Rea 's is SO GOOD. I have driven by a few times over many years and never thought to stop in to try it, but when a friend suggested I pick a restaurant for us to go to, I have no idea why or how I thought of Rea 's, but there we were.We ordered the bruschetta to start, if you are here to eat, just get it. The photo I posted it 2 orders, each order comes with a heaping amount of bruschetta on garlic toast. You also get a big bread basket to start, the rolls are warm and soft. I ordered the carbonara, and yes...there was a bit of grease at the bottom of the plate, but I attribute it back to how much pancetta they give you in the dish! These guys do not skimp on the portions. Just don 't think...
My husband and I went here for our anniversary after a couple of friends said it was the best. To be honest, it was good but I wouldn't say the best. What an obscure location! We had the bruschetta and caeser salad to start. Both were fairly average but a good value. We each had a pasta and enjoyed them both, the fusili and the ravioli. Portion sizes were large and prices were pretty average. I have a sweet tooth and was disapointed in the dessert selection. They had four options, but two of them were basically the same (ice cream balls, either chocolate or white chocolate). Our server was very friendly and efficient. We never had to wait for anything. Atmosphere was your typical old schoo...
I been here several times since it open , Not to hot on the decor its okay but nothing special, the food however makes up for it and is of course the main reason we go, the Calamari was good, the Salads were tasty and crisp, I had the Carbonara and it was very good, lots of flavor, noodles cooked as they should be, lots of pancetta ,overall very good as it always has been
I was here for lunch mid December enjoyed a great meal I ordered the antipasto italiano which is olives, cheese Italian meats every thing that I love as my main I got the fettuccini alla gigi. The fettuccini had olives, capicolla ham, peppers, mushrooms lightly dresses in a delicious Rose sauce. I would definitely come back here just to try the fettuccini again.

Been here many times. The food is consistently quite good and served hot. Service also consistently good. For Italian, it's probably the best in the city, but the portions are huge, so best to come hungry. Pizza is also great here. Deserts are nice and generous. Best to make a reservation unless you are eating late.
This place makes the best pizza in Calgary. I just had the Alfredo special. If you are a pizza snob and nothing beats an American style Napolitano pizza, this is the place for you.
This is really authentic and delicious Italian food! The place is cozy but a little too dark. Food is top notch and service is ok. Pastas and pizza are very good!
The service and waitstaff were excellent, very attentive, and seated us with no problems -although we had no reservation. The sausage was just right...
