Reviews for Annabelle's Kitchen Downtown in Calgary, AB
Nice deco, great environment, cozy and romantic, food was delicious, good service. I really liked the deep fried artichoke... hearts. The non alcohol Negroni wasn?t that good. Read more
Food and SERVICE is above and beyond. We came here with our friends and our 2 1.5 year old girls. The staff was unbelievably... kind and helpful to us. From the moment they sat us and got the table ready with 2 high chairs they told us they offered cheesepizza or Mac and cheese on fresh made noodles for the little ones and asked if we would like them to out an order in right awayfor the girls. They said one order was enough for the girls to share and they were right , and it was by far the best Mac andcheese pasta I have ever had. The noodles were perfect and the sauce was amazing. While the girls were waiting they were hungryand they even brought pieces of orange over. The pizzas and pasta mains we all shared were incredible and they were able toaccommodate my nut allergy no problem. THANK YOU to the wonderful servers we had today. We will be back again and again and thiswill be my new favourite lunch stop when at work. Read more

Great food, unpretentious atmosphere, and attentive service made our business dinner a memorable one. Everyone specifically... commented on how perfect a spot it was. Pizza was outstanding! Highly recommend. Read more
Annabelle's Kitchen downtown is one of the best eating experiences I've had in Calgary. The reason the quality was so high was... that each ingredient maintained it's distinct and unique flavor. For instance, our pizza had pears, gorgonzola cheese, curedbacon and arugula on it. Asides from the arugula (which I could care less about) each individual ingredient tasted strongly anduniquely, and when combined it was delicious, especially considering the bread also complimented the dish. The same was to besaid of the salad with grilled peaches (unique yet they managed both a sweet and slightly savory flavor) and the whippedfocaccia where both the bread, cheese and honey had distinctly different flavor palettes but still combined magnificently. Ofthe three factors I consider for food (quality, price, and quantity) quality is the one I value least, but this blew me out ofthe water with a 10/10 rating. Price wasn't great for me, but it also wasn't crazy either, and when factored in with the qualityit was very understandable and not overpriced (which means to most people, it was pretty cheap, 8/10). The quantity as well waspretty admirable, on it's own it would have gotten a pretty decent rating to me (8/10). Both of these items are VERY rare to befound at a place were I also value quality so highly. Seriously impressed at this hidden gem. Glad to have discovered you! Read more
Cute restaurant with a trendy decor in the center of downtown Calgary. The menu features various antipasti, pizzas and pastas.... They have an extensive wine list and the service was friendly. Pasta was tasty but the portions were small for the price. Pizzawas deceiving, I found that it was dry, oversalted and greasy. From my opinion, the overall experience is nice for drinks, butnot so much for food. Read more
The most scrumptious mushroom rigatoni I've eaten in a long time... Paired it with the Whip It pizza on a business meeting and... it was not only the perfect pairing, but also were great portions! Will be back to try more house made dishes ???? Read more
Being a fan of Italian-style pizza, I would say that Everybody Knows (I hope it's the name.:D I just remember it being named... after one of Cohen's songs!) pizza is the premier pizza I have had in YYC. It's a perfect combination of tomatoes, cheese, andbasil sauce that tastes so heavenly and rich. I also tried walnut pesto pasta. The creamy and soothing texture of it wasappealing to me as well. The food is a bit pricey, but happy hour makes it worth a try. I liked the vibe and stunning decor fullof plants, not at all like the photos you see in the reviews! Read more
