Cassio's Italian Restaurant
Anna and Mike prepare real Italian cuisine to order from old family recipes at this friendly and casual restaurant. Dishes are prepared from fresh ingredients and Alberta products are used wherever possible. Special requests are welcome, and gluten-free pasta and vegetarian choices are available. Windowside tables offer a view of Jasper's heritage train station framed by mountains and counter seats line the mid restaurant bar. Wines are offered by the 250ml quartino (sample two or three selections), half litre and bottle from a select menu. Reservations are not required.
