Description:
Casual and unpretentious, this eatery has provided Banff with affordable Italian cuisine for more than 20 years. Its homemade pastas are particularly desirable, and paired with great sauces and fresh ingredients, they're a recipe for satisfaction. Chicken and veal dishes are also offered; one of the most enticing is Veal Valdostana, a scallopine stuffed with prosciutto and Fontina cheese, crowned with a wild mushroom sauce. A local treat, smoked trout, is prepared in-house and makes a tasty starter. Desserts are also homemade and include Frangelico ice cream and Swiss chocolate mousse. Scotches and cognacs are available too. |

Description:
Giorgio's envelops diners with richly-colored walls and gleaming woodwork, offering a cozy respite from the winter weather outside. Locals call this one of their favorite places, and you can tell by the people waiting for a table that it's popular. Homemade pastas and pizzas are the main draw, although the osso buco and shrimp with garlic and olive oil demand attention too. Pizzas are fired in a wood-burning oven and come in various combinations, including one with tiger shrimp, mussels and cilantro. Among the featured desserts are two Italian classics, tiramisu and zabaglione. |

Description:
Simple black furniture and an elaborate tile floor distinguish this restaurant, along with a bronze pig that holds court on a pedestal in the room's center. Windows look out over Banff Avenue, and a bistro feel presides throughout. The menu takes cues from all over the world, so along with burgers and steaks, you're likely to find Hunan kung pao pasta, tandoori chicken satay, and Thai green chicken curry. Ribs, chicken and pizzas are also on the agenda, along with a nice selection of wines and beers. Earls is particularly ideal when you want comfort, reliable food, and just to hang out in a relaxing environment. Plus, they have regular drink specials and a couple of their own signature brews. |

Description:
Colorful and fun, this animated restaurant focuses on the zesty cuisine characteristic of the Mediterranean and the West Coast. Fresh ingredients bring out the flavors, and the kitchen ensures that everything they prepare is first-rate. Pastas include Fettuccine Natasha, created with salmon and pepper vodka tomato cream sauce; pizzas include the Polla, which comes with tandoori chicken, snow peas and almonds; and the rotisserie delivers such fare as spit-roasted leg of lamb and free-range rosemary chicken. Main dishes tip towards steak and seafood, but you'll also find venison with blueberries and a country style pot roast with root vegetables. |

Description:
Named for a Swiss canton bordering Italy, this charming restaurant offers a rustic decor that's tempered by refined details and attentive service. The European-styled cuisine is influenced by both countries and makes use of Alberta's local ingredients too. Notable starters include homemade gnocchi with smoked duck breast on walnut sauce, and the restaurant's wild mushroom soup. A featured pasta might be egg noodles with tiger prawns, scallops and clams in an orange ginger sauce. Fondue remains a popular dinner entree, but you'll be tempted, too, by baked salmon, roasted duck breast, venison medallions, or lamb with figs, dates and mint. A selection of wines is available as well. |

Description:
Owners Dominic and Suzanne Fielden and chef/partner Ralf Wollman share a commitment to community, the earth, and healthy and flavorful food that is truly commendable. Their careful attention to detail is more than evident in the finished product, a perfectly crafted flatbread pizza second to none. Each pizza starts with 100% organic ingredients; handmade flatbreads are topped with an amazing array of vegetables, meats and cheeses, then baked in a specially constructed wood-fired clay oven. These pizzas are so good, in fact, that more than 80 other retailers across Western Canada now stock them. If you like pizza (and who doesn't?) you won't want to miss this one. Their Saturday evening "Dinner & Laughs Comedy Show" pairs a 3-course meal with humorous entertainment – make reservations early for the show! |
