How and Where to be Italian
See All Lists
1. Cafe Amore Bistro
Five stars without a doubt. Cafe Amore Bistro is like a visit to Europe. People are eating supper at 9:30 in the evening and it feels like a big family reunion, even for first-timers. The menus hang on the walls and one of the owners, Cristo or Nick,…More »
2. Bueno Gelato
Bueno, bueno! I've been to Bueno Gelato a couple of times now and they have some flavours that I've never seen before, like green apple. So far I've tried aforementioned apple, lemon and vanilla bean and have been immensely satiated. It's smooth and…More »
3. Italian Bakery
It's an interesting location that, at first, seems very out of place in Chinatown. I am told, however, that this edifice predates Chinatown. It's one of Edmonton's oldest bakeries and is still family run. They have some pretty impressive breads aside…More »
4. Sorrentino's Bistro-Bar
I think if I could live on coffee and ice cream for a while, I would. By merest chance I wound up in Sorrentino's one afternoon, where I met numerous members of the Rago family - patriarch Carmelo and several of his sons. Since then, I've been back…More »
5. Italian Centre Shop
This is my favourite place to shop in Edmonton. Vintage charm, cheap produce, staggering deli and personable customer service. I was fortunate to have coffee with owner Theresa Spinelli the other day. Given the rising cost of groceries in general, I…More »
6. Battista's Calzones
A deft and fresh take on an Italian classic. Battista's presents four varieties of calzone, including meatball, vegetarian and spicy incarnations. Battista himself is a consummate cook and a great conversationalist, which lends his restaurant a…More »
7. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
My opinion of Famoso has changed and my review should reflect that. I've been back multiple times over the past month and must confess what a fun and positive experience I keep having. The service has improved so much since my last visit (on which my…More »

Perenially busy, and this bespeaks Famoso's popularity. Famoso reflects a growing trend of thin… Read more »
8. Saccomanno Bros
Personable service, vintage charm, decent selection of produce, pasta etc and lovely deli counter. I highly recommend trying the pizza, which I dare say is Edmonton's best kept pizza secret.
9. Corso 32
Brilliant, pared-down simplicity meets explosive creativity. Strengths include local meats, pairing wine with food, and sumptuous desserts that make up for elfin size with luxurious flavour and texture. Possibly the most exciting thing to happen to…More »
10. D'amore Italian Deli
Freakin' love this place. The best Italian sandwiches in the city, great coffee, homemade sweets and wonderful service. Quarters are a little cramped but no matter.
11. Danilo's Italian Cafe
Edmonton, AB T6E
(780) 455-1480
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Italian
A hidden gem in the northwest, Danilo's is smooth, suave and ever-brimming with Italian panache. The thin crust pizza are rather addicting, and rather than use North American flavours, Danilo sticks to Italian versions like Margherita and Caprese.…More »
12. Ragazzi Bistro Italiano
It's an offer you can't refuse. This is the original thin-crust pizza place in Edmonton and still one of the best. I've had many a pizza at Ragazzi and have yet to try some of their flavours. 'New York Spice,' 'The Sicilian' and 'The Godfather' must…More »
13. Da Capo Caffe
"Honey Pepper Spice" biscotti sounded so good in words. What a nasty surprise to discover that they contained whole black peppercorns. I'm not talking one or two. I'm talking dozens upon dozens. There were so many that the biscotti was basically…More »

Da Capo is another place that seems to inspire love or hate, depending on who you ask. I'm not a… Read more »
14. Leva Cappucino Bar
Leva is a university-area gem. Stunning leaf art top their frothy, bracing cappuccini. A robot's ransom of espresso machines line the back of Leva's trendy space, adding to its futuristic feel. The chairs are a little uncomfortable, but no matter.…More »
15. Tesoro Caffe Bar
Tesoro means "treasure" in Italian and is often used as a term of endearment. I'm not sure if this is the reason behind Tesoro's name, but it certainly is one of the better places to eat in the Oliver-MacEwan area. Points for bubbly water: Tesoro is…More »
