Went here for the first time for dinner on a weekday and it was packed with people. Make sure to make reservations if going on a weekend. The food you can tell was made with love and care and felt homemade. Service was warm and prices were solid. Would definitely come back to try other dishes.

The food was absolutely delicious however our service was the real highlight. Jacob went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing meal after a little mishap in the beginning. I can’t wait to come back and have another amazing meal

A great Italian spot near Como Lake area! The pizza with its thin crust and fresh ingredients is fantastic—definitely the best I've found within a 15-20 minute drive from Surrey. The carbonara is okay, but I'm hoping to try a better pasta option in their menu. The service is always friendly and welcoming. I visit almost every month for the excellent pizza and warm atmosphere!

First time coming here ,as a coworker highly recommended this restaurant. My family and I came for dinner a couple weeks ago, after making resv's months in advance ,as needed. We were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant temperature was quite chilly ,the tables were a solid, hard stone which absorbed the ambient temperature and were also quite cold to the touch. The place was really bright and had a cafe or diner vibe to it.
Shortly after being seated we recieved complimentary focaccia bread with oil, and vinegar. The bread was fresh and had good flavour.
After a short wait we received our meals. They came out to the table steaming hot but after having 2 or 3 bites, the food went from steaming hot to really cold rather quickly.. I flagged down our waitress and mentioned this and asked to get it reheated. To which she suggested she could put it in a take out container and I could just take it home instead. I declined her offer as we were there for a family get to together.and had all just received our meals moments ago.
The pasta dish was remade and once again came to the table steaming hot. But once again became cold very quickly..
The portion sizes left alot to be desired. The tortellinis were quite small in size and served in a very shallow dish The food had good flavour and the pasta was cooked Al dente, which wasn't to everyone's liking, but I didn't mind.

The ground pepper was a plastic ground pepper shaker from the grocery store with a Golden Boot sticker covering the label. The powdered Parmasean cheese was in a metal shaker ,like you would see on the counter at the take out pizza shop.
Not a horrible experience but for the prices being at par or above other well known establishments, there's room for improvement.

Came here for dinner tonight and we were impressed. We got lucky as we showed up early without a reservation and someone left as we walked in and got the only available table. The service was excellent. The pasta was really really good. Fresh made hot and lots of flavourful sauce. We will for sure be back to this family run restaurant. You can see they have pride in their food.

Had dinner here last night with two friends. I had the lasagna, one of us had the tagliatelle with creamy mushroom sauce and one of had gnocchi with bolognese sauce. We shared the mixed greens (loved the dressing and salad). All the food was exceptional! Too stuffed to even share dessert, but I've had the tiramisu many times and even taken a container to go!
Thank you for another outstanding and delicious meal.
Service is always very good. Keep doing what you do, cuz you do it very well!

Simple restaurant serving very good basic Italian food mostly pizza and pasta. There are so many places serving a good pizza, but not so many serving a good pasta. Well this is one of them. Their pasta dishes are just great, home made fresh pasta with amazingly good sauces. The fact that it’s always full up means something and very reasonable prices.
We’re from Malta and travel to Italy twice a year, and the food here is as good as any Italian trattoria.
We’re on holiday and wife’s sister lives just down the road from this restaurant and she suggested it to us. She said that the place was always very good. We will be back.

Nice little place here, food was very rich, heavy on the cheese. Would be nice to see some variety on the menu. Service was poor, unable to describe anything on the menu, didn't know what the specials were, forgot our drinks, and just an uninterested demeanor.

The Golden Boot is a cozy traditional Italian restaurant in Coquitlam. This small, charming restaurant offers a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes, all made with fresh and delicious ingredients. The food is consistently great, and you can tell they take pride in their recipes. This place has been a staple in Coquitlam for many decades, serving the community with authentic Italian flavors. Pasta and pizza.
It’s the perfect spot for a cozy meal. Great staff. Worth the wait when it’s busy. Friendly staff.

I’ve consistently had a good experience here (over 20 years), and I like that the pasta is cooked traditionally (al dente) and I love that it is made fresh daily. Bravissimo ? ❤️
