Italian Restaurants near Qualicum Beach

“We were looking for a place to hold a small gathering with family and friends to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We LOVE Thalassa. So we asked Ooara if they would accommodate us!! And they did NOT disappoint us!! When we arrived, the room was all set up perfectly! We added a few personal touches and voila...perfection! We had appies to start, followed by a fluffy salad, and a wonderful ham and scalloped potatoes with fresh veggies ...all of which were wonderfully prepared and served to us! The portions were very generous! Throughout the evening they served wine, drinks, tea and coffee. And to top it all off, they served us a yummy “ anniversary” cake, fresh from the Bakery in Ladysmith!! I almost forgot to mention the exceptional view we enjoyed from our party...the ocean and golf course..what more could we ask for!! The chef and staff were so amazing and outdid themselves in delivering exactly what we wanted!! All in all, it was a perfect place to have our gathering. We all totally enjoyed ourselves. We would HIGHLY recommend Thalassa, for gatherings large or small!! Thank you Thalassa and staff...you are extra special to us!! Mary and Larry Wade Craig Bay“

“We are a party of 6 with hungry young adults and teens. We arrived 45 minutes before close, they got us in, served us so fast and the food was amazing. Nothing felt rushed and the experience was very enjoyable. Family platter ceasar salad is a great way to go! Servings satisfied our huge appetites. When you think of an amazing Italian restaurant this is what pops up in your imagination. Really great find in a quirky area!“
