There’s a New Contemporary Italian Restaurant in Calgary’s Downtown West End

If you live, work or play in downtown Calgary and are looking for a new restaurant to try, the newly opened Mille Restaurant and Café may be just the spot.

Owned by Jenna Bazzana of the now-closed Sauce Italian Kitchen and Market, this new Italian restaurant and café is located in Plaza 1000, a freshly renovated office building in Calgary’s Downtown West End area. When you enter the office tower, you’ll find yourself immediately inside Plaza 1000’s spacious, boutique-style lobby with comfortable lounge seating. Directly across from the lobby is Mille, which has a bar inside the indoor restaurant seating area and an outdoor patio.

The menu reflects contemporary, elevated Italian cuisine. Expect lunch options like antipasti, sandwiches, salads and pasta, as well as dinner dishes such as a 24-month aged prosciutto di parma, scottadito (lamb lollipops) or the salsiccia pasta with housemade spicy Italian sausage.

With a bustling downtown location that’s steps away from the C-Train, plus a dress code that calls for “evening chic” attire, Mille is a great option for a mid-afternoon espresso, business lunch or a night out.
