I went with my partner and it all sounded so good; we wanted to try everything. We ended up ordering the breakfast pizza, brioche French toast, s'more appolino, and sourdough with ricotta and huckleberry. Everything was absolutely delicious. Such a wide variety of textures and flavors. The French toast is made from a Japanese milk bread so it's the most moist French toast you'll ever have. Nice coffee as well.
It's a little expensive but I think it's about average for Vancouver pricing and its fresh ingredients and quality make it worth it.
Service is also fantastic here. We had a few different waiters come to the table throughout the meal and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The environment also reflects this friendly hospitality.
Overall, amazing experience. Highly recommend for a casual or nicer dining experience.

We came for a birthday dinner on a Saturday. We made reservations for 630 and showed up early but our table wasn't ready yet. They have a big wait so please make reservations.
Our server was really nice and came to check up on us. The courses come out one at a time and are meant for sharing. The wait time between courses can be quite long.
Fritti misti (soft shell crab, striped bass, tiger prawns, lemon aioli, esplette) - very crispy and light. I liked the soft shell crab. Well seasoned
Rigatoni cacio e pepe- there are 2 sizes for this the small 21 or big 38. I would recommend getting the small for each pasta dish so you can share. The rigatoni was perfectly cooked but the flavour here was a bit lacking. The savouriness of the cheddar wasn't coming through.
Calabreselli alla vodka (Dungeness crab) (31)- I liked the sauce for this one. Very interesting and I could taste the crab flavour. But the pasta was way too overcooked ruining this dish
Manila clam hot Italian sausage pizza (28)- not enough clams on it to call it a Manila clam pizza. I could really taste the hot Italian sausage. The dough was okay but not my favourite dish of the night. Wouldn't get the pizza again
Beef with risotto - risotto was a bit too watery for me. The beef cheek was melt in your mouth tender and very delicious. It was well seasoned and addictive. I would say this was the highlight of the night
As for the cocktails, we got a range of different ones. Our favourite was probably the Elio sour and the sicilian margarita (pass on the Shakerato)
Overall I felt like my expectations were too high. My advice would be it's worth a try but keep your expectations low

Excellent food and a great experience overall!
We had a bit of a hiccup with our reservation. My friend initially booked for 4, then called and emailed to change it to 6. They assured us it would be fine, though a bit tight. Unfortunately, it seems this wasn’t communicated to the restaurant. When we arrived, the table was clearly meant for 4. The three of us had to squeeze tightly on one side, and an extra chair was placed at the end of the table, right near the door and coat rack, which wasn’t ideal.
That said, the food more than made up for it! Everything we ordered was delicious. As an appetizer, the arancini was fantastic, though slightly bitter. The Parker House rolls were outstanding. For the mains, we all tried each other’s dishes, and the unanimous favorite was the beef cheeks—absolutely tender and flavorful. I had the cacio e pepe, and as a Brazilian, I thought I’d miss having protein, but it was perfect and so satisfying.
For dessert, we ordered three different ones to share, and while they were all great, the standout was the amaretto semifreddo.
Despite the table mix-up, the food and service were amazing, and I’d definitely come back, when I can $$ lol (be prepared)
Parking: Be aware that the parking lot (in front) door close automatically at 10 PM sharp. We were just a minute later leaving and were almost locked inside!
Food is subpar. The price is not justified. The broccolini was the only good thing ?. Maybe try the other Osteria instead.

Food not worth the hype, surprised they are still open at those prices. No sick appetizers. Lack of wine selection. The flavours were not exploding in my mouth like I like it. I like the decor and the staff were nice.

Service is not very pleasant. Have come to dine in this restaurant for at least 7-8 times. Love the food and drinks. Although gave 18% of tips and we spent almost $800, not worth the service. Feel so not welcomed! Service needs to be improved definitely!!!!!
Absoultely incredible!
