With an "Oh, Canada!" Theme for my dinner club we went to one of the top 100 restaurants in Canada. I was especially keen on going to this one as the chef, Daniel Costa, also has two other restaurants in the top 100.
Only five of us could attend dinner Club but that worked out perfectly because it is a small venue. It has three tables that could fit about 6 each and a long bar. There are no reservations so we tried to arrive upon opening in order to procure a table. The decor is dark within, literally and artistically, with few lights and the delightfully nightmarish Bosche wall. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the evening was perfect.
We started with some drinks, the ladies had the most refreshing and unique Bellini I've ever had...on the menu it calls it a Seasonal Bellini, and ours was pink lady apples if memory serves me correctly.
We wanted to each taste as much of Costa's dishes as we could so decided to share instead of ordering individual dinners.
From the Spuntini section of the menu we had a dish of green olives, as a nice amuse-bouche of sorts.
Also from the Spuntini, we ordered two of the specials, which was the much lauded egg yolk raviolo from the menu but with asparagus. It was incredible! Creamy and luscious but not too rich. What a start to our dinner.
Next we shared the fennel salad with pistachio and mint...which was simply perfection. I have a pretty sensitive tongue when it comes to acidic foods and generally I can only eat dressed salads in moderation. This, however, was so amazingly perfectly balanced I could have eaten the entire plate. Wow!
Last item from the Spuntini was the Fried Cotechino Sausage, with lentils, carrot gremolata and vin cotto. Again, an incredible dish. The homemade sausage had a crispy seared crust that added such a lovely salty bite to the lentils and sweet carrots.
Then we moved to the Salumi and Formaggi part of the menu, served with Grissini, warm housemade Focaccia and a sweet house made marmaletta and honey. We choose the Prosciutto tasting plate and the formaggie tasting plate. I wish I could remember which cheeses we had and which one was my favourite but there was no time for taking notes...just time to savour and enjoy and have fun!
For Dolci/ Dessert we had the Tuscan Amadei Chocolate Truffles, a lovely sweet slightly chilled delight.
I honestly have nothing negative to say about this place and the food we tried. Every dish was heavenly and this restaurant is well deserving of being included in the top restaurants in Canada!

Late Friday night dinner at Bar Bricco will be one of my most memorable dining experiences yet. Daniel Costa is a very familiar name if you’re into the food scene in Edmonton. Having now 3 very successful eateries under his belt, with ample amount of recognition and praise in the food industry; I knew going in how great dinner was going to be, and I was still blown away.
Serving cured meats and cheese imported straight from Italy, along with house made pasta - I came with an empty stomach and was ready to be spoiled with a great meal.
Nestled in between Corso 32 and Uccellino, right on Jasper Ave; walking distance from an impark 5 minutes away. Seeing as we arrived around 9:30 that night; We were pretty lucky to walk into free bar seats. They don’t take reservations and the dining room is very small- seating only 30 people max. The room dimly lit with a very intimate atmosphere.
Egg Yolk Raviolo ($15) 5/5 Pasta stuffed with cheese, sprinkled with more cheese adding with egg yolk inside that binds every bite together.. Could it get any better? Nope. Tried and True. Delicious.
Steak Tartare ($21) 5/5 My favorite of the night. Buttery beef on top of a crostini added with some arugula with some lemon squeezed over. The perfect bite. We shared every dish, but TBH.. I would have wanted this to myself.
Agnolotti ($16) 5/5 The sage butter is going to be your new favorite drug. Fresh pasta stuffed with cheese, where you dip the bites of pasta into the savory buttery- then roll the now moist pasta in the shaved parmigiano. SO MUCH FUN -so savory- so rich.
Mixed Tasting Plate ($30) 5/5 3 different meats with 3 different cheeses, breadsticks, house made bread and 2 dressings. Think of this as an advanced-classier adult lunchable. Fun to eat, great to share.
Aside from loving every single dish we ordered, service was great. They kept an eye on our glasses while being sure to clear our plates and immediately bring out the next course.
100% Recommend, will be back and I’m beyond excited to try the next 2 eateries on my next dinner out!

Owned and operated by Daniel Costa, a man whose Corso 32 has topped the list of Italian restaurants in Canada for years, Bar Bricco was added to an overpacked agenda thanks to strong praise from chefs and servers at Pigeonhole and Anju, respectively, the swanky Wine Bar on Jasper Avenue proving a perfect environment for some early evening snacks.
Rooted in Italian heritage, both that of its Chef and many of the Meats and Cheeses used to craft its plates, entrance to the long 30-seater any time after sunset sees diners immediately immersed in a bustling environment with music thumping, the two bartenders largely charged with taking orders and doling out wines by the glass as Sputini and some larger plates slowly trickle from a kitchen in back.
Built with a focus on sharing, the lighting subdued and capable of making everyone look a little more glamorous, it was on the notes of bold and citrusy that a glass of 2013 Alois Lageder Gewurztraminer was suggested, slow sips seeing it pair well with a starter of spicy Calabrian Sausage and sliced Anchovies on Bread with shaved Fennel, Red Onion and Parsley.
An oddly paced restaurant, plates coursed out with significant gaps even before the space really starts hopping, it was unavoidably eavesdropping on two Women discussing the complexities of dating while pursuing a career in Law that nearly thirty minutes passed before the arrival of plate two, the airy pudding of Eggs Moliterno served with grated Cheese and Black Pepper further embellished by Winter Truffles while simultaneously served naked Cheese Agnolotti were cleverly served ‘fondue-style’ with a sidecar of herbal Butter designed for dipping.
Impressed by the affordable Wine List and imported ingredients, but far more intrigued by items made in-house, it was after sizing up the menu at my subsequent dinner reservation that a plate of Housemade Porchetta was added, the room temperature meat served with Bread warm from the oven offering a perfect ratio of fat and protein with a hefty endowment of Rosemary and Garlic.
One of my favorite spots in the city. The quality and taste of their food is incredible. It's a bit pricey but worth it if you enjoy quality over quantity. Perfect spot to drink and share food with a small group. Nice location....almost had that big city hole in the wall type feel. I've tried quite a few different dishes and was never disappointed...worth every penny! Wine list is great too! Vinyl records playing.... great vibes. The only one negative is their bar stools...not comfy! But i would still rate them a 5! I'd recommend to try everything! But my top picks so far is the egg yolk raviolo and eggs moliterno...and their truffle honey....mmmmm
Love Bar Bricco. Another fantastic idea from Chef Daniel Costa. Reflects the brilliance of Corso32, yet is one of our neighborhood restaurants that I truly feel invites you at home. This evening we had our favorites - the egg ravioli and the fonduta agnolotti, AS WELL as the special onion ricotta baguette and meat balls - all amazing. What truly blew us away this evening was the brilliance of our sous-chef, Carl. We sat at the bar and he invited us to know each dish he was preparing and answered all of our questions about the restaurant philosophy. In fact, throughout conversations he has influence our upcoming trip to Italy and France! He made us feel like we were welcomed as friends at the restaurant, making our typical Friday date-night an exceptional experience. Thank you both Carl and Daniel!
First time here and it was excellent. Egg yolk raviolo, rye & speck and cotechino sausage, all looking and tasting exquisite. Top notch service, smart yet casual atmosphere. A great place to stop in after work for a glass of wine from their extensive list and some terrific nibbles.
Yum yum yum. Bar Bricco is amazing. Super fun to visit with friends and just hang out. You can just sit, enjoy, snack, and drink. Perfect.
Bar Bricco has a lovely selection of meat and cheese. I've been three different times and each time I've ordered the sample platter with 3 meats and 3 cheeses. I recommend this option if you're going with 2-3 people, and it ends up being a great price. They have delicious cocktails and an extensive wine menu. The prosciutto and truffle salami are my favourite.
What a nice little find in downtown! Little hard to get in and painful to find parking, but well worth to try. Somehow it gives intimacy even being fully packed. Very good wine selection (try Vietti Barbera if you love softer reds), kudos to their somm. And a decent menu of small plates and cold cuts. I will be back for sure.
When I don't feel like a dinner at Corso, Bar Bricco is always a great alternative. They have a good selection of wines. I really like the egg yolk ravioli and usually order a random selection of meats and cheeses. They don't take reservations but every time I have wandered in with friends the wait hasn't been too long. Sometimes I am able to grab a spot at the standing bar.
Just finished my experience here. Truly spectacular. My partner and I ordered the kale salad, the tonnarelli, and the single stuffed ravioli. Our expectations were already high walking in, yet, the first dish completely annihilated our expectations, and each succeeding dish continued to bring us closer and closer to heaven. Rich, decadent, succulent, yet soft, deep, and light.
Overall a delightful experience. I am a big fan of the Fonduta Agnolotti and the Raviolo. Although we enjoyed the meat and cheese plates they offer, my personal favourite was the ricotta. Service was good and attentive. Wine selection was extensive and would definitely come back and try the rest of the menu.
The food was incredible. Everything we ordered was so good! We ordered a few things to share, everything we ordered was great! I can't wait to go back to try more.
The drinks, food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful!
Absolutely fantastic! Each dish was perfectly seasoned.
I loved the cozy atmosphere and music.
I had the kale salad and pappardelle pasta.
The drinks and food were delicious. This pasta melted in your mouth I recommend everyone to try that, a different way to eat pasta with your hands take one agnoloti deep in the butter than after getting all the grana padano will be the best pasta have you ever tried
The delicious food made up for the bad attitude of the waitress. The plant-based appetizers were delicious, as were the raviolo and the agnolotti. Wine was passing, cocktails were much better. But really, our waitress had some serious attitude issues from the moment we entered the restaurant to when she overcharged us with items we hadn’t ordered. Thank God the food was exquisite!
