We had a casual, but quite enjoyable Saturday lunch here. The interior is bright, fresh, and warm, and the food exceeded our expectations. We had all of the daily features, a cheese plate, a meat plate, a pintroxs (small bite) and an appy order of meatballs to share between the 3 of us and a baby. They were all delicious, except we could probably do without the small bites which were BLT skewers, since they were really really small bites, perhaps just enough as a snack for my 18 mth old. We also shared a proscuitto pizza and meatball appetizer which was both very tasty. The meatballs had a wonderful sauce and the pizza was light and crispy. Dessert was good too. We would definitely come back and recommend friends to try it out. The price is a bit high for the actual amount of food you get, but it's still worthwhile overall.

It is a good restaurant. I had good calamare and the pasta were well done. Nothing fancy but good

We arrived with our party of 8 for a 7:30 reservation. We debated a pitcher of margarita's to discover there is only 2 shots of tequila in it (for $19.95). Everyone ordered individual drinks which were inconsistent at best. Food took over 2 hours to arrive. We handed cash and credit receipts to the head waiter, the waitress then came back and $20 was missing. Skip this place and go to Avocado farther down the street!

UNA...is more than just ONE great idea, its the result of that perfect combination of 4 talented individuals coming together with their specific skill set and building a complete concept.

with industry peeps like these as owner operators you get spoiled with an eating experience where the food matches the style of service, the wine list, the decor and even the location in that thoughtful way we've come to appreciate the 'big city' pizza and wine bars.

think of the best slice of 'real' pizza you've ever had, take a sip of your fairly priced glass of red or the cold duvel, say hello to your friends as they too come and go, take another look at the menu for some more plates to share, try another glass of the featured wine,hear the room fill with great conversation, digest your feast with the perfect espresso....and you've just been at UNA

as any 'big city' pizza wine bar, make sure you 're not in a rush to seat as they don't take reservations and the others will have come before you...but with its late night hours why rush a good thing.

The new design looks absolutely beautiful1 Problems are the service. It took about 15-20 mins to get a beer on superbowl sunday and it wasn't even busy!!! (12am) our server was great with trying to keep our spirits up while we were waiting but the bartender wasn't doing anything at all. However, our food was very fast coming out and everything on all 4 of our plates was excellent, absolutely great!!! But, I won't be back, its just not worth it. If the bartender would move a little faster (like he might know what he's doing back there) I might consider, but from what i saw tonight, he just doesn't know at all.

Really lovely atmosphere. Not too busy for a friday night, which is maybe both a good and a bad thing. Great drink specials for a weekend spot. The food was hearty and great portion sizes (you left super full!) but the food wasn't anything to write home about. Decent Mexican food, but ultimately it's how Canadians do Mexican.

Best vietnamese subs in Cowtown. Can't say much more than that.

The seafood lasagna is absolutely amazing! There is also a pasta platter for two where you can select 3 different pastas to try. Service is relatively slow however. Restaurant setting is nice and cozy, however somewhat old.

Have you ever had a place that you go because the food gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside? (The good warm fuzzy that is...) Bev's food is like that - like having your mother's home cooking. The soup that they use in their pho is perfect, an understated masterpiece! Throw on some sate and bang! flavors jump out at you in all directions.

Definitely worth a visit!

Here's the deal. It's a $10 steak sandwich on Tuesday and it's a real steak! Not the half inch thick dog chew that you find at other places. This is a thick juicy steak - the kind that you can find at an established steak house. There are also other lunch specials that change weekly that are a definite must! Also be sure to ask about their calendar.

I like going here sun - tues, pasta is on special and you can try the pasta menu for under $10. Service is usually okay and the atmoshpere is nice. They have a patio in the summer and you can often get a table.

Farm has different and unique food, all nicely paired with great cheeses. Be prepared to open your wallets, and the portions are small and prices are high. The creme brulee is the best in the city. They have a great cozy atmpsphere but the dining room is small and they dont take reservations.

This restaurant used to be a favorite and worth a drive to get takeout even after I left the neighborhood. A recent trip left me and my party very disappointed with the quality of food and service. There seems to have been a deterioration in the quality of food at this restaurant...the chicken was grisly (ALL of it), the charbroiled pork dish was soggy and the meat did not taste nor look like anything remotely charred or barbecued. The order was not complete with several items not included and overall this experience was a let down. Too bad...this used to be a great place!

My boyfriend and I visited Fiore the other evening - we live right off 17th and had pretty much exhausted all other restaurants so decided to give it a try - worst mistake EVER!!! I made better pasta than that when i was 5. The "chicken" is not chicken if it comes pre-cooked and pre-chopped from a vaccuum sealed package! watery - sufficiently draining pasta does help! Better sauces come form a jar so i can only assume that these came from a can and nothing was added to highten any flavor they possibly could have captured. I can't believe that you can throw some "trendy" crap on the walls, locate yourself on 17th Ave and call yourself a restaurant, Fiore should be ashamed of themselves and their "chefs". Wait staff is hit and miss, our waitress was a definite miss. Good luck if you have mediocre taste and no expectations - Fiore should suffice....

I would have to say on the number of times of I have been to Fiore's I have never once had poor service. I find despite the staffing issues in this economy, this restaurant comes out number one for me! Amazing food, no matter what I ordered and always a great environment!

The Lasagna was fantastic. My
only wish is that the portion could
be bigger.

I eat out quite a bit, and all these meals add up, fiore is always the go-to place for a timely lunch that doesn't break my bank account. The selection is great, delicious, and the service is friendly. Easy to eat here a few times a week and not get bored.

Had goat cheese fritter and wonderful salad with fresh mint and grapefruit. The flavors were robust and went well together. Nice Shriaz. Also had the bite of the day. Husband had mountain oyesters, which I tried and like them too. Seriously good taste, its exciting to try new things. Good quality, light fare, I felt great after eating such a welcomed change after overeating at big chain restaurants!

We have dined at Fiore Cantina many, many times and every time it has been fantastic. The people we take with us agree. No one, not once has had a bad meal. That being said I cannot recommend the butternut squash. The prices are fantastic and they have smaller portions for those who cannot finish a full order. The 4 cheese ravioli is great! The buns to start the meal come warmed! The thin crust pizza is great too. We have ordered almost everything on the menu and are always thrilled with the food.

Visited Balance the other evening to watch the hockey game and was plesantly surprised by the casual atmosphere and menu, not your average pub food! Also, the signature cocktails were unique and delicious - a must try!! Will definitely be back!

The food here is so-so and their Menu which used to be pretty good is now dumbed down to the usual fair. The pizza was horrible with a pre frozen crust and bland sauce (I had the sausage), and I've never had a great meal there. The service however is usually great and the patio in the summer is one of the best places in the city to sit and people watch.

We were looking forward to a Saturday night out of fine dining and fun with friends.....4 couples. We met in the bar area, where the service was great as were the appies. When we were ready to get seated for dinner we were told to walk over to the dining area to get seated...well we waited around for about 10 mins before we finally found a waiter to seat us. We ordered some wine and beer...slow service. We then asked ordered some bruschetta and our main meals.....half of us ordered steaks, mine was a 10oz NY Med/Rare.....the food arrived and I had a hard time cutting my steak with my butter knife, we had to ask for steak knives and also had to ask for water as it wasn't offered. Let me tell you, it was the worse steak I have had in a very long time......chewy and gristly....not what I expected for a $35 steak. The rest of the table's meals were mediocre and barely warm. In the end we didn't even get a "how was your meal?".....I guess who cares when you are being charged an automatic 18% gratuity for groups of 8 or more! We ended up in the bar area after which was buzzing...no room to move but good fun...my suggestion, shut down the restaurant if you can't improve the service and food and expand the bar!

Our waitress was great and the starter cheeses and meats really good. We both had potatoe asparagus soup and the cheddar cheese in it was so good we had to buy some. My main was a goat cheese grapefruit salad, which I LOVED! My husband however, had the quail and it was pretty icky. Rubbery and raw. Next time he'd go for the mac 'n cheese. The dessert menu was a bit of a disappointment so we went elsewhere for coffee and dessert.

Nice lunch special of gnocci and salad on a beatiful stretch of 17th Avenue. If you love the sun and people watching it is heaven. The server was friendly and attentive. Thank you Fiore for a wonderful moment that I will remind myself about in those bitterly cold days of winter!

I'm a fan of Moxies, the food is served quickly and efficiently. The staff is pleasant. Food is tasty and visually appealing. I was happy to see that this location received its well needed renovation. I wasn't a fan of the the 'Denny's' feel it had become. Just after the reno, I took a seat on the new larger patio with funky plastic couches and enjoyed the entertainment that is always afforded patrons on 17th Ave. Our meal was great (also one of the best Ceasar's in Calgary). The second time we went on a Thursday night on the bar side and enjoyed wine ($7 off on Thursdays) and a great appetizer. Not disappointed on either visit. However on Thursday the music was so loud that I suspected it was time to put my lip reading skills into play or just start nodding as I pretended to hear my dinner partner. 17th has a host of restaurants and this one is definitely worth the visit.

Excellent atmosphere - very modern and trendy. Always busy and fun. Food is beyond amazing. Drinks are delicious. Servers/Waiters are very knowledgeable about wine and the serving food.

Excellent.

Definitely something that is different. Worth trying!

I love this restaurant. Everytime I go the experience is Awesome! Very great service, the portions are always generous and taste good. As well, we are huge beer fans, so it's a nice atmospere to go and try something out of the ordinary.

Been there once and likely never go back. From outside the restaurant you are easily fooled that it is a romantic place to bring someone. I went there with a date thinking just that. It was loud and very crowded. It was more of a fancy bar scene than a romantic restaurant. The food and service were good. Yet, with so many choices in the city I can think of better places to eat dinner with that special person.

Bad coffee....ok service.Who sells them coffee....Tim Horton's.

Nice day for sitting on a patio along 17th Ave. We ordered the lunch special, which was beef melt, and a lovely bottled beer(Oh how tasty). The server was friendly, but we all know that extra points are offered when it is such a nice day to sit in the sun. Life is good when you can eat on a patio in Calgary.

I loved this place. The cheese is amazing I would highly recomend the BTL salad. Large tomatos butter lettuce, double smoked bacon with 3 year aged cheddar. Great job! I would also recomend the iced tea, they brew it themselves and sweeten it with honey and apple cider. I thought it was nice low prices nothing too over the top I believe our bill was 31.00$ thats two mains and two drinks. I am very happy and I will return again! thanks

The chicken salad rolls are incredible, and the Vietnamese subs here are unbeatable...so fresh and so good

I was looking for a good americano on Friday on 17th Ave. Luckily I had some cash in my car. I went out with just my CC and realized that they only take debit or cash. Oh well it satisfied my need. Thanks to the friendly staff at Beano!

I went to 1410 with a friend on a Monday night. The place was packed and I know why! First reason was probably the hockey game, and the other reason was definitely 1410's awesome specials! When was the last time you saw 9 cent wings? Other specials were $7 enchiladas (with 2 sides!!!!) and $4 coronas. The food was good, although they wouldn't mix wing flavors for my friend. I thought the coleslaw was really good and I didn't really need the other side of rice because the portions were very generous. The presentation and plates are also much classier than expected and a step above most pubs. Only complaints include a forgetful server and a really REALLY loud patron at the next table, but the latter wasn't at all 1410's fault. I recommend this place and look forward to trying more of the delicious sounding meals on the menu.

Unique and delicious. We have had just about everything on the menu and it has all been great. Parking sucks, but not their fault.

This is a great pub with very friendly staff and people! They have great appetizers, a variety of local and import of beers on tap, and generous meal portion sizes. The live entertainment is fantastic!

Melrose is great for lunch, dinner, drinks, and night life. There aren't many place like this in town. Always the go-to place when meeting with friends.

This is a good place for Sunday brunch. A chocolate fondue, fresh fruit, custom made crepes, a variety of breakfast meats, and french toast, are only a few of the specialties offered.

If you are looking to walk in for a decent Greek salad and have some healthy fast food this is a safe bet. The staff aren't too engaging but they give you what you ask for. Just one more olive would be nice. Oh, and it's always been clean.

I celebrated a friend's Birthday at Ming and had a great time. The Martini's are fantastic and the nibbles divine.

Nothing exceptional on the menu but something for everyone. I did appreciate the drink special and the friendly staff.

Although the buffet selection is just above average, I really appreciate that I can find space for my family when I have guests in Calgary. It can be so frustrating to go out for breakfast in this big city.

This restaurant has a warm atmosphere with great food at a great price!

I really enjoyed the vegetarian selection but did leave a little wanting due to a larger appetite. Great taste and no guilt. I did feel like a funky diner just walking in the door.

This is in an old character house which gives it a unique style. The excessive art work displayed on the walls was a bit much. Service was relaxed and food was good. They have a great oyster selection!

Good Food, Good service good times

It feels so welcoming to first walk in. It reminds me of Grandmas little house, but the food and coffee was never that tasty! Sorry Grandma!

I think this is one of the best restaurants in Calgary. The menu usually has numerous things that look delicious. My last time there it was agony narrowing down my top 4 choices. The food presentation is fantastic. We sat at the bar and the service was great. I found their cocktails to be creative but overpriced ($13.50)

The Coup is a great place for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike as their food is so good, who needs meat? I highly recommend the falafel quesadilla with salad and maple balsamic dijon dressing. The only thing I've ate at the Coup that I wasn't totally thrilled with was the soba noodle salad, it was really overdressed. Make sure you get to The Coup early and keep your party to less than 4 because the place is super tiny (but lovely) and fills up very quickly.
