Centro - Vancouver, British Columbia

Poor service and menu. The only highlight was the retro decor. We ordered the arancini (risotto fright balls) for antipasti which were pre made and not warm enough inside. We continued with 2 main pasta plates (mafalda with prosciutto and a special pasta of the day with pork shoulder); they ... were both al dente, but sauce wise nothing special. When we finished we were not even offered dessert. Not a repeat. Read more

Great decor, retro vibe, visually a very cool place for dinner. The food and service on the other hand..... Let’s start with the food. Small menu that is overpriced. Started with the arancini. Wasn’t fresh at all. They are deep fried so I expected them to come out hot. ... They came out minutes after we ordered them so clearly they were reheated in a microwave or something. The tomato sauce pasta I ordered was the bucatini special. $26. It was pasta with pieces of pork. Not worth the price. The other dish was the mafalda boscaiola. Reasonably priced I suppose given that they were more generous with the ingredients. Taste was fine but nothing special. The service was horrible. Server basically took our order and served the food. Didn’t check on us until we finished. Never asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. Definitely not coming back again. There are many much better Italian restaurants at those prices. There’s a reason why it was empty on a Friday night. Read more

Solid Italian. Portions were a good size (as were the prices lol). Fun family and friends atmosphere and service was peppy and polite. Food tasted great - very lovingly homemade. Cocktail drinks were ok - boozy which in the end was all that mattered 😁

My girlfriend and I went here for dinner since we had seen how amazing the decor was. It is a very beautiful looking restaurant. Minimalistic 70s feel. When we sat down the service was friendly and my girlfriend ordered the flight of negroni’s which she said she enjoyed. We proceeded ... to order the mushroom pasta, the bread and the cheese balls. The cheese balls were pretty good and the pasta was quite filling and tasty. The bread we paid 6 dollars for was extremely awful. The most bland baguette I’ve tried and It was toasted beyond a crouton state and was served with very little olive oil and balsamic when butter would have been more suiting. The bread wouldn’t even have been satisfactory if it was free. Overall it was a decent experience but that really took it down a notch for us as they are an Italian restaurant and bread should be delicious and nice on the side. Read more

High quality of food is present in the entire menu. Dishes are executed splendidly. Classic Italia with somewhat playful flare. Service is prompt, friendly and casually upbeat. Decor and atmosphere are mid 70s Italy. If you haven't been here, you must find a reason to visit.
