We always love to see a new restaurant in Calgary, and one new addition is set to offer a unique Italian dining experience.
L’Olivo Cicchetti & Lounge, a brand-new restaurant concept, will open its doors in Inglewood, located just inside Lina’s Italian Piazza.
The spot, which is slated to open on June 24, focuses on cicchetti, a Venetian version of Italian small plates or antipasti.
“More than just small plates, cicchetti embodies a traditional social ritual, a way of life where friends gather, share stories, and appreciate small bites alongside simple and enjoyable drinks,” L’Olivo says on its website.
The menu, led by Chef Giuseppe di Gennaro, offers a wide selection of bites, including cicchetti such as crostini, bruschetta, olives and more.
However, diners will be able to enjoy heartier dishes such as pasta, lamb chops, and duck breast, accompanied by sides including polenta and broccolini.
It will be open from Tuesday to Saturday each week, so watch this space.
