Located in the heart of downtown St.Albert, we specialize in authentic Italian cuisine and take pride in providing an exceptional dining experience.
What an incredible experience! It's rare and refreshing to find an establishment that not only delivers great food and service but also makes you feel truly valued and welcomed. That kind of hospitality—going out of their way to accommodate you on a busy night—shows the owner's passion for creating a memorable atmosphere for guests. It’s those small gestures, like remembering your name and finding you a spot, that transform a good meal into a great experience. Building connections with locals at the bar and the personal touch from the owner really added to the charm. It's not just about the food; it’s about the overall warmth and care. Places like this are gems—definitely worth revisiting and recommending!
The food was really good and great customer service. We had the Pollo Alla Boscaiola which was amazing, the white and Penni with rose sauce was delicious. We also had the salmon Al forno which was good but the veggies and potatoes were undercooked and not so great. Definitely coming back.
Super nice and welcoming staffs. I really enjoyed the Penne alla Vodka, it wad tasty. The deep fried Calamari could've been in the deep fryer for another 30 seconds but it's all good. All the dishes came out fast.
My wife and I recently had an enjoyable and delicious meal here. Staff were friendly and service was quick. The owner was always nearby to ensure everything was as we asked. We had the Penne con polo, and the Cannelloni. Excellent and very tasty. Nice and quiet and a very nice evening.
A nice, quiet place with a cozy atmosphere. The staff were amazing and the owner was very interactive with the guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Lots of flavour and ample servings. I would definitely recommend Sanremo to anyone and I will most certainly be going back.
Had an absolutely lovely dinner here with my best friend. The staff are friendly, efficient and even took the time to chat with us. The drinks were good, the pasta was amazing and the atmosphere was top-notch. Would really recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening out.
The service is absolutely amazing at this restaraunt. I can not think of another business of any type where i have received consistent, second to none service, like we have here. They actually make you feel important as the customer. The food prices are very reasonable and offer among the best value to quality you will find. Overall the only thing I'm sad about, is that we have not been here for so long.
On first impressions ,very elegant, perfectly lit, not to noisy and fabulous dishes. There is nothing quite like having an experience thats truly chef run. Lovely wine selection and beautifuly fresh sea food. Bit thrown off by up charge for oil and vinegar with bread. Server was very deligant on staying on top of the table possibly a little too eager as we were there to visit and take in our meal. Over all a plesant experience and will most certainly come again, lovely choice for a nice night out or date night.
Food is amazing and the owners and staff are super friendly and generous
Enjoyed a very tasty dinner. Accommodated a late request for two. Quant atmosphere and good food. Super friendly host. Coming back soon.
This place is amazing. Ermanno and his team will do whatever they need to ensure your dining experience is everything it could be and so much more. The ambience makes you feel like you are coming home to family, and of course the food is top shelf. The shrimp gambini and the mussels are both fantastic. Mains there is no wrong choice. And when it comes to dessert we always pick the chocolate mousse and the tiramisu and we share that way you get the best of both. If you are looking for an Italian dining experience that will make you feel like you are important... Visit San Remo.
Never can go wrong with Italian..the staff is awsone
Great food and service and the music wasnt too loud so you could actually have a conversation with someone. Lovely restaurant, thank you.
Nice place
We came with 2 other couples, great decor, great service, and most importantly great food!! If you havent been, you must go!!
This place is amazing. The owner takes the time to chat and get to know all his customers. The food is fantastic Italian. Love it here.
Amazing find the service will speak for it self Definitely try the special feature pasta Food
I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Delicious meal, cozy atmosphere and fantastic service. They took time to talk to us, take care of our every need, and to be friendly overall. Definitely will be coming here again!
Thank you very much for a lovely evening. We enjoyed celebrating my wife s birthday together and everyone loved their meals. It was easy to make a reservation and the service was excellent. We will be back again.
Fantastic & the lamb was perfect
This is now my expectation for Italian cuisine. It was SO GOOD I cleaned my plate. The bar has been raised so high that I dont think anywhere else is gonna beat this place. The atmosphere was very nice and welcoming and as for the workers and owner they were OUTSTANDING!! Super friendly and always ready to help! If you want that DELICIOUS Italian food from movies, or shows this is the place. Its the perfect example for good Italian food
This place has risen the bar for Italian cuisine and customer service! Extremely friendly staff/owners and the food was absolutely delicious! Both my fiancé and I scraped our plates clean due to how good our food was. Definitely recommend going here and we ll DEFINITELY be back! 10000/10
The food was good, the service was good the environment was good. The thing that bugs me. I asked for a whiskey coke tall with a little ice. The drink came with 3/4 glass of ice. Oh when I got the bill I was charge $0.50 to make the drink tall... Really? You changed the glass, put more ice in it and charged me more....awesome.
Excellent food, as always. Superb service. Ermanno certainly assured our visit was great! Will be back.
Salmon was delicious!
Second time dining here, ordered the lamb shank special which was excellent. The spring salad was also fresh and very tasty. Staff is super friendly, highly recommended.
The best Italian food! The atmosphere is amazing and the food is delicious
WOW! This was my first time dining at SanRemo, and it definitely wont be the last. Might have been the best gnocchi I have ever had, and the dessert was amazing too. Our server was great, very attentive but not overbearing. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be recommending SanRemo to others.
Awesome place to meet friends for a nice evening supper. Food was delicious. Service was excellent and the owner drops by the table to see how everything was. Something you dont see in the brand name restaurants. Highly recommend it!
Service was incredible, everyone was very nice and ontop of all our needs. I had the chicken, she had the pasta, both mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!!! Our 2 year old daughter also approves!!
The food was amazing!!
Tried Sam Remo for the first time last night, (no longer a San Remo virgin haha) and WOW. What a little gem of a place. The interior is lovely, the service was great, food amazing! The owner seems like a lovely fella. My friend and I had a 9oz glass of wine each, we had 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and both had dessert. $140 tax in before tip. Very reasonable for such a great experience at such a charming place. I had enough leftover for lunch today. After having a horrible experience down the street , this will be my new go to Italian restaurant in St. A!
Sanremo has amazing food and great service . Highly recommend for authentic Italian food.
My friend and I had the pleasure of dining here a few nights ago. All I can say is if you haven t eaten here you must give it a try. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. I will be returning on the regular!
The food is amazing and always delivers. Very good service and our table was even gifted a parting shot and a handshake from the manager. Definitely will be back.
Came here recently with another couple and had the best night out. Thanks for great meals and laughs!
Oh my goodness. My husband and I were given a gift card to SanRemo (and free babysitting ;) ! ) We had never been before. From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was cozy, the staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. The rigatoni dish with pancetta, the parmigiana and Pollo boscaiola were all fantastic. And the tiramusu! Wow. Both the server and owner were attentive and so kind throughout our visit. Thank you so much for making our much needed date night a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back.
What can I say.. this place never disappoints! Great service as always from Ermanno! Thank you so much :) Food
The service was absolutely incredible and the food was wonderful as well. The prices were reasonable and we will definitely go back. I would recommend this to everyone.
fabulous Italian food......very good service.
Amazing restaurant the food is delicious and the service is wonderful.
The food is incredible!! The cannelloni was out of this world. You can tell everything is made in-house. I felt like I was eating a meal in Italy! Highly recommend.
Amazing food and really great atmosphere!
Very friendly staff, smiling faces. Hard working and very welcoming service. Exceptional food taste. Compared to other restaurants in town prices are comparatively low. Good quality and quantity food!
Attentive and personable service and exceptional cuisine. The gnocchi was pillowy soft. So good!
Just an all around amazing time and food!!!
Amazing!!! Food and Service were outstanding!!! Food
This is the best Italian food outside of Italy. Our favorite, the food, the service, and the atmosphere. You will not be disappointed the food is truly amazing and you taste the love that is added when they make it. We are booked for our anniversary dinner next week. Parking: good location and parking
We just had an amazing experience at San Remo in st.albert. hands down BEST SERVICE weve had ever. Everyone there accommodated our entire familys needs. Fresh ingredients, prepared perfectly from the seafood dishes to the steak. Clean, friendly, classy.... Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back again.
Food was amazing , waiter was polite and knowledgeable. This has now become my go to place when in the city. Thank you for the most wonderful evening guys.
The pasta here was to die for. Great service also.
Fantastic everything! Food great , service exceptional! Recommended dishes
We drove by and decided to try it and it is by far the best place we have been to! The service was absolutely excellent and the owner came out and had a shot of the best liqueur with us. The waiter and owner checked on us and were very tentive to our needs. We never found ourselves asking for anything as they were on top of it throughout our time there. Their food was amazing and was extremely quick! Quality ingredients and food was made to perfection!! We will definitely be back and it was worth every dollar.
Staff were wonderful, food was succulent, nice touch was limoncello after meal.
Great food and even better customer service, loved the ribeye beef wellington, thank you.
This is now our Go To Italian restaurant. The food is fantastic and Wesley is great.
I am not sure what the other reviews are talking about. This place was truly disappointing. My food wasn t very good or very warm. My cocktail didn t have any alcohol in it.
Quaint little restaurant. Great food and a wonderfully personal touch when the owner made his rounds and introduced himself. Definitely worth a repeat.
This evening my wife and I tried SanRemo Italian Bistro in St. Albert for the first time. We went early at 4:30 and were the first diners in. What a wonderful experience it was. The food is delicious and made to perfection. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fantastic. Excellent and attentive service. The owner is very hospitable, attentive, and very friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant for a quality and extremely enjoyable night out. We will be coming back again and again.
Our evening out was fantastic thanks to delicious food and great service. Our server Rhadz was among the best we have ever had! We will be back for the comfortable atmosphere and the great location. We were able to enjoy the meal with no pressure to leave and even had a chat with the owner which made us feel very welcome. I rate this place among the best St. Albert has. Prices were lower than expected too.
The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is comfortable, but the food is quite lackluster. This food was only slightly better than what you might get from your grocery stores frozen food section. Update: I stand by my review and per your request I will take this conversation offline and contact you directly by email.
I recently went here for my birthday and it was absolutely Amazing!! The atmospher & food are all so Good and the Service was excellent. Thank you for making my birthday that much more memorable Ill definitely be coming back to this little gem in the future.
Was very good food and overall expeience!!
Food, Wine and Service were fantastic. Would be nice if the entrance was wheelchair accessible. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible
Great food, great service, great atmosphere! They found a way to fit my wife & I in on a short notice dinner, on August 18th & made us feel like we were family! This has become one of our favourite spots to eat & can t wait to come back on our next date night!
Ermano and his staff are amazing. Fun environment, amazing food great service wide variety of wine selection highly recommend for any date night family get together or event!!
Ermanno has a very nice little bistro. We had a great time Food
My family and I went to Sanremo for the first time tonight. I called to make a last minute reservation and the owner was able to squeeze us in and was very kind to make adjustments to accommodate us. The food was amazing. Our meals were delivered to our table within 10 minutes ordering. The desert was sublime as well. The owner thanked us with an Italian peach shot to end our night and even came running out of the restaurant to thank us again when we left. We had an amazing time and we will most definitely return. Thank you to the owners and staff for the amazing dinning experience.
The food was great! Absolutely loved every bite. It was very quick turn around from order to at the table which was perfect. We got a reservation the night before and the owner was able to squeeze us in despite the lack of open times, I really appreciated that. The only negative I have is 4/5 stars on service was one of the servers was clearly either distracted or stressed and not at all personable. But the owner/manager was amazing very outgoing and friendly. Best Italian in St Albert for sure!
Everything was exceptional, service, food, ambiance but the final bill for three was outrageous. We each had an appetizer, 1 9 oz glass of wine, 1 beer, the 2 of the daily special and cannolli and with tip the bill was $224. Unfortunately we did not get a copy of our meal receipt to see the item breakdown. I know groceries are expensive but this was very expensive. Yes, I forgot to mention the three desserts, which we highly recommend .
First time there. Had some appetizers and wine. Enjoy both and the atmosphere.
Service: To the obviously New Canadian waiter: Overtly using the term sir loses its genuine and respectful nature when used twice in every sentence. Once in the whole night is enough. Very common for those in your culture. Also, take a minute to find out if I WANT to hear the specials and, out of respect, save you and me some time and effort. I knew what I wanted and you rattled through all of the specials without even asking if I wanted to hear them. Service: In an empty restaurant, ask ME where I want to sit, and dont seat me at the table facing the only other two occupants so I basically can overhear their conversation of lies to each other, and whoever that one guy talked to on the phone promising they just stopped somewhere downtown for a quick bite to eat when theyd been there 30 minutes (he claimed to not know where he was even though he knew the manager very well). I should not know those things about people, but because I had one leg practically in the kitchen and one at their table, I have this intimate knowledge. Greeter: When I come in the restaurant, give me space. A guy was talking to the manager and had his hand on the door. They both looked at me like I was interrupting them, and I had to ask if the place was open before I was properly greeted. Then they sat me in the kitchen. Food The canneloni tasted like plain, unseasoned hamburger wrapped in a wet tortilla smothered in cream of mushroom soup. Fairly bland. But thats what twenty bucks gets you, I guess. The coffee was pretty good and I ordered a second one and the manager got stressed and asked me to take the coffee to go. Jesus. Leave it man. I am adult. I am done, coat on, paid and headed out the door, I have already decided what I want to do with my unfinished dregs of coffee. Labelled Fire Escape Doors should open outwards into the street, not inwards. Maybe there was a stipulation made in Saint Alberts french section by their fire department for this, but this feature has proven to be unsafe in large capacity rooms. Get the new waiter to take some chill. He wouldnt even make eye contact at any point in the evening. He had a job and was doing it despite what I wanted from him. It is not the way to own your place. I felt bullied and unincluded in any interaction with this dope. I expected more from this place, and my last two visits have been like this. Choose better. Train better. Evaluate better.
We just had dinner here with the family and had such a pleasant experience. The food is delicious, staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy. This is our new favourite restaurant. We will visit again. Highly recommend!
Great food takes time to prepare. We received our food in <30 mins from time of reservation. You could tell is was made in advance and microwaved. Bread was stale on edges. Veal Parmesan was super tough and not cooked to order. Pasta also slammed together not freshly prepared. Opt d out of desert based on experience. Super disappointing for a restaurant with a 4.7 rating. Won t be back sadly.
My food was alright but someone at my table had a complaint. The attitude of an employee turned cold at the idea of the food not being perfect. Another employee seemed to blame the customer for not liking the food. The dishes didnt seem fresh either, as if they were reheated. And the prices charged were different from the menu. Overall unhappy. Update: thank you for the reply. Finished plates does not mean the meal was good. Simply we were hungry. Thank you for seating us on a busy night. Unfortunately 3/4 people didnt enjoy their food. It doesnt matter what other customers experienced, this is what we experienced. Finding out why its important, instead of accusing the reviewers of half truths. Again I thank you for your reply.
I had a fabulous time at San Remo for dinner with a girlfriend. This has become one of our favourite spots knowing we will get a delicious meal, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. We know we will always enjoy our visit every time.
10/10 recommend this restaurant! They managed to squeeze us in for a reservation when they were already full! The food was excellent- Fresh and service was quick! The owner himself was our server and he made our experience that much better! Very impressed overall and we definitely will be back!
What a great spot! Food and service are amazing! Definitely going to recommend!
We booked a reservation for 10 people last night before the Snowflake Festival. The food was excellent and the service was even better. Every person we interacted with from the servers to the manager was incredible. Will definitely be going back.
Amazing food and atmosphere, my wife and I really enjoyed our meal, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back.
The food, ambiance and service are outstanding. From the owner, who doesnt stop working for a second, to the chef who never fails to give their best, San Remo never fails to put their best offerings forward. I recommend San Remo to anyone who wants to experience true family dining, after all if you didnt feel like family when you arrived you will when you leave. Thanks for all of the great memories San Remo Team (past and present). Parking: The street parking is a bit hit and miss, but theres a ton of parking in behind. Ive never had any issues finding parking within a 1-2 minute casual stroll from the front door where you are greeted like family!
Came for an anniversary meal with our children. Great atmosphere, quiet, comfortable. We tried a number of pasta dishes as well as the lamb, and shared calamari and arancini appetizers. Everything was good - standouts being the penne alla vodka and the seafood linguine. Great experience!
Ordered the Fusilli Fantasia. It was undercooked, tomato sauce was bland and vegetables were soggy. The bread was bagged bread. It was the same quality as Olive Garden or worse but for a higher price. Its not fresh. After the meal I was asked by two people who work there how it was, I did tell them it was terrible. It felt awkward and their advice was to tell them sooner and they would have made it better. They also havent updated their menus. My meal was listed at $18.50 but rang up $19.50. same with the other diners in my group. There is too much to fix for me to ever want to go back. Its all good, I could see the quality is no were close to Luisa Risto just down the street. Ill stick to them. I feel more comfortable with the staff and the food is a five star. Update: If you enjoy being gaslite about your experience, management will be happy to tell you they are not wrong and you need to be grateful for what they give you. If I ever lower my standards and lose all self worth I might give it another go.
My Husband and I stopped in for a birthday dinner tonight, we always have a great experience and tonight was another example! The atmosphere is amazing and the service is top notch. This has become our favorite spot for any important events we have !
The best Italian food in St Albert. Absolutely delicious every time ive been, great risotto balls.
Amazing food especially the mussels. Our waiter ermanno was incredible! Will be back
Delicious meal and very attentive service.
Great food and service, one of our favorite restaurants.
Gnocchi is incredible. Great pasta and desserts.
Nice environment. Food and wine were great!
Good food, nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Will definitely go again.
Delicious cocktails and signature food at SR tonight. Armano recommended their new appetizer grilled shrimp on polenta, and also crustini con funghi, and delicious meatballs. Smooth martinis, nicely balanced smoke and sweet Old fashions served up by Lenin. So fortunate to have this in St. Albert.
I really enjoyed the food, you could tell that it was prepared by talented people. We ordered a few desserts, too, and they were well-enjoyed. I am a little conflicted though, yes, the food was great, but the time it took to receive it wasnt so great(?) Im still giving 5 stars, the food definitely was worth the wait.
The food here is very good. Quality ingredients made properly with lots of flavour. Reasonable price. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. This is the bad part of our review now. Our service wasn t great. As being told the specials of the day, he would be interrupted by the bell from the kitchen and run off to deliver food in a half empty restaurant. It took 3 attempts to get the appetizer, pasta, and entree specials. A 5 minute break between each item. We ordered a bottle of wine at the same time as we ordered our entrees that never arrived. We ended up canceling it shortly after our meals arrived and they were doing the follow up how s the food taste so far . Last of all, the wooden chairs are not comfortable. This was a tough review to write. When out on a date night and spending $150-$200 on a dinner for 2 you expect a bit more out of the place. I can t say this enough though, the food was a definite 5/5 stars.
The staff and food was fantastic. The service was also fantastic.
Excellent food with great service. The owner made our take out dinner perfectly. Well definitely be back. I highly recommended this establishment.
We came here last week and we really enjoyed it. The food was wonderful, the bottle of wine we ordered was good and well priced, and the service was amazing. Thank you, we will be back!
This place is beyond fantastic!! Located in the heart of St.Albert, the small town charm of the walkable streets is inviting this incredibly warm atmosphere that is enhanced by the exceptional service and phenomenal food!! You really need to do yourself a favour and turn this place into one of your go to places to dine!!
I love San Remo. The staff is friendly and amiable. Special attention is given to everyone by the host. The food is Italian with multiple choices.
What a great place for date night. The service is impeccable and friendly. The food is delicious, especially their stuffed mushrooms in tomatoe sauce. Parking: Large parking lot nearby with free parking. Street parking also available.
Everything from the food to the staff to the atmosphere was amazing. Definitely a need to check out
We really loved this place! Excellent food and same with the service. In fact this was the best service weve had in a long time. Very clean and so nice when the owner comes out to check on you and your food, not just once but 3 times. Family owned and operated, the server said her grandma was in the kitchen. And the price was also excellent. Last time we ate at Boston Pizza and honestly the price per pasta was better here. We will be back for sure!
Food was delicious and had generous portions. Service was attentive and friendly!
Delicious. Great food and service. Never disappoints. Best Italian food in St. Albert
We had a very pleasant experience! Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere! The owner was very welcoming and genuine in his enthusiasm, and even took time out of his day to visit the customers and chat about anything and everything and made us feel at home. This bistro is definitely one of the most lovely dining experiences weve had in a long time! Highly recommended :)
Italian at its best. Family owned and run, tastes like a slice of Italy. Of the several times weve eaten there, weve never had a oh darn moment. The food is delicious, the service is professional , highly recommended for date night, taking out of town guests to, and especially just because its great food. Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy friendly.... the choices are perfect...and accommodating
Fantastic meal. Great ambiance. Our server was very nice, and very quick. After dinner, we were greeted by the owner. Amazing date night experience!
Unfortunately the gluten free pasta was extremely over cooked and basically mush by the time I ate it. Super disappointing
I can t rave enough about San Remo! Not only was the food delicious, the service was exceptional. This was my first visit and definitely won t be my last.
My wife, 3 year old and myself came here for dinner, very welcoming and friendly. I had the lamb amd everything was prepared nicely and the plating was excellent. Definitely a great place to take someone on a nice dinner date, they said it was more than okay to bring our 3 year old in but I could tell the other patrons didnt appreciate it much even though our little guy is quite well behaved in restaurants. Prices we alittle on the higher end but that is the environment they are trying to surround themselves in and seem to do well at it.
1st visit to this quaint restaurant. Service was attentive and fast, explained the menu and specials. Fresh bread to start. Drink menu was excellent and Bourbon tasty. Our meal was fresh and so good. Ermanno introduced himself and thanked us with a shot. Definitely coming back.
We were able to be accommodated last minute on a busy Saturday night. Food was delicious and the service was great. Definitely a cute little restaurant with a great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend!
Always a good experience to have supper here. Staff amazing and the lamb is delicious.
Definitely reccomend this place very good food I ordered the Atlantic salmon and linguini it was fresh and delicious, staff very nice and accommodating!! Definitely will be back
One of our favorite places to go. Always treated well. Great food, wine and company!
I was expecting to have a nice date night out at a familiar Italian style restaurant.. instead we were treated to a high caliber fine dining experience. It was very clear that both the servers and chefs put 100% into our satisfaction with our orders. From customizations to allergy care. The food came out hot, delivered with anticipation of approval from our first few bites. My unrefined taste buds were refreshed with real cooking, unparralelled by any big chain restaurant Ive ever been in, especially recently. Best wishes to the staff and owner. Cheers!
First time dining at SanRemo last night after a recommendation from a colleague -- from the moment we walked in, to the shared laughter w our outstanding server Ermanno on the way out, a 5-star experience thru & thru. Everything we ordered -- from appys to entrèes -- was left in the hands of the fine staff and theres not a single thing we would have adjusted or done differently. Complete masters of their craft. Authentic, wonderfully presented and most importantly, absolutely delicious. Truly a genuine Italian experience. We felt a part of the family before even stepping foot in the restaurant; upon booking our reservation we were able to select an entrèe that had been recommended to avoid missing out. Customer service epitomized. Theres a reason the locals frequent this gem of an establishment -- a MUST have while dining in Edmonton, even if youre not staying in St. Albert. Do yourselves the favour and go visit the fine folks at SanRemo !
Great food, great service and a great atmosphere! This place is a gem!
The service is unparalleled and the food is exquisite. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in St Albert.
Visiting St ALbert and located a quaint friendly Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. We received warm grilled bread and got the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to dip, flavors were so amazing. Mussels to have as an appetizer highly recommend. The tomatoe sauce was so rich and flavorful and the fresh garlic and olive oil, I dipped the bread and sipped the sauce on a spoon. Mains were Gnocchi with italian sausage. My daughter loved it. The gnocchi tasted like pillows of clouds in your mouth. She said the sauce was creamy with the spiciness of the sausage. My husband had the rigatoni with spicy sausages. The flavours were fresh and all the spices enhanced the homemade tomatoe sauce. I had the chicken stuffed with carmelized onions and mushrooms with a pesto cream sauce. I chose the spicy tomatoe basil sauce with penne pasta. Amazing. I apologize for not naming the correct name for the dishes and I hope my descriptions will entice you to enjoy a nice evening out to am amazing family run business with roots that go longer than the 2 bottles of Chianti we shared. Please support your local businesses that are trying to bring back their old and new customers. The next time we are in Alberta visiting our daughter we will definitely stop in for a great meal, friendly owners and staff. Give them a visit and share your experience. I am hoping to go one more time before we leave Alberta this week. Thanks Sanremo for an experience I will share with my family and friends in Ontario. Cheers to all if those who visit your wonderful establishment.
Fantastic food and great people. Chose it off Google and was very pleased. Will try to get back before returning home.
Great place to eat & great food I recommend this place to anyone.
A wonderful Italian seafood pearl in a sea of steaks and fries. As a lover of land meat, I find the ocassional taste of the sea refreshing. Sanremo is an establishments that I have again and again revisited for their signature linguine with fresh mussles and crustaceans. Beyond pronouncing the italian dish names on the menu perfectly, the servers are also quick, friendly and heart warming. I also greatly enjoy their mushroom appetizer which prepares your tastebuds for an explosion of flavour that are both mouth-watering and unforgettable. You will not be disappointed with your visit! I highly recommend this bistro to anyone who is craving a good italian seafood treat
Great food friendly staff.
Friendly staff, outstanding interior.
The food was delicious. A thousand thanks!
As ALWAYS best service, food, ambiance and staff! Will continue to call this our go to date night!
Best food I ve ever had! Will be back 100 times.
The best sandwich I have had in a long time. The meat literally melted in my mouth
Best calamari / minestrone outside the boot! Pasta perfection!
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit Great food friendly staff
A friendly atmosphere with quality food.
Ordered to go. Best food Ive had in a long time. Thank you!
Went with 5 friends and was totally impressed. I had one of the special entrees of Mahi-Mahi and it was delicious, topped with a Mediterranean sauce of eggplant, olives, and tomatoes. The broccoli and cauliflower were steamed to perfection and the mashed potatoes were excellent. It was a large portion but I finished it all, even after eating the Insalata di Pomodori con Bocconcini which was so good I mopped up the remaining juices with their complimentary bread. Overall it was a very fine dining experience!
Amazing service and amazing food!!
Good and great service! But the risotto balls were definitely not great and the place is expensive so I expect better.
Excellent well prepared Italian cuisine. We will always go there. Prices are reasonable. Service is top notch
The atmosphere is great. We travel from the north end of edmonton to come here and its worth it. The food is delicious, the staff is great, the owner is active in the restaurant, which is nice to see. Well be back.
We showed up on a Saturday night without a reservation, they were all booked up but the owner asked him to give him a minute and he said he would squeeze us in. Told him we were in a hurry. Cut to the chase food was fantastic, service was great and ambiance was excellent! Well done.
Yummy
Very tasty food. Good service
Small, local feel, owner trying to please! Loved the mussels and sambuca. Staff and service great. Food was good, we did not eat main courses but the appetizers mussels, tiger prawn, lobster riccoto, boccoconi, calamari. Really enjoyed the evening.
Always an amazing time at Sanremo. The owner Erm is a great host and offers some of the best hospitality in the business. Food is always amazing and youll want to try everything off the menu. Highly recommend
Beyond amazing food and service. I get the specials everytime, half the time I dont fully understand what Im ordering but it doesnt matter because the food is ALWAYS phenomenal
Top notch! The meal was one of the best I can remember. If youre looking for a great dining experience, Do yourself a favor and try San Remo in the very nice section of downtown St Albert.
Great food and amazing staff!
We happened in for dinner on Tuesday night, we left our date night up to chance and we were not disappointed! The waitress was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable and the owner stopped by to make sure we had a great visit. We definitely ate too much bread but it was delicious! For our entrees I had the Rigatoni alla Amatriciana and he had the Vitello alla Parmagiana and both were next-level good and we left so satisfied and excited to return. The Arancini is definitely on our to-try list for next visit! Thanks for a great date night San Remo!
This place is great! I always order their specials and Ive never been disappointed. The staff is very chill and knowledgeable. Not the cheapest place but you definitly get what you pay for. You can hear the Italian being spoken in the back and you know your getting an authentic dining experience. Will be back!
Great food, atmosphere, and staff.
very overrated , not the great at all , pasta was cold when arrived at our table
food was cold
We hadnt been here for a year or so, and I dont know why we waited so long. We really enjoy their food. Simple but flavorful dishes. The owner is charming and always bustling about, making sure everything is OK. He even thanked us with shots of limoncello after we paid our bill. Nice quiet, intimate atmosphere. Attentive and gracious service. Thank you for a very nice night out.
The food was delicious. The server was funny, nice and provided great service. I am already excited to come back. Would 100% recommend. Great for families and romantic dates alike.
Best food and service I have ever had!!!
Hands down the best meal Ive had in all of 2020. Simple ingredients when prepared the right way make every bite memorable. If you love the experience of enjoying a great meal with a friend or loved one, eat here.
Stopped in last evening to get a quick coffee to go. The owner invited my boyfriend and I in and served us THE most delicious latte weve ever had. We then decided to order dinner and bring it home. The home made pasta, the bruschetta and salad were mouth watering amazing! We cant wait to return to sit and have a meal at this beautiful quaint and cozy Italian restaurant. Thank you so much!!!! We will definitely return soon <3
First time coming here and it was wonderful. We were seated quickly - luckily with Covid! Our food came quick and was delicious! We were asked many times how everything was and the server made small talk with us which was nice :) Ermanno came to our table before we left and checked in with us and gave us his card. Very friendly staff and welcoming environment! Plus look at this dessert!! Mmm.
Enjoyed an excellent lunch today. Great food, COVID responsible seating and hygiene, very reasonable prices. Lived in St A a long time and had never eaten at Sanremo before. That s going to change!!
It was a very very good meal! Decent portion size and great service.
soo good!!!!
This place is the best Italian restaurant. Also they have nice desserts and coffee as well !!! Love this place!
This place is reaching hidden gem status. Seems to be even better each time I go!
The service here is excellent, Richard was attentive and friendly. I had the veal and penne with the house tomato(I would recommend that) and the tirimisu which was also excellent. Prices are a little high but overall an excellent place to get some Italian food!
Always good Italian food. The commitment to the experience is great.
Really friendly servers. Food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the bruschetta and chocolate mousse for dessert. Restaurant has nice ambience.
Attentive staff, wonderful food, marvelous evening.
Fantastic. The sevice was amazing, huge portions of delicious beautiful food. Will definitely come back.
Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service.
The best Italian food I ve had to date. The chef, the servers and owner are top!
Great spot in St. Albert for Italian
Excellent food and friendly service.
Great Italian in St. Albert! Tuesday nights feature the best braised lamb shanks that Ive ever had.
We ended up here by fluke Saturday and so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious and I look forward to going back. Would give it 5 stars for the food, but it loses a point for a lack of wine-by-the-glass selection, a large table that wasnt cleared during the entire time we were there, and the manager/owner seemingly swearing at new staff in view of customers. Service from wait staff itself was good.
Great place to eat lunch or dinner. Food is always great. Pasta is always cooked perfectly. Calamari is a must try!
Service was excellent. Food is always incredible. Easily the best Italian food I ve had. After the first time we tried this place, it didn t take us long to come back, and the owner remembered us from the previous time and made the experience feel extremely welcoming.
Fantastic Place in St. Albert. The menu was very traditional Italian with both Primi & Secondi. We will be back very soon.
Good food, small portions though. Staff seemed unsure of what they were doing but got the job done eventually
Excellent, good food , wine and service
First visit. We will return!
Not from St. Albert and was walking to find lunch, the server encouraged me in after looking at the window from outside. Im sure glad he did, the special being a homemade Lasagna was fantastic as well as the garlic bread. Top notch service also. Cant wait to try it agian.
Such great service! Took a friend out to lunch for pasta and we had so much fun. Never rushed. Treated to some liqueur. It was a tasty meal and an even better experience
Good accommodation. Good food. Just mis coordination with some staff and management.
Great place
The food here is delicious. I love the lamb shanks and I am never disappointed. My family loves the calamari and you can always get delicious cocktails here. Friendly service, homey and inviting.
I am a very picky eater in general but especially when it comes to Italian. Cozy and personal just like the restaurants in Italy. The service is quick and they always make sure to check on us. The sauce is fresh. My personal favorite is the lamb but when I m in the mood for carbs, there pasta dishes never fail. Also the mussels are delicious.
Pasta is fresh, served as perfect al dente, with flavorful sauces, a variety of meat dishes. Fresh ingredients. So good!!
Had a delicious meal there tonight, with old friends. Had tonights pasta special that was mouthwatering. Service was friendly. The evening finished with the owner bringing us a small taste of grappa to help warm us as we headed into a cold night.
Not a lot of options here for someone who can t eat tomatoes. I ordered the gnocchi with a cream sauce and it was kind of disappointing. The gnocchi didn t have much flavour and was on the heavier side. The cream sauce was also incredibly bland. The tiramisu is served in a mason jar which is cute, but hard to get out and very small portion. Won t be back, unfortunately.
Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing atmosphere! Erm is awesome and treats everyone like family!
San Remo Italian Bistro is a wonderful little spot. If you are looking for a quick lunch, they can make that happen. If you are looking for a romantic dinner for two they can make that happen. The food is tasty the prices are reasonable and the service and staff are very friendly and
There for the first time last night. Had the veal it was delightful. Pasta was el dente and perfect. The waiter Richardo was charming and diligent. Small and quaint, clean... a pleasurable experience. Cheers
Was at Sanremo Italian Bistro last night . . . again! I cant get enough of this place. Its my go to restaurant when I have guests in town and want to show off what St. Albert has to offer. . . it never disappoints. The food is always delish and the friendly atmosphere keeps me singing the praises for this little St. Albert gem of a restaurant.
First time here, what a delightful experience. Will be back again
The food tasted ok but the portions are very small and expensive for what you get. The rum we ordered was diluted with something it was the wrong color in the bottle and tasted funny. We sent those back. The owners should go have a meal at Pazzo pazzo. Won t go back
Excellent service and food. The owner and staff go out of their way for customers to have an enjoyable dining experience!
Great night out. Fantastic food in an amazing atmosphere
The food was fantastic and the service was great. I highly recommend the lamb shank.
Love eating at Sanremo. Erm is always accommodating. And the food is fantastic. I will always get to Erms restaurant where ever he may be.
Great place for a glass of wine
