Great little bistro under the Granville St/ Bridge. We've been coming here since it opened and although the menu is limited, the quality is always great. Staff are wlecoming and attentive. When the weather heats up there is a small paito outside on the pedestrian walkway.

Great evening. Tried beef cheeks for the first time…so tender and flavourful. My husband tried arancini and it was delicious. We were late for our reservation due to heavy traffic but it was not an issue. Good way to start the night.

This review is from the perspective of 2/3 diners that are gluten free but very into high quality food. Overall, we wanted this meal to be better… more creative and interesting. The food is good, but just lacked some pizzazz to us personally. This is a solid dinner spot for an intimate meal, but we probably wouldn’t go back (we were visiting Vancouver so take that with a grain of salt). Also in a rougher neighborhood so just a heads up if you aren’t familiar.

I recently spent a few days in Vancouver before my trip and treated myself to an exceptional dinner. The 25-course Omakase experience was truly remarkable! Each dish showcased exquisite showmanship, with the chefs preparing everything right in front of me, creating an engaging atmosphere. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and the delicateness of each dish was a true testament to their artistry. I enjoyed every moment and am already looking forward to returning next season for a whole new menu! Highly recommend this unforgettable dining adventure!

Penticton / Naramata

About the restaurant

Those behind Socialē by Villa Rosa have been offering consistently great food and wine from both B.C. and Italy for more than 15 years in Penticton. That food, which includes fresh, local produce, and wine complements the atmosphere and makes for an unforgettable experience.

Socialē, which is Okanagan family owned, is the cousin of Villa Rosa Ristorante, which is on hiatus. The soul of that restaurant will live on through Socialē. The Italian wine bar and coffee house has taken the best from Villa Rosa Ristorante and turned it into something even more unique and special.

Socialē is located at 950 Lakeshore Dr. W., in Penticton, mere steps from Okanagan Lake Beach.

About the restaurant

As the days grow longer and the evenings warmer, Dose Coffee transforms into Dose After Dark — a seasonal dining experience offered Thursday through Saturday evenings all summer long.

Led by Head Chef Ivan Blackwell (you may remember him from Alfred’s), and joined by Alasdaur Aitken, the kitchen presents a Mediterranean-inspired menu full of vibrant, shareable dishes.

Our curated wine list features a thoughtful selection of old-world wines and inventive spins on classic cocktails — perfect for pairing and patio sipping.

The patio offers an alfresco dining experience whilst the inside dining space offers a more intimate atmosphere close to the action of the kitchen.

Dose After Dark launches Friday, June 13 and runs through to mid-September. Reservations are strongly encouraged, though we always keep space for walk-ins.
