Fabulous meal which was adjusted for food allergies. Tasted incredible, Calamari Appetizer was one of the best We have eaten, Pasta with Salmon was also amazing, wine list very extensive. Great atmosphere, Great Price, was a shame we found this restaurant on our last night!

Based on the reviews, I expected some excellent pasta. Turns out the restaurant doesn't even make their own pasta. The sauce served with the bread was very good. I had linguine with crab. Pasta not home made, crab tasted a bit too fishy. Wife had the spaghetti and meatballs, which was good. If the pasta was home made, this place... More

We stopped in at Zefferelli's around 5:30 on a Saturday night without reservations; the best they could do was a table around 7:30...but lucky us...as we were leaving, they got a cancellation. Bruschetta appetizer was very good, house wine was great, and the chicken parmesan was very tasty. The accompanying pasta didn't seem to have much flavor, however. We requested... More

This restaurant is very noisy but some people seem to like the lively atmosphere. The food is generally quite good, not fine dining but usually very enjoyable. They deserve kudos for having fairly inexpensive but drinkable wine available while most other restaurants in Vancouver routinely gouge on wine prices. I watch their food prices with interest because they appear to... More

I have today visited Zefferelli's for the second time in a week whilst in town for business, and am pleased to report the second visit was as good as the first. Excellent food supported by a pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. A must if you are in Vancouver

This restaurant is right downtown and serves delicious Italian food at lunch and dinner. The prices are reasonable and we have always found the service very good.

We ate here on the night of the Sun Run, we were on vacation and meeting friends from Vancouver for dinner. When we told our friends we thought of Zefferelli's we knew by their enthusiastic response we had made a good choice. It ticked all the boxes for me comfortable table, great service, friendly, funny and efficient. Shared some starters... More

Went with family the evening before sun run. Amazing food and service. To some, the prices may be high, but for downtown Robson St I found them ok. Great place to meet and dine downtown.

The entrance and stairs leading up to restaurant were unclean and in bad shape. We almost thought we went through the wrong door. But upon entering, we thought, this is real neat. The place was about one third full and we were seated in the middle of the room at a very small table right beside an occupied table. This... More

What you explained in your review is not the standard that we have set for our restaurant, and it is concerns such as yours that remind us that maintaining our standards in all aspects, is an on-going challenge that should never end. Thank you for taking the time to submit this review and helping us become a better restaurant. More
