I feel like this spot is not talked about enough. Their food is such good quality and the options are very unique. There is a great little deli up front for takeaway meats and cheeses, plus they offer to-go when you aren't in the mood to dine in. Cute atmosphere! Get the smoked mushroom ravioli. It's to die for!!

Great restaurant. The service and vibe were fantastic. The carbonara we ordered was some of the best I have ever had. The guanciale, was like meat butter. Unfortunately the duck breast was so tough, the steak knife had a hard time cutting through it, and I eventually gave up trying to chew it. Disappointing for a plate @ nearly $40.

Wonderful Italian food. Great wine selection. Superb service. Great for families or date night. The desserts are heavenly and they have a great little shop where you can buy pasta, sauces, wine, and other things, Italian.Vegetarian options: Mushroom ravioli, spaghetti, Salad. As server to modify dish.
Delicious food, the wait on the Saturday night at 40 minutes was longer than we wanted it to be, but that meant the food was good we figured. Will be going back to try other foods and the Gorgonzola Cheesecake again!

Great food! It was so delicious my only problem was that I ate too much food! Highly recommended the Gorganzola Cheesecake! It's a savory cheesecake that is beyond delicious. The Kale salad has a lovely dressing that meshes well with flavors of the kale. The Steelhead is a lovely dish with healthy fresh flavors. The smoked mushrooms ravioli was loved so much that when made friends who "don't like mushrooms" try it they asked for a second bite! The smoked duck was some of the best duck I have ever tasted! The terimisue was authentic! And the Mocha cheesecake was smooth and creamy just what I was looking for! Did I mention, that all of the food was beautifully presented which to me made the experience even more delightful!
We love this place. We brought my sister-in-law for lunch. She is gluten intolerant and has no problem finding a delicious meal on the lunch menu. Our server, Lucia, was absolutely great. Tasty salads, pasta, and sandwiches. Great fresh deli with charcuterie options. Outstanding wine cellar. They also have frozen options to take home including multiple kinds of soup, pasta sauce, gelato and more. Highly recommend. One of our go-to places in downtown Vancouver. Vegetarian options available, street parking (paid out front, free around the corner), wheelchair accessible.
I had the carbonara and salad. The carbonara was creamy with little pops of salty pork belly. So delicious! The salad was crisp and fresh. I loved the mixture of peppers lettuce and cheese. My order was ready when I arrived and the staff was friendly and attentive. The place was packed (on a Tuesday) which is always a good sign. I will definitely go back again.

Food was good, a little over priced. We ordered soup, salad, wild boar and mushroom ravioli.Parking: Meter parking is free after 6pm.
I've been here in the past, and had so so experiences... This time, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and service! Our waiter was great and very accommodating to our party. The food was beyond delicious and real Italian!
This is my secret place... no one go here. Nothing to see, nothing to do... stay away, for me, it's mineBut seriously, it's a fabulous joint. Food always on point, staff super friendly and attentive. I go for the sandos, have yet to try their main dishes. Maybe one day. And their wine selection, good god....
