Guests will delight with warm wheels of handcrafted pizza, peerless antipasto platters, creative pastas and dry-aged steaks.

This is a very good Italian restaurant. I ate at the counter/bar and the atmosphere was great, watching the staff work very hard and fast was interesting and despite being busy the staff were all very attentive, especially the drinks staff. Items such as a free appetizer for people not having starters to fill the wait (not particularly long) until... More

My boyfriend had previously eaten at the Italian Kitchen and loved it, so when we were roaming around downtown trying to decide on a place to eat the suggestion came up. We were a bit worried that we weren't quite "dressed to impress" being a bit damp and in casual wear, but we were starving and there was no wait... More

I stopped in to grab a pizza and a drink or two after a long day of travel. The only thing that topped the food was the service. You just felt like you were a regular there.

Liked the buzz although the music was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. Was supposedly an Italian restaurant but nothing very Italian about it. Food only average - pasta soft rather than alienate.

The food and service were outstanding. We ate here twice during a recent conference in Vancouver - once with a large party and once as a couple. Both experiences were exceptional. Great food and wonderful selection of wines. Drink British Columbia wines while you're in town. You won't be disappointed.
