Amore Pasta Downtown - Edmonton

Our roots stretch much deeper than just Amore Pasta. Our father and mother were born in Italy, and immigrated to Canada in the late 1950s. Working in various restaurants to make ends meet, a strong entrepreneurial spirit developed between them. After years of hard work and determination, our first family restaurant “Galileo” opened on Whyte Avenue, Edmonton, in 1986. Soon after, we opened two more restaurants in Penticton, B.C; ‘Nicolas’ and ‘Scampi’s Bistro’. Through a decade of growing, developing, and learning, we decided to centralize with our family here in Edmonton in 2006 after our mother fell ill.

It is an incredible experience to enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of your very own pasta creation, and it works.  

Continuing to build our dream, in 2018 we added our Downtown Edmonton Amore Pasta location in the MNP Tower, as well as Papa Giuseppe Kitchen and Catering. Most recently, in 2020 we opened our Amore Pasta Northside location, and now we are looking to expand across Canada and the USA. Built on family values, hard work, and a whole lot of heart, we are committed to making a difference in our community through our amazing food. We strive to provide an incredible experience for every person who walks through our door, and make them …
