A word from La Piazza Dario Ristorante
Exceptional cuisine is life-enhancing magic. A magic to be enjoyed with family and friends, or as a companion to business proceedings. Come to our table with an open heart. At La Piazza you will encounter a warm relaxed atmosphere where fine cuisine is presented in gracious style. Bright and… airy luncheons, or intimate candlelight dinners, dining at La Piazza is a revelation of the Italian gift for making an art out of life. Brilliant cuisine selected from the classic dishes of sunny Italy. Prepared from the finest ingredients by Chef Claudio Ranallo, and served in the continental tradition.Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "The waiter that served us was horrible.Said had been working there for about 1 and a half years and am surprised he hasn't been fired. Before we even ordered he already made a statement that started a very unpleasant evening dining there.He was very abrupt and rude when he commented that we should all shut our menus if we wanted to order.When we ordered a calamari appetizer he then came and said that there wasn't anymore and suggested we order the other calamari appetizer, but did not even offer a change in pricing.When we asked for some parmesan cheese, he sighed and replied in an ignorant manner to wait and that it was coming.When we asked for extra bread he made us feel like we were crazy to even ask.More to say but out of space."

  • "We were impressed with the decor, the service and the food. The whole place has an understated charm about it that is warm and inviting, like being a guest in someone's home. The food was fresh and delicious, the bread warm and served at exactly the right time, and the servers were attentive without being cloying. Overall a lovely place I would recommend to anyone who wanted an uncomplicated, great tasting and relaxing place for dinner. We will be back!"

  • "Can't make it to Italy this summer? If you are in Vancouver or Burnaby try this lovely family restaurant right next to the Italian cultural Center. The grilled calamari are generous in size and very tender and flavorful. The pasta dishes were all flavorful and perfectly prepared. I particularly like the wide noodles with mushrooms and truffle oil. The waiters are well trained and attentive without rushing you it is obviously a favorite spot for locals to celebrate special occasions. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed."

  • "We absolutely enjoyed our first visit to La Piazza Darios. The food was delicious, loved the Italian music, and the service was both friendly and very efficient. It was Father's Day and the staff Warmly welcomed all the "Dads" with a "Happy Fathers Day" and later some "Special Chocolate" (Thoughtful) This restaurant overall had a very warm friiendly atmosphere with several large families dining together" We shall definitely go back. Thank You."

  • "We've wanted to try this place many times as we drive by, finally did with the help of a Social Shopper coupon. The prices were fine dining, comparable to Q4 and other Italian restaurants on west side and downtown, but the feel of the restaurant was more casual. The food was tasty enough, some items were better than others, but more "family fare" than fine dining. My 2 cents would be for this restaurant to "re brand" itself as an "authentic Italian family restaurant", lower the prices, increase the portions a bit, and bring in the crowds. For the same prices, I would rather go back to Q4, Trattoria types of Italian restaurants."

  • "Met a friend for dinner and was greeted by the owner who was very friendly and accommodating. We chose to sit on the lovely patio which was set with the same elegance of an inside table. I told them I was tight on time and had to be out in an hour and 1/4. The service was prompt, friendly, and plentiful. We had at least 3 people visiting our table at different times. Our main server even gave me a 15 min warning to ensure I was not late, a nice touch! The food was fantastic, very flavourful and perfect portions. The lemon sorbet for dessert was actually served in a lemon, loved the presentation. Whether you want a romantic eve, catch up with friends, celebrating an occasion or business meal, La Piazza is a perfect choice. "

  • "We have been to La Piazza Dario Ristorante several times and the selection of menu items allows for anyone to find something to eat. The blend of herbs used in cooking the various pasta dishes is excellent. Portions are not large but completely satisfying due to the quality. For dessert, the lemon sorbet is amazing -- served in an actual frozen lemon. Although it seems to cater to a lot of large parties, they seat them at one end of the restaurant so couples and other small parties are not disturbed by the larger groups. Do make reservations though as this is a popular place on weekends."

  • "Since moving out of the city (to Ocean Park) I no longer enjoy frequent visits to Dario's but reserve it for special dining with friends. As usual, the martinis - food and service were great but an overloud group celebrating ??? made it difficult to think let alone talk. I'm not sure it is possible but, when booking luncheon for two, either find a way to place us further from the madding crowd, as they say, or warn me of the festivities."

  • "I took a top client of mine for lunch here last week. The food was good, however our server was MIA after our food was delivered. My client had ordered a coffee, and we waited, and waited, until she finally said that she had to leave for a meeting. Our coffees finally arrived after 20 minutes and my client had to rush out immediately after having just one sip. Then when it was time to get our bill, once again, our waiter was not to be found. My colleague and I had to go to the till to pay our bill. Totally unacceptable."

  • "I and my girlfriend regard this restaurant as the best Italian restaurant in Vancouver. We love to come here for special occasions. The place is a little pricey but the entire experience is worth it."

  • "My friend and I decided to surprise our husbands for Valentines Day and take them to La Piazza Dario for dinner. We ordered 4 appetizers and other than the ravioli, which was delicious and perfectly cooked, everything else was ok. The lamb osso bucco was very good - tender and tasty. The veal chop was very tasty but quite chewy and tough. We all thought that $38 for that dish was exhorbitant. We all agreed that the tiramisu and zabaglione were fair. Not sure if it the prices were bumped up because it was Valentines Day?"

  • "Went over for Valentines day dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The appetizers were lovely and the main course was very good. The service was really good, the waitresses and waiters were really friendly and inviting."

  • "They serve the sections in teams but the overall result falls short. Rather than great service we had no service. Also had to send one entree back as it wasn't cooked through. Unfortunately we will not be back."

  • "was expensive but food was stellar, you have to order an appetizer, small pasta, and your main meal to get the full experience, oh yeah the wine too!"

  • "Have enjoyed this place for decades...the food especially. The wait staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the food and wines. Prices are reasonable."

  • "Wonderful as usual. Never had a bad meal here and certainly some memorable ones despite the quantities of wine consumed. Service can be "relaxed" but always professional and engaging. My favorite meal has been the veal chop special which much to my regret was not on offer the night of our visit."

  • "My wife and I go here once or twice a year for special dinner occasions, and each time we have experienced great service and great food. Even though we only go once or twice a year, the servers remember us. The food has been very good to fantastic on each of our visits. It's not the most scenic location but the dining atmosphere is very enjoyable. Highly recommended."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Food was well presented although I found my dish a little on the salty side (pollo a la gorgonzola). Other ordered salads and pastas which seemed like the way to go to get a full meal. I was left a little bit hungry at the end and wished I had also ordered an appetizer. Cafe Latte was surprisingly a little weak and not that flavourful. I would have expected an Italian restaurant to nail that down. Menu has variety of options."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "I have eaten at this restaurant many times in past years, and always raved about it. This occurrence was very disappointing. Food was only adequate, and when a complaint was made about one dish, it was replaced, but there was no apology, and no follow up to see if the replacement meal was better."
    Dined on 1/15/2014
  • "I have been going to Piazza Dario for years, and it is a wonderful experience every time. It's the closest I have come to finding the ambience I found when I lived in Italy - the warmth of the people, the classy and unpretentious look of the place, and of course, the food, which is so good you want to slow down and savour it as you enjoy your evening."
