Giorgio's Trattoria
(Restaurants - Italian)
219 Banff Ave, Banff  T1L 1C4 • 403-762-5114
Distance: ~1.529 km *
        Description: AIRPORT - YBA. 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.

299 Banff Ave, 2nd floor, Banff  T0L 0C0 • 403-762-4414
Distance: ~1.676 km *
        Description: AIRPORT - YBA. 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.

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.

Ticino Swiss - Italian Restaurant
(Restaurants - Italian)
415 Banff Ave, High Country Inn, Banff  T1L 1B5 • 403-762-3848
Distance: ~1.981 km *
        Description: AIRPORT - YBA. 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.
