We had eaten at this restaurant a few times more than 5 years ago but had not been back since COVID. The food was fantastic. The burrata caprese salad is amazing, as is the chicken risotto and the gnocchi. Everyone in our group of 8 really enjoyed their meal and are ready to go back. The service was good and attentive albeit a bit slow at times but I think they were just giving us time to enjoy our meal. The noise level was low which allowed the 8 of us to have a nice visit with each other without shouting over loud music or other noisy guests. All in all a very nice evening. We will definitely be going again soon.

Super nice place. Loved the service and the timing between plates. But more than anything, we weren't that hungry for full antipasti, main meal and dessert for two. They gladly proposed and accommodated us by splitting one antipasti and one main meal without charging us extra like most restaurants would do. We each had a dessert though... LOL

A wonderful evening! Came as a party of 4 to celebrate my mum’s birthday. Service as usual was polished and quality of food superb. Consistency in all respects - from the dishes to hospitality - is what keeps us coming back. Thank you Christian and team for making this evening so special!

We had a great experience here! Wonderful service and the food was a big hit! Everything from the great bread, well prepared calamari /prawns, rave worthy lasagne and delicious pork chop to the gelato at the end was well executed. So glad we gave it a try… definitely will go back!

What a lovely restaurant! We still talk about it. The food was fantastic and well portioned. From the fried calamari starter that came with giant shrimps as a bonus and the pasta to the pork chop entrees, we loved everything! And service was patient and friendly. We were given great recommendations on wine and food and not once did we feel rushed about a time limit as per almost 99% of the restaurants in Vancouver. This will now be my first choice for Italian food if anyone asks for a recommendation. The location is quiet as its set back behind busy shopping district in a nice courtyard. The live piano music was appreciated also!
