Warmly welcomed and given the best patio table. Our server Joan was tremendously helpful with cocktail, wine and food choices, all which were excellent. Best of all this restaurant believes in relaxed dining without giving a time limit.

Glen the waiter was very helpful and his service was very good. The price of the food was ridiculous, a small piece of lobster in a mush of pea’s corn and cheese. I thought I was eating pablum. One good point the wine was priced the same as other dining establishments we have enjoyed. We were sat in a dark corner and I faced a wall with a mirror for the entire meal. $ 190.00 was money not well spent. Doubt we will return.

The most disappointed we have ever been in a restaurant. I don’t mind paying good money for good food and wine but, our food was bland and our wine was not much better then apothic for $77 (extremely warm). I can honestly say the Olive Garden would have been much better and that’s not saying much! Save yourself $200 and try somewhere else!

Fun, somewhat “old school” atmosphere. Probably hasn’t changed much in many years. Food is quite good. Service last night started off well, but then we didn’t see our server for quite a while. (We we’re in no rush but we wanted to order more wine). We asked who we believe runs or owns the restaurant as he walked by, service picked up significantly after that. Good food, good value, we will be back. If the weather allows, we hope to try the patio, fingers crossed!

It was an extremely busy night. So we felt service was a little slow. We waited a while before anyone asked if we wanted a drink. Other than that everything was fantastic. We are not complaining about the service just felt you should know. In our opinion we are just thrilled to see you are busy again after the pandemic. Our fave restaurant in town, welcome back to normal life. Thank you for adding bread pudding for free. You are a great restaurant. A huge YES to letting everyone know you are there.

The Caesar salad was a sizeable portion that can feed three or four. The surf and turf special was delicious. My wife enjoyed the production for the fettuccine and the "wheel of cheese". Overall a terrific experience and will be visiting again soon!

Went here Wednesday, June 22, 2022 for an early birthday dinner with my fiancé and his parents. It was mine and my fiancé second time there and their first time there. We all agreed the overall ambiance was very romantic quiet and nice. The food is a little bit pricey but you get what you pay for. The service was friendly and very knowledgeable. The drinks were very nice as well. Overall we had a very delightful time and it is a great place for a romantic feel as well special occasions. My only personal downside was in between each course was a little bit of a longer wait time in normal but overall we were very satisfied.

If you love Italian, or just amazing food this is the place to go. We have been here a few times and we leave full and never disappointed. Our waiter was Glen and he went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect, and our table was happy. We were celebrating my daughters graduation from University, Glen came out of the back with a dessert for her and made her feel extra special. Won’t be the last time I come to eat at Violino’s.

I have been here lots but this time seemed a bit worse. We had our bottle of sparkling water spilled on the table and us. We were not told the specials for the evening and they screwed up both our 50$ steaks. Which they replaced just the meat for 1 of them and had no manager come over and talk to us to apologize or anything and didn't offer us any compensation for the mishap.

Dinner started off with an oil and vinegar bread dip. The bread that was served was quite hard and stale. We ordered a lobster artichoke dip as a starter and it had no lobster in it. The mojitos we ordered were wildly expensive 34 dollars for two, i ordered chicken fettuccine and it was quite bland very under salted and the chicken was dry. We sat on the patio on a warm day 21 degrees with no breeze and they had their large patio heater on. It was very hot and uncomfortable. Other patrons asked one of the servers to please turn it off and they were told no. The servers were not overly friendly. Over all a large let down and a poor value. We will not be giving this place a second chance and for that reason would not recommend

Thanks so much for a wonderful dining experience. Our server is the best and the food and atmosphere is outstanding. Our server, so sorry her name escapes me (Regina, from Romania??) is so super friendly. Can't wait to see you again and try the tableside fettuccini! Have a great trip to Romania and will book again with Violino in September once our family is back to Edmonton. Rick

This was a most relaxing, tasty, well-served meal. Our waitress was well-informed about which menu items I could order (to deal with my health issues), and presentation of the delicious meal was excellent. The calm atmosphere made for a delightful dining experience. After several years of COVID isolation, this dining adventure was a perfect outing! The spacing between tables was perfect. Such a delight to be in such a welcoming place!

The space was tight though ambience is cozy. We ordered a seafood platter and a couple of glasses of wine. The seafood was ok, not spectacular, only have 2 scallops and 2 prawns plus 2 deep fried crab cakes and deep fried calamari. The plate was $48. A glass of Pinot Grigio was $14.95.
