Uccellino - Edmonton

Absolutely stellar service. Our waitress was awesome, very attentive and friendly. We had the house made ricotta crostini to start, it was absolutely delicious. It was a bit heavy in the cheese to bread ratio for me personally, but it was the creamiest ricotta I have ever had. I would just maybe get some extra bread next time. Next we had the tagliatelle which was perfect. Great texture, perfectly cooked, and just the right portion. We then had the brick chicken. Super moist, again cooked perfectly. But heavy on the fennel for me, but I’m not a fennel fan. Was still great though. I got a whiskey sour to start which was great. I had a white negroni next which was honestly disgusting. I drank it because it was $15 but it tasted like cough syrup. Overall great experience. I love the simplicity of the menu. Will be back for sure.

Here 's the thing: If you 're thinking of eating here, don 't hesitate. Book your reservation now, and come back to read my review. It 's all positive. The service was over the top. My girlfriend loves to ask servers what the best dishes are, what their ingredients are, etc. Basically, she grills them. Our server didn 't say 'I 'll have to check with the kitchen ' once. She knew her stuff, asked for preferences, and made great recommendations. The food. My god, the food. All of it was flavorful, with great portions...not too much, not wanting more. We had a Wagyu capriccio starter, and whipped Goat ricotta on toast. Everything was perfect. We followed that with a shared dish of butternut squash ravioli, each morsel was light and delicious. For mains, I went with the veal, girlfriend had bricked chicken. We had a slight hiccup here, but it was all to the good. Our server felt that the chicken may have been overdone (if it was, it was very slight). She took it upon herself to have the kitchen prepare another whole chicken, and boxed the original for us to take home. When staff are committed to perfection, you really can 't ask for more from any establishment. My veal was a work of art. At no point did I have to use a knife, it was that well prepared. When knives are decorative, you know there 's great chefs in the kitchen. The chicken was moist and flavorful. For dessert, we couldn 't decide on their chocolate budino cake or olive oil cake. It was my birthday, so I wanted their best cake. I went with chocolate...they brought both, with no additional charge. The olive oil cake was a bit like a pound cake, quite good, but the chocolate was astounding. All in all, an amazing experience. As a former chef, I appreciate all aspects of a well-run restaurant, and the tip I left was one of the biggest I 've done to date. Though the meal wasn 't by any means inexpensive, the value was incredible. Was it worth eating here? 1000 times yes.

The chef’s tasting menu was an incredible way to spend 3 hours with my fiancée. A culinary journey that we loved every minute of. Highlights included the bistecca and potato gnocchi. Overall a great experience, can’t wait to come back.

Came here for date night on a Wednesday evening and oh my- the food was AMAZING. We had the Arancini and Goat Ricotta cheese appies, and it’s the best Arancini I’ve ever had!! We shared ravioli and taligetelle and wow- so fresh and delish. The only reason for the 4 star is the atmosphere. It was quite crowded and loud. For anyone who likes a bit more intimacy and space when you’re out, it’s definitely not that kind of feel. I had to speak loud and I was within touching distance to people next to me on the bench seat on the main floor, which for someone who has some social anxiety and likes the quiet, was a bit distracting. Food was so good though!!!

Fantastic! This is one of three restaurants in the family and it did not disappoint. We started with the Panzanella salad followed by the pork sausage sugo pasta. We planned on sharing and the server recommended sharing plates as the food is rich. We were stuffed after devouring the two dished. The cocktail list is innovative and fresh.
