We came here on a whim to find a nice place to eat as we were on our way to Lake Louise. We walked around town to find a place to eat and my wife loves Italian, so we tried to walk in at about 6pm. Luckily for us, there was an open seat (reservation are highly recommended.. it was packed). We were greeted by the waiter who gave us the choice of sparkling or still water. Fancy schmancy. We got the still house water. The place was packed, full, and a bit loud, but also romantic given the atmosphere and the views. Good place to take a date, but not a good place if you wanted a private booth/moment. I ordered the seafood linguine, and my wife ordered the spicy rigatoni alla vodka. We also ordered the little gem caesar to share, and she also go the coffee martini for her drink. I got soda. The caesar came out and it was one of the best caesars I had. It was presented by having two baby heads of romaine lettuce covered with caesar dressing. Very tasty and creamy. Very very good! Next time, I am going to order one for just myself! Only eating one baby romaine head left me wanting more! After the salad, the pastas came out and the seafood linguine was remarkable! Presented as a bundle of linguini with seafood on the sides, all covered in white wine/clam sauce. One of THE BEST seafood linguines I have ever tried! My wife's spicy rigatoni was spicy and had a kick (I am Thai so take that for what it's worth). My wife thought it was a bit too spicy for her, but overall the dish was meh. Reminds me of the pasta alla vodka at Cheesecake Factory, but without the sausage. I do believe if there was an option to add sausage, the dish would've been 100x better. The dish just got bland the more you ate it. And because of this, I ended up eating the rigatoni, and my wife ate the linguini lol. Just kidding.. kinda. We shared our plates :) I highly recommend this place. The rigatoni was nothing special, but everything else was spectacular. We were even contemplating going back there on our drive home, but it opened at 4pm that day, and that was too late on our schedule to wait. Nevertheless, we'll be back again!

Hands down the best food in Canmore. Honestly, I don't know how this place isn't rated #1. I tried…read moreseveral of the other top-rated spots during my week-long stay, and every time I did, I wished I had just eaten here instead. Everything is executed incredibly well: flavorful food, nice plating, great ambiance, and good service. I had the poutine (the best I've had), the pulled pork burger, the steak, plus the tiramisu, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Everything was spectacular. My only suggestion? Add dumplings to the menu, because I know you'd do them exceptionally well. Every time I was here, it felt like the place to be. Don't waste your time anywhere else.

To be honest, when we got out of the car and I saw that the restaurant was located inside a hotel,…read moreI didn't think it would be a great meal. Boy, was I sooo wrong! This was hands down, my favorite meal of my trip. The staff was welcoming off the bat. We had a large party but was seated relatively quick. We started off our meal with the Chef's Signature Mussels and Pulled Pork Poutine. I liked the gravy in the poutine. The mussels were bathed in a sauce. Do dip your bread in it and go wild! My son normally doesn't like seafood but he couldn't stop eating the mussels. They have weekly specials on their website. Definitely check it out before you make a visit over! We went on Thursday and it was pasta night specials for $20. We tried the Clam Linguine, Carbonara, and Linguini Bolognese. The Clam Linguine was the lightest of the pastas. There was a good amount of clams. The Carbonara was extremely rich and probably the least favorite of the three. I thoroughly enjoyed the Linguini Bolognese. The pasta was cooked al dente and the flavors were so deep and comforting. The Braised Alberta Pork Ribs in a Root Beer Glaze was tasty too. You can really taste the root beer flavor so if that's not your thing, you should skip this dish. My son kept raving about this meal for the rest of our trip! I can't wait to come back to see more of Canada and of course to have another delicious meal here.

She also used her bare hands to slide off whole pizza from right to left inside takeout box. She wiped her hands on a clean napkin that she grabbed from the bar. Then she walked in the back. 2) Another male Caucasian employee brought out our pizzas. We immediately noticed that three of Carnivora pizza crust edges were burnt. I asked my husband if he would like to return the burnt pizza. He declined, extremely hungry from hiking and chose not to return it. Unburnt pizzas of Carnivora and pepperoni tasted ok. Not a first great impression. 3) A different Caucasian male employee used his bare hands to layer various toppings on a pizza that had to be placed in the oven. He wiped his hands on his black shirt. He walked in the back, came back out holding a package, opened it, stuck his right hand in it to remove and add some greens onto another pizza that had to go in the oven. Thankfully, not our order. Customer service was ok. Our server asked us if we need cutlery and how is our pizzas tasting. Wasn't busy.

You also get a wholesome feel of what local life is about. If this type of experience is what you're looking for, "The Graze" should be your #1 stop. I arrived at Graze before noon so I imagined it would be rather slow. Turns out this place was packed! (Literally every table was taken... woah!) I was greeted at the door by Logan and because it was just me. He asked for my preference first and then sat me at the bar. Loved that! It's one of the first places open early morning in Canmore that serves both drinks and a DAMN good breakfast! So, tbh if you are a group of 2+ and you want a good seat I'd suggest getting here before 10am. I suggest asking for Martha as a server. She's phenomenal. The service all around is 100%. Five stars without a doubt!!!

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. The shrimp aglio e olio appetizer had so many large prawns we couldn't finish. We also enjoyed the crispy calamari with our children as well. 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. All the food was prepared with such details. The ingredients were so fresh. Great dinner!

Even though there was only one other table, the food took a little while to come out--but the pizza was absolutely worth the wait! The crust was perfectly crispy and the flavor was incredible, even the next day. I'm usually not a fan of wings--most places have good sauce but the meat itself is bland. These wings were different! The flavor went all the way through, and I honestly don't think I've ever eaten this many wings in my life. Definitely recommend trying them if you come here! The only downside was the water--it had a strange taste, so we ended up buying bottled water from a nearby store instead.

The restaurant had a chill vibe and comfortable booth, the service was great, and the food was delicious. The star of our meal was the tiki pizza. The theme of this pizza is comparable to any Hawaiian pizza (ham and pineapple), but this pizza just seemed to hit the perfect balance between approachable, satisfying, and elevated (due to the jalapeño oil). The meatballs were tasty and comforting. The sauce was good and served as a perfect dipping sauce for the pizza and garlic bread. I'm not big on beet salads, but I enjoyed this one. The unexpected star of the salad was the whipped feta. It was just a wonderful mix of salty, rich and airy. 5/5 will definitely return next time I visit Banff!
