Ryan our server was beyond excellent, he provided us the service that any server is supposed to provide. From what wine to pair with the food we were looking for, to how much food per serving, to the dessert recommendations. He came out at the time when we needed service and helped pack our food when asked to. Food was exceptionally, service was amazing. Ambiance was great for your anniversary. They also provided with extra once known about the anniversary which is another plus. I would recommend this place to anyone anniversary dinner.

About the restaurant

An all day, everyday affair, this is a collaboration between the people
that brought you Red Ox Inn, Canteen and The Wired Cup.

Our mission is simple—build a community gathering place and
serve tasty food properly prepared from locally sourced ingredients,
pour great wine and cocktails, make great coffee and present it
with impeccable service.

The vibe is relaxing, the parking easy and the patio is simply perfect.
Happy and Olive is an Edmonton destination where neighbours,
friends, visitors, and families can eat well and connect.

Tapas / Small Plates

Edmonton

About the restaurant

Bodega Ellerslie, our first Edmonton location south of the River Valley, is just 15 minutes from the Edmonton International Airport, steps away from Blackmud Creek and surrounded by numerous hotels and head offices.
Our Ellerslie location is the perfect spot for a speedy lunch, drinks afterwork and a night out with friends. With just 60 seats, this space is bright, dynamic with all the little details our properties are known for.
This summer, snag a spot on the patio, and settle in - small plates and paella to share will transport you out of the suburbs and into Spain. This is a friendly neighbourhood restaurant & we kindly ask guests to observe a two hour dining experience on busy nights so we can host as many of our cherished patrons as possible.

For groups over 4, please phone us at (780) 884-5916

This was my first visit to the Bodega. The waitress was very helpful in assisting us in selecting the tapas. Our favorites were the grilled octopus, brussel sprouts and the chicken paella. Will definitely go back

vivo ristorante - Westend

Italian

Edmonton

About the restaurant

vivo is where Italian comes alive. We relish the enthusiasm and joy with which the traditional Italian meal is prepared and delivered, and seek to recreate that experience for every guest. Our open kitchen showcases our chefs preparing fresh and local ingredients.

When you join us for dinner, expect it to be a relaxing evening lasting a couple hours over several piatti (courses). Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.

A classic Italian pranzo (dinner) usually beings with a variety of antipasti (hot and cold appetizers), followed by one or two primi (usually a hot pasta, risotto, gnocchi or zuppa). Next your table will share a secondi (entrees) served on a platter combined with your choice of contorni (vegetable side dishes). Italians often complete their meal with un dolce, un caffe, or un digestivo (dessert, espresso, liqueur or grappa).
we only use fresh in house made pastas and sauces.
