    After a long walk at Glenbow provincial park, we were obviously hungry:) Found this highly rated restaurant and it sure was really cool. We ordered Marinated Mozzarell, 4 Chesse Pennne, and garlic bread. They've very mentioned vegetarian options on the menu which was of great help. Service was fast and great. I couldn't stop noticing but I think the staff was speaking Italian, not sure though. Can you confirm? :) Good authentic Italian. No complaints about the quality of food. But it's a tad bit costly looking at the quantity.

    Tortellini - half eaten (couldn't wait for the camera)

    A great little Italian restaurant, highly recommended. A small place, they serve a good spritz and some nice pastas and pizzas.

    If you appreciate real Italian food at its best, this is the place for you. It is the best in the Greater Calgary Area.

    Poor concept...take out is popular, but really small portions for the price; and astonishingly slow service.

    Great simple food. Nice portions and good variety. Initially I thought the portion was small for the price but it was actually very filling.

    Oh my this little jem is amazing. The food was fabulous and the tiramisu to warrant a return visit. Kassia was delightful. Ask for her.

    This place was one of the key takeaways for food on our Banff trip! Order the Seafood Linguine and…read moreCaesar Salad with a Espresso Martini for a drink. You are very welcome! We came here on a whim to find a nice place to eat as we were on our way to Lake Louise. We walked around town to find a place to eat and my wife loves Italian, so we tried to walk in at about 6pm. Luckily for us, there was an open seat (reservation are highly recommended.. it was packed). We were greeted by the waiter who gave us the choice of sparkling or still water. Fancy schmancy. We got the still house water. The place was packed, full, and a bit loud, but also romantic given the atmosphere and the views. Good place to take a date, but not a good place if you wanted a private booth/moment. I ordered the seafood linguine, and my wife ordered the spicy rigatoni alla vodka. We also ordered the little gem caesar to share, and she also go the coffee martini for her drink. I got soda. The caesar came out and it was one of the best caesars I had. It was presented by having two baby heads of romaine lettuce covered with caesar dressing. Very tasty and creamy. Very very good! Next time, I am going to order one for just myself! Only eating one baby romaine head left me wanting more! After the salad, the pastas came out and the seafood linguine was remarkable! Presented as a bundle of linguini with seafood on the sides, all covered in white wine/clam sauce. One of THE BEST seafood linguines I have ever tried! My wife's spicy rigatoni was spicy and had a kick (I am Thai so take that for what it's worth). My wife thought it was a bit too spicy for her, but overall the dish was meh. Reminds me of the pasta alla vodka at Cheesecake Factory, but without the sausage. I do believe if there was an option to add sausage, the dish would've been 100x better. The dish just got bland the more you ate it. And because of this, I ended up eating the rigatoni, and my wife ate the linguini lol. Just kidding.. kinda. We shared our plates :) I highly recommend this place. The rigatoni was nothing special, but everything else was spectacular. We were even contemplating going back there on our drive home, but it opened at 4pm that day, and that was too late on our schedule to wait. Nevertheless, we'll be back again!

    The ambience here is absolutely stunning! It was easy to get a reservation through Open Table and…read morethere was a lot of seating inside the restaurant. Below are the dishes we ordered: scallop crudo -- absolutely delicious! The scallops were so fresh and the sauce was so yummy. Loved the crispies on top (potato?). This was my favorite dish from our visit! winter squash pizza -- this sounded so unique so we had to try it! It was flavorful, and the star was definitely the crust!! The pizza crust is the best I've ever had; it was perfectly airy and light! rigatoni carbonara -- the rigatoni was a bit undercooked and the guanciale was overcooked. Overall, we did not enjoy this dish and would not recommend it. We were a bit disappointed about the pasta but enjoyed the other two dishes we ordered!

My wife and I went for dinner on our last night in Banff, and it was one of those meals you walk away from genuinely impressed. On the advice of our server, David, we started with the focaccia bread and meatballs. Both were spot-on--simple, flavourful, and exactly what you'd hope for from an Italian kitchen that takes its craft seriously. David clearly knew the menu well and didn't steer us wrong. For mains, we had the Lobster Carbonara and the Lasagna. The Carbonara was rich and full of flavour with a generous amount of lobster, and the Lasagna had that classic, comforting depth you want--no shortcuts, just solid cooking done right.. We learned Chef Tony, Who is of Italian heritage, learned much of his skills from his Nona. What really stood out was the service. David made the whole experience easygoing and enjoyable. Professional, attentive, and genuinely helpful without being over the top. He's the kind of server who elevates a night out simply by being good at what he does. David told us he had been in the area for 15 years and his level of service shows just that. Overall, the food was phenomenal--exactly the quality you expect from a Fairmont property--and the atmosphere matched it. Castillo Italiana delivered a great evening for both of us. Highly recommend! Dress up or dress down - They'll look after you either way!

To top it off, the food came out fast, fresh, and hot. I was exhausted and a bit hangry, so I couldn't fully appreciate the taste of everything we ordered. That said, the dishes that stood out were the seasoned lamb chops, the big prawns, and the fried calamari were all very tasty. Their special lobster carbonara was disappointing, although the lobster itself was good. By the time the food was served that evening, after a full afternoon of activities, it was more about refueling than indulging.
