Roma Nord Bistro, Italian owned restaurant in the heart of the Kelowna's art district. Serving Authentic Italian Meals and Desserts, with a Charming intimate atmosphere.
Owner-Danilo provided us beyond above customer service. We enjoyed pasta and fish. They well deserved 5 star! Highly recommend to reserve your table! Thank you Danilo!!!
I attended a wine paired dinner with Red Barn Winery at Roma Nord Bistro. Danilo and his staff were incredible. The food was superb. So delicious. And so fresh. The ingredients are like nothing I’ve ever tasted in Canada, because most are imported from Italy. The wine pairings with the pastas were very thought out and enjoyable. This is a must eat in Kelowna. Grazie Mille!
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. You can feel the passion and love behind this family owned restaurant. The owners are so personable, coming by the table multiple times to talk and check in on how we were doing, and the rest of the staff are beyond knowledgeable. The food is truly some of the best Italian food I’ve had! So flavourful and generous portion sizes. It was such a beautiful evening. Kelowna is so lucky to have Roma Nord’s ❤️
We just experienced an amazing dinner with my family at Roma Nord Bistro this past evening. Our server Kristin was so attentive, thoughtful and provided us with amazing suggestions. We absolutely loved the Prosciutto E Bufala and the Gnocchi dishes were to die for. My boyfriend said the Tiramisu was the best he had ever had. We are already looking forward to coming back again!
I swear the carbonara was better here than Italy !!!! Cacio e Pepe was really good, the veal scallopine was super tender but don’t miss the FILETTO DI MANZO AL PEPE VERDE (beef tenderloin, cream, green peppercorn, Worcestershire sauce that is dream worthy) complementary Prosecco and bruschetta and lemon cello shots for a birthday where just the cherry on top for immaculate and attentive service
I have been to Roma Nord probably 6-8 times since moving to Kelowna. It is our go to date night spot and always exceeds our expectations. We always get the eggplant burrata appetizer, you cannot go wrong with it. The last visit, we had the lobster pasta and the squid ink shrimp pasta. It was our first time having the summer menu and holy cow was it ever good. I cannot recommend this place enough but make sure you make a reservation! They are usually booked 2 weeks out during the summer.
Amazing and authentic dining experience! We went out for a celebratory meal with two of our closest friends last night and had such a lovely time. The owner visited our table and ensured we were comfortable and felt welcome. Other restaurants take note as this is how you foster a genuinely memorable dining experience. We were greeted with complimentary glasses of Prosecco as well as bread with evo & balsamic (delicious). Our server was Daniele, he was fantastic. Daniele provided us with many recommendations as well as the authentic Italian pronunciation as he recently moved from there. Daniele was very attentive to any questions we had, ensuring we had drinks and felt welcome at the restaurant. We were really impressed with him, he makes a great addition to the team. My friend and I had an Aperol Spritz and it was great! I had the carbonara and wow what a treat. Loaded with flavour and the portion sizes were perfect. Don’t expect a quick in and out as with any delicious meal it takes time. If you are wanting an authentic Italian meal made by a woman who is passionate about creating memorable dishes then this is the restaurant for you! It is well worth the wait! We can’t wait to go back!
One word. WOW! The food was amazing. I got one of their original Italian dishes and oh man it was good. The owner went to each table to make sure the food was great! The menu has a large variety of dishes to please everyone. Portions are generous. Dishes are fairly priced. I do recommend to get a reservation because they are busy. If you’re looking for a real Italian experience, don’t look further, this is where you need to go!
Food and atmosphere were amazing. Highly recommend.
We had a delicious meal with excellent service. They nicely were able to fit us in without a reservation, even though they were quite full. I would recommend making reservation as this was a winter Sunday evening and they were packed. Server was professional and friendly, and added to the experience. We will definitely be back.
My friends and I had an excellent experience here during the event hosted by Red Barn. Mouthwatering pasta dishes paired with exquisite wine, and such friendly service. I hope they host more events in the future!
We had a wonderful evening of amazing food paired with beautiful wines from Red Barn. The appies, mains and dessert were all fantastic! Service and hospitality were 5 star!
Had a wonderful dinner of three different pasta dishes. This restaurants food is always delicious and well prepared. The staff is lovely - friendly and eager to help. Roma Nords wine list is excellent, and they always have several really good wines by the glass. Eat here without any hesitation.
We had a beautiful birthday dinner celebration. Very warm and welcoming greeting by the owner. Excellent service and attention. The food was delicious. Very accommodating to our two family members who don t eat gluten. One of the best dining experiences I ve had in Kelowna in a long time. We will definitely be back.
If we didnt already think this was our favorite restaurant, three weeks in Italy solidified it. Honestly, growing up in a primarily Italian food town (shout out to the Sault) and having spent almost a month in Italy, I am confident this is as good if not better than any Italian restaurant Ive been to. Weve been here for week night dinners, special occasions, work lunches and all I can say is I can all but guarantee youll have one of the best dinning experience in your life.
Danilo and his awesome staff at Roma Nord always deliver an amazing dining experience. Awesome location and fresh ingredients in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended.
Wonderful evening at Roma Nord on Monday for Red Barn Winery dining event. Food was homemade authentic Italian, service and ambiance GREAT! Highly recommend!
I recently had an unforgettable dinner at Roma Nord, and it was an absolute delight. The highligh was the pairing of Roma Nord s exquisite dishes with wines from Red Barn Winery. The wines complemented each course perfectly, making the entire experience feel like a match made in heaven. If youre looking for a top-notch meal with fantastic wine and excellent service, I highly recommend Roma Nord. A truly memorable dining experience!
We had a great experience at the bistro as it was our first time, but won t be our last. Great event with the team at Red Barn Winery as well.
Beautiful and authentic Italian food (and wines), incredible service, and wonderfully run by Danilo and Angela- a real gem of a place!
Wonderful prix fixe meal was enjoyed by our table of four, with friendly attentive staff and wonderful, plentiful food preparation. Ravioli in a butter sauce was a particular hit, along with a wild boar Fettuccine. Served with a selection of Red Barn varietals which paired wonderfully. Wonderful restaurant and recommended. Dietary restrictions: No MSG request was fully honoured
Another amazing experience at Roma Nord! We were there for a wine club dinner with Red Barn, and the food, service and atmosphere was awesome. Definitely recommend checking this gem out.
Excellent real Italian dishes, everything freshly made. Awesome service and Danilo was an absolute pleasure to meet. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back again for sure!
The mushroom ravioli was truly spectacular
Wow! What a great experience. While we were waiting for our table set-up the owner brought us some Prosecco. The wait staff were super knowledgeable about the menu and a great help with our wine selection. They also offer a great GF menu and it was delicious. The menu was based on Rome style Italian cuisine and was fabulous! The owner came to check on us, nice touch. I can hardly go back to try it again. Oh, and the wine selection was impressive.
I adore Italy, visited many times. Last night felt as if we were back there when my husband and I visited Roma Nord for the first time. The place had a nice ambience and even the jam session next door helped, though a little loud. Everybody was so relaxed and friendly and we loved the way, I think it was the owner, wandered around making sure everyone was happy. Best of all though was the food, it was awesome, so many choices, meaning we will definitely be back to try some more. My only negative is that the room was a bit on the cool side, so wear a sweater!
This was my first time visiting Roma Nord and it took me right back to Italy! Danilo welcomed us when we arrived and spent lots of time chatting and joking with us. The food was authentic Italian and came highly recommended from everyone that has been there. Make sure to make a reservation, you won t be disappointed!
Excellent all the way around , wow ! As Arnold Schwarzenegger once said. . . Ill be back ! Food
Fabulous experience for pre show drinks & antipasto. The owner was so friendly & welcoming. Our serve was just lovely. Will definitely be back for din with our friends.
Ive been a lot of places and Im pretty sure this is the best food, definitely the best service ever. Weve been twice and will go back.
Nice Italian place. However the food is a bit inconsistent. First visit was wonderful, second time around and with their recommendations, the Italian beef stir fry was not good and the pasta was ok. Great place for a coffee and dessert
Roma Nord is a true experience. The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing. Our waitress Sam was so amazing with the most pleasant disposition. I had the best ravioli I think I ve ever had. Danelo, I believe is one of the owners, is so kind and welcoming. Try this place you ll love it.
Never been to a place with such friendly service paired with so high quality food. It s usually one or the other but not here. Great pasta and my toddler loved the Shrimpies
Everything was complete perfection. My new wife and I came here while on our honeymoon (and no we didnt mention our honeymoon until the very end) and we were blown away. We were constantly asked how we were doing and to enjoy our stay with them. Food was amazing and the owner recommended a beautiful bottle of wine. Not sure how someone could rate less then 5 stars. Everytime we come to Kelowna we will definitely be back!!
Had a special evening here and absolutely everything exceeded expectations! A wonderful knowledgeable server, the owners personal attention and the most delicious carbonera Ive ever eaten made the night something well remember for a long, long time. Will be back...
The food, atmosphere was all top notch, it s like stepping into Europe. Most times I go out to eat and I m disappointed with the food, but all of it was delicious. This is our new go to spot
One star because zero isn t an option. I don t usually bother with negative reviews, but this experience was beyond outrageous. Just a few days ago, my sister made a simple request for a special risotto, and Danilo willingly agreed. After waiting 45 minutes with not so much as a glass of water, we politely inquired about the dish. What followed was nothing short of appalling! He slammed the table, snatched our plates, and told us to leave. He said his wife is crying in the back because she burnt the risotto. Excuse me, what kind of pathetic behavior is that? We simply asked about the status of our order. And dont agree to requests that you cant fulfill and definitely dont misbehave! Honestly, I wouldn t be surprised if the response to this review is something along the lines of, Don t come back or some other sassy deflection (as has been the response to some other reviews). Or maybe you ll just ignore it entirely. But here s a thought: have the decency to accept your mistakes and actually apologize to me and everyone else who had written a negative review. Best of luck tracking down my real profile if youre hoping to come back with some irrelevant comment about my personal life like you have done with others :)
The best Roman food you can wish for outside of Rome. Excellent host and amazing chef. Coming from Rome, we didnt expect such authentic cuisine. One more reason to go back to Kelowna.
My recommendation: sit down, ask them to pick the wine and food, and have the best meal you ve ever had.
Delicious food with wonderful service
I can honestly say the best Italian food Ive had since living in kelowna. The personal attention is exceptional. Highly recommend this place.
Beautiful all the way around! One of the best Italian places in BC.
Where to even begin? The food? The atmosphere? The staff? If you re looking for amazing top quality Italian food, memorable family experience and family unit vibes, this is the place to be. Not only was the food unreal. The staff hands down made the experience, we came late sadly but the owner himself made sure we were served even with the kitchen closing. Unreal service. Angela by far made our whole night, she made us feel like we were sitting at her own table in her own home, quality care service. She deserves herself her own 5 stars!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Roma Nord Bistro, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for an amazing evening.The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a fantastic experience. The menu offered a great variety of Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was bursting with flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces rich and delicious, and the ingredients fresh and vibrant.The wine selection was impressive as well, complementing our meals perfectly. The dessert menu was the cherry on top, with every option being as delectable as the last.Overall, Roma Nord Bistro exceeded all my expectations. Whether youre a lover of Italian cuisine or just looking for a great place to dine, this is the spot. I cant wait to return!
Roma Nord was an easy choice for our wedding catering because its our favorite restaurant in Kelowna, BC, and they truly exceeded all of our expectations! Danilo and his team went above and beyond, making our special day even more memorable with their outstanding service and incredible food. They accommodated all dietary restrictions with ease, ensuring that every guest had a fantastic experience. Our guests have been raving about the delicious dishes ever since! Roma Nord is not just a restaurant to us; they ve become like family. If youre looking for authentic, top-tier Italian cuisine with impeccable service, Roma Nord is the way to go. We cant recommend them enough! Photos to come.
Authentic with classic Italian service. One of the top restaurants in Kelowna. If your a foodie, youll love it!
Food was good but the service was excellent. Would return for the service alone.
Incredible Italian food! We had amazing service and loved all of the dishes we ordered. The fish was so fresh and the pasta was delicious. Loved the ambiance as well. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for gluten free dishes.
the food was amazing, danillo was SO great to us and our server denis was 10/10 - phenomenal food, service and atmosphere
Exceptional restaurant and family. We came here for dinner, and despite being fully booked, they were able to squeeze us in. The family and employees care deeply about the food and drinks, ensuring every plate is paired perfectly with a wine or drink. Don t miss out on the catch of the day, burrata and cacio e pepe.
The best service Ive every experienced and the food is always amazing! Would reccomend absolutely any time
Been here on multiple occasions and I can t speak highly enough. Great food experience service all around!
Seriously the most accommodating, warm, welcoming restaurant Ive ever been to. Lovely staff and ambiance combined with delicious food. This is our go-to restaurant in Kelowna. Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly
For those yet fortunate enough to embark on a culinary journey around the world or dine in some of its most celebrated restaurants, a visit to this gem is a must. Roma Nord in Kelowna is not just a restaurant; its an experience that rivals the finest dining establishments anywhere! Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by Danilo, the owner, whose presence throughout the evening ensured our dining experience was nothing short of impeccable. Our server, Caroline, deserves a special mention for her exceptional service, making our visit even more memorable. We commenced our meal with the burrata and prosciutto, a dish that showcases their commitment to quality, with both being imported fresh from Italy every two days. The taste? Simply incredible. Each course that followed, from the vibrant bruschetta to the meticulously crafted pasta dishes, was a testament to culinary artistry. In Kelowna, Roma Nord stands unparalleled. Its astonishing to find such sophistication in this locale and nothing else comes close to the overall experience. Whether for a romantic evening, a family gathering, or a celebration, this restaurant sets the stage for unforgettable moments, accompanied by exquisite drinks and an array of delectable dishes. **A Note to those have reviewed this place less then 5 starts across the board** I suggest a reevaluation or perhaps a broader exposure to culinary excellence. Roma Nord is unrivalled in this town and maybe even in Canada, deserving only the highest praise.
Had the best dining experience here recently. They were able to accommodate us with no reservation, but would definitely recommend making one in advance to ensure you don t miss out on coming here! Everything tasted amazing and the service was perfect. The owners were there at the restaurant which shows how much care they put into the quality/experience. Can t wait to return!
Amazing authentic Italian food! The best in BC
We were celebrating a birthday. The staff were great, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Great evening!! Vegetarian options: Spinach and cheese ravioli were delicious.
Super nice, the staff was amazing, dishes well pls you have to try ! 10/10
Our server, Sam, was very sweet and did an excellent job explaining the menu to us and keeping our drinks full. The food was very good and we loved the house made pasta noodles, and the veal was so tender!
Great food. Our server Samantha was attentive and just generally a very sweet/cheerful young lady.
Everything top! Super dinner and truly Italian dishes, Danilo the owner is the top!!!
This place just gets better. Outstanding service from start to finish from waiter Kevin, including a warning about my white shirt with the red meal I ordered, and a shipment of three extra napkins just in case. Wine recommendations were delivered in a flight.and the food was delicious!
We were recommended this Italian restaurant. It was just alright. The place was nice, but the restrooms were not at the same level as the restaurants! Too bad about that. The positive. The service was really good but the kitchen did not match. The drinks and wine were good. The online menu didn t match the actual menu. The courses we were hoping to order were not on the menu when we arrived. A little unfortunate, not an issue at all. We ordered something else. But several items on their menu were also not available that evening. Again unfortunate. But the ragù/bolognese was drowned with parmigiana, which was not stated on the menu. Very unfortunate. Some like it with, some don t, maybe I should been asked, maybe it should have been offered after, at the table. My understanding is that it s without, but can be added at the table. Then the dessert, we ordered two different ones, but they returned and said they ran out of their famous Tiramisu. A very easy dessert to make fresh, we ve seen it get prepared in like a couple of minutes in Rome, so they must have ran out of ingredients I guess. So we shared a different one. It was good but we were set on tiramisu. It was an okay evening. But to many things didn t mesh or go well. Would we come back, I don t think so
Stellar. Was expecting some good Italian food, got insanely good rustic Italian food. Great service, great food, great space. 10/10 would recommend.
Went for a bachelorette party such amazing food good company made our night perfect
Danilo & Angela run a great restaurant! The food is delicious and the waiting staff are kind and knowledgeable. We had the Paccheri Di Gragnano Alla Crema Di Gamberoni. Repeat customers.
The best restaurant in Kelowna by far. Everything is geared to making your dining the most relaxing and enjoyable it could be. You are immediately greeted, seated at a table with your name, and served water, bread and olive oil/ balsamic dip. Then, treated to a Proseco cocktail from the owner. The food was incredible, the service top notch and the atmosphere was relaxing. The owner is a gem, visiting every table and making you feel like a guest at his home. Bravo! Parking: 2 large parkades plus lots of street parking
Excellent pasta.
We are Italians, and going there is like to be at home, but better
As close to Italian food without the trip to Italy! Authentic dishes, large portions and great service. I loved watching the teamwork! There are LOTS of Gluten Free options including the gnocchi! The limoncello at the end was just like being in Italy. Grazie Mille! Dietary restrictions: Lots of Gluten free options
This gem of a spot is pure joy, Angela has the magic touch with the beautiful food and flavours presented, while all the staff are sweethearts and superstars. The pasta at Roma Nord Bistro is quickly becoming the reason I come to Kelowna. Thank you for the incredible experience and authentic tastes. I was transported to another place..
Absolute 10/10 restaurant. Loved it here! Dinello (the owner) was so inviting and our service was fantastic (Caroline). Will definitely be back. Definitely the best carbonara Ive ever had.
We had an incredible experience here the other night. They were super busy but we managed to get in and were so happy that we did! The food was unreal, Italian food doesn t get any better. The service was also outstanding despite the fact they were so busy. This place should be top of your list if you visit Kelowna - just make sure to make a reservation!
Amazing food and the owner was delightful
Ordered 2 pasta dishes. They took about 45 min to show up, unfortunately. The plating of the food was lazy and thrown together. At this price point, they missed the mark. Food tasted good, server did her best, but they need to up their game if they are going to charge $30-45 for some pasta. Will not go again, and I do not recommend.
Ive been wanting to try Roma Nord for some time now. I live nearby and have heard very good things. The good things you hear? Believe every single one of them. This was an experience quite unlike anything Ive encountered anywhere. The food was amazing, absolutely. But the service is what really blew me away. Everyone working there from the owner to the servers to the hosts are incredibly friendly and even playful. You can tell the staff like being there and truly want you to have a great experience. Sam was our server and she was fantastic. Her recommendation for dinner was exactly what I was looking for. Ive found my new favourite Kelowna restaurant. If you go, I would suggest making reservations because this hidden gem is becoming well known.
There are no words to describe the experience of eating at Roma Nord. Let me try! The Host was so down to earth, it felt like you had come home. The waiter Kevin outperformed and surpassed all expectations. His suggestions for drinks and food were spot on!! When the food arrived, it was like Heaven touching your palate!! The combination of ingredients were exquisite. Other waiters in the establishment supported our Kevin by filling glasses, replacing plates and cutlery with fresh ones and serving our dishes. Beautiful ambience! The best food and service ever!! Vegetarian options: The Truffle pasta was exceptional! Dietary restrictions: My grandson is allergic to milk, but there were tons of dishes for him. Parking: My son is an amazing driver and can fit into just about any spot. Free spots are just around the corner if you dont mind a wee walk. Parking garage near by. Kid-friendliness: EVERYONE is welcome Wheelchair accessibility: Absolute possibility
Hands down the best Italian meal we have ever had! The food, wine and cocktails were incredible, and the service from Kevin was second to none! Highly recommend!!
Been here many times and it s my absolute favourite. The food is just incredible and service is great too. If you are looking for real authentic Italian food Roma Nord Bistro is the place to go.
What can I say? Best food in town, hands-down. And our waiter was phenomenal! We ended up asking him to surprise us and did a family style meal with friends, and it was absolutely divine! If you eat at one place in Kelowna, eat here. You won t regret it
Dining at Roma Nord Bistro felt like a trip to Italy! The food was incredible, with perfectly cooked homemade pasta and rich, flavorful sauces. The husband served us with genuine warmth, while his wife, a former Michelin star chef in Rome, worked her magic in the kitchen. The personal touch of the owners made our experience truly special. If you want to feel like youre in Italy, this is the place to go.
Food was great and so was staff.
Food is truly amazing. Servers are also extremely friendly and professional. The only issue is that food takes very long time to serve. Our pasta took over a hour to get ready, which we feel bad for the owner, as kitchen is far away down the hall. Kitchen seems having limited capacity vs. Table available for customer. If more line cooks, accessible kitchen, the owner could have very profitable business. Overall, highly recommended if not having busy schedule.
Fantastic fresh pasta! Had a taste of everyone s (at our table) and all delicious, great flavours. Had scampi dish, seafood was tasty. Phenomenal wine menu and owner was very knowledgeable and willing to chat about wines. Best part is the friendly and personable service and attentiveness from owner. Family feel with five star food. Absolutely would go back when in town again! Highly recommend.
Outstanding. Such great food and service. The patio is lovely. Very authentic fresh pasta. We didnt feel rushed at all and enjoying the whole experience. Food : 5/5
Every time we dine here the food and staff are outstanding. Definitely a favourite of ours!
This is a great place for fresh pasta and amazing flavors. Staff is very attentive and helpful. The squid pasta was excellent, as was the GF pasta. Dietary restrictions: Great GF gnocchi!
Fantastic Italian food with a great atmosphere around it. Nice to see the owner involved greeting and checking in on guests. Highly recommend.
One of the most authentic Italian restaurants, I have ever been too. We started with the Bruschetta and a Carpaccio di Pesce, delicious! For my main I had the catch of the day Sea Bream. The fish was presented whole, by the Maestro himself, owner Danilo DAlba. With precision, and skill, quickly and carefully, he removed the fish filets from the bones. For dessert I had the tiramasu. A perfect finish. This restaurant has an extensive selection of Italian wines from many regions. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you to the great staff!
We dined as a group of 7 and every single one said we needed to leave a five star review. The service, ambiance, food, everything was outstanding. We cant wait to return.
Amazing food and staff.
Amazing good and amazing staff!
We enjoy bringing our out of town guests her. The food is so delicious, and the service is top-notch
Fantastic family operation... best Italian food in a very long time. Server was also great. Definite must eat here. Well be back ! Make reservations its always booked out 2+ wks
Always amazing food and service!
An incredible experience. First class service, fantastic wine list, and some of the best tasting Italian food outside of Emilia-Romagna!
They offer an excellent menu; whatever you order is amazing. Always receive excellent service!!! I definitely recommend this great location if you want to relax and feel at home!
One of my favourite places to share a meal with friends and family. What great food and atmosphere!
A gourmet Italian restaurant! Really good and sophisticated cuisine! Extraordinary service, super nice sommelier Kévin. Long live this restaurant! Be careful generous portion. Thank you for this beautiful evening!
If you want great food and excellent service this is the place to go. The owners and staff never disappoint and always exceed expectations. It is an authentic dining experience and we will always look forward to the next time we get to go. Danilo is the king of customer service and Angela is the queen to our pasta castle Food
Wish I could give more than a 5 star. This is the best food in town and best service!! Once you try it you won t stop !
An authentic Italian spot in Canada: we tried different pasta (gnocchi, cacio and pepper, carbonara) and meat and all of them were very delicious and remind me of Italy. You can t miss their tiramisu ! Beautiful location and staff. Danilo, the owner, is very kind, qualified and a real Italian from Rome! Absolutely recommended!
Fantastic and authentic Italian dining experience! We had the Caprese salad to start, two pastas for mains and the tiramisu for dessert. Food was delicious, excellent outdoor patio atmosphere and the staff truly went above and beyond with customer service. The owners (FOH manager and head chef) are lovely people and went out of their way to explain the authentic Italian ingredients to us when we had a few questions about the menu. This place has a very personal touch and you can tell the owners take great pride and care deeply about the food quality and the customer experience. Great place for a date! Grazie mille, 5 stars Vegetarian options: There seemed to be many vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: There looked to be many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options available Parking: There is free street parking after 6pm a block down from the restaurant. There is a paid parking lot right out front of the restaurant and there is also paid street parking right in front of the restaurant until 9pm.
What an incredible slightly hidden gem in Kelowna! I recommend making a reservation as it was rather busy, but every single staff member was so incredibly kind and helpful. The owner greets you as soon as you walk in and answers any questions you have. I got the espresso martini, amtriciana, and sgroppino. While I was expecting something different with the pasta, everything was incredibly delicious and flavourful. I will definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.
Exceptional food and service. You truly feel like you re back in Italy. The quality of the food and the love that is put into every dish is truly magical. Thank you for sharing your love for food with all of us.
Roma Nord was an excellent place for celebrating my wife s birthday. Everything was exceptional; service, food, atmosphere were all top shelf. Danilo greeted us and shared a bit of his story about the restaurant. His wife Angela, the chef, prepared an amazing dinner for us. Kristen, our server, was knowledgeable, attentive and helped make the night amazing. Thanks for helping make our evening memorable we will be back.
Excellent Carbonara. Use quanciale. Authentic Italian cuisine. Interior of restaurant needs redesign. Lose the counter!
My Italian-Croatian heritage feels right at home every time I dine here. Amazing service, delicious food, and an intimate venue. Best Italian food in Kelowna!
Absolutely lovely evening at Roma Nord this evening. Thank you for the recommendation Marieke & thank you Caroline for the exceptional service & wine recommendation. Our whole experience was fantastic & our food was delicious, the steak & sauce were one of the best. Also a big thank you to Danilo for making us feel so welcome and at home in your restaurant, we can t wait to return and try the summer menu.
My wife and I had dinner here before a show at the Arts Centre. My wife had the Carbonnera, and I had the Cacio Pepe. Both were fantastic, and our Martinis were excellent. The bread and oil was unbelievable as well. This will be our new go-to for fine Italian cuisine. Atmosphere was pleasant, although the neighboring jazz made our conversation a little difficult at times.
Super friendly staff and amazing management Great service with delicious food ! Lots of tasty dishes to try with a very good wine list I highly recommend this establishment. Food : 5/5
Our family visited Roma Nord last week and it was an incredible experience. Sam was our server and she was super knowledgeable and accommodating for our one member with food allergies. The food was superb and the whole atmosphere was very inviting. We will definitely be coming back!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I cannot stress this enough. Impeccable service. Amazing food. The espresso and tiramisu...nevermind it was too good to mention. 1000% out of this world
What an absolute gem of a place. The owners come to your table to make sure that your dining experience is second to none. Kelowna needs this type of service. In a city where everything is come in, spend money, and get out , this place has nailed the customer service experience. Top notch. Will be back, and will definitely tell people to come dine here. 5 stars for sure.
A+ service, great food, great atmosphere
Please go here! It was my birthday dinner, they brought out some prosecco for us to toast. The food was so delicious! The waiters were so helpful! I would love to go back here! One of the nicest Italians Ive been to!
We recently visited Roma Nord for the second time, and once again, it was an exceptional experience. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. I highly recommend it to anyone living in the area or visiting. Every dish on the menu is outstanding, making it difficult to go wrong with any choice. The Zozzona dish surpassed my expectations, and my wife had the classic carbonara. The owner, Daniello, adds an extra layer of charm and atmosphere to the place and is always a pleasure. However, during our recent visit on a Saturday evening at 7pm, we did feel a bit rushed. Our appetizers were brought to the table within moments of being ordered, followed closely by our main courses. While the speedy service didnt detract from the quality of the food, it did affect the pacing of our evening. We spent approximately 45 minutes at the restaurant before feeling it was time to leave, which was slightly quicker than we anticipated. Despite this minor setback, our overall experience at Roma Nord was fantastic.
Wonderful people, very delicious food and friendly environment. We will come to see Danilo again and again for sure. Grazie
Ciao Danilo. Thanks for everything. Delicious!!
Everything was amazing.
Good place .. fast service tasty food .
Absolutely fantastic place. Owner and staff are very personable and help to provide an excellent experience. Food is amazing as well. Highly recommend getting a table to anyone who hasnt been there yet.
Hands down one of the most incredible dinner experiences ever. The food was absolutely delicious, it felt like we were in Italy and the service was out Fantastic! We will definitely be telling all our friends and we will be back Thank you so much
This place was amazing , from start to finish ! Even seen the owner & his wife on floor interacting
My boyfriend and I came here for our 3 year anniversary and really enjoyed ourselves. Food was amazing as well as the service and atmosphere! Can t wait to come back to try everything on the menu! They made our night really special! Thank you!
One of the best hospitality I ve received. The menu was hard to understand but the server really helped us guide through the menu and everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I had a really good time having dinner with the family.
This was my first time eating at Roma Nord and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The owner and staff were so lovely and welcoming. They went out of their way to say hello and check in at every course to ensure our meals were perfect. The food was beyond delicious and I can t wait to go back. Thank you for a lovely evening! Dietary restrictions: As someone who is celiac, there were many gf options. The kitchen took great care in ensuring my meal was gf.
100% recommend Roma Nord! Dinner and appetizers were delicious and staff was wonderful. The owner even wandered around saying hello to patrons and making sure everyone was enjoying their meal. Theres a reason this place is full most nights. Cant wait to go back again!
Wonderful Dining Experience. I took my wife and daughter there for Valentines Day, and from the moment we walked in the door, the reception we received was very personalized and welcoming. They had Roses for my wife and Daughter, and even had Prosecco (ginger-ale for my daughter) so we could have a Valentines Day cheers. The food was excellent, as youd expect, but the service and atmosphere was what really shone. Our server, a young Italian fella, was on point. He was attentive, informative, and you could tell was dedicated to providing an excellent experience. Im assuming the older Italian gentleman was the owner, and he was really fun to watch as he worked the room. We watched as the staff worked together in harmony, checked on each others tables, and just made it a really enjoyable meal. My only small minor gripe, was we were seated right beside the door, and it was a cold night, and the door opened frequently, so my daughter was so cold she couldnt take off her winter jacket and had dressed up for the occasion. However, the staff was so pleasant, we didnt want to trouble them by moving. I would suggest on cooler nights, maybe dont seat that table. That being said, our drive home was discussing how excited we are to go back, and what menu items we are all going to get next time. Well Done! Cannot wait to visit again!!!
We had a great evening, the food was amazing. Danilo made us feel at home right from the start, and all along our dinner. We will come back next time we are in Kelowna. Highly recommend! Food
This is a must go-to place. As an Italian, I can confidently say that both the food and wine is very traditional and delicious. I cant tell you the last time I saw Tortellini in Brodo on a menu in North America. As someone from Bologna, I felt at home. Then theres Danilo, an amazing and lovely man from Rome, who you can tell cares about what he does, and he does it well. He always has a smile on his face, and greets everyone who walks in the restaurant. The staff is great, everyone always smiles, and makes sure that youre having a good time. The place is always full, and you can tell that everyone has a great time, whether theyre having dinner with family, friends, or on a date. I had such a nice time that I went for dinner the very next night. I cant wait to be back in town and go to Roma Nord again. See you guys next time, graze mille!!!
This is the best Italian restaurant in Kelowna if not BC. The food is as close to Italy as I remember. The owner is the nicest guy. You just know he and his family have poured their heart and soul into the restaurant and it shows in the food, service and ambiance.
We had a belated Valentines dinner at Roma Nord. What a beautiful restaurant. Upscale but casual if that makes sense. The owner is a lovely gentleman and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious and beautiful as well. Highly highly recommend.
A group of 7 of us went there last night and it was exceptional service by the waitress named Sam who recommended amazing food and cocktails. The sommelier came over to tell us about some incredible wines and the owner came over to greet us. The food was AMAZING!! What a gem this place is, we ll definitely be back!!
FINALMENTE IL MIGLIORE ! ( FINALLY THE BEST !) Arguably the best Italian we have had ever. Great menu, Great wine, and an amazing team. We will be back again and again. GRAZIE + BRAVO Angela and Danilo.
Food and service excellent. Was a bit chilly inside as it has very high ceilings. Great atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: Level access
Easily the best authentic Italian food we have ever had the pleasure of eating. Amazing atmosphere, the owners are incredible and the service was impeccable. Griffin is so friendly and knowledgeable, he is one of a kind. Thank you for making New Years Eve something special. We will be back very soon! #griffinisawesome! Dave & Denise
The best Italian food in town and by far the best Italian food I ever tasted. Come se dice in italiano Grazie mille for a one of a kind food experience
Amazing service! The servers already had bread with olive oil and vinegar and water poured for us right when we sat down. The owner also offered us a small complimentary plate of bruschetta while we were waiting for our food. The whole crew worked together to wait on our table whether it be refilling the water or clearing plates and it definitely didn t go unnoticed. The food and drink was also amazing. Thanks so much!!
Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Kelowna. Every time ive been the food is amazing, staff is very pleasant and they treat you like your family.
First time visit. I don t know if I can put into words how lucky we are to have this tremendous bistro in Kelowna. The service, atmosphere, attention to detail and of course the food are 15/10. If you haven t been, go! Just go.
The best. Finalmente un italiano vero. The food is amazing. The pastas are especially great! Wine is top notch and service is always welcoming.I will come back for sure! If you want a real Italian this is the place.
Always a great experience dining here. Service and food always excellent! Food
Dined here with a large group for a birthday celebration and it was absolutely amazing! Service was incredible and made you feel right at home as soon as you walked through the door, staff were excited for our arrival which seems like a rarity these days. Everything from recommendations of wine and food, it is clear that the staff take pride in this restaurant as they should, it is excellent. Everything was timed so nicely, allowing us small breaks through courses- we were able to thoroughly enjoy our experience and not feel rushed whatsoever. As a local group, funny enough.. it was a first time try for the 8 of us and it has become our new favourite. Thank you so much Roma Nord for such a special evening filled with amazing wine, food and exceptional hospitality!
My husband and I were there a month ago, and we can t stop savouring the memory of our meal there. First we arrived without reservations and the place was packed, but the owner(?) graciously found us a table inside. The wine menu was vey nice and reasonably priced, we chose a wine from Montepulciano which was wonderful. We started with a burrata with speck, fabulous, wish it came with melon on the same plate. (We should have asked for it, the owners were so accommodating I think they would have been happy to oblige.). The balsamic vinegar that they used with the bread dip was noteworthy! I had the truffle ravioli dish, and I was in heaven! My husband had the squid ink seafood dish and felt the same! We enjoyed such a relaxing, outstanding food experience there we can t wait to return and take our friends. Oh, and I can t forget to mention the coffee....we ordered Americans, and they were the best coffee we ve had since our last trip to Italy! Start to finish, FABULOUS, and they topped it off with delicious lemoncello, too! Wheelchair accessibility: There was a disabled parking spot right in front of the restaurant, and lots of parking across the street.
5 stars is a joke. It should be 10! Wonderful experience. Classic Italian style restaurant with warm service. Beautiful olive oil and bread to start. Welcoming owner and staff. Beautiful food. Simple, as it should be. And absolutely delicious. Worth every penny two times over. I would recommend everyone going, but also dont want to tell anyone because it is so hard to get a table. Perfect Italian experience in Kelowna
Great hidden gem. The family running this place know what they are doing. Great addition to Kelowna restaurant scene. Really want to come back here next time I m in Kelowna.
I am Italian (from Rome) and I have been living in Canada for almost 12 years now Having dinner with my family in this place brought tears to my eyes Every dish was perfectly made and tasteful The service was great, everyone was welcoming us and Chiara is the best. She was very helpful suggesting us dishes that were amazing The restaurant has a perfect Italian style with an Italian family touch perfect for every occasion My only regret is I live in Vancouver and I will not be able to go there every week Grazie per la splendida cena
So good! Didn t know what to expect but we had the most wonderful Italian meal in this restaurant last night. Highly recommended. Give it a try, you won t be let down. Food
Amazing dishes and wine.
Celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with our kids and grandkids (4-8 years) - amazing food, atmosphere and service. We were served with a complimentary glass of champagne to start. The server then had us order meals for the littles which kept them busy while we relaxed with our drinks and appies and meal. The service was top-notch and we relied on our server to recommend our appetizers and meals - he did awesome! I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant for the atmosphere, service and delicious Italian meals - cannot wait to try it again. Thanks so much Roma Nord Bistro
Food
All 4 dishes at our table were subpar. My meal was gross. 2 of our meals with no alcohol was almost $80 total waste of money.
How to feel in Italy in Kelowna!!! I thank Danilo and Angela for making me experience this wonderful sensation. A welcoming place with meticulous service, the feeling of being in Italy starts at the opening of the menu, the name of the dish is in Italian as it should be in an Italian restaurant abroad, so it is not distorted, modified, invented, and with the subsequent description in English, well done. The dishes on the menu vary from land to sea, youll want to try everything! The choice of wines is also top notch. The table service is excellent as is the presentation of the dishes, followed by their goodness, the appetizers, the Burrata served with the caponata is amazing, the first and second courses of excellent quality. Congratulations to Angela who manages the kitchen in an impeccable and very good way, just as many compliments go to Danilo who does the same with the dining room, its nice to see the owner of the restaurant going around each table and conversing with his customers!!! Well done guys
A nice traditional Italian cuisine, personally suggest trying their Burrata a la caponata.
The best Italian cuisine in Kelowna
Overall 10/10 experience. Amazing food, great atmosphere and the best service you can ask for.
Perfecto! The food was amazing. The service was attentive, friendly, and prompt. Excellent wine list. Everything was perfect. (Dollars per person included wine, appetizers, entrées, and dessert) Food
The food is only the best of Italian cousine (and all from Italy). it s hard to find such a high level of attention and passion even in Italy, here is simply a miracle. The service is impeccable, staff is warm and lovely, basically a second family. They really made me feel at home back in Italy. Like every Italian grandmother they always find a solution for you , whatever time o even if they are busy.... lovely and sweet , me and my colleagues we eat here at least 1or 2 times a week for 2 months, we soon became part of them and they are part of us. I wish every Canadian come here long enough to understand the Italian welcome culture, and how to appreciate a delicious meal and the delicate art of food. Real taste of Italy , from Italian with Italian ingredients and Italian love. Thanks Roma Nord bistrò
Had an amazing dinner here last week. True, authentic, Italian food with amazing staff.
Always loving coming here. The owners and staff are amazing. They are so hospitable and make you feel like you re in Italy! We are big fans of the truffle ravioli and the squid ink/prawn/guanciale pasta. Definitely go there and order a few dishes and share with friends!
Great food and staff atmosphere is wonderful and the owner is always accomidating and pleasant
Always fun
Delizioso! Such an amazing experience - delicious, fresh food. Friendly staff and a beautiful little patio!
This is absolutely amazing place with cordial owners and staff! The food and wine is great, we will surely be back.
Such an amazing experience! Can t wait to go back. Felt like we were in Italy. Amazing service and food! Dietary restrictions: So much gluten free!
I have been to Italy. The food in Italy is amazing. Upon returning I thought Ill never have Italian food in Canada that is as good as in Italy. I was wrong. Roma Nord Bistro is amazing. I felt like I was back on Capri having dinner in the clock tower, (if you have been to Capri youll know). The food is authentic Italian food, NOT some westernized version. Roma Nord will be the ONLY Italian restaurant I will go to in Kelowna. Sorry but the others just do not compare. If you dont give them 5 stars for food then dont ever visit Italy because youll only complain about the food there. Roma Nord is amazing. One more thing, dont just drop in. You need a reservation. If you think you can just pop in and get a table you cant. Even if you see an empty table, doesnt mean it can be given to you. I have read a review from someone who just popped in looking for a quick bite, you cant do that its not McDonalds. Make a reservation.Make a reservation. Important to say. twice. To give a poor rating because you feel so entitled is wrong. Honestly. Roma Nord, best restaurant in Kelowna by far. Already planning to go again with friends. Thank you so much Roma Nord.
There were 6 of us for dinner. The food was simply amazing. All dishes came out hot and fresh. Incredible flavours. Our server Griff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with our decisions. Definitely coming back to this gem. Atmosphere would have been 5 stars if the music was a little louder. Overall excellent! Food
if you see any other italian restaurant ranked ahead of Roma Nord, it is incorrect. this is best italian in town, by far. thank you for being here danilo and family! cannot wait to come back. bruschetta is a must have, then pick any dish - you cant go wrong.
I had the House Made gluten free gnocchi with a tomato basil sauce topped with parmesan. A generous helping of gnocchi with a generous portion of tomato sauce topped with parmesan and basil. I was in danger of not finishing this dish but I persevered. I visited in the early afternoon and staff were obviously preparing for a busy evening. Reservations are likely recommended for evenings, especially if there is a show on at the Rotary center that evening. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back. Dietary restrictions: Very nice selection of gluten free pasta options, and staff appeared aware and cautious of gluten allergies.
I loooooooove Pasta and I was so excited to try a pasta dish here. Unfortunately the pasta wasn t good. It was absolutely tasteless. All I could tast was salt. Also, they only had one or 2 vegetarian options. My husband was happy with his food. He ordered ravioli and it was tasty. That is why I gave them 3 stars. My pasta would even get one star.
Amazing atmosphere.This establishment is worth a visit.
My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in Italy and this restaurant was everything we wanted it to be! The Cacio e pepe was amazing & the steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. We were absolutely thrilled to have such an incredibly authentic Italian experience. The food and atmosphere did not disappoint. We will absolutely be returning customers. Grazie mille for an enjoyable evening!
Had the best experience and food! The staff was incredible and the owner came over to check on us and gave us some recommendations on what to order. There were 5 of us for dinner and we all ordered something different and all loved what we ordered. The food was authentic, fresh and delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough and cant wait to go back.
Best salad I have had at a restaurant so I am giving 5 star as I do not want to down the rating however my husband and I came here for dinner and I was super excited as I thought the ravioli was gluten free because it says so beside it and not gluten free available but it wasn t and the waiter was not very understanding with my questions and when I asked again if the gnocchi that they substitute it for was stuffed as ravioli he was going to explain to me what gnocchi is which I had to say I know what it is point is I got some sort of sea bass dish that was terrible it has to be the worst fish dish I ve had in my life and my dad is a chef and I ve eaten at a lot of different high end places and I definitely thought that for $40 my sea bass would be served whole as I have never seen sea bass served cut before which made it dry tough and fishy and was also grey in colour which is odd I did not eat it and multiple people heard me say it was fishy walking past and said nothing as well as the server who saw I did not eat the fish and my husband had to put the gnocchi in his pasta sauce to cover the fishiness I regret not taking a picture as it looked like dog food when it came out and I did not feel comfortable with the waiter to send it back after the whole ravioli situation I can get the same gnocchi with better sauce at mi amore as my husband said his pasta sauce was bland as well my mom was super excited to try but definitely not now
I have been lucky enough to eat here a few times. The food speaks for its self absolutely amazing. I want to talk about how most families save nowadays to go out for dinner with the cost of life it is a treat. This is amazing food for a more than reasonable prize we as a community need to support this restaurant so we never loose it. Absolutely amazing all the way around
I have been to the restaurant a number of times and each time is better than the time before. The food is amazing and service outstanding. I highly recommend trying this restaurant.
Mamma Angela was an excellence in Italy before being one in Canada, where she brought the true flavors of Rome and all the nuances of RomaNorth. You enter RomaNord Bistrot and think that upon exiting you could find yourself in Ponte Milvio, but instead you are in Canada in Kelowna. RomaNord bistrot is not Roman cuisine, it is the best Roman cuisine you can taste. Thanks to Danilo and Angela. Excellent service. Wines researched. Unforgettable food.
Absolutely the best! Our favourite restaurant by far.
Everything about Roma Nord Bistro is amazing. The hospitality was remarkable. The food was delicious, I have never had food that is so amazing. They have TONS of gluten free option, being celiac it was so great to have so many options. Thank you Roma Nord Bistro for giving us such an unforgettable experience! Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options, almost everything can be made gluten free.
I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this place. We were recommended by a few friends before we tried it and have been back several time since. The food is fresh, homemade and absolutely fantastic. Take Danilo up on his food and wine recommendations because he truly knows what s good. His wine recommendations are out of this world. I can wait to be back next summer and drink more of this wine (which, I haven t been able to find anywhere). Apparently I ate my amazing pasta (mama Angela) before I took a photo
The tables are spaced about 12 inches apart from each other, so you can hear everyones conversation, no privacy at all. There isnt a lot of food that I like, so I went online to make sure there was something I could order and I saw a pastor and lobster dish that I was really looking forward to trying but when I got to the restaurant they said they didnt have any. They were two other pasta dishes on the menu that they didnt have either. No other dish appealed to me so I had two appetizers instead. The bruschetta was excellent but I did not like the tomato and mozzarella salad at all, the tomatoes were very over ripe and just falling apart. I would not go back because there arent enough main dishes for people who dont eat meat (as they were out of three of the non-meat pasta dishes). And as I said, the tables were so darn close together that I would never return to a restaurant that crowded everybody together so much. Everyone wants space and a little bit of privacy at the dinner table. UPDATE: to the owner who said I should be ashamed for this review, really??? I was posting a very honest opinion. I said there werent enough MAIN dishes for people who dont eat meat and you posted about 10 items that were in the appetizer menu, and included a couple of the MAIN menu selections that were NOT available the night that we were there. I stand by my review which was 100% accurate.
If I could give this place a 10, I would give it 11! Our dinner at this restaurant was truly outstanding. The staff welcomed us warmly, the atmosphere was delightful, and the food was incredibly delicious, leaving our group thoroughly impressed. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the restaurant team for creating such a memorable experience. They paid close attention to every detail, ensuring everything was perfect. Were already looking forward to returning for more special occasions in the future. Grazie!!
Outstanding food service and a real Roma experience. Best pasta I have had in years. Griffin provided great service, Danillo is a restaurateur extraordinaire and his wife Angela, is a chef with exquisite culinary sense. The Raviloaci, carpaccio, prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella were to die for. Outstanding food. Incredible value.
This was an absolutely beautiful experience. We were greeted like family by owner Danillo, served with exquisite attention by Griffin, charmed and served by Guiseppe and the food prepared by Angela and her team was above all expectations. Every bite was exquisite- with beautiful wine to complement our meal. This by far has been a highlight to our visit in kelowna. We wish you much success and certainly look forward to visiting you again Mille grazie dal cuore
We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic dinner there two nights ago. The food was incredible. The owners and servers were so genuinely kind, it blew us away. We did a family style dinner for six people and loved every single thing that we had. Don t look anywhere else - go here. If we lived in Kelowna, we would enjoy dinner there every week.
Place was a bit pricey but it was really good.
My friends did a surprise birthday dinner for me last night and we were all absolutely wow ed!! This was the first time there for all of us and the waiter was excellent at explaining everything from menu ingredients and backstory to recommendations to accommodate all of our dietary needs. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, and the complimentary Prosecco and limoncello was also very wonderful. 10/10 would recommend Roma Nord to anyone looking for a 100% truly authentic Italian dinner experience. We will all be back!
I had my birthday gathering a few weeks back. We booked it for a Thursday so we could listen to the live jazz and have dinner. Danilo the owner and our server were so hospitable. Great service lots of laughs and delicious food. The gnocchi are like pillows of potatoes. The burrata was delicious! I highly recommend dinning here and trying some of their wines and cocktails! I will definitely be back again!!!
Why are you reading the reviews just go here its amazing
I finally felt like home at Roma Nord. I m Italian and I work in the hospitality, right away I noticed a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, over the evening everything was running smoothly and guests look all pleased. It looks so easy but on a Wednesday the Bistrot served I guess around 100 customers. There s a lot of work behind the scene. Angela is the owner and Chef, she doesn t allow anyone to touch her artwork. The food is exactly how it should be: real, fresh, rich like the Roman tradition wants, authentic. The wine list is accurate and unusual. Danilo, co owner and Angela s husband, is the best host you can ask for: attentive, warm, with an endless smile on his face and a charming sense of humour. Grazie Roma Nord Bistrot, now I feel a little less far from home. Kid-friendliness: We were able to get a better table because we had our little 8 weeks old with us
Absolutely wonderful dinner here for my wife and my anniversary! We started with the smoked speck and burrata, which was incredible! For our mains, I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli, and they were able to make a gluten free carbonara for my wife! Both mind blowingly great! We had tiramisu for dessert, which was some of the best tiramisu Ive had! Our waiter Griff took great care of us while we were there. When he heard it was our anniversary he brought us each a glass of Prosecco. He was able to suggest a fantastic glass of wine to pair with dinner. He was very attentive but never overbearing. Danilo stopped by our table to see how we were doing and to say hello! It was a nice touch that felt like being over for family dinner! The food was incredible, all the staff we interacted with were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. Great experience at Roma Nord bistro, and cant wait to go back next time were in Kelowna
Now THIS is authentic Italian cuisine! There is so much care and hospitality you are greeted with before you are even seated. The staff recommendations are outstanding and you are guaranteed to have a lovely time here, with food cooked to perfection! We were a table of three and we have never been this full, but looking back we wouldn t have given up any item we ordered! We had: - burrata à la caponata (Burrata with olives and bread) - pepata di cozze (Mussels) - gnocchi al pomodoro e basilico (Basil topped gnocchi) - spaghetti all a puttanesca (An Italian staple! Pasta complete with white cod olives and capers) - tagliata di manzo al funghi porcini (300g steak with mushrooms) - pere rughetta parmigiano e noci (Arugula salad with pears!)
Excellent Italian food service and ambience.
Roma Nord Bristo is a really good italian restaurant. The owner is very generous and always eager to please. So glad Kelowna has a nice gem like this.
Fabulous girls night here! The food was sooo good. Ate Italian family style. Shared some pastas and it was perfect! The owner (the papa) was so sweet and great. His wife is the chef and is doing an amazing job in the kitchen. We will be back! Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Disappointing experience but not necessarily the restaurants fault, has the makings of a really good restaurant and we saw why it was highly recommended by friends. Service was top notch, owner was great, and the food was high quality but we ordered wrong as we weren t able to hear the server or each other due to an incredibly loud band We went on a Saturday night at 7 pm for my girlfriends 30th birthday. After setting up a reso 2 weeks earlier and dressing up nicely we were looking forward to an intimate dining experience and were very excited. We walked into a full blown Halloween party on the other half of the restaurant- I think they share the space with the arts centre and likely had no control, they apologized. My girlfriend and I were not able to talk as we listened to a live band on max volume singing bar classics like living on a prayer . The band was actually great funny enough. I understand it may not be the owners fault, but the shared space and noise pollution ruined a milestone birthday and we left very disappointed with the experience. Will try again eventually but a bit apprehensive given the atmosphere is a gamble and seemingly out of their control. Wish them luck and hope the owner succeeds. Ciao.
If I could more then 5 stars I would. To say they treat their customers well is an in statement. One of the owners is on the floor every night, going table to table to check in with how you re enjoying your food. He and our server were so knowledgeable in their menu, we let them order for us! The present waiting guests with a little champagne, they pay very close attention to detail and treat every single guest like family. We have waited so long to be able to eat here, cause they re always packed-make a reservation, but we were blown away last night when we finally got to enjoy a meal.
Great food and Anton is the bestest waiter ever. Ask for him!
This place is extremely unique. Authentic Italian food, wine and most of all service. The owner is very welcoming, and entertaining. I love this place...6 stars.
I stumbled upon this place the day after they first opened. It is a real treasure. I was here recently on the evening of the Doobie Brothers concert. Despite it being busier than I ve ever seen it, the food was (as always) perfect. I especially enjoyed the truffle sauce. If you haven t been don t deprive yourself any longer.
Had a wonderful evening at Red Barn and Roma Norde wine dinner on Tuesday November 21. Amazing food and wine. Hope they will collaborate in future
We had an amazing night for Red Barn grazie The food was so good the service was fantastic and the wine was delicious.Thank you all for a memorable experience
I attended the Red Barn winemakers dinner this past Tuesday at Roma Nord. It was incredible! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional and the wines were fantastic! It was wonderful to chat with the Winemaker of Red Barn to hear more about the style of wines theyre creating, with Italian varietals, and Denilo, the owner of Roma Nord about the qulity products he has specially ordered in from Italy to make his food so authentic and delicious! The whole evening was such a great value for such a low price! I cant wait to dine at Roma Nord again, and to visit Red Barn Winery in Oliver!
We attended the Red Barn Winery event November 21st. We were treated like family from the moment we walked in the door. The food was delicious and paired perfectly with the wine from Red Barn. We cant wait until we have an excuse to visit both the rest and Red Barn Winery again. Thank you all for the wonderful memories
I went for the second time to Roma Nord for a special Winemakers Dinner they were hosting exclusively with Red Barn Winery. Out of this world is an understatement. From the food to the customer service and wine pairings was an absolute treat. Out of all the Winemaker Dinners Ive attended, nothing beats this one. Ive never felt more at home than at Roma Nord.
My husband and I got to enjoy a wine pairing from #Red Barn with their excellent wines and the spectacular food by Roma Nord. What a treat!! I can t wait to go back for another date night. Cozy with a bright atmosphere. Great location too
Best restaurant in town! Always impeccable! The event with Red Barn Winery was fun and well organized- the food and wine pairings were incredible
Attended a Red Barn Winery event at Roma Nord last week. Food was excellent, service was friendly and efficient and the wines were fabulous!!! Thanks for a wonderful evening to all .and our table guests were a lot of laughs as well!
Best service I had ever experienced. Food was 10/10. Highly recommend.
As always, we had another fantastic meal at Roma Nord this evening. Danilo and his team take such excellent care of their customers and we always have a wonderful time in this restaurant. Food was excellent tonight, as was our experience. Thank you Roma Nord team for always making our evenings in your restaurant so lovely! Philip and Desiree
10/10 Service was fantastic , we had perfectly paired wines with our dishes for our anniversary. Cant wait to go back. Food : 5/5
This place has such amazing Italian food, coming from an Italian family on both sides they have captured the essence of this culture and the service is so personal, quick and friendly. I cannot wait to go back!
Giant ravioli stuffed with porcini mushrooms with truffle cream sauce. Exquisite! (Abruzzo cooking school). Food
Best Italian restaurant in Kelowna. Great wine selection.
Authentic and delicious! Best Italian in the Okanagan.
Wow! Best authentic Italian food weve ever had. Fresh, homemade, flavourful. Extensive and interesting wine list. Great service. A real gem
Food was Subpar... cold room ,lots of draft...over priced and no Canadian beer...
