We live out of town and this our “go to” spot in Vancouver for four years now. Great fresh food, attentive service and lovely year round patio where you can watch the local street scene. Small and focused menu, nice but not large wine list.

Every once in a while, you stumble upon a restaurant that feels like a hidden gem — and this was exactly that. From the moment I walked in, the warm lighting and cozy atmosphere set the tone for what turned out to be a beautiful, romantic dining experience. It’s the kind of place that feels instantly inviting, making it a perfect choice for a date night or an intimate evening out.
The food was exceptional. I ordered the carbonara, and it was everything you’d hope for — luxuriously creamy, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. Every bite felt indulgent but balanced, a true testament to the kitchen’s attention to detail.
Our server added to the charm of the evening — friendly, approachable, and effortlessly kind. Their informal yet attentive service made the whole experience feel relaxed and genuine.
With fair prices and such a memorable atmosphere, this spot easily earns a top spot on my list of go-to date night destinations. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful restaurant that pairs excellent food with heartfelt service, this is the place.

The service here was completely on point. A big shout out to our waiter who went above and beyond for us.
The food matched the service and the food was very very good. I wish I could get service and meals like this in my own town.

We arrived before 5 pm but they invited us in anyway. We had an appetizer to share.We both had a delicious main pasta dish and a bottle of wine.
We will certainly be back.

I really wanted to love this place!
I was walking around craving pasta and hoping to stumble upon a hidden gem. Then I turned a corner and found The Italians — cute, cozy, tucked on a side street, and it looked perfect.
The welcome wasn’t the warmest. I asked for a table for 1 and was met with a slightly dismissive “Do you have a reservation?” Since I didn’t, the bar became my spot for the evening. The waiter seemed new and a little nervous, but he was sweet and attentive.
The menu is simple, full of fresh pasta (paradise for me!). I ordered olives, wine, and followed my waiter’s suggestion: chicken parm. The food looked and smelled amazing. The pasta was incredible, but the chicken, though tasty, came out cold. That’s on me for not sending it back—I’m sure they would have fixed it. I also didn’t get bread service, but later noticed other tables had it. Again, I should’ve asked.
Despite those hiccups, this place deserves a chance. The pasta is some of the best I’ve had, the atmosphere is lovely, and if you’re not expecting overly friendly management, you’ll enjoy yourself.
Tip: speak up! Ask for bread if it’s missed, and don’t hesitate to send your dish back if needed.

Absolutely horrible experience. We ordered something and was given something completely different. They forced us to pay for it after… it was wild! What kind of business that that!?!

I had the lasagna and the Barada salad and the carpaccio and it was all delicious
Food is excellent, atmosphere is very romantic. I would highly recommend going here, I believe this is the finest Italian restaurant in the west end. Pedro's service was excellent and shout to to Juan Carlos for the delicious and perfectly cooked meal. Definitely should be on your list to visit👍🏼 we had lasagna and carbonara and carpaccio and everything was perfect.

Great food with generous portions. Our server Pedro was kind, warm, and hospitable. Really enjoyed our time here
Ordered a vegetarian dish, came out with a crab meal then was told too bad so sad when it came to replacing it. Then the bill came and they tried to charge us for the replacement of their mistake. Could see the chef having a tantrum - not professional. Hope they provide better customer service in the future and read back to confirm what was ordered.
