Great weather, so we asked for a seat on the outside patio. Our server was extremely helpful, honest. Started with a great bottle of wine, shared a mushroom risotto as an appetizer, then each had the halibut special. All were delicious! Server surprised us with...zeppole for dessert with 'happy anniversary' on plate. Fantastic restaurant, and would go again if stayed in Vancouver a bit longer.More

Reviewed June 14, 2022

Found this restaurant on social media, their pasta seemed to be worth a visit. The expectations weren’t too high but this restaurant blew it out of the water! The atmosphere within the restaurant is a more elegant/fancy one, which was unexpected. My girlfriend and I...shared the cacio e pepe pasta, which was prepared and served table side within a wheel of grana padano (Parmesan cheese). The lobster was certainly a great touch. The pasta was perfectly cooked Al dente, and extremely flavourful. Our waiter David was helpful, caring, and very energetic which only added to the experience. The sharing portion were adequate and we shared a garlic bread to finish it off. The prices felt fair considering the atmosphere, service, and food taste. Overall I strongly suggest this spot to anyone looking for a great Italian plate of pasta or good brunch (I oversaw a few other dishes and they looked good good!).More

Italian Kitchen has high customer rating and this is for a reason. It could be described as high end italian restaurant with white table cloths and sophisticated service. The personnel is very friendly and professional and service runs smooth and efficient. The menu is wide...and covers both traditional italian dishes and also some local specialities. We were hungry for fish and took fried salmon and halibut portions. Both were excellent and we topped it with mango rasberry cheesecake, which was also super good. Italian Kitchen was an excellent choise.More

The food we ordered was delicious the mushroom risotto was one of the best I’ve tasted. Wine was very expensive and not a great range to buy by the glass. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It was pretty pricey overall but we’d certainly recommend...it.More

Expensive and average quality food, the service was good but suggesting tips of up to 25% when you get the bill is not a good look.

This is a quaint little restaurant in bustling downtown Vancouver. Very reminiscent of restaurants in downtown Rome or Florence. The wine list is extensive and the menu although small runs the gambit of great Italian dishes. The focaccia is wonderful and I can’t suggest the...Torchio ai funghi and the Truffle spaghetti and meatballs highly enough. The service was excellent. Not cheap, but worth every penny.More

Loved everything about this restaurant. Fantastic food and service. Some people were dressy others in jeans. Casual yet classy. Caesar salad is unique...you aren't sure you like it at first, then it hits you and you want another order :) The carbonara is the best...I have had.. make reservations... seems very busy!More

The Italian Kitchen is my favourite Italian restaurant in Vancouver. Last night we took friends who were gluten intolerant and vegan......and I was concerned that the offering would be limited but the chef went out of his way to accommodate our guests dietary preferences. The...cocktails were delicious and very Italian, the wine list was good ( we had a lovely crisp New Zealand Sav. Blanc with our meal, and my double espresso at the end was as delicious as the carpaccio I started with.More

We love this restaurant. We where there for happy hour and the food and drinks experience were very good. The only little problem is that it take a little bit to bring the orders

We dine at Italian Kitchen every few months and always have a five star experience. The service is excellent. Cheerful. Attentive. Non suffocating. Always. The somm is a delight. Lots of good wine info - and tips. They were out of our choice but came...back with three options - all acceptable. We had appies - shared pasta and the shared steak - which is of exceptional value. Like all Glowbal Group restaurants - they do everything right. Every time.More

We reserved 6 weeks in advance to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and our only request was for a nice table for 2. We were sat at a door where there was a strong draft and had to wear a coat. The waiter acknowledged the...draft as we asked to be moved. At that moment, our pasta arrived and a table was being prepared for our move. By the time we moved, our pasta platter was cold and instead of reheating it, brought it to our new table. It was too cold to eat and 2 of the 3 pastas were undercooked. Also, at the new table, we were not provided napkins and had to ask for them. The restaurant was understaffed and 2 servers were attending to a full restaurant. Consequently, we did not enjoy our evening and politely left saying that we would definitely not return.More

Yes, nice jeans and a fancy top would be fine. We ate lunch during the Christmas holidays so some were dressed smart casual and others dressed for the holidays.

Pretty loud. Another amazing place is Gothem Steakhouse. They have a outside patio that looks like a garden and is heated. Very romantic 👍💕
