    Pizza snacks...corn-based...so tasty!
    Marianne H.

    One of Calgary's best kept secrets is the Italian Store in the skyline area of Calgary (right next to the old WestJet head office off of Deerfoot and McKnight). I used to work a few blocks from here and make lunchtime pilgrimages here at least a few times a week. They have a little lunch area with fab-u-lous daily specials, not to mention Italian donughts, fresh baking and a great gelato selection. Now, on the shopping side you will find all sorts of imported goodies and food for what are most likely the best prices in the city. (Sorry Lina's, I love you but...) Since they are affiliated with Scarpones (right next door), there is ample selection, plus everything else you can imagine. Their kitchen gadgets are also affordable prices, as is the crockery. Their produce is always beautiful, the fresh-frozen selection is simply to die for. Many of the sauces and other items are made in-house. Gluten-free heaven here as well, which is surprising to some. The corn pasta selection here is out of this world and CHEAP!!! Looking for gluten-free farfalle or lasagna noodles? Check. Also, looked at some of the snacks and found a pizza-flavoured crunchy snack that doesn't have all the crap in it that I can't eat! I could go on and on about how friendly the staff are, and how they are always well stocked. My suggestion is that you just go!

    I went to the Kensington Road location in Calgary today and the kitchen staff was extremely helpful…read morein accommodating me as a vegan. They offered to make a vegan version of any of the items on the brunch menu and also had several salads at the deli counter that I could have ordered, and a vegan bowl. They even printed off the ingredients list of the three salads at the deli counter that are vegan so that I could read the ingredients myself (without me having asked for this). I ended up ordering the Spicy Tofu and Brown Rice Power Bowl, which was delicious. I knew that the bowl would take a few extra minutes to prepare because it was not part of the brunch menu but ordered it anyway because I didn't mind waiting. The kitchen staff came over to my table after I ordered and offered me a free beverage of my choice while I waited for my food. I ended up having a delicious latte with soy milk while I waited the few minutes it took to make my bowl. The bowl was a mix of tofu and mushrooms in a delicious sauce over rice with fresh raw vegetables. I would definitely go back for the Spicy Tofu and Brown Rice Power Bowl and to try other menu items. Also, the Kensington Road location is a really nice space and I like the set up (you order at the counter then they bring you all of your food).

When i went in, this woman behind the counter came out and followed me around the store from 6 inches away. I could feel her body heat on me and hear her breath. I came in classy with a Coach purse and I'm a decent citizen. I can pay for my stuff. She treated me like I was a transient or crack head trying to steal. I went to the section where they did have Lou's meat, however it was on sale because every flavour.. every pack was expired!! I asked if there was any full price packs that were not expired and was told " what we have is whats there! what you want??!?!" WOW So then i go to the instant noodle aisle and they don't have the instant Mr. Noodle brand that my sis was looking for but, what they do have is every other brand covered in at least a centimetre of dust in ALL brands of instant noodles! I've never seen anything like it! How old could this food be!?!?!? Do not go here unless you want expired cheap food and to be treated like a criminal when you might be fooled into buying it! Never experienced anything like this in my life!

When I came to the till with my stuff, he didn't even bother to try and engage with me, instead he kept talking to his friend. He scanned my stuff and shoved the debit machine at me, making zero attempt to tell me my total, or to acknowledge me in general. No Frills will be getting my business from now on.

    Overall, I like this store as it is clean, great meat section, fruits & vegetables are generally…read morepretty fresh and the bakery is adequate. Don't shop here that often because twice I have been through the cashier checkouts and have been overcharged by $13.67 and $ 6.53. Now I only go through the self checkout. Also, I don't like to have to wait an entire year to get my membership rebate cheque. Most places I shop for my grocery needs have immediate cash points which once accumulated can be applied anytime. Their prices are about the same as Safeway and Sobeys but not as good as Real Canadian superstores. The staff are generally pretty friendly and helpful. Parking is fairly good. They do have some good sales once in awhile.

    Depends where you live. But I was recommended coming here by my boss. Prices are better than…read moreSafeway, I think. But again. It depends on what you are buying. So came here to do groceries. Well if you join their Co-op membership then you get to collect points and at the end of the year you get a rebate chq depending on how much you spend. To join just give 2 pieces of ID and pay $1. Its that easy. They are big and clean here. Nice to shop around. I noticed that there are more people here compared to Safeway. They have a pharmacy inside and also they have a big selection of plants. They also have free parking. I like that they accept tap or Apple Pay.
