Having had good reviews I was looking forward to this meal. I couldn't find a menu though, their "website" sucks. They count on social media too much, of which I have none.
The meal was bland and heavy. We went with a group and had what would normally be called a 7 course meal?
We started with a ceasar salad The dressing was WAY too heavy, but it was favourable. 3/5
Then we went onto a spicy sausage with roasted red peppers. It was good, but would be better in a pasta. 3.5/5
After that we went kind of strange. We had a large plate of vegetables where half were over cooked and soft and the other half were undercooked and hard. One half had seasoning the other half tasted like I was eating at a seniors home - NO flavor. 1/5
With the veggies was pasta and sauce. Again, lacking flavour, which REALLY surprised me for an Italian restaurant. No oregano, no garlic, just very bland. 1/5 A strange combo too - veggies and pasta.
Finally, to really make my stomach feel like throwing up was Chicken Parmesan. How do you make chicken parmesan lack flavour? I thought maybe my stomach was rejecting it so I had leftovers the next day to try it again and equally bland. 1/5
The atmosphere was nice but the bathroom was the coolest place in the restaurant. They have another large room inside that a party of our size could and should have been seated, but it was full of items that should be stored in a more appropriate place.
All in all, I had my fill, it was too heavy and too bland to ever go back.

I love the new location. Its so beautiful and spacious. The food is amazing, the vibe is romantic including the music. The amaretto dessert was just delicious. Honestly better than Cafe Amore.

Such an Edmonton classic! Remembering this amazing spot for ever. Their new location is wonderful and perfect, always clean and great atmosphere. The food is exceptional, great value and very consistent would recommend anyone in the downtown core to check them out
