Calgary Italian🇮🇹 Restaurant Review

I recently tried this Italian spot in the Mission district—half grocery store, half restaurant, and a local favorite known for its fresh ingredients. I have a weakness for squid ink seafood pasta 🤭, and I order it whenever available! While not as flavorful as Cardinale’s version, the seafood here is incredibly fresh. Definitely worth a try if you love seafood! 👍🏻 We also ordered: Wild boar ragù pasta Grilled lamb (highly recommended—crispy outside, tender inside) Roasted eggplant (also great) Ended with classic tiramisu—not overly sweet, which, as a Chinese person, is high praise for desserts lol. 📍 Mercato Mission 🅿️ Parking is tricky—circle around or avoid peak hours. ☎️ Limited seating, so book ahead. ⚠️ Open kitchen means your clothes might smell like food afterward. 😉 #ItalianCuisine #RestaurantRecs #MustTryInCalgary #CalgaryFoodie #CalgaryEats
