Vaticano Cucina - Edmonton

We came up to Edmonton for our daughter's 21st birthday and decided to celebrate at Vaticano.The service was 10 out of 10, the appetizers again were a 10 out of 10.The Braised Short Ribs were spectacular. The Gnocchi Tatufo was silky soft, with the mushroom cream sauce that was the star of the dish.The seafood pasta was a disappointment with perfectly cooked seafood and pasta and cream sauce that was under seasoned, and no salt or pepper was offered table side.The Saint Vincent Pizza while tasty had such a soggy crust that it made me wonder why the to-go container they brought had an insert to allow the crust to breathe but it is served just on a plate.

This place is so underrated. If you want authentic Italian dishes this is the place to go. The pizza particularly is astronomical. We had the St. Michael’s and the you can really taste the ingredients and truffle on it. This is our second time to be here and it’s really special.Dietary restrictions: If you’re Celiac they can do the dishes gluten free for an added fee.

An absolute gem! The service and food was amazing! (Bruschetta, pizzas, Focaccia Bread, and Tiramisu) the best chocolate and Espresso Martinis.We will be going back before we leave Edmonton, we evacuated to Edmonton from Yellowknife and this was a lovely evening.Will recommend this place to anyone who is wondering where to eat in the city!

Accommodated 12 of us for supper with little notice. Our family had all come together for a funeral earlier that day and it was also my aunt's birthday. We had big feelings, lots of food. Our server Martin was so lovely, accommodating, had a sense of humor, exactly what we needed. He managed all our orders without any mistakes and kept the service running efficiently without us ever feeling rushed. It was a hard day, but he made it a little brighter. Also the food was so good! I had a steak salad. And my negroni cocktail was nicely mixed.

Excellent foods and service. If there is a Michelin guide for Edmonton, it should be on the list.
