We loved the variety of pasta shapes and flavors, and you can watch them make it in house too :) My favorite pasta was the truffle agnolotti and the tomato-based rigatoni with just a hint of spice. The agnolotti was unique and tasty; the cheese filling inside was so creamy, smooth, and thick without being pasty. And the perfectly sized rigatoni was simple but creamy and flavored just right (wished there was some meat though!). The pastas were cooked nicely, but I prefer just a smidge more al dente. Happy to have vegetable options too! The asparagus and beets were yummy and a little different (yellow beets with a goat cheese sauce instead of crumbled, almonds and burrata on the asparagus), and the salads were full of flavor without dousing them in dressing. Overall, a nicely presented and delicious meal for everyone! Our waiter, Dylan, was charming and friendly. He skillfully cleared our table's stacks of plates in one go with ease and kept our water glasses full (thank you!). They were busy for dinner-- definitely make a reservation during your stay in Banff!

The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked, and the portion size was generous. I loved soaking up the rich, thick tomato clam broth with the delicious ciabatta bread. The vegetarian tofu bowl was another hit. It featured a flavorful peanut curry satay sauce, and the crispy texture of the tofu balanced perfectly with the rice and the crunchy cabbage, carrots, and edamame. Lastly, the AAA Alberta Beef Short Ribs entree ($47 CAD) was spectacular. The ribs were thoroughly marinated and so tender they literally fell apart in my mouth. The portion was so substantial that we had to take half of it home. Highly recommend!

Three strikes based on objective and public perspective…read more 1) I observed our blonde hair female server use her bare hands to open a package of prosciutto and spread it out on a cooked pizza for another customer's take out order. She also used her bare hands to slide off whole pizza from right to left inside takeout box. She wiped her hands on a clean napkin that she grabbed from the bar. Then she walked in the back. 2) Another male Caucasian employee brought out our pizzas. We immediately noticed that three of Carnivora pizza crust edges were burnt. I asked my husband if he would like to return the burnt pizza. He declined, extremely hungry from hiking and chose not to return it. Unburnt pizzas of Carnivora and pepperoni tasted ok. Not a first great impression. 3) A different Caucasian male employee used his bare hands to layer various toppings on a pizza that had to be placed in the oven. He wiped his hands on his black shirt. He walked in the back, came back out holding a package, opened it, stuck his right hand in it to remove and add some greens onto another pizza that had to go in the oven. Thankfully, not our order. Customer service was ok. Our server asked us if we need cutlery and how is our pizzas tasting. Wasn't busy.

At first I thought the food portions were small but once you start enjoying each entree, you realize they are just the right size! The simple Caesar salad was amazing. The shrimp aglio e olio appetizer had so many large prawns we couldn't finish. We also enjoyed the crispy calamari with our children as well. For our main entrees we stuck with seafood - cioppino and rockfish. Both amazing but enjoyed the cioppino slightly more. If we weren't so full from the appetizers would have wanted to try the lobster carbonara. Can't wait to come here again on our visit back to Banff. The staff at the Fairmont Banff Springs are always so attentive and that goes the same at Costello Italiana. The food came out timely and it was such a lovely dinner. All the food was prepared with such details. The ingredients were so fresh. Great dinner!

We got the pizza of the month - Beetza - cool flavors, but I wasn't a fan of the goat cheese. Buddha Gouda pizza - great flavors but very mild for my liking. Pizza itself was very fresh but quite greasy. Crust was really tasty in my opinion, not too hard so you can even eat the crust. Wings we ordered Red Rock Chili Lime and Lemon Herb but pretty sure we got Red Rock Chili Lime and Lemon Herb dry ribs (boneless bites). Red Rock Chili Lime wings flavor was not to my liking - personal preferences as everyone else said they were fine. Wings themselves were not a crispy as I would have liked. Bone-less bites were tasty and I would get again. Pop was in larger 500mls plastic bottle which was a good surprise. We got diet Pepsi, iced tea and ginger ale. Overall I like the style of pizza but would get different flavors. I also recommend the bone-less wings /?dry ribs.

We didn't want to feel like being pig pen with all the bugs around, so we took it to go. When we first went in, the folks staffing the place were half and half on friendly.

There was one young lady working at the front that was incredibly helpful, but seemed like the young man taking orders was bound and determined to speak over her and give his opinions. We liked the pizza, but definitely could see room for improvement in customer service regarding listening. Bless... Pizza was delicious and filled us up.

The restaurant had a chill vibe and comfortable booth, the service was great, and the food was delicious. The star of our meal was the tiki pizza. The theme of this pizza is comparable to any Hawaiian pizza (ham and pineapple), but this pizza just seemed to hit the perfect balance between approachable, satisfying, and elevated (due to the jalapeño oil). The meatballs were tasty and comforting. The sauce was good and served as a perfect dipping sauce for the pizza and garlic bread. I'm not big on beet salads, but I enjoyed this one. The unexpected star of the salad was the whipped feta. It was just a wonderful mix of salty, rich and airy. 5/5 will definitely return next time I visit Banff!

We ordered Calamari for an appetizer however the flavor lacked taste. I ordered the penne and meatballs, the meatballs were SO salty (and I love salt), the penne was very Al dente, cool, not warm and the sauce had a ton of oregano, not my vibe. My husband had chicken parmigiana which was ok, again the past sauce was not to our liking. The boys ordered chicken fettuccine, it lacked a lot of flavor. The staff were amazing but the food did not deliver. It is a beautiful atmosphere and I hope they do well with some adjustments.
