Via Cibo - Calgary

I had always been curious about this place as I passed it when going to my favourite Walmart. I decided to go in the other day for a small meal. We ordered the Via Poutine and the mushroom soup. <br/ <br/ It's the type of place where you order at the counter and they deliver it to your table. It reminds quite a bit of Famoso, another favourite of mine. The food arrived very quickly and was hot. The poutine was a great size and full of saucy porky goodness. I found it a bit too mild but then I added the chili oil and it became quite delicous! The soup was hot and creamy and pretty good as far as mushroom soup goes.<br/ <br/ We are excited to go back and try the carbonara, pizza and gelato and update this review!

Very impressed! Really great service. The food was above average. We tried the caesar chicken salad. Delicious! Good size, good dressing and the chicken was cooked properly. The gnocchi was so yummy! The sauce was perfect! Would recommend this place and will be back.

LOVE the dine in experience as it is the perfect blend between a fastfood and restaurant. The decor is unique to me with some rare to find edison bulbs and a shiny pop machine that allows you to select your beverage.<br/ <br/ The food is prepared for you as you can watch through the glass divider and the seperation of the beverage point of sale from the food point of sale is sheer genius. The gelato I havent tried but it is on my to do list.<br/ <br/ Food is delicious and flavourful, giving the customer some authentic italian choices and the italian soda stands head and shoulders above the competitors. No free refills : <br/ <br/ Food is a bit pricy but what were you expecting? This aint your mom and pop pizza shop!

This is not really a 'fastfood ' place. Quite a bit fancier food. And accordingly pricier. Came for Monday dinner, not too busy. Always can find a good seat. Their patio is open, not much of a view, but nice to be outside . Had the bruschetta, poutine, proscuto flatbread, and ceasar with steak. Love the food, the steak add on worth $5 extra. The gelato is excellent. Bruschetta is fresh. Kids friendly place, they have a kids menu but its not displayed. The service is good, they will bring you your food, but it 's not full service. You pay up front. Serve your own drinks. Overall really chill atmosphere. Causal dinning with a bit more upscale Italian food.

Nice quick lunch spot tried the ossobuco sandwich which is slow roasted veal with arugula, fontina cheese, caramelized onions with garlic aioli. It was good priced pretty well.
