Inside Cucina, a 50-seat Italian bistro, Calgary residents find a menu that spans all day and all tastes. But whether there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they'll be sure to find local, organic meats and produces, right down to the rich coffee in their mug. That's provided by Fratello Coffee Roasters, not 7 kilometers away. Read on for a quick look at the menu:

• Breakfast: Sweet teeth might enjoy the banana french toast with salted caramel and vanilla whipped cream; more savory mornings can be had with an open-faced breakfast sandwich topped with a fresh egg, chicken, and apple sausage.
• Lunch and Dinner: Pasta passions are subdued by linguini alla carbonara made with double-smoked bacon; to get to the meat of the matter Alberta Prime beef rib steak is roasted with bone marrow jus to taste.
• Drinks A massive menu of beer and wine, available by the glass or the bottle
• On the Go? Cucina's attached market café offers a wealth of fresh-made Italian favorites that are always ready to roll.
