20 Best Italian Restaurants in Kelowna

“Fantastic service, amazing food!“

“***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“

“We arrived late in evening to the restaurant and we were really surprised with the great service. We were a large group of 12 people, without reservation and they quickly set us a table. Janelle, our server was quick, fast, sympathetic and knew exactly what everyone had ordered. It was an amazing experience!!!“

“My family and I was looking for Italian restuarant lastnight. We google search until it lead us to this restaurant, and to be fair the food was expectacular! Kudos to the Chef, your food was delicious! Craving satisfied!

My only comment to the staff - be more welcoming and say something to your guest who's still waiting to be seated/entertain instead of staring your eyes on them and ignoring them ++. Lastnight, I felt very awkward and feel not welcome at all! Like, what the hell are you doing here! We are also customer and we will pay for our own meal. That kinda feeling!!

But once we all seated, the server who took us in and served us meal was fantastic! Overall, it was good. The food, on the other hand was deliciously satisfying“

“We are visiting from Vaughan, ON, we had the pleasure to meet Andrea, and she was fantastic. Great customer service skills, attentive and caring. She made sure we ate well and nothing was missing. She really made us feel like a client, and not just a number on the table. Thank you Andrea. Muchas Gracias. Carinho de Alessandra, Albert e Anjelica“

“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)“

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

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

“Best pizza in Kelowna!! We called in and told the staff we’re 30 minutes away from their location. The owner called us back and guaranteed a delivery with no extra cost. You can tell it’s run by a family by their customer service and quality of pizza ! 100% recommend.“

“Very nice place. Delicious chaats and burgers!“

“This is my favourite Italian shop in the area after recently returning from Italy. Excellent take out prepared Italian dishes, Italian pastas you can cook at home, lots of cheeses, olives but my personal favourite is the meatballs dish. Amazing!“

“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! ❤️“

“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!😃“

“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 ?“

“I had an absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. The quality was top-notch, and every detail was handled with professionalism. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Definitely a five-star experience, and I’ll be coming back again!“

“I always find myself coming back to Pizza Hut because of the consistently delicious pizza and the excellent service. Every visit is a great experience, and the quality of the food never disappoints. I would especially like to commend Asif for his outstanding customer service. He is always attentive, friendly, and makes sure every customer feels welcomed and well taken care of. His professionalism and positive attitude truly make each visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!“

“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!“
