On my road trip up to Alberta from California, I was pleased to find Peppi's: a well-rated pizza…read morejoint in Invermere where my boyfriend and I were staying for the night. Yelp, I've actually never been so let down, so I'm going to make this review short and to the point. I'm a crusty crust, golden gooey cheese pizza kind of girl. Sadly, Peppi's did not deliver. My small Italian pizza could have definitely used more time in the oven to develop a crispier crust and more melty/browned cheese. The toppings were a sparse; on my small pizza cut into four slices, there was only one piece of sausage per slice. The dry spice rub half rib dinner was disappointing as well. The meat was dry and the only flavor my boyfriend and I could taste was akin to Tabasco sauce. My two stars are for the friendly service and pretty good draft beer.

Exactly what you'd expect from an attached hotel resto…read more Given how hard it is to get deliveries up to radium I cut them slack :) also, it appears one of the cooking staff didn't show the evening we came by and given that, the staff did admirably well. The pizza is thinner crust, good yeasty flavour and chew. Ask for Parmesan and it'll fill out the flavours on your pizza. Fish n chips are beer battered, with the same fries you'd find at Costco. Not gourmet/high end. But if you've just rolled in after 8hrs of driving with the hangries, it's good enough!

tldr; EVERYTHING…read moreABOUT THIS RESTAURANT IS CHEAP EXCEPT FOR THE PRICES. Servers know NOTHING about the menu and are all but absent from the front of house Chef can't season a meal to save his life ZERO attention to detail ------------------------ I can't begin to describe how awful this restaurant is, but let me try. I took my wife to Radium for our anniversary, and I asked the hotel concierge to make romantic dinner reservations for us. The package I bought also included a complimentary breakfast, so the idea was to eat at this establishment twice (BIG mistake). When we got to the restaurant, there was no servers on the floor, and no hostess at the front desk. They had been open all day, and the place was empty.. I suppose this should have been our first hint. We seated ourselves, and when the server finally arrived, she brought us waters in the ancient plastic cups. This would probably be OK if we were at Smitty's, but we were not, we were supposedly eating "Fine Italian Cuisine". Every time the server came to the table (drinks, orders, etc), we inevitably had questions about the meals... she had NO answers, and had to ask the chef about everything. Also, many items that we wanted to eat (Items that WERE on the menu), were unavailable, and we had to make alternate decisions (this should have been our second hint). When the complementary bread arrived, we were given re-heated rolls and plastic single-use butter containers instead of a nice whipped butter dish. With the bread, we ordered some calamari, and when it arrived, it was terribly undercooked and quite disgusting. Dinner arrives and out comes my wife's $32, 8oz, medium rare steak... it was well done, completely unseasoned, and dry as chalk. WHO PAYS $32 FOR CHALK??? My chicken was average, I ate it and paid for it, but we sent the steak back. We went back the next morning for breakfast, simply because I had the voucher and it was free... well not quite free. The concierge told me that it was a complementary breakfast, but gave me a $25 voucher... this voucher will NEVER cover a breakfast for two when you're charging $3 for a coffee and an average of $10 / plate. ANYWAYS, against my better judgement we went for breakfast, and again, everything my wife asked for was UNAVAILABLE... at this point she was DONE. No more eating, just get out of her face. I chose to try the soft basted eggs, toast, hash browns, and bacon. The hash browns were completely unseasoned (just like the steak from the night before), and the eggs were like slime... I actually gagged a little when I saw them. Now I have NEVER sent a meal back in a restaurant, so sending my wife's steak one night and my eggs the next morning was very out of the ordinary for me. In conclusion, this is the last restaurant on the planet that I would recommend you eat at. In fact, our server from the first night even suggested that we eat elsewhere...

We loved the variety of pasta shapes and flavors, and you can watch them make it in house too :) My favorite pasta was the truffle agnolotti and the tomato-based rigatoni with just a hint of spice. The agnolotti was unique and tasty; the cheese filling inside was so creamy, smooth, and thick without being pasty. And the perfectly sized rigatoni was simple but creamy and flavored just right (wished there was some meat though!). The pastas were cooked nicely, but I prefer just a smidge more al dente. Happy to have vegetable options too! The asparagus and beets were yummy and a little different (yellow beets with a goat cheese sauce instead of crumbled, almonds and burrata on the asparagus), and the salads were full of flavor without dousing them in dressing. Overall, a nicely presented and delicious meal for everyone! Our waiter, Dylan, was charming and friendly. He skillfully cleared our table's stacks of plates in one go with ease and kept our water glasses full (thank you!). They were busy for dinner-- definitely make a reservation during your stay in Banff!

Margherita Pizza Added pork sausage (guanciale) and in hindsight, a grave error because it made the middle too soggy and the intensity of the guanciale overwhelmed the more subtle basil and red sauce flavors. I also wasn't impressed by the dough. I mean good, not great. Tuna crudo Salty and tangy. A distinct exercise in contrast to the rest of the menu. Nice presentation. Caesar Salad Pangrattato, reggiano, anchovy, pork guanciale. In my opinion, the star of the show. Looks incredible and savory but the dressing is actually on the light side. The Parmesan crisps and anchovy strips take this to another level. Salami & Artichoke Pizza Too salty, and not enough artichoke representation. Fun lively vibe and good selection of local drinks. I would try a different pizza next time. That's all.

At first I thought the food portions were small but once you start enjoying each entree, you realize they are just the right size! The simple Caesar salad was amazing.

For our main entrees we stuck with seafood - cioppino and rockfish. Both amazing but enjoyed the cioppino slightly more. If we weren't so full from the appetizers would have wanted to try the lobster carbonara. Can't wait to come here again on our visit back to Banff. The staff at the Fairmont Banff Springs are always so attentive and that goes the same at Costello Italiana. The food came out timely and it was such a lovely dinner.

That a still partially frozen dessert (that's supposed to be at least warm) would be served is enough for me to not go back. In addition, the cake was dry and not flavorful. Will try somewhere else next time we're in Golden.
