Bottom level was 40% full 7PM on a Tuesday night. Upstairs was booked for private event…read more Server was professional if not a little stiff. Place has "very fancy" feel and would be good for special events/celebration dinners. Free bread to start was fine but not the best I have had. I prefer mine with butter but the oil/vinegar is probably more typical. We tried the: Calamari: 10/10, great texture, loved that we got 2 sauces to dip in. Fettuccine Tavolino (cheese wheel pasta): 10/10. Boyfriend was not too full after. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Nice cheesy creamy flavor. Ravioli Alla Zucca: 9/10, I can't remember if there were 6 or 7 ravioli in the dish. Very pleasing presentation. In my opinion too many sundried tomatoes. I love that it comes with sundried tomatoes as that added some great tang/flavor. Ravioli themselves were perfectly cooked. Brown butter sauce was excellent and wanted more. Creme Brule: 9/10, exactly as expected, definitely enough to share between 2 people. Affogato: vanilla gelato was 11/10 good to me but boyfriend didn't like the flavor. We both agree the espresso was excellent. Very small portion (too small to share!). Free cookies at the end were fine. Overall food was excellent and I'll be back but to try something different on the menu.

Violino, in an old home, its staff, and the food exceeded our expectations. We will most certainly be making a reservation the next time we visit the Oilers hometown. Damn that was good! Ushered upstairs, didn't really get a chance to take it in, so will be sure to stop and look around next time. The complimentary bread was great, the martini's good although one glass had far more than the other. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese, and although quite different from what we make at home, was excellent! K had the Alfredo flambé which was fired up tableside. It seems to be a popular option as it happened 6 or 7 times while we dined. They also don't soak you for the privilege of the tableside presentation. It was a little cheesy for K, but excellent nonetheless. Our server Eugenia from Hamburg was excellent, she can serve us anytime. She was attentive, and her timing was exceptional! We plan on making a reservation the next time we are in Edmonton. Top notch experience!

Came here for Valentines day set dinner menu. Sourdough…read morestarter bread was so hard and dry. Shrimp were 10/10. Arancini 10/10. Crab ravioli was fine 8/10 (pasta itself was great but the filling was underwhelming), but scallops served within was 10/10. Raspberry mouse was so-so to me 7/10, but boyfriend loved it. Drinks: Holy Water was surprisingly very weak in overall alcohol flavor and taste Pink Lady: also very weak in flavor but lemon sorbet in it was good. Overall they have amazing pasta here and its a nice date-night place.

I can't sit to try more items on the menu. What's funny is we tried to get reservations somewhere much more high profile and couldn't for weeks, but I truly think Nuovo Bistro's food is likely superior! The service was spectacular as well. We enjoyed chatting with our server. He was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He even gave us the whole bottle of wine even though we only ordered glasses. The restaurant is cozy but not over the top. Anyone could feel comfortable coming here. We will be back again soon!

Server was nice but never refilled our table water even after we moved it a couple times to be within her view of the table (my friend swears he saw her see us move it to the edge of the table too). Rialto Float cocktail was nice if you like Pisco. Royal Jamaican Ginger beer was good too. Olive Calde - large portion for price. Olives were fine. Calamari - 10/10 delicious, dips were great too. Gnocchi with pancetta - 10/10, surprising filling and even though the Gnocchi were huge chunks they were well cooked. Waitress recommend Campanella Aragosta - 7/10. If you like spicy it's fine but otherwise the flavor is actually very bland. Pasta itself was unique and well cooked. Large portion. Beef Brisket Agnolotti - 7/10, 8 large ravioli filled with brisket. Sauce was good, ravioli were well cooked but brisket inside was pretty underwhelming. Friend who got this dish was ++ hungry still after and said he would order something else next time for the price. Funghi Cipolla - 8/10, it was as expected. Ricotta cheesecake - cheesecake itself was great with the ricotta taste but crust was soooo bad. So overly thick and dry and considering our waitress failed to give us water the entire meal it was impossible to eat (so dry). Date cake - Unfortunately they didn't have gelato as was advertised on the menu to go with the cake so whipped cream was substituted. Was told this only after we ordered and friend asked for the flavors of gelato. Cake had a few uncooked flour lumps. Flavor was fine but not as flavorful/spice-heavy as I hoped. Sprouts on top looked really messy but tasted fine. Overall not a seamless experience as I would have expected from an establishment of this caliber.

This was our first time visiting this location which is weird since it's the closest to home…read more They are situated in an out-of-the-way area of Stony Plain in a super-cute little outdoor mall and when you pull up it feels like you're tucked away in a cozy little mountain town. The restaurant was extremely busy, but we managed to get a table right away. The decor is nice, the ambiance is warm & friendly, and the tables are close together so it feels cozy. The drink special was $2 off caesars, so I had a dill pickle Caesar and a bacon Caesar, both were delicious! Hubby had a beer (boring, I know). I ordered the special which was prosciutto wrapped sole w/pan fried shrimp covered with a buttery white wine sauce and a side of mashed potatoes, asparagus and bacon brussel sprouts. Other than being a touch salty, the meal was delicious! Hubby ordered the veal cannelloni with a side Caesar salad. He also said his dish was a bit over salted. The service from every single staff member we encountered was absolutely top notch! I get why they're so busy here, such a hidden gem. We will most definitely be back!
