Restaurant Guide 2005

Despite its run-of-the-mill Italian name, Ciao Vito is not your average spaghetti factory. Oh, it serves spaghetti, all right—with a healthy helping of foie gras meatballs. The king of the up-and-coming Alberta restaurant scene, Ciao Vito approaches everything it does—from its spacious yet warm decor, with crystal chandeliers over the tables, to its genuine Italian fare—with an imaginative flash of luxury. Case in point: Even Ciao Vito's side of broccoli, blanched and served with garlic and crunchy sea salt, tastes opulent. (LS)
