Main dishes range from $16.75 to $29.50. - Spicy tomato tonkotsu tsukemen ($18.95) - generous 1.5 noodle serving. Good bite, tasty broth - Spicy "wagyu bolognese" miso ($23.25) - touch of heat. Broth was rich, leaning on the heavier side - Duck "nanban" soup ($28.50) - gnocchi were okay. Duck leg was excellent. Broth was light, citrusy and the yuzu kosho added a nice kick

This resto screamed authentic from the wood burning over in an open concept kitchen where you can even sit by the bar and observe the chefs cool up pizza's and food in front of you, it's quite an experience ! We sat down ordered 2 bottles of Prosecco for our table of 4. Unfortunately, they didn't have orange juice .. in order to make a mimosa's quite a bummer. Service: Quick and easy, waitress was very nice to us .. perhaps I wished she took more time explaining their menu.. Food: Charging money because you have a gluten allergy is absolutely BONKERS !!!! The bread itself came automatically for our table already ready.. however one of my friends has celiac and they charged an extra 15$? For Gluten free crackers that didn't taste that good!! The Bistecca was the highlight of the night A huge 25 oz tripple A (small size) bone in ribsteak was big enough to feed all 4 of us , cale with delicious shiitake mushrooms (funghi) Absolutely delicious loved it!! The burrata was alright, I've had better.. wish it was dressed in a different dressing. The salad was ok.. nothing really special. The eggplant was a lil undercooked... very cold and harder on the bite.. shouldn't be this hard to eat an eggplant lol Overall, the service could be better, the food was ok could be way better .. however steak was absolutely fantastic definitely the game changer.. maybe I'll be back again when it is less busy and that day was just a one off .. Cheers

The food was outstanding. Had a nice 2019 Chianti that was a perfect pairing for the entire meal…read more The Caprese with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella starter was so delicious. The special pasta with tiger prawns was light and cooked perfectly. We shared the roasted lamb as a main dish. We also had the eggplant as our veggie side which was amazing with soft, smooth and sublime seasoning. Ended the meal with tiramisu and carrot cake. Our server Fabio was fabulous both attentive and friendly. Ambiance was very clean and comfortable with large group high top tables and large bar around the chef's open kitchen. I loved this first experience at Mercato Mission and look forward to a future visit when we return to Calgary.

I haven't even finished my tiramisu and I'm ready to leave this five star review…read more We came in expecting to do takeout. We stayed and we are so glad we did. Hailley has the brightest, happiest personality, and took such good care of us beginning to end. Her recommendations of the Frangelico Chicken with side house penne, amazing Caesar salad, and the very best homemade tiramisu ever are worthy of beyond five stars. The teamwork evident on this busy night speaks to their excellent management and what a true Italian family restaurant should be. Everyone in the restaurant is happy and celebrating something or watching USA the Belgium World Cup. When you are in Calgary, definitely come by Garden of Italy. You will not be disappointed.

So we were in a pasta mood and ordered the lasagna and the cannelloni. Sad news for the cannelloni: we felt they were flavorful, but too dry inside. Cannot recommend. The lasagna was very tasty, but for my liking it had very little cheese. We did eat all the portion though ;) it was flavorful. Italian cuisine varies from region to region, we were expecting a plate covered in bechamel for the cannelloni and there was none. So it did not meet expectations... but the pasta was good, home made, thin, and the sauces were flavorful... so a solid 3 stars for good quality. I do have to say that our waiter approached us to ask if all was to our liking, and only at the end did I disclose our disappointment... I didn't know what they could do to make it better...and we were so hungry we had already eaten half anyways... well in this they excelled as they comped our cannelloni and gave us a very good tiramisu to top it off! Definitely 5 star customer service! This is a local family owned restaurant that prides itself in having happy customers, and we are just passing by... nonetheless they really tried, and succeeded, in having us leave with a happy face. And that gives them a solid 4 star overall! Enjoy.

This was my second time going to Pasquales. Went for lunch and ordered:…read moreFrench Onion Soup Caesar Salad Bruschetta The bruschetta was great. Big chunks of bread covered in bruschetta. Really satisfying. French onion soup was the reason we returned (we don't live in Calgary). As good as I remember - broth is perfect, good amount of bread in the bowl, toasted cheese on top. Highly recommend. Caesar salad was meh. Lettuce/dressing tasted really watery. Skip it if you have high caesar salad expectations. **Edit to add pictures.

I didn't appreciate the server taking advantage of my wife not knowing any better, but at least he reversed the charge for the side, that was not included in the meal price. ****** NOT RECOMMENDED *******
