20 Best Italian Restaurants in Kelowna

“Excellent meal and great service. Food is fresh and delicious.“

“***MUST VISIT*** Skip the airfare and customs lines and treat yourself to the Dulce Vita! Harwinder left his native India as a young man to pursue the culinary path in Naples. Learning from the best he spent 20+ years thrilling guests with his passion for perfection, using high quality ingredients and meticulously following the Italian tradition of simple elegance. From Napoli to the stunning shores of the Okanagan La Vela Pizzeria delivers authenticity with its imported wood fired oven, best quality Italian ingredients and his decades of expertise. Truly one of the BEST experiences we’ve had in BC! Just watch the line ups and listen to the melodic Italian being spoken- it’s a beautiful thing! If you’re a Pane Vino Pizzeria fan, share the love of this amazing cuisine twinning in Kelowna. Forza Azzurri! 🏆❤️🔥 🇮🇹 🍕 Thank you so much for the absolute warm service Harwinder, Kira, Amrit and Elissa! Elissa thank you for taking such good care of us and for the limoncello!“

“Went there for my gf and mines 2 year anniversary, and it was absolutely amazing. It’s an Italian and Korean restaurant, two of our favourites. She ordered the gnocchi alfredo and I had the braised pork shoulder. I’m a cook myself, so I don’t say this lightly, but it was one of the most delicious things I ever had the pleasure to eat. Definitely will be checking them out again because all their menu items sound just as good. Highly recommend to everyone“

“This restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience that perfectly balances flavor, service, and ambiance. The spaghetti was outstanding—al dente pasta paired with a rich, well-seasoned sauce that spoke of authentic Italian craftsmanship. Service was impeccable, with staff demonstrating genuine warmth and attention to detail. The atmosphere is remarkable, featuring a vintage, prestigious aesthetic that elevates the entire experience and creates a sense of timeless elegance. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates classic Italian cuisine executed with precision and care“

“We were celebrating a special occasion and were treated royally. Luigi offered us a special treat of wine and chef sent out a special treat of zucchini blossoms filled with ricotta which we enjoyed. The veal Marsala never fails to impress and the chicken was perfectly done as were the prawns. We asked for linguine Ala vongole which was prepared and served as an appetizer. The evening was perfect“

“Truly one of the best venues for live entertainment in Kelowna. Always been my favourite pizza place too. The pickle Rick is to die for!!! So proud of the owners for rising above adversity and creating a beautiful, warm safe place for EVERYONE to enjoy. Dunnenzies is not only a pizza place/restaurant/bar/live venue but it is a COMMUNITY and a beautiful, loving, supportive one at that. I am so grateful to be able to host my monthly paint n sip event there. Also amazing staff and management and did I mention the pickle Rick?! (Also tried it with the garlic aioli dip last night DYING 🤤🤤 was so good)“

“best place to get pizza. has been my all time favourite place to go in kelowna since i was a kid, even better now that they have this cute cat robot to bring you your pizza that places Italian restaurant music. that is a unique and fun experience considering not maybe places in kelowna have something like that. the staff are nice and one had told me she loves working there which is always nice to know your food isn’t being served/cooked by people who hate their jobs. check this place out. great for a family outing. the lighting also is very romantic and i have taken my boyfriend here quite a lot for dates and it always seems to make the night extra special. you’re also able to take frozen pizza home to cook even you’d like , which is also super unique to this restaurant.“

“Mamma Lyn wanted a classy night in Italy so we took her to Mamma Rosa Restaurant! Candle light, classic songs and jovial laughter filled the air, Chianti sipped and fresh handmade pasta plated… Viva Italia! It began as a dream, first gelato shop then that cozy culinary treat serving nonna’s recipes since 1984 when Rosa and Giacomo Anfuso brought their love of Sicily to the beautiful okanagan. Son James joined the vision for many years keeping the tradition alive until passing the torch to Mansor Abrahim (Padova University, Antico Napoletana, Pane Vino) this January. Best local and imported ingredients, fresh chicken and veal with Rosa’s signature recipes and homemade daily sauces, sausages, and pasta- it’s in great hands! Thank you Chef for visiting the table! Lovely service and wonderful food! Thank you Kate and Arisha for your warm and fun hospitality! 🏆❤️🍷🥖🍝 Can’t wait to come back! Reminiscent of our NYC, Philly, Chicago, San Fran, Montreal, Toronto gems. Very much like Ralph’s in Philly! ❤️“

“It’s not a trip to Kelowna without dropping by for their Breakfast or Gelato! Great service, great food A must visit!!!“

“Today i ordered shahi paneer pizza. it is very tastey great pizza“

“The samosas? Crispy, flaky, and bursting with flavor. The chutneys? Fresh, tangy, and addictive. And don't even get me started on the pav bhaji - it's like a taste explosion in your mouth!“

“It started out as Mr.Mozzerella and became Villages Pizza that raised our eybrows but after our first order and bite man were we in for a surprise! Not only have they surpassed our previous experience with an exceptionally good pizza, they have now raised the bar to the point where we have yet to find an equivalent here in Ktown.
Absouletly the best around...always full of fresh and tasty ingredients, lots of great cheese, excellent sause, and to top if off always made to your specifications. Can't say enough about how mush we love their pizza. Best around and always with a smile.
Kudos to Vilages at Kane!!“

“Thanks to the fantastic Team at Villages, Sunday August 28th evening. The pizza was some of the best we've had in a long time. So much flavor, right down to the dough. Exceptional! And the Team working that night were fantastic, supplying plates, napkins without us even asking. Everything needed for dinner on the beach. Thanks, we will be back again - and will spread the word!“

“Jade & her team are always super friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend the meatball sub as it is amazing and I get it every time I’m there! Their coffees are pretty great as well, and they offer a wide selection of different food items!“

“We stopped in for happy hour/early dinner today on the back deck and had the best service from Abby! We live in the area and have always had great food and service at Famoso. I have been meaning to leave reviews in the past, and today decided I would. The pizza amd mearballs were superb and wine and beer excellent and very decent prices! Sweet Abby made our experience extra special today! Will see you again soon! Thanks Abby and Famoso staff ?“

“Went To Pizza Hut To Purchase Two Medium Size Pizzas. Got A Great Discount On My Pizza. Was Going To Be $50.00 But Only Paid $25.00. This Was An Unexpected Coupon And A Big Surpise. The Service As Well, A Employee Name Sonu Kumar Is A Very Good And Fast Pace Worker And Pizza Took Roughly Less Than 10 Minutes. Both Pizza Were Made Very Well, And Delicious!

In Conclusion, Great Service, Lucky Discounts, And Fast Pace!“

“The staff was friendly, clean restaurant, the pizza was great. We are retired and after church at the Bridge my wife treated me to the a large Hawaiian pizza because they had some great specials us old retired folks can afford occasionally. Well the pizza surprised me and surpassed my expectations - wonderful crust, nice sauce, and generous toppings right to the edge. I would recommend you try it for yourself!😃“

“This pizza hut location always make me satisfied with my favourite pizza, it’s always well done 👍🏻. Rupinder is very friendly, provides great customer service and she always makes sure that everything just right with my order. Thank you Rupinder for everything you do for your customers!“

“I recently visited Pizza Hut, and I had a fantastic experience! The pizza was delicious, as always, but what really stood out was the exceptional service from John, one of the staff members. John was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit, ensuring we had everything we needed and even offering some great recommendations. His positive attitude and professionalism made the meal even more enjoyable. If you're visiting this location, I highly recommend asking for John—his service truly sets this Pizza Hut apart!

I'll definitely be coming back again !“
