All of my things were pushed to a different area and left there. I had 2 brand new bags with me and MONICA would not pack my items. She did not even give us plastic bags to put our meat in. When I asked she said no the store does not pack items since covid! That was over 2.5 years ago! She had no mask on & was packing other bags. SO DO NOT GO TO A shorter CHUBBY OLDER WOMAN WITH BLACK STRAIGHT HAIR & dirty nails NAMED Monica at the checkout or avoid this location and go to Calgary Italian Center on 20 Ave & Edmonton Tr. - they are amazing!

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.

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.

No surprise with the GST, very direct and clear on price ... nice! It was a little confusing after my order where my sub was to be made. To the left of the register is the kitchen area where they make the sandwiches and deep fried stuff. To the right of the register is the designated sub creation area. It took a few minutes to understand their process. The order system was also kind of weird. Basically you wait to the side Starbucks style for your order and the dish gets called out. I found it a little strange that everyone waiting will know what I ordered. Despite the chaos of the process, they manage to do a lot of turnover during the lunch rush. One should note that most of the food here is pre-maid and/or frozen food fry and serve. However they also sell soups, salads and made-on-the-spot sandwiches. It isn't the most gourmet place for food. But is it quick and easy? You bet! Open 6 am to 4 pm M-F. 17/30 Yelp 30 Day Challenge

This place is withing the confines of the plus 15 system, just at the bottom of the Calgary Tower. I had seen people with what I thought was Vietnamese food and wondered where they got it from. Here's the place. I recently tried the lemongrass chicken which was decent but not lemony enough for me. The crispy roll it came with wasn't one of the best I've had but ok none the less. The shrimp salad rolls were pretty good, so was the peanut dipping sauce although it could be more peanutty. One morning my stomach was growling so my colleague and I ventured over to World Delicatessen for some breakfast. I had an english muffin with egg, ham and cheese. I have to say it was way too salty. Not sure if I'll try breaky here again but certainly will have the Vietnamese again. They also have Viet subs which looked pretty good. Maybe that'll be next on my list.

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.

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.

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.
