Calgary | Must-Try Authentic Italian Pasta! 🍝

📍 Restaurant: Chianti Café & Restaurant 📌 Address: 10816 444 Macleod Trl #444, Calgary, AB T2J 6A5 💰 Price: ~$30+ per person (before tip) A super authentic Italian pasta spot in South Calgary—packed even on weekends! 🍞 Complimentary bread served at every table (extra for $0.50 each). Paired it with Minestrone soup—classic combo! 🍝 What We Ordered: Carbonara (creamy style): Ultra-smooth, rich cheese sauce with crispy bacon—heavenly! Penne Salsiccia: Solid meaty tomato sauce (nothing groundbreaking). Seafood Pasta (Modiglione): Generous seafood, sauce oddly reminiscent of Hong Kong-style curry—unexpected but delicious! Veal Saltimbocca: Tender veal with roasted potatoes, drowned in savory European-style gravy. 💡 Heads-up: Pasta is cooked al dente (firm). If you prefer soft noodles, tell the server! 🍰 Dessert Deal: ANY dessert + 2 cappuccinos for just $16! Tiramisu: Fluffy, layered with cream, chocolate, and a caramelized crunch—surprisingly good! Cheesecake & cappuccinos: Standard but satisfying. Verdict: Loved it! Great flavors, cozy vibe. $30+ is fair for soup + pasta + dessert. #CalgaryEats #ItalianFood #PastaLover #CalgaryFoodie #HiddenGems #FoodieAdventure
