15 Best Italian Restaurants in Burnaby

“Mintara atop Burnaby Mountain offers an elegant setting with unbeatable views and a sophisticated modern feel. I photographed a wedding here last year and from the panoramic vistas, to the elegant interiors, and the attentive event experts guiding the day, every moment feels special and well-curated. The food and cocktails are a hit with guests, and the flow from ceremony to reception feels effortless.“

“My friend and I had an amazing dinner at La Forchetta tonight. It is our first time there and food was so delicious! We had calamari, burrata salad and freshly made gnocchi with mushrooms paired with good wine👍!! Service was superb!! I would definitely come back to try other dishes!“

“We went here for Valentines Day Eve dinner. It was a four course meal with options for each course. We totally enjoyed the overall experience- food, ambiance, service and live music. An elegant place with an European setting and is ideal for a quiet date night out. I would choose this place anyday over the chains (except for happy hours). Totally recommend this place if you want to have an excellent meal with good service and a nice ambience.“

“Our per person meal price included appetizers, a glass of wine, and entrées. I felt it was an excellent value. I had a Caesar salad and lasagna. The Caesar salad dressing was a bit too salty, but hopefully that was just a one-off. Otherwise, it was very good. The lasagna was excellent and stayed piping hot until the last bite. My wife really enjoyed her Caprese salad and risotto.“

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

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“This is our second time at Claudios and it is so delicious every time. The carbonara is my absolute favourite. The steak, brussel sprouts and tiramisu are also fantastic. Our server Jeremy (I believe that was his name) was excellent and made our night so enjoyable. Thank you to everyone at Claudios. We will be back :)“

“One of our favourite recipes“

“Great friendly quality service.“

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

“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!“

“Gracias por alimentarme mientras estuve una semana en Vancouver, los TQM 🥹❤️“

“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!“

“I bought $ 20 2 medium pizza deal was good deal love it“
