    Table # 9 near the bar: There were many large tables on this side of the restaurant. We couldn’t converse without shouting. The food we had ( calamari, pasta shells and linguine with clams) were very salty. Focaccia was excellent and our server, Carla was good. Our dining experience was hard work. We were anxious to leave.

    Nice home cooked vibe to the restaurant. Food was great. We didn’t have to wait too long nicely spiced and great sauces on them. The tiramisu was to die for. So is the cheesecake. Only complaint is there is a big party in the second room and they had all the shutters open and the other doors open, and we literally had to almost yell across our table to talk. so something to bear in mind when you have a big group like that, make sure you shut those shutters and doors instantly.

    Nice place to meet, quite with good of ambience & nice lighting, romantic for couples. Food is great, however, a bit pricey if one considers all other features in consideration. Good experience and service. Fantastic place to definitely meet and eat. Should have more vegetarian and vegan options.

    Service terrible. Never asked how we liked our meals or if we needed more water. The food was only so so, as seemed to be cooked in a lot of oil. I had the sea bass and my husband had chicken.

    Pasta is excellent and you must try their signature portobello mushroom dish. Service is always good and prices are reasonable. Nice ambience, but it does get loud and sometimes difficult to have an intimate conversation. Would rate higher, but they have no handicap washrooms and the washrooms they do have are down a steep flight of stairs, which could be difficult for some people.

    Everything about this place and is wonderful. From the intimate and cozy atmosphere, to the delectable food, Villa Firenze never disappoints. If you are looking for traditional Italian dishes that are generous in size and reasonable in price, this is the place for you. Their bread (which comes with the meal) is some of the best focaccia in Calgary and their tiramisù and cheesecake are to die for. This hidden gem is a real treat.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at my favourite Italian restaurant, and once again, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality. The service at this establishment is truly impeccable. The servers are all attentive, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure a memorable dining experience. They are well-versed in the menu, offering insightful recommendations and answering any questions with ease. Throughout the evening, my water glass was never empty, and my needs were anticipated before I even had to ask. The attention to detail and level of professionalism displayed by the staff is truly commendable. Now, let's talk about the food. Oh, the food! Every dish that graced my table was a masterpiece. The flavours were vibrant, the presentation was stunning, and the quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the melt-in-your-mouth portobello mushroom, each dish was a testament to the chef's skill and passion for Italian cuisine. In conclusion, my favourite Italian restaurant continues to impress me with its impeccable service and outstanding food. The staff's attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine warmth make every visit feel like a special occasion. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed.

    The restaurant was beautiful inside. Rustic Italian. The Caesar salad was to die for. The best I have ever had. Very very fresh with a hint of anchovy and creaminess so delicious. Our pasta, dinners were good portions. Customer service was excellent. I would write. This is 5+ and highly recommend.
