This is my favourite restaurant in Edmonton. Service and food are A plus. I've been here at least 20 times and I always leave impressed. The Butternut Ravioli is amazing and their salads are always fresh and delicious.

Bistecca Restaurant
This restaurant is one of our favourites. We regularly visit here and have come to the point where we just ask Chef Sonny Sung and his excellent staff to just "make " us something. Today both of us have had a week or so of intense work load and are totally bushed. When it came time to order from Debra our server, I just said I am "brain dead"'and couldn't make a decision if my life depended on it. Debra to the rescue, we had a series of ASSAGGINI or "little bites" brought to us that almost read our minds as to what we would like. The last serving was a small "off the menu" serving of beef short rib ravioli. An amazing light meal over an extended period of time that allowed us to relax, collect our thoughts and then share them with each other. This is the kind of dining we experienced daily in Europe and have tried to find at home. A wonderful meal, attentive servers and great kitchen that gave us a well deserved evening together. When in Edmonton you must try this fine little restaurant located at 23rd Ave and 111th Street.
We had dinner on a Sunday evening and it was delightful. Beautiful interior. Appetizers, steaks, and crepe dessert were all delish and expertly presented. We had an excellent red wine, at a slightly chilled temp. So nice. Staff were all helpful and friendly. Maitre d' was very experienced and professional. Well done! We will definitely go back.
I can honestly say this was the best steak I have ever had. Tender perfection. The food was excellent and ample; we especially liked being able to combine small samplers of starters "Assaggini" - little tastes. Another winner is the Beef Short Rib Ravioli. Our visit was especially enjoyable because, while there was light jazz music playing, we were not bombarded by kitchen noise or high ceiling "clatter" that seems to be the standard at newer, trend driven restaurants. The staff is well informed and very friendly and overall the restaurant is elegant yet relaxed.

>Came for supper here a few months ago. Never got around to reviewing it, But I see a few of the things I ate are no longer on the menu. >We were a bigger group, So to start with the place/menu is quite conducive to larger groups. The assaginni was perfect to pass around a few small plates and get everyone In the mood to eat along with some antipasti. Smoked salmon, Carpaccio, Calamari, Sausages, Prosciutto, Olives..... You get the idea. It was great. >Now that everyone was ready to eat, we ordered a healthy mix of everything they had to offer. Wild ragu gnocchi, Ribeye steak, Lamb shank, Duck, Bison cannelloni, The sorrentino pizza and 2 repeats. >I wont go over every dish but the star of the night was the Bison cannelloni. It was perfectly balanced and rich as it comes. Definitely not something I'd eat if I was on a diet, But what a plate of food! I would go back for this dish alone. The steak was done just as you would expect a steakhouse to prepare it. Very nice job there as well. The duck, Lamb shank and Ragu gnocchi were packed with flavor, Perfectly seasoned and left everyone fully satisfied. >The only criticisms I have on the night would be the duck portion was definitely on the small side, Likely 4oz of meat. For $30 I would've hoped for a bit more. The other nit pick I have was the pizza, Now don't get me wrong the crust was exactly how it should be. Slightly charred, Crunchy and just all around delicious. The toppings, I felt, took some of that away. Even though I know Italian pizza is supposed to be light and thin, I felt it was a little too sparse. Little more meat and cheese would have gone a long way. By no means were either of these dishes bad mind you.>The service was also on point, No criticisms at all. Food, Wine(lots of wine) and Anything else came out promptly, the staff were incredibly knowledgeable of the food and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for doing it right. It's becoming a rare thing these days.>Overall this place is great, I'd recommend this to anyone for a date night or even a special occasion as we did. It's not cheap, But you certainly get value here.
Visiting Edmonton for business, my collegues took me out to dinner at Bistecca and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I had the bison steak and though it was perfect. It always seems as if specialty meats are always better in Alberta than BC. Suprising the prices here are quite reasonable for what they serve. We also tried a number of appitizers and thought they were all great. Overall a great dinner and great place to visit if you are in Edmonton for a short visit.

Reservation for dinner on route to concert at Commonwealth Stadium.
Fairly impressed.
Solid menu.
Reasonable prices.
Great ambiance.
Service...well lets just say our server seemed...overwhelmed and perhaps a little confused.
Their " Little Tastes" appi. options entices an "I'd like one of everything" responce.
I settled on the Calabrese Sausage, and the Grilled Scallops. Both quite good. Sauce with scalops I found to be on the very spicey side.
One of my favorite things is thar they offer "half orders" of pasta. So naturally..I had to try two different pastas!
House-made Bison Cannelloni, rich and delicious.
Beef Short Rib Ravioli....AMAZING. Probably the most decadent ravioli I have ever had. I...personally...highly recommend this dish!
Between the wife and I, we enjoyed 3 "little tastes", 2 half orders if pasta, one dinner of Brazed Pork Belly (from additional, seasonal menu...delicious!), one glass of wine, and a Coconut white chocolate Creme Brule (which was decadent and savory). All for $120 before tip.
We will be back!

We went on a Tuesday evening, so the establishment wasn't overly busy. The staff were very attentive. We were seated immediately. Our server gave us an excellent rendition of the menu and the daily specials. Everything was done with the utmost courtesy and professionalism.
The timing of our server was spot on for giving ample time to enjoy our cocktails, appetizers, the main course and dessert.
Food was delicious; Pasta Main and the Pork Tenderloin were our Entree's at couldn't have been better!
The offering of Cheese and a glass of wine as an after dinner delight rather than a calorie and sugar packed dessert was a really great option (Despite it being a great option we still went for the calorie & sugar!)
2 Cocktails, 2 Appetizers, 2 Main Courses and 1 Dessert came to $98...not an unreasonable price at all!!
I have to say that I eat out a lot, and Bistecca reminded me of what it meant to eat in a place that has a LOT of experience in the restaurant industry and an establishment that I interpret to REALLY CARE about your dining experience. A real dining pleasure.
Nice atmosphere. Real table cloths. Steaks were great. Service was good. Only two baby potatoes - a little chincy for an expensive dinner. I also don't like the stacked on top presentation - Very 1992. Didn't like it then.
Don't like it now. Other elements of the presentation were minimal. They succeed in reminding me of the steak placers of my youth. Over all, better then average. Not as good as Chop. Not as expensive either.
I think I've found my steak "Go To" place. My wife & I visited for the first time, she had pizza & salad, which she said was good and I had the Flat Iron Steak. The service was excellent and if my steak was any indication of their other steaks, I think I've found my "go to" place for steak dinners!
Very welcoming, hospitable staff. We popped in for dinner on Saturday night, as pasta lovers we often frequent their downtown location but we’re in the area and noticed they’d recent opened a new location in South / Century Park. Upon arrival we were instantly greeted by friendly host who found us a table right away despite our lack of reservation. Our server was great, very friendly and hospitable. It turns out it was the last night of their traditional Garlic Festival.

Last couple of times Sorrentino's were okay and before I started do reviews. However this time I am impressed and its improvement.
The food here is good.
The appetizers we ordered was beet salad, flat bread and tomatoe sauce based mussels. The sauce in the mussels is good but you wish they give you more bread to mop up the sauce. It has a nice tangy flavour.
Penne Arrabiata is good as it has the nice spicy kick not overwhelming that overwhelms your tastebuds. Even the penne was cooked al dente with a bit of resistance. I forgot what the others ordered but I have provided pictures. However they are good.
Dessert was good too bad panna cotta was sold out.
The only negative I have to say is that beet salad is disappointing. I noticed there were a couple beets considering this is a beet salad I was expecting a bit more.
Service is excellent!! Our waitress is funny and attentive. She even gave a suggestion to start an email account for new born babies to show them when they get older.
I would come back again.
Came here before the Garth Brooks concert. Our meal was superb and the service was even better. All staff members were incredibly friendly and the owner was helping out where he could, chatting up tables and ensuring everyone was enjoying themselves. Will definitely return, thanks for a great meal!
Great service. Clean. Modern. On the fancy side. Great food. Fresh and tasty. Great cocktails. Expensive. But worth it for a good evening out. Good sized portions. You will not have room for dessert, which was also great! They also have a BYOWine (free corkage)..reminded me of my Montreal days!! Patio open as well. Seemed like they had a wood pizza oven going on (but we never tried the pizza).
Went there to night to celebrate 3 birthdays in my family and I’m just in awe with the wonderful service we received. The food was fantastic and exceeded expectations as well. Thank you to the staff, manager and kitchen for delivering a exceptional experience for my family!
Went there about a month and some ago for GARLIC FEST. The food was so good, but kinda pricey. We went there on a sunday night. I thought it was a nice restaurant so me and my date dressed up quite nice. We were sat on the main path through the restaurant, right next to the only other table in the place, a family with screaming babies.
We ordered garlic knots (yummmmm), and I had a seafood linguine (with garlic). Everything was very tasty, and our server was super nice. The whole vibe of the place was just weirdly dead though.
Walter was able to accommodate party of 12 . We had such a wonderful evening with delicious food . Our Waiter was fabulous the entire staff so friendly. Excellent service . We will be back .
