Via Cibo is located in the deerfoot meadows which specializes in Italian fast food. They have a system where you pay first and the server brings your food to you. I tried their pollo parmigiana sandwich (breaded chicken breast with provolone). The sandwich was delicious as the chicken breast was nicely cooked, juicy and tender. I liked the provolone cheese and marina sauce as it worked well with the flavors. This also came with a small side of arugula. Prices vary from $10 to $20 but you can tell this place uses fresh ingredients. The staff was nice and they regularly checked on you. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.
Very nice place to be and the food is fantastic kids loves to and crazy, fast service, free parking, low prizing, gooood time with friends, extremely clean.
The space inside is warm and modern with the nice flooring and the Edison bulbs. Ordered the Gorgonzola gnocchi and the prosciutto and arugula pizza. Husband liked both. I liked the gnocchi - the pizza was alright. Felt like it was missing something though. Coffee was not good and would not recommend.
I had always been curious about this place as I passed it when going to my favourite Walmart. I decided to go in the other day for a small meal. We ordered the Via Poutine and the mushroom soup.
It's the type of place where you order at the counter and they deliver it to your table. It reminds quite a bit of Famoso, another favourite of mine. The food arrived very quickly and was hot. The poutine was a great size and full of saucy porky goodness. I found it a bit too mild but then I added the chili oil and it became quite delicous! The soup was hot and creamy and pretty good as far as mushroom soup goes.
We are excited to go back and try the carbonara, pizza and gelato and update this review!

Very impressed! Really great service. The food was above average. We tried the caesar chicken salad. Delicious! Good size, good dressing and the chicken was cooked properly. The gnocchi was so yummy! The sauce was perfect! Would recommend this place and will be back.
LOVE the dine in experience as it is the perfect blend between a fastfood and restaurant. The decor is unique to me with some rare to find edison bulbs and a shiny pop machine that allows you to select your beverage.
The food is prepared for you as you can watch through the glass divider and the seperation of the beverage point of sale from the food point of sale is sheer genius. The gelato I havent tried but it is on my to do list.
Food is delicious and flavourful, giving the customer some authentic italian choices and the italian soda stands head and shoulders above the competitors. No free refills :(
Food is a bit pricy but what were you expecting? This aint your mom and pop pizza shop!
This is not really a 'fastfood' place. Quite a bit fancier food. And accordingly pricier. Came for Monday dinner, not too busy. Always can find a good seat. Their patio is open, not much of a view, but nice to be outside . Had the bruschetta, poutine, proscuto flatbread, and ceasar with steak. Love the food, the steak add on worth $5 extra. The gelato is excellent. Bruschetta is fresh. Kids friendly place, they have a kids menu but its not displayed. The service is good, they will bring you your food, but it's not full service. You pay up front. Serve your own drinks. Overall really chill atmosphere. Causal dinning with a bit more upscale Italian food.
Nice quick lunch spot tried the ossobuco sandwich which is slow roasted veal with arugula, fontina cheese, caramelized onions with garlic aioli. It was good & priced pretty well.
We checked out the newly opened NW location the past weekend and fell in love with the food. Everything is made fresh in house and you can taste that in your food. We loved the pasta al ragu di ossobuco. It is a must try. The pollo balsamico piadina was also fabulous. Bare in mind that the portion is huge. The only disappointment was the pizza - which turned out to be a little soggy. Will definitely go back again to try the brunch menu!
We love via cibo. Every time we visit the food is very fresh and tasty. It is intended as Italian street food but It feels like you're in a nice restaurant without the extreme high prices. You place your order when you go in and find a table after you've paid, and your food is brought out to you. The service is friendly. I love their pastas and piadinas. Their fries are also delicious! The sandwiches all come with a side salad. It's definitely somewhere nice and quick to pop by if you're looking to get in, and get out. I wouldn't bother with the drive all the way down south just to visit though. They did open a new location up in Coventry Hills so well will give that a go next time we're in the area!

We always drove by via Cibo and wondered how it was compared to the Cibo downtown. Finally after an IKEA run, we decided to walk in around 8:15pm.
Upon walking in, you're greeted with a very modern seat-yourself setting. The open kitchen had 3 staff. Order, pay your meal, take your table # and find a seat.
The appetizer meatballs came in 3 but was extremely salty. Scraping off the sauce, it was better. The pasta dishes is served with your choice of pasta and is well portioned, served with a plain slice of toast. The toast would've been better if there was garlic or some butter. I chose linguine for the pasta al ragu' di ossobuco which was delicious. My BF had the penne with broccolini and sausage and he thought it was good. The egg drop soup was pleasantly flavoured, not salty and comforting for a cold night.
Overall, I would come back if I as in the vicinity as the service is fast and the friendly guys do come out and check on you. The brunch menu looks pretty appetizing as well!
P.s. They also have gelato!
Nice place to have lunch if you're in the vicinity. Food comes out quick and everything I've tried there has been good. The pizzas are definitely worth the price,however, my friend ordered a panino and it didn't not look that great. It was just a small sandwich the price of my pizza. The pesto chicken pizza is delicious!!

Was here for lunch last Tuesday and had the best experience ever. Everything was
perfect! Service, food, ambience all on point! (quite a trendy restaurant). My friend ordered spaghetti with meatballs and I got al pesto chicken pizza. The way it works is, you go to the front and place your order and pre pay before the meal. The meal is then served
within 5-15 mins. Very very quick service for such a busy restaurant like this. It was buzzing with people, smart business crowd as well as some families. I had a reservation made but you don’t require a reservation
as you get seated quickly (there are lots of people coming in & out). I happened to casually talk to the owner – Tabrez(met him for the first time) who was greeting some customers and he was so kind to give complimentary tuscan fries & gelatos to my friend & I. Great customer service! The owner cares and he makes sure you walk out happy.
Go here for great dining experience, you will not regret! This restaurant is definitely on my list of top restaurants in Calgary. Will visit again.
Got invited by a couple friend to celebrate with them and i ordered shrimp in fresh tomato sauce pasta and i love it. First time i have finished my whole bowl of pasta. The tomato sauce just right not overpowering and the shrimp are fresh and juicy but pasta a bit soft. Will come back for sure.
We ordered two pasta dishes (pesto pasta and ossobucco pasta) and one kids pasta (butter pasta). Very generous portions (enough for seconds and leftovers) The dishes could have had a little bit more flavor but overall we were very happy with the quality and will be back!
I had some catered lunch from this place for an athletic event. We had prociutto piadini (wrap) and caprese paninis with arugula salad. Everything came on time, which is pretty critical for catering but I don't see very often. The caprese paninis were so tasty and the bread was so soft that i had a double helping. The prociutto piadinas were packed with the meat so it was very nourishing but had more arugula in it so the combo with the salad was bitter.
happened to drive by this little gem on an errand run, and stopped by for lunch. as said in another review, it really is best to grab a seat first. you're able to ensure that you have a place to sit after you grab your order, and you're able to look at their menu if there isn't a queue in front of the counter.
it's a pick up and eat style of dining, so self seating and manually going up to the counter to order. they'll give you a number (red for dine in, black for take out) that you put on your table, and they carry your food out for you. drinks are ordered at the end of the counter, and where you pay for all of your meal.
service is very friendly -- straight from the front counter all the way to the waiter/esses. food comes out very quickly, tastes good, and the prices are decent enough. the food is also arranged quite nicely!
Rapido!
Second visit for lunch July 3, 2015. We placed the order upon entry, toured the line, ordered drinks and paid. The food arrived within minutes of us having seated after payment at the till! The 'Pasta Promodoro' (penne $9) was a reasonable lunch time serving. The pasta was prepared to order, al dente and the sauce was flavourful. The 'Pizza Magherita' ($12) arrived hot out of the oven, with ample tasty tomato sauce, melted sliced mozzarella and topped with fresh, bright green basil leaves. The dough was sufficiently thin. The pizza slices was huge (cut into 4). Deliscious! Shared a 'Cesar' salad ($9) which was slightly over dressed, but had delicious bacon. All in all, the food was very good and service most efficient.
The price point is a little on the high side. Decor is modern. clean & chic. It can get very noisy.
I would return to try other menu items...and dessert!
This place was a 2 in 1 deal. Delicious food + express order style.
Beware this place can get busy and it is self seating, so i would recommend getting a table first then ordering. You line up and choose between pasta, salads, sandwiches and pizzas. Place your order and get a number and pay.
I ordered a pasta dish and it came out pretty fast.
Really tasty :) My friend got a salad and the other a pizza and they both enjoyed it very much.
I definitely will be going back
Excellent market style Italian food! I have been here a lot and have always had a good meal! Pasta is amazing and the prices cannot be beat! I love the ordering system! More restaurants should be like this! Definitely check this place out!
Fast and awesome food. I love the atomosphere here. It is very modern and clean. The food comes out about 5-10 minutes after you order and pay. The Pomodoro Pasta with Meatballs are awesome, but they would be even better with spaghetti pasta but they only offer penne and linguine. The Pollo al Pesto Pizza and the Ceasar Salad is good. They have nice cold beer and they have a really cool pop dispenser. I would definitely go back here and try other things on their menu and their gelatos.
Food was good. Was in a hurry, met a friend, shared a pizza, very thin crust which I love and the Ceasar Salad yum yum good... Will go back and try there Pasta etc.
Food not bad. It was almost like a cafeteria style type of ordering at first. We walked in, looked around and tried to figure out what to do next: wait to be seated, find a seat, order somewhere? We ordered a pizza & salad. It seemed they had a few specials as well.
Salad was great- although tomatoes were soggy. Pizza thin crust was done just right. Toppings were okay- not too much or too little. Kind of cut strange- into bigger slices. Food was not bad.
However, a bit over priced. They seem to have the famoso style of ordering at the till (except one has to pay upfront right away). There are 2 different tills for drinks/food and you can pay at either one...or if you end up at one with your food order...((stratches head)).
I did not use the tip option as I did not consider it true full form wait service to tip from the entire experience.
First visit. Quite good. Thumbs up.. A buddy of mine recommended this place so we decided to meet there for lunch. Really quite impressive. Very clean. Got there around 12:30PM and the place was almost full. We ordered our meal at the counter and then sat down. Our salads arrived very quickly. We both chose the Cavolo and were very pleased. My buddy had the Caprese Sandwich while I settled on the Polpette (Meatballs). Bread was extremely fresh which to me makes a good sandwich even better. Both of us were pleased with our selections. Look forward to going there again.
If you're in deerfoot meadows, Via Cibo is the place to check out. If you're not in deerfoot meadows, it's worth the drive. Went in with some coworkers and the impression as soon as you walk in is of a modern design style, authentic food and an energized vibe. When we went they were lined up, but I was amazed at how quickly our hot food came to us! The person taking our order walked us through their system, which we found intriguing and effective. You must try the osso bucco panino! Looking forward to trying more items on this menu. Well done, via cibo!
Really enjoyed it. The cafeteria style was a real positive for us with a younger child. Quick to get in, order, and sit down. The food did not take long to come out and we all enjoyed our food. Cavolo salad with steak was delicious and a great lower cal option. Service was adequate for the style of restaurant. Dinner for two plus a kid was $50.
My new favourite restaurant! I've been coming here since the opening and I have to say that the food and the professional service is by far one of the best that I have received in this city. Took my husband there and got him to try the steak al Italiano, he's now a believer in great Italian street food. Check this place out!
Sandwiches here are very good. Pizza is so so. Not as good as famoso but better than average. Haven't tried the pasta but it looked really good. Service was fairly fast too. All in all, it's a pretty good place to eat. Food and ingredients are fairly hight quality. I'd definitely recommend this place and I will certainly become a returning regular for forseeable future.
Good place to eat, very friendly staff, but they do need to update there hours online, drive wife and kids there after a long day and they were closed an hour earlier then posted. Very disappointing.

3rd visit and all three experiences were great. What I like most is the unique set up. The young staff carries themselves with class. Very bubbly and friendly. The food was fresh, healthy and surprisingly fast. I always seem to leave with a smile.
Only one complaint- I have trouble reading the smaller print on the overhead menu... And my vision is quite good... I think?
Not what I expected. I generally don't enjoy this type of restaurant; you pay up front (tip included), and once you're served you're almost always left to your own devices.
Our food arrived lightening fast, and it was delicious.
I still don't enjoy the mechanics of the restaurant, but I was happy with my meal. It is a very family-friendly place, so I felt a little bit like I had grabbed a seat near a McDonald's play room. It isn't my vibe of choice, but if you have young kids, it seems to be the place to go!
The serving model is a bit of a pain but the food was good and the prices reasonable. Friendly and pleasant place for a quick meal
So good!. First off, the atmosphere is amazing! ordered the steak panino, and for a guy that normally doesn't like arugula, it was absolutely outstanding!
The Tuscan fries needed less salt, but the sauce made them perfect. finished it off with 1 scoop of raspberry lime sorbet and coconut (dairy free) gelato.
All together it cost $58 for two. Exceeded my expectations!
Give this place a try :)
Visited Via Cibo today for the 1st time off of a recommendation from a coworker. Place was super busy so I was a bit surprised how fast the service was. We ordered a pizza and pasta plus a side of truffle fries plus 2 glasses of wine. Food was excellent and were ready for more wine but had to go back to work. Did grab a gelato on the way out though!! We will be back and next time try the piadinas that looked delish when the people beside us tried them. Welcome to the neighbourhood Via Cibo.
Went to Via Cibo deerfoot and loved it. This concept is ahead of its time for Canada. Give it a few years and the service style will be all over. Food is authentic and reasonably priced
We really liked it. Good menu, great value, speedy service, nice atmosphere. We really enjoyed our food. Great ingredients. My only criticism... The pasta wasn't hot. Please don't serve coldish food. But we will go back again, hopefully that was a one off. We enjoyed the meatballs, fries, salad.
Fantastic Restaurant! There are certainly some growing pains with a new restaurant being busier than they ever expected but it's new, fresh and overall awesome! food is exceptional for the price and it is fresh and sourced locally. Have been there for lunch and look forward to trying a evening out there too!
Worth Visiting. I visited Via Cibo during the afternoon of the second day of their grand opening and it was definetly worth experiencing! The food and atmosphere was unique and the food tasted superb! There were so many items to choose from; of course I chose the broccolini and sausage pasta which was a little spicy but tasted great! The only thing was I knew they were extremely busy as it was the second day they were open but I waited over an hour for my food to arrive; there were a few other people waiting for their food as well and I wasn't sure what was happening and no one else knew either but after posting on the company page on facebook they were in the midst of fixing the problem so that the next time I visit the service will be much faster. I give this place a 9/10 for overall experience ( food, atmosphere and customer service )
I stopped by today for a quick bite. Wow! HUSTLE - the only word I could describe the staff. I ordered the prosciutto arugula pizza. It was not quite like the one I had in New York.... Put pretty damn close! Really like the food and the concept and I will definately be back!
Molto bene!. I have been waiting for this ristorante to open and I am impressed! I went at lunch today and had the Osso Bucco Panino and the side Insalata Cesare! To say I inhaled is an understatement: the sandwich was so tasty, I couldn't eat it fast enough! I haven't eaten my salad at this point (portion sizes are HUGE and I'm full!) but I am sure it's going to be just as good. Granted, they were slammed and the service seemed slow. I ordered at 12:17p and had my takeaway order by 12:39p. Not too shabby! Thanks for an awesome first time experience. In the words of the Terminator: I'll be back!
Great Concept, Great Food.. I was able to sample this new concept restaurant as a VIP before it opened and I think it will be a big hit. I ask that those of you commenting on service wait until they have had a chance to actually get a feel for how busy it will be. To the person who was upset about the service....give them a break, they just opened yesterday. In my opinon the food is exceptional for the price and I love the fact that it is fresh and sourced locally. Looking forward to going back when they are in full swing.
OSSO BUCCO-AWSOME. Hurry in to this place while you can cause this spot is gonna be nutso. BROS. Hurry up and open some more. Great Eats!!

I was glad that we looked at the menu before hand, because you order right when you go in, much like fast food. Fast food this is definitely not though. We shared the Via Casalinga Pizza, and a side of Tuscan Fries. Everything was absolutely delicious, piping hot and fresh. It was more than enough food for the two of us. We perused the menu a bit more while we were waiting for our food to come, and they have many more options that we would like to try out. Overall, it was a very nice night out.
...I decided to order myself a nice cup of Latte which was not only presented beautifully, but it tasted really rich and creamy. It was quite perfect actually! Anything would have been perfect on a day like this, but this was beyond perfect! We started with a bowl of Chef’s Soup which was a chicken egg drop soup. It looked really greasy but it didn’t taste like it – even though it was! This soup was made with chicken, chicken broth, carrots and celery – of course with the egg drop. It was quite flavourful and quite different from any other kind of soup I’ve had before. As there was a bunch of us, we had 2 pizza’s ordered. The first pizza was their Margherita Pizza which was a vegetarian pizza with mozzarella, tomato and basil. It was a fine pizza wit
Had lunch with a good friend there recently! Everything was great— food was great,coffee was great, service was great and the vibe was great! Staff was polite and friendly! They stopped by our table several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Location is good, lots of parking, many shops and restaurants nearby! Tiramisu was top notch! Loved it!
Excellent pasta for quick dine in experience. Love their sausage & broccolini linguine. So good. Their French fries is too notch, perfect amount of crispy and soft inside! Excellent store!
It was quite a delight!
Great customer service experience with an authentic Italian feel... The food was nicely done and timely in its arrival as well.
The dessert, sinful delight🥰☺️, just as I like it😂!
Good price and good pasta and pizza . I love how open space tjere
Generally a big fan of the Chicken Parmigiana, but unfortunately what I had this time wasn't edible. After informing the server, they immediately prepared a new one and it was as good as typically. Great service.
went there for lunch today and the food was very good! as a couple we shared a spicy pasta and pizza, and that was definitely the way to go. the only negative was the dining room was DIRTY! -the tables, floors, windows and most noticeably the chairs need a serious scrubbing.
Ten out of ten, always amazing food, I've tried SO many items and I've never been disappointed! The service is great, quick enough to be "fast food" but always super fresh and hot! The carbonara and chicken Parm are definitely my two favorites!
