Top 5 Italian Restaurant in British Columbia

1328 Hornby St, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1W5, Canada

“Excellent food and service from Ryan. Great ambience. A very enjoyable dinning experience. The calamari is light and crispy. Lightly salted. The rack of lamb cooks perfectly. The ossobuco and the bone marrow is rich and tender. Slightly on the salty side to my liking. The cappuccino is delicious. Overall we are impressed and delighted to find another good restaurant that worth revisiting. They acknowledge the booking was for a birthday celebration at the front desk however there are no special celebrations or anything offered by the restaurant so I’m not sure the purpose of asking when I made reservation.”

“The service was nice, the carbonara was really good, the bacon on it was nice. The pizza was good too. We ordered a margarita in the happy hour and it was 90% alcohol, so strong, not enjoyable.”

“It was our first visit to Cafe Brio, and we were blown away. We had unexpectedly decided to eat there for date night. We called and reserved a table. They informed us that there were only seatings at the bar, which didn't bother us at all. When we arrived, the kind host greeted us and led us to our seats. The bartender was very helpful, and suggested some meals and beverages to us. He was pleasant to work with, and gave outstanding service. In fact, all of the hosts were fantastic. The service is excellent. I liked how you could order half or full orders of each dish. We got half an order of mushroom risotto and the gnocchi! Both dishes were delicious and well-prepared. The gnocchi was more traditional, but with the addition of walnut basil pesto, it was impeccable. We got the full order of scallops sans bacon and an entire order of halibut for our main courses! The seared scallops were beautifully prepared! The halibut dish was perfectly executed. The fennel in the halibut dish provided some wonderful textures! We split the crème brûlée for dessert! Oh my gosh, that was decadent and delicious! Shout out to the chef, crew, and personnel that go above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience.”

45 Bastion Square, Victoria, BC V8W 1J1, Canada

“Celebrated my husband's birthday at Wind Cries Mary in Bastion Square – quite an intriguing name for a restaurant. We were fortunate to be seated further inside, creating a more private and quieter ambiance. The food, meant for sharing, delighted our taste buds with each plate of flavorful entrees. With 7 entrees and a dessert for our group of 5, the culinary experience was truly satisfying. The cocktail choices were impressive, enhancing our enjoyment and tempting us to indulge more. The dark vibe ambiance added to our pleasure, and the excellent customer service further elevated our experience. Highly recommend trying everything on the menu; it's a bit upscale but undoubtedly worth it.”

“My recent dining experience at Zambri's was a delightful journey of shared flavours among family and friends. Exploring a variety of dishes was a highlight, and among the options, the pork tenderloin and the broccoli appetizers left a lasting impression. The tenderloin's succulence and the appetizers' flavourful blend truly stood out, earning my heartfelt recommendation. While the service at Zambri's was undoubtedly attentive, and incredibly quick service I couldn't help but notice a slight inclination toward a more formal and robotic demeanor. As someone who appreciates a warmer and more personalized touch, this aspect left me yearning for a more genuine connection.”

“Decided to try ordering from here as a change from my usual place. It was really easy to do online order. Paid when I picked it up. Ordered ahead and it was ready when I arrived to pick up. As soon as I lifted the box, I knew… this was going to be a great pizza. Substantial amount of quality toppings, tasty crust, and very well cooked. It was also delicious! It was very filling as well. Size medium was more than enough for 1-2 people. The price of 17$ was amazing as well. Can’t wait until next time 🍕”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Scratch Kitchen, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The star of our dining experience, however, was undoubtedly our fantastic waitress, Jacoba. Her attentive and friendly service truly enhanced our evening. One of the highlights of our visit to Scratch Kitchen was undoubtedly the pizza. The moment our pizzas arrived at our table, we knew we were in for a treat. The flavors were out of this world, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining delightfully chewy on the inside. Each slice was generously topped with high-quality ingredients, creating a medley of flavors that danced on our taste buds. What impressed us even more was the restaurant's commitment to catering to different dietary preferences. My wife, being a vegan, was thrilled to find a variety of options tailored to her needs. Her vegan pizza was a masterpiece in itself, with a delectable combination of plant-based cheeses, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful tomato sauce. It's not easy to find vegan pizzas that taste this good, and Scratch Kitchen exceeded our expectations. Beyond the exceptional food, the atmosphere at Scratch Kitchen was warm and inviting. The rustic decor and cozy seating added to the overall charm of the restaurant. The staff members were attentive and friendly, and it was evident that they took pride in providing a memorable dining experience for their guests. Overall, I highly recommend Scratch Kitchen to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience. Whether you're a pizza lover or have specific dietary preferences, this restaurant caters to a variety of tastes and will leave you craving more. Make sure to request Jacoba as your waitress for exceptional service. With its phenomenal pizzas, commitment to dietary options, and inviting atmosphere, Scratch Kitchen truly stands out as a culinary gem.”

“Had dinner here with one of my friends! The service was great. The lady was very soft-spoken and did her job well. The ambiance was chic and elegant with a warm golden glow. Food was delicious. I had vegan dumplings 10/10 and the beet ravioli was in a coconut spicy creamy sauce which I . The fondue chocolate for dessert lovely but my one critique is at there wasn’t enough fruit and ladyfingers to dip into it compared to the amount of chocolate!”

“Totally disappointed! Toppings were very less, no taste, quality of the cheese was not good and it was filled with just bread/dough. Even the edges you can is just crust, nearly half I can say is just bread, they are badly skimping on the toppings. Vegetarian pizza with barely any toppings for $33? This was my first order from them and probably the last! I rate them 1.5”

“They have glazed white fish and considering that that is my favourite dish, I am already content with this resturant. The place was pretty empty when we visited, but it was pretty sad weather at the time. The food was not bad, but nothing special in my eyes.”

“Great vibe! Service was prompt and attentive!! The food was tasty!! If you like truffle, the fries are a must try. Creole chicken tasty with a nice kick of spice. The med bowl is a fresh, savory flavor of food.”

“This is a really good cafe in town, we came here for an evening snack and loved it here. There are a lot of board games that you can play when you come here with friends. Their chocolate and orange cake is a must try here. Enjoy reading a book or sit calmly for a coffee, you have everything you need for a peace mind.”

“Friendly staff , noisy dining room with tables quite close together. Pasta is really chewy/ undercooked. Peach Non-alcohol drink was $14 and came from a bottle under 250ml. very underwhelming. Burrata prosciutto was the highlight. Paid extra for Hokkaido scallops on the risotto but it was very disappointing and they sliced them up to small pieces , no sear. Focaccia bread was very good!”

“The service was by far the best we had in a long time. Never had tried their pizza’s we took a little bit to figure out what we wanted, was never rushed either. Didn’t have long of that much of a wait either. When we got our pizza’s the employee gave us free dip and this peach mango drink WOW THANK YOU!! Once we got to try the pizza’s it reminds us of Little Cesar when they were good. Everything came hot and the coffee crisp pizza it had nutella nut spread than actual crumble coffee crisp bar strange but good. Place was clean where you waited for your order.”

“The owner there was really nice and served us there. I decided to get the pasta and it was fantastic. The serving of pasta was just right and was very filling. The appetizers were also really good. I want to try their kebabs next time I go there. Recommended!”

“I'm 66 years old and this was the best pizza I can recall having. There was a mixup with our order and my wife and I had already started eating. The waitress brought out our order to correct the error that we didn't even notice. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Wish they would move to Manitoba.”
