Italian cooking rooted in tradition, plated with a modern hand.
La Torino Trattoria is where Calgary’s south end sits down to a meal worth savouring.
La Torino Trattoria
The long-held vision of owner and chef Binu Simon, La Torino Trattoria brings a refined take on Italian cooking to Calgary’s deep south. After years working in luxury hotels and fine-dining kitchens abroad, Simon moved to Calgary and eventually set out to create a neighbourhood restaurant, plated with a modern touch while still grounded in tradition. The menu leans toward the classic, with house-made pasta, slow-braised short ribs, seafood fettuccine and crisp pizzas made from scratch, alongside warm focaccia and arancini to start. Alberta meats and produce shape the local/seasonal approach, while everything from sauces to bread, is prepared in-house. It’s the kind of place that feels both special and familiar, where technique meets comfort — somewhere worth returning to.
