Our Story
Serving Calgarians Authentic Italian Food
Founded in 1958 by the Iamartino family, Great West Italian Importers has grown from a small family business into a culinary institution in Calgary, comprising The Italian Store and Scarpone’s Quality Italian Foods. Today, the second generation continues the legacy, offering a rich selection of European goods.
The store is a destination for fresh local and imported meats and cheeses, café and bakery, catering, and a wide selection of grocery and take home meals. We are proud to maintain a deep culinary connection to the community and Italian heritage.
