Cioppino's Mediterranean Grill

I had an amazing meal there recently, having celebrated my partners birthday. Service was attentive and the food was amazing as always!

Great service, great food. Some dishes were much better than others. I rank the ones I had as 1) Eggplant with Burrata 2) Tiramisu 2) Lobster Pasta 4) Carbonara Risotto 5) Gnocchi Cacio e pepe. Expensive though - $100pp.

Service was phenomenal, Chef Pino was very friendly and great with food allergies. Was not the hugest fan of the set menu and I expected higher quality and quantity food for the exorbitant price tag. Nice to experience this Vancouver staple prior to its closing though.

Love this place! Some of the absolute best Italian food I have ever had ??

High fancy and worth the price. Everything was really really good. The Bolognese was perfect - rich, meaty, fresh noodles, great Parmesan added. The Duck Lasagna was like a savoury pulled pork with lots of rich tomato sauce (and I love everything about that). The veal scaloppini with mushrooms was so moist and savoury. Umami galore. It came with a bit of mashed potatoes and broccoli on the side which was nice too. They give you really nice crusty house bread with a chickpea dip to start. I asked for balsamic vinegar and olive oil too and they brought that as well.

Recommend the Tiramisu and melted heart chocolate cake for dessert. The tiramisu comes with a delicious coffee foam and dark chocolate sorbet - yum! Next time I hope to try the off-menu chocolate soufflé.

The cocktail list is beautiful and my cocktail was fantastic ?? They also have my steadfast Coca Cola in a can ??

Tons of staff everywhere and all of them are super nice, super charming, and super attentive.

My first experience at Cioppino’s this evening - two months before they close for good, so better late than never!
Our group of 8 struggled to make decisions with the menu and thankfully our fantastic server, John Paulo (sorry if I botched the spelling!), took over and created a testing menu for us. He asked what we liked or disliked and chose four appetizers, four pastas and three main courses for us to enjoy family style. Each item was flavourful and different from the others chosen! The favourites were the calamari, the gnocchi, and the halibut.
Sommelier Vincent chose three Italian wines (sorry Vincent - we should have chosen French!) to complement our meal and, although I didn’t have any this evening, the group raved about the flavour and smoothness of each bottle.
I’m sorry to see Cioppino’s close but I’m grateful I had the opportunity to try it once! I hope John Paulo and Vincent find positions in 2025 at other restaurants where they are able to shine at what they do! Thank you for a most memorable evening.

Do yourself a favour, book a table if you can, and order Pino’s tasting menu. Being served by Pino himself was an experience that made our night unforgettable.

This landmark of a restaurant deserves every accolade and more.

Had an amazing dinner in one of their private rooms. Filet Mignon was the best I'd ever had. Service was top notch. Again overall one of the best restaurants for an amazing dinning experience. Definately going back in a couple of weeks to share this with friends. You will not be disappointed one bit. 10/10.

One of my favorite restaurants in town! Always good food and service with extensive wine list. Only on special occasions for me tho, as it’s a bit pricy.
