Violino Ristorante

One of the foremost Italian Restaurants in Edmonton. Beautiful ambiance, classy place. Great portion sizes, and delicious cuisine. Always look forward to returning. Staff is wonderful.

What a wonderful jewel in the heart of Edmonton. Food and service were outstanding and Adrian is the consummate host! Don't miss this gem.

It was our first visit, to celebrate our anniversary. Everything about the experience was fantastic. The service was impeccable. Our server Jesser was friendly, funny and attentive, he offered to take our picture so we had a keepsake which was above and beyond! The food was amazing, cooked to perfection and there was so much! They even included a complimentary dessert because it was our anniversary. The restaurant itself it cozy and you can have a conversation and enjoy yourself because you aren't competing with loud music and background noise.
We will be back and would definitely recommend it!

The food here was amazing! Perfect date night for me and my girlfriend, had a wonderful time thanks to the amazing service as well.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is quaint, cozy and romantic.
The service was amazing, I didn't catch the name of our server but she was an Asian woman, and she provided amazing service! She even brought out a free birthday dessert for my gf and packed all of our food in boxes for us as well.
The other staff and management also seemed helpful and organized.
10/10 would recommend this place for a romantic date night or family dinner.
Definitely make a reservation as well if possible as they do get a bit busy even on weekdays it seems.

Beautiful atmosphere and great staff! The food was great! Except the creamy dill sauce on salmon was more like Alfredo, the Asiago cheese wheel was so cool and very rich Wanted to try almost everything on the menu

We had a family dinner here for a special event, and everything was first-rate. Superb food and excellent service in a lovely environment.

The patio and server were amazing, the food was sub-par!

Don't advertise food you don't serve, especially signature dishes!

Aka cheese wheel fettuccine, also don't make me post pictures of the crab cakes!

Violino Ristorante is the perfect place for dates and celebrations. I’ve dined twice and was happy with the food and service both times. The osso buco was tender and delicious, paired with creamy mashed potatoes, and comes with a tiny fork for those who would love to eat the marrow. Service was excellent! Special mention to our waiter Jesser who made my parent’s anniversary celebration extra special.

Such a wonderful experience! This place was recommended by few of our friends. We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Our table was in a small room with three other tables in it. But, we were the only customer in that room. There was a bigger and louder group just outside the room, so the waitress closed the door for us. The appetizers were great! Loved the risotto and the short ribs. We ordered the tiramisu as dessert. But the restaurant added a complimentary dessert - the bread pudding for my wife. I must confess that I was wondering whether I should order the pudding or the tiramisu. Great place! Highly recommend!

Glad I found this restaurant.
The place is homey and cozy.
The food is fresh and delicious.
And the service is excellent.
I can't wait to go back.

I wish I took better pictures of my dinner! I had the fettuccine and it was incredible. I would totally go again!

I have been here once before. This time booked for a large party of 17 with a group menu. I can't say enough great from the incredible servto the fabulous food. The ambiance for such a large group was phenomenal. Kudos to this establishment for a job v fantastically done. Thank you

It was okay, I felt the hash brown and fries with the eggs Benedict was something I could have made at home, which I do:/
It would have been better with some asparagus or broccoli even.
The Mother’s Day brunch wasn’t that well thought out I felt. I’m saddened

The service, the food, the place! Everything was EXCELLENT AND DELICIOUS! I went with my boyfriend and we spent a lovely time there!

The food was outstanding, our waitress was incredible. She did an outstanding job. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

The service was impeccable, and the food was flavourful! The steak was cooked to perfection, everything was well seasoned, they also had halal options It was clean and well maintained little place! Would recommend for special occasions!

One of the best Italian restaurants in Edmonton. The restaurant has ample parking and is located in a small quaint older house. They have a large selection of authentic dishes - ours were beautifully prepared and beyond delicious. We would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice quiet dinner with friends.

Decent food. Terrible service.
The waiter didn’t know how to open the wine bottle. Got cork in my wine glass.
She saw my date trying to fish out the cork and asked “do you want a spoon” instead of apologizing and offering a fresh glass. Very very odd.
Then my date mentioned it was my birthday and she didn’t say anything. He had to specifically ask if I get something special until she told us there was a free dessert.
Ruined a celebratory night for us.

EDIT in reply to the response from management:
What a ridiculous and condescending reply. I know the difference between sediment and CORK in my wine.
I have now downgraded my rating and will never return.

Absolutely everything was perfection. Food, service, atmosphere, even owner spent much time recommending wine etc
Fabulous experience!
