If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine, The Golden Boot in Coquitlam is a must-visit. We recently dined there and had the Ferrari Pizza and the Funghi Pasta, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The Ferrari Pizza was a masterpiece of fresh ingredients and perfect execution. The thin, crispy crust paired beautifully with its rich toppings, striking the perfect balance between flavor and texture. It was clear that great care and quality ingredients went into every bite. The Funghi Pasta was equally outstanding. The earthy richness of the mushrooms combined with a creamy sauce created a dish that was both comforting and indulgent. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were well-balanced, making it one of the best pasta dishes we’ve had in a long time. The Golden Boot offers more than just great food; it provides an inviting and cozy atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The staff were warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making our evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a fresh and authentic Italian experience in Coquitlam, The Golden Boot is a gem worth discovering. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

A great Italian spot near Como Lake area! The pizza with its thin crust and fresh ingredients is fantastic—definitely the best I've found within a 15-20 minute drive from Surrey. The carbonara is okay, but I'm hoping to try a better pasta option in their menu. The service is always friendly and welcoming. I visit almost every month for the excellent pizza and warm atmosphere!

Came here for dinner tonight and we were impressed. We got lucky as we showed up early without a reservation and someone left as we walked in and got the only available table. The service was excellent. The pasta was really really good. Fresh made hot and lots of flavourful sauce. We will for sure be back to this family run restaurant. You can see they have pride in their food.

Although I had heard about the Golden Boots restaurant from my friends and acquaintances for a long time, I finally had the chance to visit it with a friend yesterday. The place has a cozy, ‘hole in the wall’ atmosphere, and the food feels homemade. I especially enjoyed the lasagna and penne alla vodka. The service was prompt and kind. I will definitely keep going back to this restaurant.

My wife and I came here for a date but left with a bittersweet taste. The staff are friendly and the sauce was amazing, but the pasta was quite hard and felt undercooked - I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be that way. For two dishes, we spent almost $60, hence the three star rating.

Family homemade taste, al dente is perfect and I highly recommend to choose rose sauce for pasta. This is like a boutique restaurant in Italy suburb. Great ! Vegetarian options: Yes.

December 1, 2024

If you want undercooked, bland entrees coupled with unfriendly service, this is the place for you. When the waiters drop off food, they do so with no smile or acknowledgement of your existence just, plop theres your food. Thankfully, the Caesar salad and pastas maintained the same experience by being flat. Though to be fair, the small tiramisu was pretty decent. Perhaps my standard of Ask for Luigi made this a poor experience by way of comparison. I cant imagine that one would find themselves enjoying this place unless their palate was basic or they didnt care for a level of human decency and professionalism. So, reading the reviews and seeing the 4.4 review, I feel a bit gas lit and shocked - each their own, I suppose. tldr - this aint it if you want good food or service

First time coming here ,as a coworker highly recommended this restaurant. My family and I came for dinner a couple weeks ago, after making resvs months in advance ,as needed. We were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant temperature was quite chilly ,the tables were a solid, hard stone which absorbed the ambient temperature and were also quite cold to the touch. The place was really bright and had a cafe or diner vibe to it. Shortly after being seated we recieved complimentary focaccia bread with oil, and vinegar. The bread was fresh and had good flavour. After a short wait we received our meals. They came out to the table steaming hot but after having 2 or 3 bites, the food went from steaming hot to really cold rather quickly.. I flagged down our waitress and mentioned this and asked to get it reheated. To which she suggested she could put it in a take out container and I could just take it home instead. I declined her offer as we were there for a family get to together.and had all just received our meals moments ago. The pasta dish was remade and once again came to the table steaming hot. But once again became cold very quickly.. The portion sizes left alot to be desired. The tortellinis were quite small in size and served in a very shallow dish The food had good flavour and the pasta was cooked Al dente, which wasnt to everyones liking, but I didnt mind. The ground pepper was a plastic ground pepper shaker from the grocery store with a Golden Boot sticker covering the label. The powdered Parmasean cheese was in a metal shaker ,like you would see on the counter at the take out pizza shop. Not a horrible experience but for the prices being at par or above other well known establishments, theres room for improvement.

Simple restaurant serving very good basic Italian food mostly pizza and pasta. There are so many places serving a good pizza, but not so many serving a good pasta. Well this is one of them. Their pasta dishes are just great, home made fresh pasta with amazingly good sauces. The fact that it s always full up means something and very reasonable prices. We re from Malta and travel to Italy twice a year, and the food here is as good as any Italian trattoria. We re on holiday and wife s sister lives just down the road from this restaurant and she suggested it to us. She said that the place was always very good. We will be back.

Had dinner here last night with two friends. I had the lasagna, one of us had the tagliatelle with creamy mushroom sauce and one of had gnocchi with bolognese sauce. We shared the mixed greens (loved the dressing and salad). All the food was exceptional! Too stuffed to even share dessert, but Ive had the tiramisu many times and even taken a container to go! Thank you for another outstanding and delicious meal. Service is always very good. Keep doing what you do, cuz you do it very well!

Ive been dining at the Boot for years and this was the 2nd time I came in to celebrate my birthday there. Service was excellent as usual and the food was excellent. My only quibble, and it was minor, was that they didnt have any of their cinnamon bun cheesecake.

★★★★★
September 22, 2024

Food was excellent, and portions were very good. The pizza was my favorite. Although we waited a very long time for our meal (more than an hour) and when we asked the server she just said theyre busy (no apology or check up on our order). We were quite peeved at first and were ready to leave. But the owner personally came out and apologized and really showed some quality customer service, he felt authentic and wasnt trying to make an excuse for what happened and we really appreciated that. Ill definitely want to continue supporting this place as the food was really good. I highly recommend the pizza which was superb.

The Golden Boot is a cozy traditional Italian restaurant in Coquitlam. This small, charming restaurant offers a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes, all made with fresh and delicious ingredients. The food is consistently great, and you can tell they take pride in their recipes. This place has been a staple in Coquitlam for many decades, serving the community with authentic Italian flavors. Pasta and pizza. It s the perfect spot for a cozy meal. Great staff. Worth the wait when it s busy. Friendly staff. I ve consistently had a good experience here (over 20 years), and I like that the pasta is cooked traditionally (al dente) and I love that it is made fresh daily. Bravissimo

This is our #1 choice place when we feel like Italian cuisine. The food is really good (I mean, Italian good, not like a bunch of pseudo-Italian places around here). It is a family place with a long history and very consistent food quality (top kudos to the chief!). They do know what al dente is, for sure. Prices are fair. The Wine list is wisely created and well balanced to match the food. The service is quick, responsive, and friendly. My only concern is the vibe but this is a matter of taste. Id better like a northern Italian, country-slow-food type of place.. Parking: Multiple parking spots at the restaurant and along the street

Me and my husband always come to this restaurant all the time we haven t gone in a long time I guess almost 9 months we went about two weeks ago the service was OK. The food was awesome, but we were rushed to leave because there was another table reserved at 6:30 and I didn t like that they were rushing us to leave. I didn t think that was Fair because we we are good customers as I know reservations should be for two hours. We weren t even there for two hours an hour and a half maybe. Apparently, my husband had to rush to drink his wine too for us to leave, which I was a nice either so I m gonna think twice I m coming back which I love the food but if I m gonna be treated like that, there s no point.

I don t eat Italian food often and was so looking forward to some carbonara but man was this a let down. I don t like leaving bad reviews but it s about honesty. I ordered the shrimp appetizer and a spaghetti carbonara which came out to $40. Portions were really small (7 small shrimp for the app) and the pasta tasted hard and old. I hope you can take this constructively and execute it better next time. The carbonara tasted ok but I prefer the classic style without cream, this version is too thick. Service was good otherwise, I was greeted with a warm welcome and everyone was kind and smiling. I did notice I was overcharged for my food but apparently that s because they have menu s that don t reflect their price increases.

Was told to try The Boot years ago, and I regret not going sooner! Cozy, casual atmosphere, solid Italian food and wine menu. Our server Manuela was warm and delightful, everyone was welcoming and upbeat. Loved the Seafood Cannelloni with tomato-cream sauce. My friends Linguini with (fresh) Clams was excellent. Portions ample, we skipped starters and just had the bread. Prices fair. So happy to find an independent, traditional Italian spot in this area for everyday or a special occasion! Parking: Small lot behind restaurant, more parking on Ridgeway and side streets.

The food was great per usual however I ve never received worse service in my life. The young server I believe named Julia was so rude, snapping back at simple questions asking for utensils and giving the general impression we were inconveniencing her by being there. If you want to have a pleasant experience, make sure to not sit in her section.

RAICST ALERT PLEASE AVOID the lady told us all tables were full. asked her if we could join waitlist but she told me they dont do such thing HOWEVER the other server soon asked us if we wanted to join waitlist like we were literally going to wait outside not knowing when to get a table. after hours of waiting, we still couldnt get in so i just went there to see if they have tables because we saw other ppl walking in What i saw there was jaw-dropping; there were literally more than THREE tables available. its clear that their servers are racist as you can also find out from other reviews. i thought we matter as much as other customers but looks like we dont loved how i wasted 2+ hours just to have this memorable experience . my first ever time regretting to be asain

Subosedly got rave reviews from friends at the Italian Cultural Centre but we were not impressed. Apparently a popular place as reservations are difficult. The atmosphere doesnt vibe Italian, per se..dark interior, lacked coziness. The cocktails were ok as were our wine choices. The caprese salad was ok, basic small slices of mozzarella on the tomato but nothing special. Have had much better. My lasagna was very good tho. Large portion, nice tomato sauce and tasted good, so kudos there, but my wifes carbonara was Not good..even after a second attempt at improving it. Al dente is fine, but not undercooked as this pasta was plus a bland, flavorless sauce was disappointing. We finished dinner with a couple of cappuccinos. It was an experience we had to try because of the recommendations, but there are other Italian restaurants we have frequented that are better. Se la vie. Maybe another time.. chi lo sa.!

The people are friendly and it has a nice vibe. But the food is terrible, small quantities, and just not good. Our pasta was just dry.

I also had a lemon cheesecake and it was ready dry and falling apart and just tasted strange. I wanted to love it but I was just a bit disappointed especially considering how busy it was

The Golden Boot is a gem of a restaurant in this part of Coquitlam that serves classic Italian dishes with a modern twist. I was delighted by the variety on the menu and quality of the food, the friendly and attentive service, and the cozy, be it a little dated, and inviting atmosphere. I started with the minestrone soup, which was hearty and flavourful, with chunks of vegetables and beans in a rich tomato broth. It was served with a slice of crusty bread, perfect for dipping. The soup was so satisfying that I almost forgot to leave room for the main course. For the main course, I chose the penne alla voka, which was one of the best Ive ever had. The pasta was cooked al dente, coated with a creamy tomato sauce that had just the right amount of saltiness from the bacon. The portion was generous but not overwhelming. It was a simple but satisfying dish that hit all the right notes. For dessert, I couldnt resist the tiramisu, which was highly recommended by everyone, I told I was going here. It was a heavenly concoction soaked in espresso and rum, layered with mascarpone cheese and cocoa powder. It was light and fluffy, maybe too sweet for me. My son definitely liked it more than I did. The Golden Boot is a place where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine without breaking the bank. The prices are reasonable, the portions are ample, and the quality is superb. Its no wonder that this restaurant has been voted as one of the best Italian restaurants in Coquitlam. If youre looking for a place to treat yourself or your loved ones, look no further than The Golden Boot. You wont regret it. Vegetarian options: They have a few options. However, suspect that there will be contamination with meat. Parking: For a place that is so out of the way, parking can be difficult. Wheelchair accessibility: These 1980 buildings are less accommodating to wheelchairs.

As an Asian, Ive never experienced this kind of racial discrimination at a restaurant in Canada. I really hope this was just a case of terrible service, but other reviews also mention feeling racial discrimination from the servers of this place. My husband, my two kids, and I entered the restaurant tonight for dinner and we waited for a long time standing, waiting to be seated. No acknowledgement or anything while waiting. We were finally seated (no greeting and really cold vibe from the staff) and again it took them forever to take our order. I asked many times if we could place an order and I kept getting ignored or got she will come to take your order while our server took order for another table and their food even came out before we could place our order. When other customers came in, they were all greeted and aknowledged right away. Food was good but were not coming back to this place for the obvious reason.

The Golden Boot is Classic Upscale Italian in a super casual setting. The setting is very come as you are. It is like a NY neighbourhood joint only it s in Coquitlam just steps away from Austin avenue. The Growing Austin Heights community has a real gem for Food , services, comfort and staff that have a great personality. We ve been several times now. Their Pizza is incredible. As are the Salads, soups and desserts. Vancouver casual atmosphere. Not a fancy place. Definitely bring your family. Parking is a bit of a challenge at times. But there is free parking in the area. Stop reading. Go here today. Parking: Very few spots up front. Street parking is available Kid-friendliness: Bring you family

Shockingly disappointed with The Golden Boot. We were ignored by the staff for five minutes waiting by the door to be seated before a cook from the back acknowledged our existence. While the food was decent, it did not make up for the poor service, dull environment, and higher prices. To top it all off, when we wanted to pay our bill, we were informed that we would have to walk to the bank to pull out cash as their debit machine was down. Even more infuriating was that they knew this before we had ordered anything, yet chose not to let us decide whether we would choose to stay and order or not. After being ignored while waiting to be seated for several minutes when we first walked in, we would have gladly taken our business elsewhere had we been told this at the appropriate time. I would not recommended anyone to dine in here who is looking to enjoy a nice meal out. Yes the food was good, but it s not cheap, so do yourself a favour and order take out and save yourself a frustrating and disappointing experience

Im giving the food 4.5 stars!! I have really been looking forward to coming to this place and was excited for the environment. But the young female server was so miserable and snapping at her co-worker. I loved the food but that kind of made my in person dining experience really uncomfortable. In saying that our male server was great!! but Ill most likely be ordering take-out in the future...

First off .. the service here is outstanding! Thanks to our gracious server .. Leigha!! First time visiting this neighbourhood Italian Caffe .. blown away by the friendliness of all the staffs on duty!! All Covid protocols are still observed and tables are well spaced with partitions. Our lunch highlights .. Caesar Salad .. maybe one of the best in town as it has a perfect balance of all the classic ingredients .. garlic .. olive oil .. cheese etc. romaine was super fresh .. a must order item! Minestrone .. not your everyday tomato based minestrone that we all came to expect, this one according to our server, is made by the Chefs own home recipe as each Italian home will have their own interpretation! This one is very hearty and full of vegetables, beans etc... Pappardelle Al Ragu Di Cinghiale .. long, flat wide noodles with slow braised wild boar sauce, a rustic dish that hits the spot with your first bite!! An addition of red chilli flakes adds an extra kick to this soulful dish!! As expected from the Chef, the homemade pasta was cooked to perfection!! I have already eyed a few items we will try on our next visit!! ( saw some great pizzas passing by us .. next time they will be on our table!! )

Hidden gem in the neighbourhood. I have lived 5 mins away for 10 years and have only just come here (that s my bad) but my goodness it was excellent. The food is clearly made with love and fresh ingredients and the service was equally caring and genuine. Our server (hopefully I caught his name right) Jacob was amazing. We shared their Pollo panini, Marenello pizza and pistachio cheesecake with some Italian beers during the meal and an espresso to finish it off with the dessert. Everything was fantastic or should I say strabiliante . To complete this authentically Italian experience I opted to ride my Ducati down for lunch and let me just say it was a perfect choice to add the cherry on top.

Just dined here with my wife for the first time. There was a bit of a wait but it wasnt that bad. When we were being seated we were given the option to sit at a taller table with bar type stools or at a normal table. My wife is pregnant so she decided to stay closer to the ground amd go with the normal table. We appreciated the care the waitress took right away. The waitress was very polite and friendly the entire time and checked in once in a while to see if we needed anything. I believe she was fairly new there but we were impressed with her hospitality the entire time we dined. We ordered a half prosciutto, half Margherita pizza to start. The pizza was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of char on the crust. My wife ordered the seafood cannelloni and I ordered the ricotta cheese and spinach tortellini. The pasta itself was delicious and was perfectly chewy. The filling was smooth and flavorful. Both portion sizes were good as well. We noticed that they had just put out a lemon blueberry cheese cake and since our 2 kids were back at home having fun we decided to indulge a little. The cheese cake was nice and creamy and a nice way to end the evening. When we got back home we told our friends about the food and the experience and recommended that they try this place out as well. We will definitely be coming back here and next time with a reservation. Parking: Dedicated parking out front and if that is full there is usually plenty of parking just up the street

Wanted to try this place because of the reviews but after trying not sure why theyre so high. The fresh pasta is a strong selling point but the lasagna did not have very much seasoning or flavour other than salt and you could barely find the layer of bechamel. We also ordered the pasta with the boar ragu and that was even worse - flavourless and the pasta smelled and tasted like old pork. The tiramisu was okay, but super sweet. I think the rating must just reflect theres not a lot of competition in the area.

The Service was superb A+. The Caprese Salad was a 2/10 what a mess honestly I would be embarrassed serving this dish. The free bread was nothing special. On the other hand the Napoli Pizza was great no complaints. For the main dishes we ordered gnocchi and vodka penne. The gnocchi came out looking like slop on a plate no garnish just an ugly plate of pasta fortunately the dish was tasty. Lastly the Vodka Penne. The presentation was better but still came out like slop on a plate. They charge a decent amount and I would expect a better effort in the presentation. In addition the portion sizes were not good. One plate of pasta wouldn t fill you up. Come on man your Nona would give you the wooden spoon for serving portions this small. There s no pride in the food they ve become complacent. The tomatoes were not heirlooms they re the cheap ones you get from superstore and the cheese was rubber and the dish was bland. The best part of the meal was the service.

Absolutely horrible and slow service, and mediocre food!!!! Arrived 80 min before we had to go to another event. We had a reservation and was seated immediately. The dining room was 1/4 full. Took about 15 minutes with the menus before we could order. The appy was served within 5 after that. And then we waited and waited, watching literally 20+ delivery/pickup orders go out (including a man who ordered at the cash right after we got our appy). No one was getting food in the dining room for 40 minutes. At this point, we already spent about 1hr waiting for our meals and was getting fed up. Others were leaving without food. So one of my party tried to call our waiter over (which took minutes to do) and then mentioned we had an event shortly to leave to, and been waiting here 1hr and wanted to cancel it. He apologizes and leaves to the kitchen. Within 2 minutes our food flies out. At this point we have like 5 minutes to scarf down our food, but even to ask for it to go, our waiter is nowhere in sight. So we scarf down our food. Both of the pizzas we got were subpar quality compared to othet italian woodfired pizzas. The panna sauce on the tortilini was actually delicious, however the meat in the pasta was very bland and not spiced. We couldnt enjoy our food even if we tried. The whole experience was terrible. Never coming here again.

Its a bit crowded at times, but the food and the service is fantastic. The pizza is incredible, and there is a good variety of other dishes as well. The bruschetta is especially good. Last night, I had the Chicken Breast special, and it was so damned good. The restaurant really feels like a family place, with the bustle and chatter that you would expect from a big Italian family. We had a wonderful evening on a cold snowy night. Reservations are definitely recommended.
