l Nido in Vancouver is an absolute gem! We came here as a family (me, my wife, and our 11-year-old son) and the pasta dishes completely blew us away. Every forkful was a total flavour explosion – the Amatriciana had the perfect smoky-spicy kick, the carbonara was rich and creamy without being heavy, and the kid’s spaghetti with house-made meatballs disappeared in record time because the sauce was so incredibly tasty. My son actually said “Dad, this is better than pizza!”...

Tucked away this little gem is a must dinning experience to add to your go to list. We had live piano and such a cost atmosphere. The food was beautiful and service amazing and friendly.

Came for dinner on a week night and the 3 of us were the only diners. Seemed a bit odd. The food was actually pretty decent, shared a tomato le burrata salad (decent for winter tomatoes), arancini (ok, served a bit cool) and some pastas. I had a clam fettuccine that was quite good but a bit salty. Overall decent but I wouldn't hunt it out again. Might be nice during the summer on the patio
