The search for amazing pasta stopped here because Autostrada pasta has PERFECTLY delicious pasta. As usual, the daily specials are something that I always love to eat, because I trust that the chefs know what they want to make and what they are willing to try to put out there. And tbh that is exactly what we ordered the other night when I was there. When we arrived at the restaurant, the first thing I smelled that was GUSHING from the restaurant was the butter. I loved it so much, you know you are at the perfect place for pasta when butter was the first thing you smelled. The vibe of the restaurant really give me Yaletown, downtown, and granted it is where it is located especially with SO MANY WINDOWS that literally spreads across the restaurant. On top of that, the typical Vancouver downtown audience visits this establishment on the daily with the Yaletown botox clientele and the gentlemen who wears glasses indoors. Yup, no surprise there at all. But I do love the atmosphere of the corner booth seats with multiple families eating style, so they at least kept that close to their chests. Yay. The server Katie was slaying the house down with her fit that night. Bright green pants with a very cute top and her PINK NAILS are everything. I love a trendy server who can slay the house down! She was very knowledgeable about the menu as well, and answered all my questions, and she has a good vibe and extremely attentive to the table as well. Love that for her. We ordered the daily Ripena for the night, daily stuffed pasta, which was kind of a mezza luna beef ripena, and the sauce was a very condensed chicken broth with tons of butter to it. My god, it was delicious. To top it all off, it was cooked PERFECTLY AL DENTE!!! YES! I AM SO HAPPY. Another place that cooks their pasta al dente, with a VERY good bite to it and I was just happy. The other pasta we ordered was the daily Fusilini with a tomato based sauce with spicy sausages. The tomato sauce was filled right into the nooks and crannys of the fusilini and on top of that the umami flavour was just BURSTING with each bite. It was perfectly cooked and extremely delicious! I was so happy at the end of eating BOTH dishes and extremely satisfied. I will be back soon this summer for more perfectly cooked pasta. And do recommend this place for sure as the go to for pasta from now on! YES!!

Favourites: Stuff Pasta, Seasonal Dolci and the Latte were all very nice, we love our server too (love her green pants). Too soon for me to comment, will have to return as we were to stuffed from HH. General note: all the dishes tasted like it's using real ingredients (not from packages and reheated/msg etc...), their sauces and esp the stuff pasta all tasted handmade and with house made broth. The dessert, the chocolate mousse ganache bottom, the minced dried fruit with it's mince nuts were done so in care (no dusty bit's from a processor, done with a sharp nice so there is such nice clean textures with out mushing the nut oil), the creme on top is not over mixed and oily served in quenelle shaped. Last note: The bathroom lighting needs more wattage, it is very very dim.

The attentive staff and impeccable service added to the overall enjoyment of my meal. I appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience.For pasta enthusiasts looking for a top-tier culinary adventure, Autostrada is a must-visit destination. I left the restaurant thoroughly impressed and eager to return to savor more of their delectable offerings.Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My friend and I tried this place for the very first time. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the food is fantastic, and the service is great. There is also a tasting menu, but we opted for 1 starter and 2 mains with a Negroni. I am impressed with how everything was just the right amount. We started with the Duck Liver Parfait, which came with a chutney and crostinis. The server saw that we were running low on crostinis with more of the parfait to spare, and as a result, he brought us more to remedy the problem. We had the lingcod and risotto with scallops for our main, and both were perfectly cooked. To make things more spectacular, we saw the spinning chandelier from our seats. I would love to come back, especially during patio season, to try other menu items. I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian fine dining with decent portion sizes!

Autostrada continues to be amazing, and we are so glad we decided to end 2023 with dinner at the Vancouver House location. Their staff offers the best service you can get at a Michelin star, the food was absolutely amazing (as it always is) and the atmosphere was alive. Bottom line, they have it all and you will have the best experience, every time, and any time you visit. Thank you Antonia, Ash, Bowen, Hannah, Katie, Morgan, Simona, and the rest of the Autostrada Team - you make the Foodie World Go Around ?
The food was authentic Italian cuisine delivered with a smile, staff was so accommodating and knowledgeable in wine pairing. Excellent experience for this regular patron!

We love this place so much! The food, atmosphere and staff are 10 out of 10. We cannot recommend this place enough. Our favourite is the bolognese and the Ricotta. They always have exceptional wine on the menu.
I gave lower rating since it is not a child friendly restaurant. Have no high chairs.And the guy who was in charge … his attitude stunk ! This was on Dec. 30, 2023 between 5.30 and 7.15 pm.
