As someone who cannot eat gluten, I was so pleasantly surprised by how many gluten free options are at Il Nido. I had the gnocchi dish with prawns and it was amazing. All service staff were lovely as well, as was the atmosphere. Will definitely come back!

The staff were very pleasant and the food was good, but the wait time between courses was exceedingly long. I like the retro heritage 50's Vancouver woodwork, but the nude photos didn't complement the decor at all. Due to the extended wait between courses, we were unable to order dessert within the 2 hour time that the table was held for. The maitre d was very rude, and could not understand that the slow service was the problem, so we ended up leaving without dessert.

We had an amazing dinner last night to celebrate my husbands birthday! The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! Loved the vibe as well! Thank you so much for accommodating us with our grandson!
