If you are looking for quality, quantity at reasonable prices, then Reas' is the place to go for the best Italian food in Calgary. We have been going there for many years and have sampled many of their fine dishes; always enjoying the excellent food (large portions), service is top notch (attentive but not over-bearing). The owners and staff are... More

Stopped by to kill rush hour time. Thoroughly underwhelmed. First, the presentation: seafood served on a hastily cut piece of lettuce. Pasta sauce barely had any flavour to it. To top it all off, the dish was way overpriced at $23, particularly for the industrial lot location. Still have yet to find a decent Italian place in Calgary, unless you're... More

Being an Italian citizien, I always am unconfortable with trying Italian restaurant abroad but my roommate insisted to take me there. According to me, and other Italians living in Calgary, Rea's is the best of its kind in town. Even if is not close to downtown, its cuisine is top-natch and tastes like I was at home, in Italy. And... More

Formerly Sandros. Reas shines as it delivers tasty Italian dishes. Friendly staff and fresh food. Doesn't leave a dent in your wallet. Reservations recommend for Lunch and weekends or expect to wait. Pizza is tops

In a city full of overly indulgent, pretentious and unnecessarily eclectic eateries...it's nice to get a great home-cooked Italian meal at a reasonable price.

TNot sure what the hype is about. The location is the basement of an old building which is cheaply decorated to try to look italian. The food was low end italian. Very plain and lots of sauces to cover things up. Veal dishes were so-so; I had veal with proscutto and the veal had little flavour, the proscutto was overcooked,... More

We consider ourselves lucky; looking for Italian food when visiting Calgary last week, we chose Rea's..and can't wait to go again!! First, it has that family/welcoming feel that makes you feel comfortable right away, when you step in the door. We quickly felt like we were visiting family, as the staff greeted us with smiles. The decor is calming and... More

This is a traditional fwmily owned Resturant that managed to rebuild itself under a new name. one of the only things that survived the fire was the pizza oven. And I am sure glad it did. this is not cheap pizza and they do not do take out but it's worth the drive
