    First visit to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We went early to take advantage of their happy hour. We were able to try a lot of different things. The shrimp scampi was delicious, and the fries!!! We ordered 2, we like them so much. We also tried the pecorino & olives, elk meatballs, east coast oysters, and the bison tagliatelle bolognese. Everything was delicious. The waitress Cody was a gem. She was knowledgeable about the menu, the wine, and she was super friendly and engaging. We will definitely be back whenever we visit Banff.

    This is our second visit to La Terrazza Restaurant. It was very good, just as last time. Ibon Quinoy was our waiter, he was amazing. He is one of the best waiters my wife and I have had anywhere. He was conversational, answered any questions we had about the menu. I had the Italian Short Rib and my wife had the Beet & Parsnip Soup. The food was "soooo good". We first started with the winter salad. We had the winter salad last time at la Terrazza and it was so good, we had to have it again. La Terrazza will always be on our list of restaurants to eat at in Banff.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Lupo on our last night in Banff and we regret not having eaten there sooner. The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely. It evokes a European piazza ambiance. The staff were friendly, attentive and did a great job. The food was delicious, fresh and the presentation was delightful. We will definitely be eating there again next time we’re in Banff. Lupo should not be missed out on.
