4 Best Italian Restaurants near Bowen Island

“Had two dinners at Tuscany when we were in Bowen, both outstanding. Love the 8” size pizza, had fantastic toppings and a great crust. Linguine with lemon cream also wonderful. Service top notch, friendly and informative. Highly recommend a table on the delightful patio if the weather permits. Book early, this place was fully booked on both nights we visited.“

“Such wonderful authentic Italian cuisine loved the Cacio E Peppe and the Alba pizza and Hot Italian Pizza and Burrata.“

“Had the most amazing chewy gluten-free pizza! It was so good you didn't miss the regular thing. Also the different mixes of Negroni cocktails were on point. Thanks for the great experience.“

“I'm a student at UBC and I usually order the penne pesto here, and it's actually really yummy! The pasta is consistently very creamy and savoury, the texture of the pasta is quite al dente, and the serving is rather generous and is able to sate my hunger. The food is also prepared at a really quick pace (like within 4-5 minutes), which is good because as a student, I can't really stick around in the same place for too long, so it's a really nice place to drop by when you have a 1 hour break between classes and need something good to eat.
I also tried the lamb shawarma which is also nice! But the penne pesto holds a special place in my heart and that's usually my go-to.“
