    I recently had a family dinner at Villa Firenze. The food, ambience and service were all excellent. It is an evening and you are certainly not rushed at all. Not the place however if you are in a hurry. The only complaint from our group was that the tiger prawns in the linguine gamberi were more like medium sized shrimp and only a few of them in the dish.

    Best Italian I've been to in Calgary. Service was perfect, Had the privilege to have the owner help us, and she was awesome. As well as the other staff we encountered. Price good for what you are getting, building is very nice. The ingredients were so fresh. You can tell that it's all handmade and that a lot of effort and care has gone into that, you can taste it in the food. Best Caesar salad I have ever had. Found out dressing is handmade by the Owner daily. My absolute new favorite Italian place in Calgary no question.

    Prices have gone up, quality has gone down. Compared to our last visit, food was mediocre and overpriced. Dessert was the best part. And per the manager, we were charged for pop refills (served in highball glasses, mostly ice) so we were charged $19 for the equivalent of 2 cans. We will not return.

    I had very high expectations but was really disappointed. It was just very ok. Nothing was terrible but nothing was good. Very very average flavor and our whole group came out quite unsatisfied. I definitely would not go back. Gentleman who greeted us was very nice and server was kind. Ambience was good and wine was good. But unfortunately food needs a huge improvement.

    They were very short staffed due to illnesses and had only 2 servers for the entire restaurant. They went above and beyond service wise. So friendly and helpful and didn’t miss a beat ! Excellent food and portions healthy enough hubby and I had to box some up !! Will go back over and over again !

    A busy day as Valentine's day so a bit noisier though service and food were very good. My first time at this location and would go back again. Service was always there with water, and filling wine, and meal came out in good quite quickly. No complaints....other than parking was a bit tight though like I mentioned , a busy day.

    We’ve been regulars here but our last visit is going to be our last. My wife’s Veal Cannelloni had practically NO VEAL (probably less that 50 cents worth) and whatever they diluted it with was disgusting. She barely ate half of it. We did bring it up to the waitress’s and the owner’s attention and they just shrugged it off. Not even an apology or anything. We still ended up paying the full $29 price. Definitely disappointed with the attitude. I guess they just don’t care anymore. Judging from all the other recent reviews, they’re just coasting on their past reputation. Stay away.

    The food was absolutely delicious! At our table we shared the mushroom and a Caesar salad. Our main dishes were veal and sea bass. The flavours were amazing, expertly prepared and steaming hot. We rounded the meal off with amazing tiramisu. This restaurant consistently provides a special occasion, even on a normal Wednesday evening. Business dinner, family meal or date night, always a treat!

    The food is absolutely amazing! Truly the best Italian place in the city (that I've ever been to actually). We have been going for years and they never disappoint. We always get the amazing mushroom appetizer (1 each!). Fresh baked focaccia bread for left over sauce dipping! Freshly made pasta in house. What more could you ask for? I recommend to all my friends and family.

    Celebrating a 55th birthday! I returned to this restaurant after previously being treated to a birthday dinner here which impressed me very much. We ere not disappointed as the food, wine and ambience was just as I remembered it to be. The young lady who was our server was amazing, friendly, fun and very attentive. We were not rushed through our meal and the room was warm and cozy. Thank you for the great time!
