Jun 15 2026, 4:48 pm

Almost two years after opening its doors, an Italian restaurant has shared the news that it has closed.

Lina’s Trattoria, an Italian restaurant brought to life by Lina’s Market, revealed that it would be closing, after first opening its doors in August 2024.

“To our wonderful Calgary community, serving you has been the honor of a lifetime. You turned our dream into a reality, and we are eternally grateful for every meal and memory shared,” the team said.

However, it’s not the end of the line for the Centre Street space, as ownership of the restaurant has now transferred to another YYC Italian restaurant favourite, Scarpetta Cucina.

“While saying goodbye is bittersweet, we are absolutely thrilled that this space is staying within Calgary’s incredible Italian culinary community. We know they are going to bring pure magic to these walls,” the Lina’s team added.

While it’s sad to see the restaurant go, we’re looking forward to seeing what Scarpetta will be cooking up in the new space.
