Reviews for Eighth Avenue Trattoria in Calgary, AB
New FAVORITE place for lunch - the food is excellent!! LUV that they have allergen free options for hot lunches. I'm wondering... if they have GF sandwich options as well? :D Read more
Excellent chicken salad sandwiches but they should ditch the plastic clam shells and wrap these in wax paper. They are fresh... daily, so the wax paper is a good environmentally beneficial change that won’t hurt the quality of the sandwich. Read more
love the coffee, hate the hidden fees. Prices are already a little high, but discovering the undisclosed, unadvertised... additional 5% they tack on to everything to "support employee benefits" is underhanded, and I wont support a business that doesthis. After asking at the checkout why the total was higher than it should be and being told "taxes", i got a receipt, whichwas the only way i discovered the charge. Violation of section 6 of consumer protection act. Read more
If I could give it 0 stars I would. The food was cold and tasteless at the hot bar, the cauliflower only boiled with not even... salt on it, the bass made me gag it was so soggy and their tandoori chicken .... I mean, it tasted like chicken at least. I'vegotten the same amount of food at Sunterra for $7, $10 less than I paid for the same quantity here. First time eating here,never again. Oh and the till staff didn't even hand me my food off the scale, I sat there in disbelief for a good 30 secondswhile she stared at me ....I've been in hospitality for almost 20 years and this was wow. And apparently from other reviews, youpay a mandatory tip and they charge you for a take out container? I wasn't given my receipt so I wouldn't know. I know this isTeatro group but come on. Read more
Noticeably higher prices compared to nearby competitors, but generally better quality food and a nice cafeteria. However, I'm... giving only 1 star because they recently implemented a mandatory 5% tip on every sale. I found this particularly presumptuousand offensive given that I bought a pre-made takeout sandwich. From a cafeteria. I'm unaware of any other cafeteria that doesthis. Needless to say, I'll be buying my daily lunch elsewhere from now on. Read more
I don't work downtown so it's a treat to stop by this place when I am in the area. Great food and fair price; the only thing I'd... critique is if you arrive later in the afternoon the selection is pretty well picked over. That said, I think it's a testamentto how good the food is and if you snooze you lose! Highly recommend eating here. Read more
Food is good but the prices are way too high. I went to the salad bar just for a snack and I have 6 cherry tomatoes, 5... cucumbers, 1 egg and 3 small bocconcini and it's $7. When I actually do get a lunch you can't walk out of that place below $15.Hopefully the competition across the street Freshii will make them revise their prices and utopia of staff. Read more
While exploring the +15 network of walkways in Calgary, we got hungry and decided to get some lunch. We found ourselves in front... of this place just 15 minutes before they closed for lunch at 2:00 PM. The thing I liked very much was that I could mix andmatch whatever salad vegetables or ingredients I wanted and in the end they simply weigh it and you pay by weight. I had a verynice salad, the ingredients were very fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend it for lunch! Read more
