Reviews for Chef David's Cacio e Pepe Italian Bistro in Olds, AB
We had the opportunity to visit on a recent business trip to Alberta. The meal started off with a superb amuse bouche: pork... belly bites with a hint of truffle. We were also served a very nice, warm focaccia bread with an olive oil/balsamic vinegardip. Our table shared a very generous antipasti platter that featured a nice variety of cured meats, patê, cheeses and pickledveggies. That along with a varied side of breads was a delicious (and filling) starter. Our table ordered two different pastasfor our mains. The special on the evening was rigatoni bolognese, and by all reports it was very good. We ordered the cacio epepe, and were disappointed. While the pasta (linguine) was prepared to a reasonable al dente, the cheese was clumped, givingthe dish an unappealing consistency. The cheese was also saltier than any pecorino romano we?ve tasted. Overall we were verypleased with the meal. While perhaps the cacio e pepe was a ?miss? on that one occasion, we?d definitely order a different pastashould we return. Read more
What an amazing find in small town Alberta! Amazing choices and great tasting food for a good price for what you get. It?s... pretty rare to have chefs come out and greet guests after a meal, but the chef/owner did and it added to the whole experience. Staff was very attentive and all courses from appetizer to dessert was truly tasty. Will come back the next time I?m in Olds! Read more
They made a small mistake with what they served us. As soon as the chef was notified he offered us free dessert, which was... lovely (the gesture and the dessert itself). The food was quite well prepared. My steak was done exactly as requested. Mywife's fettuccine was slightly over salted. I am sure we will be back as this is definitely one of the top restaurants intown. Read more
My dinner companion and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We ordered 4 appetizers and I had the special of the day- prime rib.... Everything was perfect. They have gluten free options for those of us who can't eat wheat. I am highly recommending thisrestaurant. The service was attentive and excellent. Even though it was a Tuesday, the restaurant was quite busy. Prices are abit higher than other local establishments but , believe me, it is well worth the price. It is definitely worth the drive todine here. Read more
I wish this restaurant was in our city! We stopped in on our way home after a trip and had an amazing meal. Both of our entrees... were cooked perfectly, tasted great, and left us wanting more. The lady at the front was very polite and offered us a tableoutside even though we ordered for pickup. We will be back next time we are driving through town! Read more

Amazing. Absolutely gem in Olds. The variety and care put into the antipasti spread is worth the trip alone.
Usually not a prime rib guy but this was so good. You could cut it with a fork. I love the wide variety of Vegys to. Only think... wrong was I think the salt container spilt in the potatoes. Read more
