    a pizza and a box of mini pizzas
    Anna H.

    The Italian Centre is not a new discovery but I've been holding out on trying the cafe side of the market as I'm not really a fan of the traditional crust. Well, when the weather beamed to be a sunny and "let's hang out on your barely used deck" kind of day; I went to pick up some desserts and made eye contact with the oven. Lo and behold; my encounter with Spinelli. As crowded as you'd expect the space to be since looking in you don't deem the whole shopping centre to be all that roomy, I was pleasantly surprised with how well lit the space was and how they managed to have so many tables available. The cafe side is attached to the baked goods sharing the same glassed display. Walking towards the counter you'll find pre made sandwiches and panini's where you can order and get reheated. There were three separate menu's scattered around the counter. Pizza menu, cafe menu and a specials menu. I only decided on ordering a pizza this visit, service was quick and friendly. The wait for the pizza took around 15 minutes. They do make each pizza per order though! Prosciutto Arugula - ($15) - - One of their white pizza's, decorated with prosciutto, bocconcini, arugula, and cherry tomatoes; Finished with olive oil and a balsamic glaze. All ingredients tasted incredibly fresh and we never bit into one tomato that wasn't sweet and juicy, granted not a lot of pizzerias are in the same vicinity to a grocery store. Portion size was huge. Especially for $15. Uhm yes please. Verdict. Pizza wise, I like it better than Famoso's. Would I be craving this specifically anytime soon? Doubt it.

    I've frequented the Italian Centre many times but have never ate at their cafe, Spinelli's Bar Italia. Well, my friends wanted to check out the west end location, which is the only Spinelli's that offers pizza (Little Italy and south side location do not). The café is located to the right of the grocery store but there are a few tables outside if you want to enjoy the sunshine. Order at the counter and wait for the food to be brought to your table. Very basic, cafeteria style but the place was reasonably busy for a late Monday afternoon. Pretty smart of the Italian Centre to open a café in their stores. All the ingredients are right there for them to use! - Prosciutto arugula ($14.00) - prosciutto, arugula, baby tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Generous portions of thinly sliced, fresh prosciutto (that wasn't too salty) with a tangy, sweet balsamic vinegar drizzled over top. I'm pretty sure arugula and prosciutto are just meant to be. Best pizza combo. We had some difficulties separating the slices as the prosciutto was in such long strip but it's okay, we figured it out. - Capricciosa ($12.00) - prosciutto and artichokes. We actually ordered the calabrese pizza but the lady working the counter inputted our order wrong. The capricciosa was more mild but had a slight sourness from the artichokes. Both pizzas were thin crust style with a light crunch to them. They felt quite light and healthy. Overall, we were pretty happy with our pizza orders and I would definitely come back to try a few more things. Or next time, I'll make sure to come Friday to grab some of their fresh pizza dough to make at home. Definitely a solid spot in town to grab pizza.

The highlight though was the side cucumber salad. The cucumbers were lightly pickled and delicious. My partner ordered the quiche. She said that it was good but not very filling for the price. In my first review I only gave them 3 stars because the coffee was not hot. I drink it black so people who add milk and or sugar would definitely notice the temperature. This time the temperature was at the low side of normal so it went down quickly. Here's the thing. The server noticed my cup was empty and asked it I would like a second cup. She said it's free with meals (drip coffee). I was impressed because only a few places offer that important second cup. Surprisingly the second cup of coffee was served at just the right temperature. I really appreciated the easy listening music that was not turned way up like so many places do these days. The ambiant sound was pleasant and it was easy to have a conversation. This is a very relaxing place to hang out. I can now give four stars and can easily recommend Awn.

They serve breakfast, lunch, and have a few selections of hot/cold drinks. The menu is pretty small. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (the only one on the menu) which was almost $15. It was just the sandwich alone and it did not come with any sides. I went home and added my own sides. I ordered mine to go and it came in a tiny container. The sandwich was pretty good. It had a hearty/organic taste to it. Unfortunately because I ordered it to go, the egg yolk ran in the box making the sandwich soggy and messy. If I had known that I would've just ordered something else or came back when I had more time to sit in the cafe to enjoy it. Although enjoyable, the sandwich was a little small for the price and with no sides it's not something I'm itching to order again. I'd probably stop by for a drink though. The girls working the counter were very nice. There were a few tables and a bar by the window where you could sit.

When I followed up for the remaining payment that was owed, the owner not only refused to pay but spoke to me in an extremely rude and vulgar manner. The level of unprofessionalism was shocking.

This is fact was not the case. the puppies where put in a very small pen and you would only get to visit them for not even 5 mins. The pen hardly big enough to fit all 3 puppies was also saturated with pee of which I had to step on to see the puppies. The selection of pottery was very limited and all started at a super high price point. it would have been nice to have some more affordable options. To top it off I wanted to pay and a staff memeber was asking for my personal information half way across the store. I had to ask them to come closer so my information would not be disclosed to those around me. I'm happy the cost of the event is going to help the shelter but this could have been better executed.

Located on the west side and there was quite a bit of parking available. But it was crowded in the cafe and even the playhouse was quite busy. They said they limit the number of kids in the space and you have to pre-book your 60 minute time slot. 60 minutes flew by! And it felt like we didn't get quite enough time to explore and really appreciate all the little houses and details. But that must be the allure of going again! Our babies favourite activities at the playhouses were the slide and the little play restaurant. The slide was busy and tight quartered. But the little stairs and crash section at the bottom were well placed. The play restaurant was good great, they had all the condiments and so many cute plastic food items for a variety of kids to play with. I recall one kid yelling out 'Ice Cream, Ice Cream'. So fun! There was also costumes, a colouring station, suction building blocks, a wooden play body/operation table. The baby area also looked nice, cozy and with some great stimulating toys. It's a bit pricey and it's too bad it's only a 60 minute booking but in February they had a 1/2 price deal so for just under $5 I felt like that wasn't too bad to check it out. If you do get to check out the cafe I would recommend their signature blue Butterfly Pea latte- it was super sweet and creamy and delightful.

Cute little place in a residential neighbourhood, all-vegan, run by a friendly woman. I phoned in our order (curry tofu wrap and tofu scramble wrap) and came to pick it up half an hour later -- the woman sure was persistent over the phone about upselling me add-ons to our order. ;-) When we arrived, the wraps were ready, and we got some spanikopitas and coffees for the road. Both our wraps were very tasty and certainly filling. When it came time for our afternoon snacks, the spanikopitas turned out to be amazing. I never really liked spanikopitas before I went vegan, but this vegan rendition was amazing -- the tofu/spinach filling was delicious, the pastry was delectable but rather oily, and the dip it came with was the perfect accompaniment. This was a gem of a place and I'll definitely return when in Edmonton.
