You should not have to remind severes of their job. You bring butter out for bread then never bring bread. Asked for garlic toast with my meal and noticed I was charged for it. Not to impressed with that part. Everything was very very strong garlic good for me but my date didn't eat much because of it being too strong of garlic

Nice very casual restaurant. Service very good, and let’s you know what to expect Ie calamari not battered, sauce very sweet etc to make sure you get what you are hoping for. Would love if they added veggies to the meals but you have to pick pasta or salad. Great little place though, and food is hot and fresh.

We were greeted with a professional and swift reception upon entering the establishment. Service was friendly. We had the special of the day which was very good. Other entrees brought from the kitchen to surrounding tables all looked very appetizing and portions were generous and reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food provided.

The food and service was excellent! Just think they should have lunch prices for lunch. If we had gone for supper, it was would have been fine price wise, but for lunch there should be more affordable options.

Wonderful and delicious food every time we go here! Quality has always been outstanding and of great value. A true gem in Calgary. Plus, they are Halal, which is a big bonus for the Muslim community. Highly recommend their chicken entree’s ! Their pizza’s are one of the best in the city.

Was our first time visiting this restaurant and it happened to be on Valentines day. Our server seemed extremely frazzled - when we asked for recommendations it almost felt like choices were made for us and the server was rushing us to get our orders in. We ordered calamari thinking that it would be the common fried option but what we ended up being served was sauted calamari in a tomato sauce and did not end up eating it. Same with my wife's meal she got the veal marsala and it tasted like it was doused with maple syrup... was way too sweet and she did not eat it. Both the calamari and the veal was picked up from our table by a different server and our server was never made aware of the issue. When we were done our appetizers there was a 25-30 min wait to get our mains and our server thought that we had already got our food and asked us whether we wanted any dessert. This is when we said "uhm, we are still waiting for our food" At the end of the night we did voice our concerns to our server and expected that the calamari and veal would be taken off of our bill but it was not. As I was paying for it our server asked me whether "they" took the veal off our meal and I let her know that they did not... she did offer to take it off right at the end but by then I had already paid for everything. On our way out they apologized to us for the wait and for not taking care of the veal and let us know that the next time we come in we should remind her of it and they will try and do something for us then but at this point given the experience we had I don't think me and my wife will be returning to this restaurant. The place had good ratings so we figured we would try out something new for valentines.. ah well.. maybe it was really busy and had everyone at the restaurant thrown off their usual routines.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. We were in Calgary for a Dog Show and were looking for a restaurant close to our hotel. Based on Open Table reviews we opted for this gem, tucked in a strip mall. At first we were worried when we saw that there was only one other table seated. However, the restaurant soon filled up. This homestyle Italian eatery was absolutely great, in terms of value, food, wine selection and cheerfully delightful service. Both of us had the Stracciatella soup, as we almost never see it on menus anymore. It was delicious. We also both had the lemon veal, accompanied by pastas; the Gnocci for myself and my husband had Spaghetti Carbonara. Flavours were outstanding all around. We dine out more frequently than we should and have high standards for restaurants. This gem exceeded our expectations. We would definitely seek out this restaurant again when in Calgary.

Garden of Italy was exactly as we expected from the previous reviews. The food was amazing from the wine, to the bruschetta and Caesar salad appetizer to every single pasta dish my family ordered for dinner! Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff and servers we tentative and very knowledgeable. We didn’t have just one server waiting on us but they all chipped in to clear dishes etc even if they weren’t serving our table. Stephanie was a delight! Highly recommend this little gem!
