Cardinale has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 736 reviews on Google

Bot an authentic Italian unfortunately. Carpaccio was overloaded with sauce (american style), Pasta’s tomato sauce was off - too sour and not enough tomato flavor. The tiramisu was ok - although also here, not enough coffee/cacao flavor Service took a bit too long too. Price was too high for what you get

Food was pretty good. I had meatballs, squid pasta, and sausage pasta. The squid one had a good touch of seafood flavors but was too small. Pasta was a bit salty. Overall, prices were too high for the value and atmosphere of the restaurant.

Our first visit and a great experience! Tyler was our server and recommended a great bottle of wine(pictured) to accompany the variety of dishes we selected. The rigatoni and squid ink pastas were our fav. Also, don't sleep on the burrata. We ordered the focaccia bread and the gnocci as well and really enjoyed it all. Their patio wasn't opened yet, but I'd love to go back for that. We went before a concert and joked about how we could have paid our bill and called it a night, completely forgetting we actually had another event to go to. It was that enjoyable and memorable!! Highly recommend!

The food was quick and super tasty. Our server was incredible and super informative. The focaccia was incredible. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back, but make sure you have a reservation on Hockey nights.

This is our second time visiting, last time we didn’t love the food or drinks but we had a show at the Saddledome so decided to give it another go since it’s been a few years from our last visit. The only good dish was meatballs and bread starters. Lasagna was really bland, meat and gnocchi too salty but I’m most disappointed by drinks. I love sweet cocktails but there is nothing on the menu that looked good. Cocktails we ordered we had hard time drinking.

Cute little restaurant with a decent menu, everything tasted really great and service was good. Cocktails were nice but wish there were more options that were light/sweet

Walked by Cardinale many times while going to hockey games. Finally made it in and I don't know what took me so long. The food and drinks were solid and the service was great. We decided to sit at the bar and had the chance to try a couple of there own Amaro's spirits. Tried 6 of the dishes and all were amazing and the portion sizes were generous. Actually it was 7 dishes because we had a dessert as well. Will definitely be back.
