Love Italian food? These places are serving it up right – just the way Nonna would do it.
5. Adesso Bistro
Located in the heart of the West End, Adesso specializes in
‘Ligurian” cuisine, light, fresh, and seafood heavy! All of the frutti di mare!
4. L’Antipasto
A wonderful Yaletown nook, L’Antipasto is the only Italian restaurant with a real-life Nonna working in the kitchen! If that doesn’t scream “authentic,” their dishes definitely will – especially their ravioli.
3. Osteria Savio Volpe
There’s a quote that reads: a fox is a wolf who sends flowers. At Osteria Savio Volpe, which translates to “the Wise Fox Eatery.” they deliver generous portions of rustic, and local Italian fare. Simple food made to taste simply delicious.
2. Nook
Dining in Kits always feels like a community experience, and this is especially true at Nook, THE gathering spot. The burrata is UNREAL. Seriously.
1. Al Porto Ristorante
For the finest Italian dining experience reminiscent of the Old Country, Al Porto on Water St. is a must-visit. The dish that got our mouths watering? The Veal Saltimbocca: Triple A Canadian veal with prosciutto, local veggies, and a house-made demi glaze made using veal bones that had us like “Mama Mia!”
