Talk about a hole in the wall! Completely unsuspecting when we pulled up but so glad we tried it out. We were told the wait was 45 minutes when we walked in. Considered leaving but saw just enough space open at the bar counter. The 3 of us sat at the bar and had great service from everyone that walked by. Food came out fairly quick and we were all 3 seriously impressed with our individual dishes. Saved in my favorites so I can return again!

We were sat upstairs, the ambience isn’t as nice as downstairs.

The pizza oven wasn’t working, had we known we wouldn’t have came after booking over the phone tonight. It was our first time and if I’m honest we’re a little disappointed.

The pasta sauce was bland and just lacked flavour.

The service was great.

I would try again but not in a hurry as we paid $170+ for 2x wines, 2x beers, a salad, soup, 2 pastas which didn’t taste like much.

Great atmosphere from the moment you walk in the door. Awesome bruschetta and tortellini. We had a terrific dinner and would definitely go back.

Talk about a hidden gem, Rea’s Italian Cucina is a delightful restaurant offering an authentic Italian dining experience. This family run establishment has a warm and inviting ambiance that makes you feel like you’re a guest in someone’s home.

Rea’s menu is extensive with a wide array of traditional Italian dishes crafted from fresh, high-quality ingredients. There’s something for everyone here including classic pasta dishes like Spaghetti Carbonara and Lasagna, thin-crust pizzas and hearty entrees. Everything was cooked to perfection and portion sizes were generous.

We found the service to be excellent – honestly what you would expect being served by one of your own family members. We got recommendations on both meals and wine pairing for the evening and never felt any pressure or upselling. The staff was obviously very knowledgeable and genuinely focused on us having the best experience possible.

The restaurant’s atmosphere is comfortable but I wouldn’t say it’s trendy. I personally see this as a positive given all the focus and energy is put into the food. I think this would be a great place for any occasion and they seem to be able to accommodate larger groups. A reservation is recommended given the popularity and modest seating available.

Rea’s is a must-try for anyone seeking a genuine taste of Italy!

I stopped here on a quick layover and found this hidden gem. I would consider flying to Calgary just for another taste of hospitality, food and Alfredo’s negroni. Absolute gem highly recommend!!

The biggest shock is that all the pasta is PRECOOKED at this overrated restaurant. Even if you ask for al dente, they will not do it. Mushy pasta is very American and very un-Italian. My overcooked spaghetti seemed to be cooked together with linguini. Sloppy but a minor issue.

The second biggest flaw was the sauce. The lack of or unbalanced ratio of soffrito makes the distinct sweetness of Bolognese non existent. The meat is not even broken up properly and sitting in chunks. The sauce just tastes like ground beef and oil. I have nothing good to say about the Spaghetti Bolognese I ordered and they should be embarrassed about what they serve.

Incredibly subpar food but great service. I want to try more items but the quality of the Bolognese prevented me from ordering more. The service was lovely and I appreciate how hard the front of house seem to work.

The reply is also hilarious and shows that they have 0 interest in taking ownership for their poorly cooked food. This is touted as one of Calgary’s classic Italian establishments. Not if they can’t even be bothered to properly cook pasta.

The best Lasagna I have ever had in my life! I was visiting from Quebec and this place was recommended by a friend. If I ever find my way back to Calgary I am definitely coming back!
