| Italian?
Posted: 8/10/2007 8:18:03 PM | I hear there's a fantastic Italian place in Brigeland. I've not tried it yet, but it's a favourite of a co-workers. I belive it is in a house, and Mama is the cook.
I have had Antolini's on 17th. Fantastic family-owned restaurant, the Father & 2 sons who own it had a restaurant in Toronto for about 25 years. They even brought me into the kitchen at the end of the night!
And a 3rd suggestion for a Festività Italiana is Il Chianti on Edmonton Trail & 20th Ave NE.
Unless of course, someone else has a suggestion?
(sorry, I'm an ideas person... I just need help with the follow-through!)
Mange, mange, mange! | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 11:41:21 AM | my folks love that little italian place in bridgeland! They highly recommend it, reservations required and very homey atmosphere I hear! I'd be in! and maybe a couple of friends!
Does anyone know of any Peruvian type restaurants or foods/recipes/places around calgary? I'm having an exchange foreign mature student stay with us for this next semester and would like to make her feel welcome? If there is , let me know and if possible would like to do a Peruvian Ethnic Dinner when she gets here and is settle! But, looking forward to the Italian nite! PJ, move to the sign up threads! Sundays are kind of nice, can I suggest a little earlier dinner so people can get home and ready for school/or the workweek?

Posted: 8/11/2007 12:02:50 PM | | That place in Bridgeland must be good if two of you swear by it. I probably would show up for that. I want to try an Italian place, The Spaghetti Ranch doesnt quite cut it anymore.... | |

| Italian?
Posted: 8/11/2007 12:45:40 PM | OK, I'll talk with the grumpy old man from work on Monday, & see what the name of it is.
I think a friend & I drove past it, with all intent of going there, but it had people spilling out of the doors (or, maybe just outside smoking).
I'll get the details on Monday then... hopefully they are open sundays! | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 3:00:14 PM | For the sake of options only and because LaBrezza is often very busy: there is another place on the same strip called;
La Dolce Vita
Both are excellent, very personalized service at both places.
Thanks PJ, looking forward to Dinner. | |

Posted: 8/12/2007 6:39:31 PM | Hey Puddle Jumper........
If you posted it in the events thread it will eventually get moved over by the Big Fish  once he approves it and makes sure it is within the boundaries of this site.
If in a day it still has not been moved over where people can sign up, you can always email him. That is what I did and it was moved over immediately.
I hope that helps, good luck, and have a great time!
I just wish I could join you guys.  | |

Posted: 1/20/2008 5:04:54 PM | Hey,
I'm wondering if anyone is still up for Ethnic Dinner nights in Calgary?
The last one I attended was the much anticipated Sultan's Tent. YUMMO.
any suggestions as to what type of food you'd like to try? | |
|
| New Year... New Dinners??
Posted: 1/20/2008 5:57:05 PM | Perhaps with all the discussions regarding Canadian culture and identity, we should have a "Canadian" Ethnic Food Night or even an "Alberta" Ethnic Food Night. I know of a great restaurant that serves nothing but beef entrees and it's fantastic!

Posted: 1/20/2008 6:42:57 PM | The restaurant I was referring to is called Graze. But the Cattle Baron looks cool too!
Buzzard's Restaurant and Bar serves bison and there are probably others that do as well. | |

Posted: 1/20/2008 9:42:07 PM | oops... posted too soon..
is this it?
Graze Restaurant & Grill
Located inside the Executive Royal Inn north Calgary, Graze offers a unique grill experience by offering an all-beef menu. No Chicken, no pork, no fish on the menu. Speaking about their menu, it's seven feet tall; too large to be brought to the table, guests have to go to it and are invited to sample flambéed steak bites grilled right in front of them—and can ask the chef any questions about dining choices. And choices include a 5lb steak, 64oz drinks and a 100+ salad bar. | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 5:14:58 AM | Yep that's it!
And Buzzards ...
is a famous restaurant in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In the same location for 25 years, this authentic steak house is right downtown, two blocks from the Calgary Tower, serving some of the best steaks and burgers in the city. Be sure to check out the Special Events page for up-to-date information. Buzzards is the place to go for an authentic cowboy experience during the annual Calgary Stampede, or a great steak at any time of the year.
THE FOOD Our beef steaks are 100% Alberta, graded AAA (the highest quality), and amazing value. They are aged and trimmed to perfection. In addition, we have a number of menu items made from organically-farmed and locally-raised Bison (also called Buffalo), as well as several fish and chicken dishes, salads, hors d'oeuvres and flat-bread pizzas for lighter appetites.
