Our server didn't seem interested in us. I kept trying to catch her attention to order our drinks but she wouldn't look at us. Ended up ordering drinks and food at the same time which I don't love doing.I got the chicken marsala. The size was much bigger than needed and it was rather salty.Pasta aspect was really good.

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.

What an amazing Italian pasta restaurant. The service was exceptional, and the inside has an amazing atmosphere. You walk up a staircase from the main street and you open the door to what feels like an amazing hidden getaway restaurant that is perfect for a dinner for two or a large dinner party they have a great selection of pastas and main dishes, and the wine menu is extensive as well. The portions are larger than a typical fine Italian restaurant, so you could easily share a dish, or have plenty to take home for leftovers. we had the tortellini Gorgonzola and the linguine Vengole . I would highly recommend this Italian restaurant near Robson Street in the West End.

Usually not one to leave a negative review, but the food was lacklustre. The service was questionable. Server kept assuming we were staring at him, but we were just admiring the ambience that they quickly ruined. Couldn’t even enjoy my meal with how the server was breathing down my neck. Would’ve been better off going to Old Spaghetti Factory.

My partner and I took a road trip from the Okanagan to Vancouver one weekend; just to see if this was really the Zefferelli's I was hired at in January of 1990, all those decades ago. It was my first Vancouver gig after moving from Toronto to carve out a new existence. Not only was I surprised to see that it was very much alive and well, in fact thriving, but we were also greeted at the door by none other than the very man who hired me. After 34 years, Alberto and I recognized each other right away and even addressed me by name! This evening went on to become the highlight of our road trip and, pretty much one of the best dining experiences we have had in recent years. The Chicken livers were delicious, the mussels were hot and plump and the pasta was al dente. 5 stars here Alberto! Thank you for the wonderful experience! We are coming back!

I got the ragu spaghetti and it was great. No frills, just classic pasta. Ok vibes, good service. Ice cold complimentary bread though. It was free, but it was also part of the experience so it matters.Overall a positive experience. Wish I could give it a 4.5. Might be back for other kinds of pasta.

My partner and I are from Victoria. We discovered this place a few years ago. And every time we go to Vancouver. This is the only place I have to go to. The space is great. The pasta is FANTASTIC. But this time we had one amazing server. His name is Sean. And I need to thank him for taking his time to be so personable. Was another amazing night. Thanks Sean!

great food but the service is in need of improvement. I was given diet pepsi for some reason even though I asked for regular coke, and our group was charged 18% auto gratuity despite there only being 5 of us.

My friend and I came here on a Sunday. Best Italian food I've had in Vancouver from all the ones I've tried. Service was great too and Letizia was very informative and helpful with our questions about the food since it was our first time here. The atmosphere was very cozy which we loved as well. Definitely coming back!
