This is our family’s favorite pasta restaurant in Vancouver: excellent food and great services! Our favorites are Aglio, Olio & Pepperoncino spaghetti and A la Vodka penne.

Exceptional pasta (get whatever is fresh!), great cozy hole in the wall vibe. Don't skip the garlic bread and tiramisu - you won't regret it!

Had a delightful spaghetti bolognaise with the Nonas sauce and it was both flavourful and rich with an all beef sauce. Added mushrooms and it was so good, I asked for two more servings to take away! I’ll be going back to try their other offerings. Highly recommended.
The setting is very simple as it’s a small place but this was not an issue at all as the gentleman serving and the lady preparing the meal were both ever so friendly and hospitable. I think anyone looking for a value meal that is also tasty and served with warmth will not be disappointed. Try this place!

This cozy little pasta spot is a total gem! I had the Alfredo and garlic bread, and both were incredible—the sauce was creamy perfection, and the bread was perfectly crispy and buttery.
What really made the experience stand out was the service. The staff were so friendly, and both the chef and owner came by to check if everything was just right. It’s rare to feel that level of care at a restaurant in Vancouver.
Amazing food, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service—I’ll definitely be back!

This is a tiny little restaurant, but I was pretty impressed by the food! They have a choose-your-own-pasta-adventure menu where you select the type of pasta and your sauce, and can optionally add on extra veggies and/or parmesan cheese for a small additional cost. They have a board advertising which pasta shapes are fresh. The base prices are pretty reasonable, so the end price even with add-ons isn't exorbitant.
I ordered the gnocchi puttanesca. It was an excellent dish - the gnocchi had the perfect texture and the puttanesca sauce was delicious. I actually ordered it with spinach, but they forgot to add the spinach when they cooked the dish, so instead brought it out in a small side dish in some sauce, but after trying the gnocchi I thought it was perfect as it was, so I just ate the spinach on the side. It was one of the chefs/cooks who delivered my food to my table and he seemed really nice. The portion was just right for me.
They also had a few desserts available in the fridge. I got a slice of chocolate tuxedo cake. Good cake, very rich, and a pretty generous slice.
It kind of looks like a hole in the wall and it's a little tight inside, but I would highly recommend them if you want some restaurant-quality pasta fast or without the fuss of a fancy restaurant.
