Had a great meal. Outstanding, pasta in homemade, the calamari is way better than expected in Calgary! Will definite recommend this place to any of my friends.
We celebrated two birthdays at this charming restaurant. I enjoyed the Combo La Viena meal very much. Annie spent a lot of time with us chatting and giving us some of the history of this restaurant. The service and food were great.
My friend took us here. He’s been going to La Viena since they were at their previous location and always enjoyed it. It was spectacular. The lobster bisque was amazing. I would go just for that, but everything else was stellar too. Cannot recommend highly enough. Will go back with more friends! Service was excellent too.
I love this place!
Pasta Tuesdays are unbelievable!
The French onion soup was delicious.
Will be back soon! Hoping to make it a regular with the sisters!
The decor is exactly what I imagine when I think of classic Italian. This place isn't fine dining. It's home cooking, Italian from the heart, which is way better!
One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Incredible flavor and the services is right up there!! We have never had any issues when eating at La Vienna. Such a treat to come here! I would come every day if I could!
La Viena is by far the best Italian restaurant in town! The food is consistently delicious and they offer great value for your money! Our favourites here are the calamari and the spaghetti and meatballs. I would definitely recommend trying it out! It will soon become one of your favourite restaurants.
Great atmosphere and absolutely amazing pasta dishes! Wonderful service as well. Italian dessert was also delicious and ended a lovely meal. Great experience! We will be back.
Eating in Italy is all about family gatherings, homestyle comfort food. It's definitely a gem where you will find great food for its value. What is more inviting than sitting at a table with your favorite people, relaxing with some wine and enjoying a freshly cooked italian dish?
Many of La Viena's pasta dishes reflect what you will see in Italy. The use of anchovies, fresh seafood, artichoke, wine, it's always satisfying.
positives: steamy hot food, fresh pastas, quick service, family dining style
negatives: a bit heavy on the sauces, the bread basket is nothing to brag about
Great appetizers: Deep fried gnocchi in a rose/tomato sauce (this dish is large enough to be a meal in itself), Calamari - light batter, large fresh pieces.
Went for dinner with some friends a couple of weeks ago. Everyone enjoyed their pasta, which was cooked perfectly. Will definitely go again!
Super Delicious, reasonable prices, fast good service. I have loved every dish I have had. Highly recommend. The menu is large so there are plenty of different things to try. I am just writing more now to reach the minimum limit.. but it is seriously good.
Love it here, the service is always great and the food is amazing for its price. I've had always fresh tasting pasta here, this is my go to place for pasta.
Yummy!. I had the Gnocchi Nona and really enjoyed it! ! I came in because I saw this show on TV and the pastas looked so good! The prices are really great and you still get a good portion of food, after sharing a couple of appetizers I ended up taking half my entree home. Waitress was very attentive and nice :)
I would come here again
This is our go to Italian restaurant for Italian authentic pasta! Every order from food to drinks are very delicious! Service is always on top! Very friendly waiter and waitress every time we visit. I will always come back to this place for amazing food and service! They have pasta specials for $12 which make it so affordable for such fine dining experience too! I love this place so much!
Very delicious! Alfredo and lasagna were both so tasty. I could have eaten two servings! The atmosphere was beautiful and had some lovely music playing. The only complaint would be that the free bread was very stale. Everyone needs to try this place.
Calamari that was light to eat and really good. The Spinach Fettuccine came with lightly cooked tomatoes and flavourful seafood that came with a rich but light white sauce. The hostess was so SWEET and our waitress ensured our meal was excellent!
This is my favorite place in the city to go for a nice and cozy dinner. The pasta is SO GOOD, especially the brie one. The owners and staff are so good to the customers and really care about your experience. The food is so flavourful and filling. The calamari with a little lemon juice is a 15/10 with the marinara, just a wonderful experience. You know the place is well cared for and loved. We recommend it to any friends who want something reliable, reasonable priced and tasty.
Was delicious and super authentic. The waitress went above and beyond, she was awesome to our kids as well. Thought I'd post a couple pictures seeing as the ones I saw on Google didn't give this place justice. Definitely recommended :)
Cozy & comfortable dining atmosphere with charm & character! It feels like a piece of Italy without leaving the country. Annie & the staff were very friendly, the service was excellent!! The pasta & sauce are always freshly made in house from scratch. The ingredients & quality are top notch. My man & son had the classic spaghetti w/ meatballs (regular size & kid size). I ordered their salad with chicken (well seasoned, crispy exterior w/ juicy & tender interior) from Annie's Specials Menu & made some substitutions/modifications, as their La Viena House Dressing (a perfect blend of spices) is the best! For dessert, the chocolate mousse is smooth & creamy, rich & decadent, with just the right amount of sweetness, my personal favourite. Their tiramisu is absolutely delicious! Both are made in house from scratch, I emphasize this as many restaurants have the same generic desserts that are ordered & shipped from what seems to be the same supplier (for example, the chocolate hazelnut pear) or just regular ice cream that can easily be picked up at any store. I can't speak for everyone but I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness & care of not having pasta from a box, sauce from a can, jar or factory or dessert from a popular chain supplier, as some restaurants do. If you're looking for REAL food with real ingredients & recipes, made freshly in house from scratch, then this is the place for you!
Warm atmosphere, excellent service and food. Ordered Fusilli Du Chef paired with a couples Stella's served in icy chilled mugs. That along with an order of Calamari before our main was a very satisfying, and fairly priced evening out.
Also I love their dinnerware, beautiful plates.
Kudos to the chef and our gentleman server.
Parking was good and our party was seated at the front away from the main restaurant and that suited us fine. Everyone enjoyed the Italian style food and large portions. Service was friendly and attentive. We will be back.
