YYC Pasta Bar 17th Ave

Perfectly filled a pasta craving! Late-night and craving pasta for dinner this ended up being the perfect choice. We opted for takeout and the service was quick. Everything was packaged nicely. The Gorgonzola Pear Ravioli was phenomenal. Every bite was delicious and the slightly peppered cream sauce perfectly paired it. We also had a build your own and we're very pleased with all the options. The cheese cake is also a must have.

I have been here only 2 times so far for dinner and every single time everything is just wonderful. Starting from the food to the staff. Our host waitress was Jeissa , she was very nice, friendly and always willing to help us with anything we needed. ☺️Also the chef did an exquisite job with his pastas . As an European suffering to find a good restaurant for pasta, i would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try delicious food. 100/10

The food tasted pretty good, but my partner got very sick (food poisoning). The basic agreement with restaurants is that they'll provide you food and you'll be able to keep it down. As a general rule, if you get food poisoning at a restaurant, you should not try them again. And for this reason, we will not be coming back. Update: The manager reached out to my partner to straighten things out. Bumping the review up for great service.

Amazing experience at YYC Pasta Bar on 17th Ave! The Gorgonzola & Pear Ravioli with chicken was the best I’ve ever had—so rich and flavorful. The Pesto Penne Pasta was delicious too! Our server, Ari, was friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. Great food, great service—definitely coming back!

My first opportunity trying this Italian restaurant on 17th Avenue near 14th street west. Was pleasantly surprised with both the quality and the value I experienced while dining here. My mom & I wanted to stop for a late lunch after a downtown errand and this place definitely hit the spot. Carlos was our host/server and he was both friendly and attentive. We chose a nice window-side table then ordered 2 excellent meals. I had the fettuccine with Italian sausage in a nicely spiced arrabiata tomato sauce. My mother chose the spaghetti with clams in a white wine sauce. Neither one of us had room for dessert because the portions were ample. I did however, look over the post-meal menu and was enticed by items like blueberry cheesecake, chocolate cake, and of course... tiramisu. I believe that I am very likely returning to this restaurant at some point as I am visiting Calgary often. I would rate this business as a solid 8.7 out of 10 for service, quality of food, and a comfortable atmosphere. Didn't have a chance to try anything off of their nice wine selection. Next time I will make a point of it.

We had a fantastic dinner at this place yesterday. We went there for their half-price bottles of wine and were thoroughly impressed. The food was amazing, even though it was busy for a Wednesday night. One thing that truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. Despite the crowd, one server managed to take care of all the tables inside and outside, ensuring that our food arrived promptly and our drinks were always on time. We’ve been to many places, and when it’s busy, the service usually gets slower and less attentive, but surprisingly, not here. We’ll definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu.

We had such a great experience at the yyc pasta bar! We got to try this off-menu lamb shank pesto risotto for $28, and it was totally worth it—huge portion and the lamb was so tender it just fell apart. The head chef even came out to see how we liked it, which was a nice touch. The staff was super attentive, especially our waitress, who kept checking in to make sure everything was perfect. We also ordered their pasta, calamari, and cheese toast, and they were all really tasty!
