    Very impressed with your visit to The Fat Ox. We didn't plan specifically to be there for happy hour but we took advantage of the small plates menu and ordered seven or eight different items. We thoroughly enjoyed all, the shrimp scampi dish, and the gorgonzola gnocchi were our favorites. Service was great, atmosphere was great, all in all we were very happy.

    Second time here. First time in September … had great food and service and vowed to be back. We did in December. Roasted broccoli is still GREAT. So is the duck with a hint of curry. This restaurant is a “must try” if you come to Banff and stay for dinner. Wife and I will come back again next year.

    First class service, scenery and food. If I could change anything it might have been to book for lunch instead of dinner, just to soak up the magnificent scenery.

    Lupo's Italian Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is packed with classic dishes, and everything we tried was exceptional. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the wine selection was spot-on. We finished with a perfect tiramisu. Whether for a special occasion or a casual meal, Lupo's is a must-visit for Italian food lovers. Highly recommended!
