I really liked the decor of the restaurant and the service from the staff was superb. However, the place does get very busy. It becomes quite crowded and noisy as we eat. But that is understandable as the food here is not bad and the prices are expensive, but still within reason for decent Italian food.The appetizer and sides were delicious, I absolutely loved the way that the asparagus was cooked and seasoned, while the appetizer we got was really good, the only suggestion I have for that is to make the croutons softer and it would be a perfect dish. The entrees were quite flavourful and the textures of the meat and noodles were perfect, my main complaint I have is that both of those dishes were too salty. Although, I really appreciated the server addressed and remedied the issue for us. The roasted strawberry gelato was absolutely fantastic and I would definitely recommend it. Overall, this was a nice restaurant and I would revisit.
Best Italian dish I ever had.each dish has lots of flavor from fresh ingredients.It was pretty much enough for share as Huge amount ever dish.Plating was awesome.I was really enjoying dinner with my friendThank you very much for all your service ?☺️
What a wonderful birthday dinner, staff made me feel special with special touches like a card and candle on sherbet. Beautiful meal.
This is the second time we tried this place; In the first time, we tried the DINE ‘ALLA FAMIGLIA’, we were introduced to watermelon with balsamic vinegar, we liked it, but then the main course was a disappointment, the fish was over-cooked, the other vegetable dish and dessert were just average. $70 per person was quite expensive for the sole discovery of watermelon with balsamic vinegar. We thought, it must be us, this place is so popular that you need to book a few weeks in advance! So we decided to give it a second chance. This time, we went along with a friend. #1: "Burrata, agrodolce rhubarb, pickled spruce tips, intosso olive oil, focaccia". The burrata and focaccia were nice, but they were really stingy on the rhubarb and spruce tips. Inflation is evil, I understand, so I do not want to be tough on that, top marks for the burrata still. #2: "Garlic knots, pecorino romano, pepe nero". All we could taste were dough and cheese, cannot taste garlic at all. #3: "Glorious spring greens, elderflower, marcona almonds, piave", it was quite nice, the vegetables were fresh, and the dressing was very good. Mains: "Agnolotti dal plin, chicken & pork, red wine, crispy sage" and "Tortelli, bone marrow & potato, nettles, taleggio, walnuts, swiss chard", could not taste chicken, pork, bone marrow,... both dishes were dominated by the tough, doughy pasta. If that is what traditional Italian pasta is supposed to be - "al dente", then that's not our cup of tea. The portion was small. We didn't bother with dessert. The bill ended up around $150. Service was good, the setting was comfortable, but we were disappointed with the pasta dishes. May be we ordered the wrong things, too bad, I don't think I will try this restaurant again.
Had a fantastic 5 course dining menu based on your likes/dislikes and you don’t know what your having until it’s put in front of you. If you’re an adventurous eater, this is the place to go. Will definitely go when I’m next in Vancouver!
Food flavours and presentation were incredible! Servers were exceptional! Definitely made my wife's birthday a memorable experience. Would have ordered more of the menu if I wasn't so full. Servings were healthy. Very nice decor and atmosphere. Will come again for sure. Possibly best meal out all year!
Excellent, on all fronts. Great atmosphere and decor, not too loud, friendly and knowledgeable staff. We dined Alla Famiglia, and our server Rob chose the most amazing dishes for us, and paired our drinks to our meal perfectly. All the food was sublime, and the birthday card was such a special touch. Can’t wait to come back!
We selected the chefs choice 5 course meal. Our server (Blanca, who was fantastic) inquired about our likes and dislikes and then went off to the kitchen. Every course was a surprise, and each one did not disappoint. All five courses were SPECTACULAR. Like truly 5-star amazing. The portions were generous... Our waistbands were popping by the time the 4th course arrived. But we couldn't help but continue our meal, it was all so delicious. Would highly recommend the chefs choice ($75pp) as it was a great value and was fun to guess what might come out next (all dishes were from the menu). The wine was also excellent, and even though we were stuffed, ordered espresso which rivalled the coffee we've had in Italy. Overall a spectacular experience and great service to boot. Will return asap!
Incredible service, fun atmosphere, good food. We got the course menu for a group of three people and upgraded our main to the strip loin. Definitely had a great experience and our server even brought out an extra salad to challenge my dislike for kale!Only criticism: Would have liked to have more dessert options given it was a group of three (had to share 1 delicious tiramisu). As full as we were, there’s always room for dessert :)
Best pasta and service in Vancouver! Can’t wait to go again
