. I wasn't expecting such a huge pizza- definitely big enough to share! And priced at just $14? A steal if you ask me! For pastries we chose the Cream Horns; while they were quite pricy, they were certainly delicious. Likely made that day, they were fresh, creamy and flakey! Impossible not to over indulge! While visiting the Italian Centre I suggest enjoying a freshly crafted coffee beverage and a pastry. The perfect treat before or after shopping. read more

Italian Centre Shop - Oh My LANTA!! - Bakeries Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Super fresh & new! Awesome bakery has so many tasty treats, from cakes, cookies, cream filled pastries, breads and other yummy goods. Cool little seating area so you can have a treat and coffee to fuel up before shopping, or relax and chat. The dry goods selections are so varied, that if you want a fancy pasta, sauce, jam, pickled something or spices chances are you'll find it here. The Deli section is loaded with meats and cheese & antipasto and it's busy. Make sure you take a # right away, even if you're not quite sure what you want yet. They will cut a small sample if you want to taste something before buying, and on our trip, they pulled out & prepped a fresh leg of prosciutto for us, so we could have our little portion sliced off. It took a lot of effort on their part to get it ready, but they were super nice and friendly the whole time and talked us through a few other options for our antipasto dinner feast. Produce is a side note here really, the best bargain is in the fresh basil. Checkouts are plentiful and speedy, and the parking is roomy enough for trucks and cars to fit. Will certainly be back again for the deli selections alone! read more

Amazing atmosphere! Great baked goods, will go back and check out more soon! Cafe was so busy, you know it has to be good! Anyway bought some goodies here awhile ago, never had cannelloni, was so looking forward to it! So very disappointed! It was nasty! Never again!! My stepdaughters neighbor made her some for Christmas, WOW! Now I'm sure that is what cannelloni is supposed to be like! read more

I usually go to the southside location for the Italian Centre Shop, just because I spend more time on the southside, but the other day I was in the west end and decided to visit the newest branch of the Italian Centre Shop. This location is conveniently located by West Edmonton Mall (it's right by Spence Diamonds) so it's easy to find. It's not in West Ed however, which is great because I've gotten to really hate fighting the crowds in that mall). What was the point of this ramble, just that you'll be able to find the Italian Centre Shop easily. The building is new and it's pretty bright. The aisles are a bit small and shorter than a big grocery store. I don't know how it compared to the original location (I've never been), but with the southside it seems to be a bit bigger, but not by much. The deli counter is huge, lot's of delicious meats and cheeses to buy (and olives if you're into that sorta of thing). The bakery has delicious breads and pastries, like focaccia bread and cannoli. There's a small produce section, plus a variety of other food products, most from Italy, but also from other places in Europe. I always love coming to the Italian Centre Shop. The prices can be a bit more than at a regular grocery store, but they carry brands and items I haven't found anywhere else in Edmonton. I don't speak/read/understand Italian or any other language aside from English (well maybe a little French). I've often gone into this store and just picked up something random to buy, without having any idea of what it is or if it's good. Maybe I'm just a nerd, but it's always a fun adventure heading to the Italian Centre Shop. read more

The Italian center on the West end is our favourite place to get authentic Italian ingredients. They have an extensive deli area with meats, cheeses and olives. The majority of what they sell is imported directly from Italy and is of utmost quality. We come here for there natural flours for pizza and pasta making, as well as there huge selection of cheeses and a variety of beautiful cured meats. The only negative thing that I would say here is the espresso at Spinellis is not authentic. When I go to Italy I expect a legitimate barista to serve espresso not just a button to be pressed. But maybe that's just the coffee snob in me talking! read more

Fresh food! Enjoyed the pizza and bakery items. Very busy place , for obvious reasons!! Will visit again!!

A little taste of Italy and other parts of Europe! You'll find brands of foods here that aren't as easily available at ordinary supermarkets. $2.00 fresh pizza dough is a must buy! They freeze well and your pizzas will be amazing. The deli is off the charts. You'll find all sorts of proscuitto, salami, mortadella, capocollo and more varying in spiciness and also hybrids! My favourite is the spicy salami proscuitto. Cheese for days! There's just a wack load of cheese to choose from and it's the best. There's fresh treats also at the bakery with all the classic italian goodies to things like croissants and macaroons. Pasta! There's like three aisle of straight up pastas. Ain't nothing like loading up on carbs! Also a good place to find truffle oil. Yummmmm! There isn't as much selection when it comes to produce but I'd go here for the specialty foods and go to superstore or Safeway for your produce. read more

Their bakery is the best as they have lots of selection. Their pizza from the cafe is very fresh and tasty as well.

Amazing array of Italian products. Proper Italian coffee and pastry counter. Great pizza! Some of the staff are very young and inexperienced but it seems that the more senior staff really bend over backwards to get them up to speed. read more

Love love LOVE This place!! Especially the true Original Store.. in Little .. yummy food friendly staff and the delicious deli is alway yummier read more

I can't say enough nice things about the Spinelli family and the Italian Center. If you like Charcuterie, here is a great place to go and get all of the ingredients for your board. They have a great selection of meats, cheeses and olives. I especially love visiting the Italian Center to make up gift baskets for friends and family. They have a great selection of European brands that the big grocery stores don't carry. Italian Center also supports local producers. They carry locally made gelato, perogies, pasta etc. The bakery is pretty amazing as well. Very beautiful selections for special occasions. The "Spinelli's" cafe that is attached to all of the locations is a great place to have a latte and a panini. There are also panini wrapped and ready for you to take home. Very difficult to find a place to sit on the weekend. It is quite the popular place. They also have a small selection of kitchenware available. If you like to make your espresso without the fancy machines, let Italian Center hook you up. read more

Went here last December to buy a Tiramisu cake for my wife's birthday. It was so good, my wife loved it, you guys have set the bar high. The mascarpone cheese was extra creamy and smooth. The dark chocolate shavings add a little bittersweet taste as well. Food is good, a bit on the pricier side though but once in a while wouldn't hurt. Parking is not difficult at all. I've recommended this place to my friends and they liked it here too. read more
