14 Best Italian Restaurants in Burnaby

“We hosted our wedding at Mintara on Burnaby mountain in September and have nothing but rave reviews! If you are thinking of hosting your wedding here - do it!

Carissa and the rest of the Mintara team were so helpful, caring and truly went out of their way to make sure us and our guests had the best day. Throughout the planning process, Carissa was so responsive in answering any questions we had, but also making recommendations to ensure our day was smooth. Also the food was delicious - and we received so many compliments from our guests! 10/10 wedding venue :)“

“We had a lovely dinner my friend was treating me for a late birthday dinner the service was impeccable the food very 😋 yummy. It was my first time but certainly not the last The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere We were treated to a birthday treat on the house Thank you 😊“

“Great foods, very attentive service, will definitely come back more often since it’s so close to home!“

“Absolutely loved my experience at L’Astria. The wine selection was well-curated and paired perfectly with the meal. The pasta was fresh, rich, and full of authentic Italian flavor — you can tell it’s made with care. And the tiramisu? Easily one of the best I’ve had — light, creamy, and just the right touch of sweetness. Beautiful ambiance and attentive service made the whole evening memorable. Highly recommend for anyone craving a true Italian dining experience.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cioffi’s Cucina consistently delivers excellence across every aspect of its operation. From the deli and meat department to the restaurant, the quality is exceptional — always fresh, authentic, and served with genuine hospitality. Their customer service is among the best in Vancouver. If you’re looking for Italian products and they don’t carry what you need, they’ll gladly source it for you. A true gem for anyone seeking quality, variety, and outstanding service. Highly recommended.“

“By far one of the best Italian restaurants in the greater Vancouver area. I order weekly, and make sure to bring every out of province visitor for a good time with outstanding food. During my last visit, we had lots of nonnas eating there for a birthday celebration, which shows the authenticity of the food.

If I were to say anything not great, is that I wish they were open later than 9 pm.“

“Food is amazing so are the shakes nice staff and seating area .. 👌❤️“

“I tried this place when they first opened but wasn't impressed by the food. But I live very close by and decided to give them another shot. First off the service from the moment I walked in the door was warm and welcoming. Especially since I just came from the gym and wasn't exactly dressed for dining. I asked for the best pasta dish, the host recommended the Cavatelli boscaiola and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The flavour was on point! Personally I realize that I'm not a fan of thick pasta so will probably order spaghetti or Linguini next time. I look forward to dining here soon since I did take out this time.“

“Good location in North Burnaby/SFU. Best pizza in Burnaby. Thick cheese, friendly service, fresh toppings. Will order from again. Thank you.“

“One of our favourite recipes“

“An online order for some reason sent it to this location instead of one closer to me. When I called, the girl explained that the Doordash drivers were refusing to deliver it because it was a 15 min drive away (instead of 8 min). The staffer organized another driver and made a fresh pizza to deliver it. Overall it took about 3 hours total from order to arrival, but the staffer did her best to manage the situation. Big thanks to her!“

“Great friendly quality service.“

“The sesame seeds on the crust are what distinguish their pizzas. Numerous pizza varieties are available for selection. T
Delicious pizzas , I enjoyed the flavour I tried. I adore the wide range of flavours! I was Having trouble choose because they all seem so delicious! I had never been here before, but it was really handy because it was close to the Skytrain station! Each taste is incredibly fulfilling! Many thanks! Recommending to everyone ! ❤️❤️“

“What an unforgettable experience! Manager Bairen or Bryan (not sure if I got the name right) was amazing. He took extra steps to take care of the customers. We’ll definitely order from this place whenever we want pizza.Here is the story, I am visiting my senior parents from San Francisco. After picking up the pizza, my parents had a harder time chewing because it’s too thin and too crispy for them. Not sure what went wrong, I called Pizza Hot. The manager explained there are 3 different kinds of crusts and what my parents had before probably was hand crafted which is between the thin and pan crust. And he offered to bake a new hand crafted crust for my senior parents so they can enjoy.Really appreciate what the manager did for us!“
