Imagine a city where you can ski in the morning, hit the beach by afternoon and dance through the night in a vibrant bar. This is Vancouver.
Dimly lit, green interiors and a little patio makes Caffé La Tanna the perfect spot for a glass of vino and some Italian favourites. Small plates and family-style pasta dishes, this intimate spot may be a casual neighbourhood do, but it's remarkably cosy.
La Quercia strips the tasting menu back to basics, in all the best ways. A family style, à la carte, pasta is rolled out daily and Northern Italian dishes are lovingly prepped. Pop by the deli for a lasagne to-go, or a heavenly sandwich for lunch.
Looking for authentic Italian deliciousness? This neighbourhood gem brings la dolce vita straight to Vancouver. Don't forget: Happy Hour is every day from 2:00-5:00 pm!
A place which attracts everyone from design buffs, avid foodies, to those just looking for a good time. Enter, Osteria Savio Volpe. Designed to be your rustic, non-pretentious, local osteria; expect bowl-upon-bowl of fresh pasta, perfectly-seared meats and plates piled high with the most flavoursome of veg. If you're with friends, order a Lambrusco Spritz and the "alla famiglia" to munch on.
The house of spaghetti. Do we really need to say more? It's everything delicious and Italian in one. Our tip: order the rigatoni alla vodka, a dirty martini, the fried brussels sprouts and a singular, perfectly rounded sugo sauce meatball.
