“Very impressive. I was just walking by and decided to stop into the place. they guys were so friendly and amazing. I highly would recommend their awesome food and serviceKid-friendliness: Cool staffWheelchair accessibility: Yes appears to be so“
“Food: the food was delicious. I had the Rigatoni Alla BollognesePrice: $20-$30 for appetizers $30-40 for main coursesEnvironment: it is very small and tight within the restaurant. A homey feeling.Parking: there’s lots of paid parking on the streetService: the server and service was amazingAnything else:“
“Its been 8 years since I moved to Canada and not been enjoying eating outside due to the quality of service.I met a lot of unqualified staff in many other restaurants. But Peppino has not only great foods but also all their staffs were amazing. Their serving was super professional and make us feel comfortable. There was quite long waiting until we got seated, we got one free appitizer dish for compensation.Foods were amazing. However pizza was just ok. I don't know what happened to the dough, seemed under proofed. Pasta was perfect, fries and main dishes were great. Definitely wanna visit again.“
“We've been here twice now. Beautiful interior space, delicious food, and attentive service. Our absolute favorite dishes are the carne cruda and the off menu omelette with king crab. Tajarin pasta is very unique and worth trying. We also had their daily special buckwheat tagliatelle which was quite delicious.A wonderful spot for date night! Be sure to make a reso in advance.“
“This is an interesting place with both Mexican and Italian food.The reg latte / cappuccino were okay but the horchata latte was fantastic!Like the tiramisu but the basic Mexican breakfast was okay. So overall, depends on what you order! Service at counter is very good but expectation is you clear your table after you are done.I would go back to try more dishes for sure.“
“AMAZING. I have been thinking about this pasta for 2 weeks since I went. Highly recommend the tasting menu as the appetizers, pastas, and desserts all surpassed expectations. We arrived at about 4:30 on a Saturday and were fourth in line for the second seating at 7pm, which was what we were expecting. Smooth process if you don't mind waiting a bit, and the wait is definitely worth it.“
“We met some friends here for a meal and the food was really good, I had the Lasagna which was superb, and the pizza was the best we had in Vancouver, the staff were fantastic and even though it was busy, the atmosphere felt intimate. It would be a great place for a romantic meal if that's what you want too.“
“I come from an Italian family, and since I moved to Vancouver, I've had a hard time finding good Italian food. Last night, I decided to take a chance on Casereccio and, OMG, the food!! The Bucatini all'Amatriciana made me tear up. Definitely coming back soon!“
“From the moment my colleagues and I decided to host our company off-site gathering at Carlino in Vancouver, I had high expectations, and I'm delighted to say they were not just met, but surpassed. The ambiance of Carlino offers a warm embrace, with its elegantly arranged seating and the comforting glow of the fireplace where I had the pleasure of dining. This cozy spot by the fire became the stage for an unforgettable evening filled with culinary delights, laughter, and exceptional service.The food was nothing short of wonderful, each dish artfully presented and bursting with flavors that speak of the chef's skill and the kitchen's commitment to quality ingredients. The wine selection complemented our meal perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience with each perfectly paired sip.What truly set this experience apart were our servers, Georgio and Sara. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in ensuring we had the best time made our gathering feel personal and special. Georgio's recommendations were spot-on, leading us through a culinary journey that excited the palate, while Sara's attentive service ensured our glasses were never empty and our spirits high.In summary, Carlino not only served as a fantastic venue for our company off-site but also provided an experience that will be cherished and talked about for a long time. The combination of exquisite food, an inviting atmosphere, and stellar service from Georgio and Sara made our night memorable. I highly recommend Carlino to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Vancouver. Whether for a corporate event, a special occasion, or a casual night out, Carlino is a choice that will not disappoint.“
“I went here for my birthday and the food was amazing. We had calamari to start, o had the rack of lamb and my partner had the duck. For dessert we couldn’t decide so we got the salted caramel crème brûlée and the chocolate soufflé. The server was so attentive in filling my wine, brought out a complimentary dessert and were visited by the chef to check in. Would definitely go back!“
“We have visited this restaurant before and again we were not disappointed. We wanted a meal that we could enjoy each course and not be rushed to finish quickly because your server was bringing the next course. The flavours were very tasty:) positions were perfect to enjoy all courses. The young lady that served us had a great sense of humour and offered her ideas to pair together and how to split choices to be able to try our favourites. Moe also remembered us from our last visit and welcomed us back:) A must visit“
“I was invited for a wedding dinner and I was also doubling up as the Photographer. Great place and ambience for photography. Food tasted great. Service was a bit slow. Food price is a bit on the expensive side being a Street Food style restaurant.“
“Great food and great service! It was extremely busy when we went. However, we got a seat right away without a reservation on the weekend which was a surprise for my boyfriend and I. The service afterwards was great! Our server was Chris. Who was friendly and very enjoyable to have.We highly recommend! Thanks for a great evening here.“
“Like everyone says, can be hard to find (but used GPS) and a hidden gem! Decor is nothing fancy but clean and comfy with excellent food and service! With 2 visits now, my family and I tried 5 different dishes and 2 kinds of soup, everything was delicious! I really enjoy the BLT on a bun, good quality bacon. Really good portions and affordable prices. Will be coming back!“
“I had a great experience with the Tongue beef sandwich at this restaurant! It had a unique and delicious taste that I really enjoyed. The portion size was generous, as one sandwich was enough to satisfy two people. The side of fried fries was a nice addition. The ambiance of the restaurant was good, although there is room for improvement, especially with the music. However, overall, you can expect to find some really good Persian food there.“
“Found this little place while my husband and I were walking up Commercial Drive. All I have to say is " WoW! ". The pizzas were so amazing, light crust, non greasy and full of fresh toppings. They do their own seasoning and it certainly tastes like home cooking. My husband tried out the stromboli and he was so in love with it, said it was the best handheld item he ever had and it's so true. This shop is old school, Ma and Pa pizza place so people please support them. They aren't a franchise and certainly don't taste like one. 100% approved for quality, service. They have a street fighter machine in there too and also the music was very nice. Thank you , Auntie Jen's, we will be back!“
“Couldnt stop rolling my eyes (in a good way) because all the food we ordered were really really good!Carbonara, artichoke+lemon ricotta antipasti, baked eggplant dish.We didn't drink, but would def will come back to wine and dine; also, to try their pizzas.Lots of veg, vegan options avail.Vegetarian options: Most of their food menu consisted of vegetarian options.“
“What a fabulous staff and the food is incredible!! If your looking for a nice dinner this is the place. Went on a Tuesday and they had a live female impersonator who absolutely killed it. Then we went the next week on a Thursday and yet another entertainer wow just wow i can’t imagine going anywhere else for dinner. Thank you Bonta you are awesome!! ♥️“
“Second time here and was very impressed - better than I remembered.Food 5/5 the crudo and suck carbonara were amazing, my partner also loved the semifreddoAmbiance 5/5 artistic and nostalgic. Clean and beautiful bathroomService 5/5 attentive and niceReturn likelihood 5/5“
“The food was amazing! Delicious pasta, exceptional pizza.But prices are insane, I know this is pricey restaurant but cannot justify them. Staff was ok, not very helpful. My friend had serious dietary restrictions, they didn't really know what are the ingredients in the meals.Also, tables are too close to each other to my comfort. The man on the neighbor table kept bothering us.“
“Yes, things are downtown price. BUT! Taste was amazing. Service was nice and fast, atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming. We had coffee and dessert which exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this place to grab a bite or a drink when you're visiting gas town. I will def come back for a full meal next “
“Had the Sunday sauce! Omg! Watch for it because it doesn’t happen every day! I’m just saying this is the real deal it’s rich and meaty and most decadent sauce. Fun place to stop in and shop for Italian ingredients too, I love the relaxed style of take out and all the choices.“
“Was in Van visiting a friend and was told to check this place out. Definitely wasn’t disappointed! Food was delicious and our server was amazing! We had Jeremy and he was friendly, knew the menu, and made delicious wine and food recommendations. Will definitely be back.“
“Ok Vancouver GEM! Walked by many times while staying close by at the JW Marriott. Finally went for a lunch stop. The service was impeccable. The servers knew the menu well and obviously had their own favourites - a good sign!We ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese and Seafood Paella as well as The Burger. All exceptional dishes. Attentive but not overbearing service.Loved how many things are made in-house - the wood fire oven for pizza looked promising for our return to Vancouver.We even had a shared dessert of the Molten Cake (banana and chocolate sauce)! It was an experience in itself.The prices reflect the atmosphere, quality of food and service.Will return! Thanks for the meal.“
“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!“
“I'm surprised to see this hidden gem on the corner of the street. I got the soup and focacia combo for 9 dollars. The soup was good but a bit too sour for me. Maybe if they added a drop of yogurt in the middle, it would be perfect. The bread itself is delicious. It is soft, spongy, and just the right amount of cheese without it being too "greasy." I would definitely go back to try their sandwich or even get the fociccia bread alone.“
“The last of a dying breed, Dids is the type of establishment that when you walk into, you immediately feel uncomfortable. And yes that is on purpose.The pizza is elegantly simple but too complex for your understanding. Just let your tastebuds guide you on a journey you will never forget.“
“The pizza is good! The tomato sauce is slightly flavorless (almost like plain crushed tomatoes!) we got lucky we had a nice waiter because the staff were somewhat hit or miss (we encountered a couple which not only lacked the professionalism required of their role, but also acted somewhat condescending towards guests. We were also offered the burrata salad which was on special but the pesto croutons were soggy and disappointing. Overall, it was somewhat worth the long line up.“
“The food was amazing, the gnocchi with burrata was absolutely amazing. The drinks were good, but my boyfriend was a little disappointed with the portion (he eats a lot) he got the lobster ravioli, but for me all good, definitely I'll be back, the atmosphere is like an authentic Italian “
“Amazing experience. We’ve been to Impostori 5-6 times. Each time the food & service is top notch. The atmosphere is not old style Italian, I feel like I’m in a cool resto/bar in Milano or Firenze. We often try the daily specials and have never been disappointed. Sometimes i want to keep this place a secret so that I can always get a table, but that wouldn't be fair to Vancouverites.“
“Amazing little shop, with everything Italian.We randomly stopped by, on our way to Seattle, on 12/24th, a few hours before everyone was closing for Christmas.The owners made a wonderful fresh pizza for us, then we tried freshly baked deserts and coffee. It was made with love and the best ingredients.Thank you so much for your hospitality and amazing food!Merry Christmas!Kid-friendliness: Kids loved everything!“
“Great place right in front of the beach! The service is great! Food was tasty! ??Kid-friendliness: Our seven month old was in his stroller. They created space to keep the stroller and also provided hot water for us which we needed to make baby formula.“
“A little bit pricey BUT the focaccia sandwich was totally worth it! Basically two sandwiches in one! Had it for the first time last week and ended up having it 3 times that week! Cant recommend enough! If you come here you won’t regret it and will definitely be back again!“
“Celebrated my Milestone Birthday last night at this Fabulous Restaurant. I’ve always Loved this restaurant. We have being going since Umberto had the beautiful Tuscan yellow building. We always feel so welcomed & like family when we dine there. Umberto is always so personable & greets everyone in the restaurant. The Food was incredible last night as always. I really Loved my Birthday Celebration at Giardino. It made me feel So Special Thank you for making my Birthday so Memorable ❤️ Fay Jensen“
“Very nice atmosphere inside, and staff make you feel very welcome. Food was excellent and a bit unexpected for a neighborhood restaurant. Pasta was freshly made, sauces were hearty and tasty, and the pizza crust was perfectly made. The combination of exceptional food, service, and setting made us feel like we were transported somewhere downtown….except parking was free. Definitely worth having repeat visits at this restaurant.“
“The calamaro yes O, was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. It was grilled humboldt squid, spicy puttanesca, pea shoots, chopped olive. Absolutely fantastic. Like, I wanna go back and have it again. Great service, nice private dining area. Great food! Highly recommend.“
“We came here for our wedding anniversary and had incredible service. Everyone was very friendly and the food was very good. We had the lamb on the fish dish which was very good. They also took the time to write us a nice little letter, which have a nice touch to the dinner. Great place for date night.“
“Wrap me in a bow and call me a present because the pizza here makes me want the next time I come here to be NOW! The pizza is great and with a humongous amount of boardgames to choose from I know next times I visit I will never get BOARD! 10/10“
“The best Gelato in Vancouver, I absolutely love it. The owner is amazing, friendly and kind hearted individual who truly cares about his customers. I stopped by today to grab a Gelato (even tho they were closed) the owner made it happen as I ran into him outside the cafe. If you’re in the area definitely worth the visit you will not be disappointed.“
“First time here and wanted to try their Sable fish but wasn't on the menu even tho it was on their online menu. Went with the arctic char. It was a bit overcooked so a bit on the dry side but flavor of everything else on the plate was good. Warm vegetable salad was pretty good. For dessert we shared the sticky toffee pudding which was a bit disappointing. There was something crunchy in it like poppy seeds. The pear strudel was better. Both desserts quite sweet for my tastebuds. Overall still worth a try for their other entrees and appetizers.“
“I love coming to Bellagio and I always try something new there. One of my favourite is their mushroom ravioli, one the best I've tried! Staff is great, especially Ranszell, who is super friendly and has always a good conversation! I would definitely recommend this place!“

“This place is a gem. I was recommended this place by a friend and it definitely did not disappoint. Greeted the moment I walked in the door by Johnny and he showed me to a table. Chloe our server was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the menu and recommended a few options. I went with the roast lamb and by far the best I've had since being in Vancouver. I will be back to try other items as there was so much to choose from. The staff were super attentive and the atmosphere was relaxing. I also shared the chocolate mud cake and salted Carmel Gelato with a friend and we demolished them. Great value as well... cheaper than other greek restaurants I've been to and the portion sizes and quality of food were still amazing, especially in a city where everything is super expensive. All over 10/10.“
“Independent neighbourhood restaurant, the type you’d want to be a regular at. Simple ingredients and dishes that make you feel right. Service that makes you feel a little warmer than before. Extra shout out to the anchovy spaghetti and the two strangers at the bar splitting the sticky toffee pudding“
“Went for a dinner with family. It was our first time trying out the place and we went on a recommendation. Our very first impression of the place was very warm and cozy with lot of architectural flavor. One of the best experience of the place was the co-founders of the place were also present and interacting with the guests. They were so deeply involved at the place, something I haven’t seen before. Super inspiring. Their creams brûlée is to die for“
“OMG... I have nothing but praise for this amazing restaurant...Service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive, appetizers were excellent, interesting flavours, main courses were excellent, subtle and delicious, dessert was excellent, all ingredients were over the top fresh, plating exquisite, ambience was perfect... good music- but not too loud, so conversation is possible...an exceptional evening...Thank you, thank you...... I highly recommend this restaurant to others.“
“Just good pizza - PERIOD! Nothing more to add other than: Homeless guy: walks in while I was boxing up my pizza to go and he says....”Gotta a piece of pizza”? Me: with a slight pause because I wasn’t sure this was happening - “sure”. Gotta a napkin? Homeless Guy: yes. And thanks. Me: here ya go. Enjoy. that was Wierd!“
“First time being at this location. Families everywhere. I dont know if there was a special family deal that evening but families were everywhere with their children. For better or worse is up to you but if you have a family this place can accommodate with patience in a cool atmosphere. While I am familyless, I did appreciate there was an option in the neighborhood. Ps. They make kiler nigronis.“
“Arrive early! They opened at 5pm when we went and it filled up in no time. It’s quite small so it has a good charm to it. They have a nice bar style seating as well. With the fire from the pizza oven, the warmth of the place contributes to the ambiance. The food is excellent and the portions are generous as well. The pizza has a good crust and the ingredients are of good quality. The same goes for pasta. Excellent quality. The staff is nice and not pushy but they are busy bees.“
“Small seating area, but the donairs are terrific and the prices are great.Parking: It's on Hastings so parking can be troublesome.Wheelchair accessibility: The store is a bit small for easy navigation in a wheelchair, but it is possible.“
“My experience at Savio Volpe was amazing! I have always wanted to try this restaurant ever since i’ve heard of it few yrs ago but unfortunately couldnt get in coz it’s hard to make a reservation. Glad i was able to get in this time. Me, my husband, my mom and in laws came over to celebrate our bday at this restaurant and it really surpassed our expectations. Our fave were the maple farm half chicken, primrose pork belly with scallops and green apple puree, tiramisu and amaretto bday ice cream! It was def chef’s kiss! Shout out to Steve for constantly checking on us making sure we were ok and we were enjoying our meal. We would love to go back again sometime in the future.“
