I love this place! The Caesar salad is the BEST! The gnocchi was heavenly (please bring it back :) and so was the ravioli. The menu is inventive and changes from time to time. The best food I've had for a long time. And I can't wait to go back.
I had a chance to finally give these guys a go this past weekend with friends. I don't eat animals so they made me a custom dish that was fantastic! I also had the pear salad which was delicious. My meat eating friends raved about the meatballs and assorted skewers so if you're an animal eater then looks like you're in good shape with Tavernetta also.
The real kicker though is the staff. You're not gonna get a more welcoming atmosphere anywhere in the city (unless these guys open a second place I suppose). 5 stars all around. Great job guys!
What an adorable little place! Knowledgeable staff gave great suggestions and helped customize my meal to be vegan friendly! AMAZING back yard patio to enjoy the weather (they have bug spray and sunscreen to keep you comfy!) and hit up a game of bocce.
This cozy little house on Edmonton Trail offers the best Italian food in Calgary. Their gnocchi is my favourite! It’s perfect and delicious in every way. Their meatballs and calamari (not deep fried) are also top notch. You can’t go wrong with any menu item. They also have an extensive wine list, local beers, and great cocktails! The best thing about Tavernetta though are the people who work there. They are so friendly, caring, and amazing at what they do! Definitely check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!
We had a fantastic evening for a birthday party with over 30 guests. The food and wine was excellent and the gnocchi and meatballs brought out at the very end was a highlight for sure. The owners and staff were fun, friendly and exceptional hosts. A hidden gem, this is a great place to have a large party and I look forward to going back for lunch and dinner.
Love the food, service and ambiance.
You feel like you’re going over to a friend’s house for dinner. It’s intimate, warm and inviting.
The patio in the back is quaint and romantic with the lights.
There’s a cute little bocce court in the back, which is fun.
They have a fantastic sparkling rose.
Apparently it originally started with a lot of influences from Northern Italy, and have moved South this year with their inspiration.
The food we had and would recommend include:
- Crostini with olive condimento and beet and beet and eggplant nduja.
- Meatballs
- Bucatini, ravioli and calebresi
- pistachio cookie
Delicious food, great atmosphere and excellent service. The pasta is cooked perfectly and everything is family style, which is a nice change.
It’s like an explosion of flavour in each dish! We only had enough room in our bellies for three dishes but I would love to go back and try more! The service was great and the space is super unique.
Great food, great staff, lovely cozy atmosphere! Love their Venetian inspired happy hour with chiccetti (Italian tapas).
