Had the risotto and honestly it’s not good at all, the server was super friendly but the food was not it. Also very expensive

A cozy restaurant tucked in on Hastings street. The happy hour specials are of great value and I appreciate the atmosphere of the place. The food is hearty and overall I would come here again.

Very enjoyable covered patio on a warm sunny day in the back of this restaurant that feels very homely.
Enjoyed one, well actually two, refreshing campari soda for $9 from their happy hour menu between 3-6pm.

We arrived at 3 PM to find the place completely empty. Despite my hesitation, my husband insisted we give it a try. I ordered the mushroom risotto and the meatball lasagna ($46 total). The menu was surprisingly extensive, and the Asian cashier—who also acted as the server and cook—was kind and welcoming. She took our order and headed straight into the kitchen to prepare it.

Unfortunately, the experience ended there. The food was disappointing. The mushroom risotto lacked flavour, and the mushrooms themselves tasted old and had an unpleasant, raw texture. I couldn’t even finish the dish.

In hindsight, I should have trusted the reviews before ordering. Sadly, this visit felt like a waste of both time and money.

The Owner was amazing and the food delicious. The place is small but calming. I would recommend eat in or takeout you shouldn’t be disappointed.

Ordered on skipthedishes so the temperature of the food may not be under their control but the portions and food quality sure are and it wasn't good. The Bolognese had practically no sauce. My kids asked for jarred pasta sauce to put on it because it was so bland and dry.

There was 1 piece of garlic bread with our order of 2 pastas, a risotto and prawns. The bread was an end piece and was hard and brittle. The lasagna didn't taste home made and was actually cold, not even cool or room temperature which makes me think it wasn't cooked at all.

I would not recommend ordering from here and will not be going in person either.

If you want to find a lovely and boutique bistro, it is a different but amazing experience from what you have in North America. It is run by a lovely Japanese lady who use all her effort to make delicate dishes of pasta. The chicken they made is surprisingly tender and juicy , so you will understand this is a lifestyle and a culture.
Good food doesn’t necessarily come in big portion. Not a fast food restaurant.

The food is amazing! Love the meat ball. The best meatball in my life! Calamari is juicy. The risotto is fantastic. Before scooping in my mouth my nose tells me to stop as the nose wants to enjoy longer time! The chicken fillet surprised me. How can it be that juicy and delicious?! And the pestos is freshly made on site. I can eat two plate straight! It is a cozy bistro with crazily delicious food! We has a great 26th anniversary dinner! Thank you!

Came in a few weeks ago for a family dinner. Got a seat outside. Asked for a cloth to clean the bird crap off the table and bench. We were brought dry napkins. We asked for something to spray it with. We were brought windex and we cleaned it ourselves. This took around 20 minutes. We ordered 3 cocktails and 2 sodas. Those took about 30 minutes. The restaurant was dead. By this time the restaurant was going to close in 1 hour and I wasn't confident we would get our food anytime soon so we paid out $56 bill and left.

My cousin and I came over to Vancouver for a concert and went to Enzo’s for dinner. We are sorry to say but it was the worst experience we have had in a long time. There was one girl serving and cooking all the food so the service was very slow. The white wine was served at room temperature and when the food did arrive my dish was incorrect. My cousin’s lasagna tasted good but the portion size was small and the small pieces of garlic bread looked like the ends of two slices of a baguette. When my meal finally arrived there was a chicken cutlet, about 3/4 cup of potatoes and cauliflower. Everything looked very pale and it didn’t look very appetizing. The menu said that it came with vegetables, but I only received cauliflower. Unfortunately I don’t like cauliflower. Thankfully the cutlet and potatoes tasted good. Each meal was $23.95 and there wasn’t a lot there. I’m sorry to say that the ambience was cheap looking and we could see a bunch of items stored in the hallway that lead to the back balcony. There was plastic on the tables and the decorations looked haphazard. I’m sure there was meaning in many of the things but it wasn’t displayed in a tasteful way. Overall I would not recommend eating in at this restaurant. I could see myself ordering out and preparing my own salad and chilled wine to accompany their pasta.

Ordered from Uber Eats. Placed an order for the linguini pesto con prawns, received a COMPLETELY different order with tomato sauce and sliced tomatoes. I understand that many people would like this dish but I absolutely do not like tomatoes and this is not what I ordered!!! So I guess I just wasted my money. And it was cold and had a hair in it. Lol.

Very disappointing. Have been there several times about a year ago and enjoyed it but tonight… not so much. The Bolognese had little to no flavour….and there was not much of it. , the pasta was ok, the house wine was terrible & the service frugal.

I recently saw that the ratings went down due to skip the dishes so I had to leave a review on how good it actually is!!! I’ve only ever had take out but I have been inside, a quaint little cute shop perfect for couples. Their pasta is DELICIOUS!!! I don’t know how they make it but it’s perfect everytime. And pretty quick! Especially the amatriciana. And cheaper than other places too! Worth your money and delicious flavours!!!!!!
