Since 1952, we have been Calgary’s meeting place for Italian culture, heritage, education, community, and celebration. Through cultural programs, language education, community initiatives, memberships, and social activities, we bring people together across generations and help preserve Italian traditions within Calgary’s broader Canadian community.At the Centre, tradition and celebration come together under one roof. We welcome guests to La Cantina for authentic Italian dining in a casual atmosphere, with indoor bocce lanes and a full bar, while our ballroom and private room host weddings, corporate events, anniversaries, and community celebrations. Our facilities support gatherings from intimate groups to larger events, with Sorelle Catering as our exclusive food-and-beverage partner.

We attended a beautiful event at the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre recently. The food was delicious and very generous in portions. You will not leave hungry!There is a coat check available. But the parking can be the pits! There is parking right next to the building itself (get there EARLY if you want those spots) and also a parking lot right across the street. Both were filled by the time we arrived so we sought out street parking.
Very good service to host a wedding or a business event. The food is excellent, the facility is a bit outdated but on schedule to be modernized next year. Highly recommended!
For many Sunday mornings the Italian Cultural Centre graciously allowed their parking lot to be used for outdoor Donation Drop Offs for Ukrainian newcomers and then donated their hall for a final fall Drop Off last Sunday. Their warm hearts have aided hundreds of newcomers to sleep well. Thank you for your kindness.
Amazing Italian food (of course).Great service, can't wait to go back.
We had our staff appreciation party and I really enjoyed this venue and the food they provided 🥰

Great food and service! The bocce lanes in the cantina are a great family activity, too. We always enjoy our time at the Italian club.
A fantastic dinner to celebrate a family birthday! Many items from the menu were ordered this evening (I cannot even attempt to remember them all) which brought my wife and I back to Italy from our travels! The food tasted authentic, the place has a good atmosphere for a small restaurant, and the service was good. All of us (6 adults 2 kids) left happy with our meals.
If you're looking for real Italian pasta this is the place to go. The food was absolutely perfect and super delicious. The prices are fair and you get a lot of calamari as the appetizer so make sure to share! The service was fantastic and the server was very attentive and accommodating.
I recently visited La Cantina in Calgary, drawn in by the buzz of locals praising its vibrant menu and cozy atmosphere… From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance promised an experience that goes beyond the plate… I started my meal with a lineup of appetizers that were nothing short of scrumptious… But I stayed focused and ordered my all-time favorite: the Chicken Parmesan… The Chicken Parmesan was cooked to perfection, the chicken itself was juicy and tender, while the blend of cheese and sauce struck an ideal balance, creating a dish that was rich without being overpowering.
We enjoyed a take out order from La Cantina recently. It is a small restaurant located in the Calgary Italian Cultural Centre and it features an extremely clean and modern decor. The food was superlative and all 4 of us were well fed and we enjoyed leftovers too! If you’re looking for quality and authenticity for Italian cuisine and are not concerned about lavish decor you definitely must put La Cantina at,the top of your next Italian dining! La Bella vie (spelling?).
What a great place to host events, we loved having the TriXtan Entertainment Family Feud Game Show at this venue. The staff were friendly and a lot of fun, not to mention the food was amazing!!
Absolutely fantastic food, environment and Peroni Beer. I can't wait to go back next time we are in Calgary.
