Christian was the gentleman that serviced my friend and I for a birthday celebration. He was very professional and made us feel at home. We were also not rushed and therefore enjoyed our dining experience. The food was authentic, and the atmosphere reminded me of my time in Italy. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much Il Nido and Christian!

We went to IL NIDO with a group of friend, food and service top notch.Let yourself be welcomed and guided by Christian for an excellent dining experience.Will be
Service was top notch and the food was just as great. Definitely will come back. Prices were a bit high for some pasta dishes but the taste was incredible. Small little gem in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Robson and Thurlow. Grazie a tutti per l'ottimo servizio.

My husband and I were downtown(we live in Surrey) for a play and had no real plans for dinner. As we had taken transit down, we were on foot, and super early. We started walking, just looking for a place to have dinner. We saw the sign for Red Robin, and resigned ourselves to going there. That was until hubby saw the sign for Il Nido. We had never heard of Il Nido, and decided to take a chance. What a super pleasant surprise Il Nido was. We were welcomed right away, seated right away, even though we did not have a reservation. There was beautiful piano music playing, and we were treated like we family. And then the food….OMG!! It was so good! I had the house made gnocchi, pillowy soft, and chewy, with spinach and mushrooms in a rose sauce. Hubby had seafood risotto, perfect cooked clams, mussels and prawns. It was amazing!! And we finished off with tiramisu. We will definitely be returning!!Vegetarian options: So many vegetarian options!!!Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free options which is right on the menu, and they asked if we had any allergies, we did not have to ask.

My boyfriend and I found this place online, we chose it because of the raving reviews about the gluten free options (which did NOT disappoint!) the service was incredible, very attentive. The live music was quite nice as well.However, after reading quite a few reviews about the “intimate atmosphere” I feel I must put a warning out there for any unsuspecting persons like me- the walls are covered in photos of naked women. You can’t look anywhere without seeing a bare body. I personally don’t agree with this style of “art”; but if this does not bother you, you will enjoy your date!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Penne Bolognese was fantastic! tastes as if it’s made with gluten ;)Kid-friendliness: IMO this restaurant is not kid friendly, due to the “art pieces” of naked people on the walls. Unless you choose to eat outside.

Made a reservation here on OpenTable for my girlfriends 30th birthday. I ordered the gnocchi and she had a risotto, both were delicious. Service was great and the waiter brought a complementary dessert with a birthday candle.
Calamar was perfect, pastas were good but mine was so greasy so i couldn’t finish it. We tried coctails but we needed to drink very fast because kitchen and place closed at 9:00pm. I liked its atmosphere but I think prices were a bit expensive.

The pianist is making the place nice, also the waiters are very caring and friendly. We expected more about the food, it was nothing special. The taste was plane in the meatballs. My gnocchi were good but heavy to digest.

A Seattle friend recommended this restaurant. We happened to be walking by it around noon and decided to have lunch. We had excellent food (seafood linguine with ink pasta; seafood gnocchi, spinach ravioli) and excellent service from Manager Christian. We may return for dinner. Appreciate the recommendation and now pass it along to others.

While the food is pricey, it was delicious. Had the steak and it was so tender and soft. Went in a big group so tips were automatically included. Service was good and the restaurant was mostly empty (only 2 other tables) when we went from 12pm to 3pm on a Tuesday.
