20757 Lougheed Hwy., Maple Ridge, BC V2X 2R2, Canada
A family-run Italian restaurant with a full Vegan menu, vegetarian and gluten-friendly options plus kids menu. Vegan dishes use ingredients developed in-house, known as Candygrain. Dine-in, take-out, and delivery is offered. Open for lunch, happy hour and dinner. All appetizers, entrees, and desserts are prepared in-house and fresh to order. The restaurant is quaint, casual, clean and comfortable.
We were totally disappointed when we ate here. We waited almost an hour— if not for the free bread—we would have been so hungry and have left the place. It wasn’t even full (3 other tables), but we had to wait a long time; only one waitress who was doing everything from reservation, seating, serving, etc. She tried her best though. Flies were everywhere, food was not great as expected with all the “good” reviews. Too pricey for the order, steak was medium rare but it was too chewy. Mashed potatoes too salty. Waitress said they’re closing in a few weeks. Even so, they should have at least ended well as read on reviews.
Party of 2, we walked in, after a few seconds, the employee with bright dyed hair told us to sit anywhere, but every correctly sized table was covered in dirty dishes, so we sat at a large table. then were told to sit at a small one (understandable if on its own). We then sat at a small dirty table, that was sprayed while we sat there and not wiped down fully. We were then asked if we are vegan or not, we said vegetarian, and the employee flatly asked us again if we are vegan or not. We said no, vegetarian. We were given meat menus, then waited a while and heard this employee lightly argue and correct a customer on the phone, then did the same to the couple that walked in after us. Thankfully those customers corrected her arrogance to ensure they get the right food with their dietary restrictions. We then asked for the vegan menu and got a snappy “oh you want vegan now?” Then received a very dirty vegan menu. I work customer service, so normally I don’t really mind if someone is having an off day. But this was far past that. First time I’ve ever walked out of a restaurant. uncomfortable unwelcoming, unclean place.
So totally thrilled to be at my first vegan meetup here! We’ve been coming here for years and your vegan menu is unbelievable. Tons of options and super delicious. The service is fantastic and I love the super cozy decor. Thanks for an amazing night!
Service was impeccable. Very cute little restaurant with lots and lots of options including vegan options. I also love restaurants with a kids menu. That’s a plus. Only reason they didn’t get a full 5 for me was the spaghetti noodles were a little over done. I prefer al dente but the sauce and bread was really good.
Lovely atmosphere. Paliottis vegan menu is really extensive with lots of choices! I had the crispy rice balls (similar to arancini) and Cajun vegan chicken penne. So delicious, I look forward to going back and trying the fettuccini cashew Alfredo! I’m visiting town and they let my party stay and chat for a long time, they were very accommodating and great drinks menu.
OBSESSED with the vegan arancini with rose sauce (aka rice balls on their menu). It's a big portion and deliciously filling. I am intrigued by how chewy and crispy their batter is and the rose sauce is liquid gold. Thank you so much for offering a huge vegan menu, at reasonable prices, great portions, and, most importantly, real TASTY food. ❤️ Please keep in mind that the wait times for orders tend to be longer than usual, but it's definitely worth the wait! Though you don't have to wait too long just to eat - everyone gets a complimentary focaccia bread with balsamic olive oil upon arrival - such a thoughtful touch! Nicely renovated. Feels cozy and intimate. Recommend as a cute hangout or date night spot.
10/10 for vegans!! We ordered the vegan pizza rolls, the vegan chicken marinara and the vegan spaghettini carbonara, thinking we were going to get Vancouver sized portions... We were such fools! The food portions are huge and absolutely delicious. The amount of vegan options is staggering, there are more options here than in any other vegan restaurant in Vancouver! From the complimentary bread to the wait staff this place is definitely worth the drive if you are from out of town! Edit: the vegan chocolate caramel pecan cheesecake is breathtaking ❤️
tried this place tonight and It was an amazing experience start to finish. the customer service was incredible, and we shared some great conversation with our server. the pre meal bread was soft, christ p on the outside and had a nice garlicy flavour, the portions were enormous and filling, the carbonara was some of the best i've ever had with a perfect smooth texture with well blended flavours, and the vegan cheesecake was incredibly creamy and the coconut flavor was suble and not overwhelming at all like it often is in other places. the only complaint I have was that i'm not a fan of the gluten free crust texture, but the flavour was still quite good. the experience was amazing and I will be reccomending this place to anyone with ears 5/5 stars well earned!
I just ordered take out and had chicken parmigiana & fettuccine Alfredo . Super delicious food it s such a shame they are closing .
Great service, great food.
Food and service was awesome.
My girlfriend and I went in for dinner. It was busy but we were sat right away. Jackie was our server and she was amazing! I had the spaghettini carbonara and my girlfriend had the fettuccine Alfredo which were both phenomenal dishes! 1000/10 will be back and would recommend Paliottis for any occasion!
Amazing place to go eat with amazing staff and owners highly recommend
Drinks took 20 minuets, food took an hour, the entire time battling fruit flies. The food is incredibly oily, the fries are at least good. The fruit flies and flies are disgusting, I won t be back unless I m on the patio. This isn t acceptable for the prices.
My wife loved her food but me it was so so.
I was so excited to finally try this place out. What I love most is that they have a completely separate one hundred percent vegan menu... Every dish you can think of made without the cruelty of eggs dairy or animal flesh. Their focaccia bread is to die for and the spanikopita was phenomenal !!!! omg... Its a little smaller than I imagined and when its busy, expect to wait little bit longer for your food.But that wait will be one hundred percent worth it. I got a huge spanikopita platter w/potatoes,rice, & vegetables..and the BEST EVER cruelty-free tzatziki sauce EVER!!! Only $25. I have leftovers for 2 more dinners. I HIGHLY recommend the vegan menu here. You will LOVE it. Get a slice if vegan cheesecake roo..and the VERY BEST EVER Caesar salad EVER!! OMG. Such a shame they are closing down at the end of November Terry and Im absolutely heartbroken Vegetarian options: Better than (lousy) vegetarian!!!! VEGAN!!
I wanted to like this restaurant, but the fettuccine Alfredo was like soup. Another customer was dissatisfied with their order, and the employee got quite heated with them. There is a fruit fly issue as well, multiples buzzing around your table
The food here is sooo delicious, it s too bad they are closing in two weeks. This restaurant will be very much missed!
If youre looking for an authentic Italian dining experience that feels like home, this is the place to be! From the moment you step inside, youre welcomed by a warm, family-like atmosphere. The decor is modern with a cozy vibe that perfectly complements the delicious food. The highlight, however, is the owner and chef, Roberta. Her passion for Italian cuisine is evident and her attention to detail ensures that every bite is full of flavor and love and she really makes you feel special, like part of her family. The menu offers classic Italian dishes and delicious vegan options. The service is great, and you can feel the pride the staff takes in serving the food just as the chef intended. Its clear that this restaurant is not just a business its a labor of love. If you want to enjoy a meal that tastes like it was made in a family kitchen in Italy, this place is an absolute must-visit! mangia e sii felice!
Amazing restaurant great service and delicious food and huge portions strongly recommend anyone who s looking for Italian food in maple Ridge or the lower mainland definitely worth the drive.
I love this restaurant . We just celebrated my mom s birthday the food and the drinks were delicious. my favourite is cheese tortellini Rose sauce . Highly recommend!
Amazing atmosphere. Food is amazing. The Cajun chicken penne is to die for. Well worth it and extremely friendly servers
Everytime I go here the food is amazing and I m welcomed with open arms I truly feel at home in he atmosphere that this place has is unmatched!!
Really tasty food. Grease Tip: we got takeout but the pasta was pretty greasy and kind of leaked everywhere. Ask for a second paper bag.
This is one of my favorite places to have dinner. The staff are friendly. The food comes fast and is delicious. I have never had a bad experience here. Been many times.
Go see the owner for bulk order she hooked me up with great discount for my party highly recommended
Food was phenomenal, the kitchen really knows what they are doing. Server was overwhelmed therefore was inattentive to us. Our cocktails came out at different times, water did not get refilled, and the appetizer we ordered never came (though it wasn t on the bill either- just completely forgotten) Highly recommend the food, but for us, next time we will get takeout!
This golden gem of a restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The food portions were enormous (hello leftovers), everything was fresh, and served piping hot. Our service was nothing short of phenomenal attentive, friendly, and efficient. I cant believe I waited this long to try this place out. My kids gobbled everything up, even my picky eater. Its now a favorite, and well definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
I love this place for all their delicious vegan options. My favourite is their vegan jambalaya. My 4 & 6 year old say that this is their favourite restaurant because the oyster mushroom calamari is delicious and because you guys have games. Cant wait to go again for another family meal. Vegetarian options: Pages of vegan options Kid-friendliness: They offer board games
Amazing menu options! Took the whole group and all their dietary restrictions. Everyone was happy.
Delicious and unique. A maple ridge classic
Ordered take out from here. Very good, love the full vegan menu option done extremely well!
I don t have any photos because we ate it so fast but I will update this review next time I order which will be very soon. They have pizzas, tons of pastas, sandwiches, various appies, salads, breads and an extensive vegan menu. Can t say I ve ever ordered pasta out but after trying this at a friends house then looking at their menu online I had to try it again. Their portions are huge and very good value for the price. Their lasagna is quite frankly the best lasagna I ve ever had (sorry mom) and their tortellini al panna with chicken, bacon, Alfredo sauce and baked cheese on top (extra charge for baked cheese but you literally get your moneys worth.) was literally two meals for me Side order of garlic bread is 6 bucks and you get 4 massive slices of the most buttery, garlicky, crispiest garlic bread I ve ever had. I wouldn t stop talking about this place after we ordered and kept trying to steal bites of my girlfriend s lasagna. Highly recommend this place for great pasta. Vegetarian options: They have an extensive vegan menu.
Everything was great except for the fact that our pasta were waaay over salted.
Amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning. Thank you! :)
Amazing food and staff delicious vegan options !!
Came for the vegan meet-up! A well organized event and the food was delicious! Met some great people, while we enjoyed the 7 course vegan tasting menu! Dietary restrictions: Delicious vegan and GF options!
Enjoyed an incredible 7-course vegan tasting menu! Everything was delicious! Service is quick and friendly. Love the big patio. Cant wait to come back!
A few weeks back we called in to see if they were opened on a Monday. Google showed them being open on Monday s, despite their website saying they were closed. The staff member who answered the phone politely let us know they were in fact closed to the public. A few minutes after the call ended we got a call back and they offered to put a special pick up order through for us if we wanted- an awesome showcase of going above and beyond in the name of customer service. Weve been here a few times and will keep going back for sure. I appreciate that theyve got a ton of tasty vegan options. The vegan mushroom calamari is a must try.
Great food. The location is a bit noisy however it is overlooked by friendly staff, great tasting food and periodic entertainment.
Our favourite family owned restaurant! My go to is the spaghettini pesto so so good. Loving the family combos as well!
We both had pasta, it was amazing, really flavorful and there was lots of it as well. Definitely going back to try the pizza.
All the food was delish! Big portions
Food was really good, Staff did an awesome job despite the temporary HVAC challenges. Highly recommend this place as the menu something to please everybody. Go there, have a great meal with friends drink lots spend all your money tip well and smile. You won t be disappointed.
I come for the amazing vegan menu whenever I m in Maple Ridge! My faves: the Caesar salad (garlicky!), the calamari, any pasta, & a few unique pizzas. You won t be disappointed: excellent fare, done well.
Only tried the pizzas here and they were excellent!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Palliottis, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was inviting, and the aroma of delicious Italian food filled the air. The food was absolutely incredible the best Italian cuisine Ive ever had! The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were rich and authentic. We were also treated to an abundance of fresh bread, which was a delightful addition to our meal. What truly set the experience apart was the owner, Roberta. She was incredibly kind and welcoming. To our surprise and delight, she joined us for dinner, making us feel like part of the family. Her passion for her restaurant and dedication to her customers shone through in every interaction. Overall, Palliottis offers exceptional service, mouthwatering Italian dishes, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience. Thank you, Roberta, for making our visit so special we cant wait to return!
Ive been ordering from Paliottis Westside once a month lately, thanks to their Monday night vegan menu with free delivery. Everything weve ordered has been delicious and generous portion sizes. I havent had tiramisu for years, and they recently perfected a vegan option thats such a treat to enjoy. Paliottis Westside also went out of their way to help make an order right. I love supporting a local spot that cares about the food they make and their customers. Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options are available.
Beautiful food. The spaghettini was the best Ive ever had. Our server Lois ( Lou ) was very personable and cheerful. Truly a pleasure. I will be coming back and recommending this place to anyone looking for excellent food and to support this locally owned business. Parking: Location is excellent right there on the Lougheed. Easy to find and easy to get in and out of. Kid-friendliness: Very warm and cheerful atmosphere with a patio option. I think I saw that there are games and other things for kids to do.
The Vegan food is amazing here. So much variety you will find something here you absolutely love. I have been several times and everytime it was fantastic. The staff is cheerful and provided amazing service all night.
Thank you so much for offering such delicious vegan food to the community, loved it:)
Wonderful Vegan meet up where we had a seven course tasting menu! The food was fantastic and so tasty. Was please to meet and talk to fellow vegans. What a great place and great people! When is the next one!
PALIOTTI S WEST SIDE is the place to go if you are vegan! With a full 3 page menu you cannot go wrong! The vegan crispy rice balls will make you salivate before you even pick up your fork!! My fave so far! Thank you Dino, Roberta and all your staff. You ROCK!! And thank you DEE for orchestrating our MEET UP! It was fantastic! Can t wait until the next one. I ll be there.
Food was amazing!! The vegan menu is the best in maple ridge!
Great food! Amazing vegan options
A wonderful place to experience vegan cuisine or just enjoy great food. Weve never regretted driving out from Richmond for this.
We had the pleasure of being served a special 7 course vegan meal with our vegan group. We have also ordered there before on our own. They have an extensive vegan menu. Everything we have ever order has been 5 stars delicious? We will keep coming back!
Fabulous time with new friends! Attended a special night to try a 7-course sampling menu featuring the restaurants innovative vegan dishes. Delish!
Amazing and flavourful vegan food! My stomach has never been happier.
I love this place, and frequent here often. This time was the vegan meet-up, which was a 7 course tasting menu. Everything we tried was delicious. It went very smoothly, I highly recommend this restaurant
The vegan carbonara & vegan calamari are 10/10!
The best vegan food ever from salad to mains to desserts
Delicious vegan menu (3 pages). Great service. I ll be back.
Absolutely the best clams ever and their curry chicken pene is unbelievable its a must visit restaurant for exceptional food and service.
This place is fantastic Italian/Mediterranean food. The portions are huge and it is so tasty. They also have a huge amount of AMAZING veggie and vegan options. Get the calzone! Vegetarian options: Huge list of vegetarian options as well as a separate vegan menu
Always amazing food and staff.
Business hours not updated. Closed at 9pm instead of 10pm as lisfed
Business hours not updated, drove half an hour and the place was closed
Parking? No problem. Food? Amazing also, Pet friendly deck. My little dog also came along for dinner. The staff was so friendly and great with my dog. Decor needs work but was okay. The restaurant was clean. Wheelchair accessibility: You can enter onto the patio and enter the restaurant from there.
Don t take orders, make people wait 20 minutes then cancel on them.!!!!!!
I love this restaurant. I ve eaten here numerous times and have always been very pleased with my meal. The food is fresh, hot and delicious. The service is always great. The vegan menu is extensive and such a treat to have so many choices. Good prices too. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Excellent tasty vegan menu and generous portions! Wellington was amazing!
Well oiled crew. Going back generations. AUTHENTIC dishes. hidden gem.
The new crepes on weekends was a great idea! I had the fungi crepes and I can t stop thinking about them. Service was sweet and attentive. I m already a regular dinner customer but I think I m gonna have to start making some double trips on the weekend.
Had a great meal with some new friends. The lasagna was incredible and the vegan cheesecake was awesome as well. We did have the cheesecake first though;-)
This restaurant is a fantastic place for family gatherings. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a cozy evening with his friends and family.
EDIT: BASED on restaurant reply. We were not told it was super busy beforehand so much so that it would affect our service outside and they did tell us the patio was open before and that we could sit outside. We realize it was chilly but the amount of time you guys took made us freeze more then we should have. They did not say we would be served after everyone as thats not usually how it should be done. We didnt expect to be put lower priority on the service , I feel as though we should have been served before the other tables inside that came after us. The waitress did NOT allow me to substitute for a surcharge at all either, they just said they cannot make any changes. Overall, I dont appreciate this business blaming its customers. Yes we did choose to sit outside but not thinking we would be treated and served differently and also we were told a lot of things werent possible and given to us very late. So please do not say it was your customers misunderstanding when your servers did not communicate or know what was going on the entire night and even forgot we were outside. Thats not very professional. This was my second time at Paliottis I was from out of town and excited to try their food and show my partner. I dont remember the food being too great but thought Id give it a shot. I loved their lavender hot chocolate the last time.. Im not one to complain usually, but I was very disapointed. We sat outside since it was busy and smaller location and thought it might not be too cold. The waitress forgot to come get out order for about 20 minutes because it was busy inside. I got the special 3 course and I wish I had been able to swap the one sauce for the pasta for a vegan sauce since they only had one or two vegan items on the specials menu - I didnt want to get sick from too much dairy anywho. The food took awhile - and we also asked for balsamic for the bread and never got it and when we asked again we were told they didnt have any anymore. When my pasta came out it was served on a big plate which was odd and it looked like something you just throw together at home with cheap rose sauce. It didnt taste good. And I got very sick later that night. I could have made a better dish at home. The waitress also took another 10-15 minutes to bring us more water and we honestly thought theyd forget again. We never ended up ordering special drinks we wanted because we didnt want to wait any more. My partner did enjoy his vegan wrap. The fries were tasty. But I was very disapointed with the pasta. And also we werent too happy with the service and also the didnt have heaters on the patio so we did freeze after them taking so long. I had wanted to try their vegan cheesecake but was no longer in the mood. The vegan brownie was good but they didnt have vegan ice cream which was odd. Overall, just was super unhappy after wanting to try their food for a while. Especially since my partner and I dont have much money to spend going out and its sad to be not happy with our choice. I understand why my friend said theyre a hit or miss depending on how busy they are. Probably wont be back as the food and service as not great. I hardly ever write reviews too.
This was the worst pizza we have ever tasted, you really need to find a chef that can make pizzas if you drive on that, disgusting. Never to return
Both the vegan and non-vegan options we ordered were delicious! The portions are generous - we shared two appetizers between three people, ordered an entree each, and we all had enough food to take home leftovers even though I ordered the happy hour version thats a smaller portion.
The food is amazing and so worth the wait! Its all made fresh, so you can really taste the quality of what youre eating. My sons favorite is the calzones my husband and I love the Chicken Paliiottis. Plus they have super fun cocktails and mocktails.
Amazing food and service and so many vegan and non vegan options for such a small little place. As well as the large drink menu. It was my 19th birthday and I ordered a vegan ceasar. They ran out of tomato juice so they sent someone to go get some. They ended up going to 3 stores just to try to find it. They really go above and beyond for their customers I will definately be coming back.
Amazing
We go here for our birthdays, super good fresh food, delicious vegan menu, the homemade focaccia so good, the restaurant is nice, small and intimate. I love to support local
Ordered the pizza rolls off Skip and they were fantastic! The tzatziki sauce was soooo good and garlicky; better than any Greek restaurant I have tried. The tiramisu was delicious as well.
Great little restaurant! Customer service was on point and the food was amazing. Our picky little eaters ate so much we couldn t believe it. We will be back
Good bread, but bad overpriced dishes and bad service.
Service was bad, took almost an hour to get the food which was horrible.
Absolutely amazing place!! Thanks so much for making delicious vegan food!! Dietary restrictions: I have many allergies. That made sure everything was checked over and read all ingredients of anything not made in house. Definitely recommend!!
Ashamed I didnt leave a larger tip! I was in a bit of a food coma and did my math poorly. The food and service was fantastic last week when I went for a solo dining experience. The lovely staff provided me great suggestions from their menu and I thoroughly enjoyed my dishes and the ginger citrus sangria!
Great pizza! Good people! Great local restaurant to support.
I am always so pleased with the experience I have ordering from Paliottis Westside. Roberta is such a kind, accommodating human being who cares about her customers. I always feel welcomed and cared for by her and the staff. Unfortunately I dont often get to patronize them in person as I reside in Vancouver, but I always take them up on their Free Delivery to Vancouver days and its never a disappointment. Yes, I may need to reheat the food slightly, but who cares? Its coming from so far, its created with love, the food is flavorful, filling, and they have so many amazing vegan options. I love their Wam Bam Pizza and their vegan cheesecake is TO DIE FOR. Its just the best to ever exist as far as Im concerned. Thank you Paliottis for the food and service, I will always be a fan and customer.
I went here for my birthday and loved everything I ordered. They have a very large, detailed vegan menu. Everything I have tried has been amazing. They also arranged free delivery from their vegan menu this past Monday which I participated in, and will be doing so again! Seriously a wonderful restaurant with great staff and management. Roberta is such a sweet person! Thanks so much - Im a forever customer! Dietary restrictions: A whole vegan menu is offered, that is constantly changing with new options.
We took advantage of one of their delivery nights and it was absolutely fantastic. We had their beyond lasagna and Ive missed that so much since becoming vegan. It was also fantastic that this was offered as Ive been wanting to go there for years but are current life structure makes that basically impossible. We also tried some of their sauces and appies and they are so flavorful. The staff has also been so sweet and wonderful. Vegetarian options: We are vegan and I cant wait to try their pizza I have missed spinach and artichoke dip so much and t did not disappoint. Dietary restrictions: I have a nut allergy so its nice to have coconut based items as well and they were very informative and accommodating when I mentioned that.
Paliottis is amazing! My family and I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is delicious, the vegan menu is amazing, and staff are beyond nice. It s always a pleasure to bring friends and family here. I am beyond happy that they started doing deliveries to Burnaby a couple of times! I recommend this place strongly
Dietary restrictions: Great vegan options Food
I am the last person to give a any business a hard time about a poor experience, but today I have to break that. I went alone and waited over an hour for my food (chicken parmesan) with zero communication from the staff, and when they finally approached me it wasn t even my server. They tell me it s busy, and apparently lost my bill . Never brought it up at any point prior. Said the wait is *another* 15 minutes. What a waste time. Shame on you, Paliottis. No offer to comp my meal, no apology, just wanted to hurry me out of the establishment. I didn t complain in person, but maybe I should have. Serves me right for choosing local rather than a chain restaurant.
For the past three years, Ive been a loyal patron of this restaurant, and I must say, its my absolute favourite place to eat. The food is nothing short of spectacular, with every dish prepared to perfection. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making me feel right at home every time I walk in. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, going out of their way to ensure that every customer is well taken care of. Ive brought friends and family to this restaurant on numerous occasions, and theyve all been blown away by the quality of the food and the service. Even the hardest of critics have had nothing but nice things to say. Yes, there is a longer wait time than what you might find at other restaurants, but thats only because everything is made fresh to order. And believe me, the wait is well worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.
I came in today and just asked the chef if he would make me whatever he thought would be a fantastic pasta dish. He prepared me a seafood curry pasta that was out of this world!!. The portion size was so big that I will definitely have enough left over for tomorrows lunch. Definitely one of my favourite meals yet!!
The large selection of vegan appetizers and the vegan caramel chocolate pecan cheesecake I had delivered to serve to my book club were all delicious. The delivery arrived right on time. The pizza rolls, bruschetta and spanakopita were nicely warm, as was the spinach and artichoke dip, while the amazing cheesecake was cold. I m so impressed!
I just feel that when you have a large group or its busy inside during peek hours , they should put delivery on hold. They were overwhelmed with take-out/delivery that it took away from our group of 12 and other tables. It was a birthday. Drinks and food took a very long time. The food was great as always
Ordered on line take out.Pizza and chicken fettuccine Alfredo.Was Great! Highly recommended.Cheers!
I ve always heard about this place from the Vancouver Vegans Facebook group but never got to try. We came for dine in tonight (vegan menu) and I get what all the hype is about!! The portion sizes are huge (in a good way) and we were so happy to be able to bring the leftovers home. for me, the best part was the chicken parm because it literally tasted like this Asian dish I had growing up (pork w/ cheese and tomato sauce on rice) and I thought I d never be able to have that again after going vegan!! Literally made me emotional lol. Our server was incredible too, thank you!
Kid-friendliness: Very accepting of our children and gave a good experience Food
not picking up the phone during snowy weather today. not a reliable restaurant.
Excellent service, delicious food. Always a must stop for dinner!
AMAZING! As a vegan with family members that are not, this was the perfect place to bring them. I haven t been able to eat vegan Italian food for 3 years and my dreams were fulfilled today. My food was equally amazing as the non vegan food my family members got. Not to mention the amazing staff, and our amazing waitress Lou! Will definitely be coming back.
Amazing food and awesome staff! Everything is made from scratch and they cater to different allergies. Highly recommend, Ive been twice and it has been HEAVENLY Vegetarian options: The vegan cheesecake was so amazing and still had that beautiful creaminess
Absolutely love this place. Great staff and extensive vegan menu.
Went for dinner with some friends, the customer service was amazing, the food was top notch and huge portions. Can t wait go to back! Vegetarian options: They have a fabulous and huge vegetarian/vegan menu and the food was amazing. Too many delicious choices to choose from, will definitely be back!
Very nice place and good food with service.
This is an awesome place to find vegan food in Maple Ridge! I have a recently-discovered dairy allergy and often crave cheesy and creamy food. In general it is challenging to find dairy-free food in restaurants and it often tastes artificial BUT not at Paliottis! This visit I had a delicious creamy cheesy pasta and a vegan Oreo cheesecake. Youd never know they were vegan if you werent told. Ordering take out online was easy and the pasta was steaming hot. Dietary restrictions: Theres a huge menu for those with gluten- or dairy-restrictions.
Excellent Service and impeccable food!!!
Had a wonderful dinner tonight. I havent been here in a couple of years and the restaurant has done a renovation and looks great. Food and service was great.
It was a great experience amazing customer service fresh pasta and amazing home cooked bread 100% recommendation
Excellent Service! Extremely fresh food with bold authentic flavours. Portions were HUGE, and vegetarian options were amazing! We ll definitely be coming back.
Vegetarian options: great vegan menu!!! Kid-friendliness: Awesome vegetarian choices!!!
What a shame!! Their food and services are good, but the environment is not safe, there are no windows in this place, what they have were two big pieces of the garages door instead, maybe in the summer they can be opened to have outdoor diner feel, but in the cold day in there customer have to breathe kitchen cooking smoke, its bad for both workers and customers lung health.
One of my go to places! Absolutely love them and their food is soo tasty. I have quite a few dietary restrictions and they accommodate me for everything. Highly recommend! Very cute place to sit and eat too, comfy and welcoming
Delicious! Amazingly large menu. Everything we had was fantastic. Soooo good and yummy. 10 out of 10 Vegetarian options: All vegan menu was sooooo delicious
We drove out from Steveston to celebrate my son s work promotion. Absolutely everything, from making the reservation, to the service and food was outstanding! Paliottis Westside is a scaled down version of their main restaurant with a slightly smaller menu, but maintains the same high quality standard and prices are very reasonable. We will gladly make the trip again.
nice small restaurant, very yummy
HUGE vegan menu. The pierogis, spinach dip and potato skins are all super good. Id recommend extra sauce on their pizzas. Pasta is always overcooked so if you like al Dante, you wont get it here... But their vegan pasta sauce options are all really tasty. They work hard and are always grateful for your business.
Decided to stop and have dinner. The fresh bread with olive oil was a delight. We had salads, pasta (lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs) and drinks. The pasta was wonderful and the ceasar salads were tasteful, fresh looking and had the perfect amount of garlic. The service was fantastic. She was pleasant, friendly and was a delight to interact with. Although the space is small, it wasnt too crowded. The garage bay doors was a nice touch. Even though the road traffic can be loud, its easily ignored. We found prices to be reasonable for the quality of food and experience. Thank you. Well be back!
Hands down the best vegan food in Ridge! So many amazing options and service is always amazing.
Great vegan menu with a regular menu as well. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Vegetarian options: Great, large vegan menu! A lot of variety :)
This place is such a gem! Just had our date night here and ordered vegan pasta & Pizza..so good! Cocktails were amazing too. Stop driving by this place and step in - warm, welcoming, cosy and food is to die for. We will be back! Vegetarian options: So many vegan options!
Wanted to try this place for a long long time & wanted to love it even more. Took almost 45 min after pickup time before we got our order, so total 1.5 hrs from order time until we had our dinner. Both pastas look like they were half eaten & almost zero baked cheese & barely warm, especially for the price. We expected so much better. They really need to have better time management with their staff in this restaurant. Asking people to wait close to 2 hrs for 2 meals is really unacceptable, then to give food to customer like this is just disrespectful. For the price, service & food we got, we will not be returning to this location.
One of the all-time best vegan restaurants!
Amazing food! The best part is the vegan options that are available!! this place is a must-visit if you re in the area
The quantities are huge for the price. Give it a try
Delicious food and great service. Great vegan options.
Vegetarian options: Large Vegan menu - also has a regular menu but the Vegan menu is huge - the biggest I ve seen! The biggest vegetarian menu east of the Naam! They also do take out and eat in set menus that are great for about $20 per person including salad, pasta, and pizza (Vegan or Vegetarian!). Parking: Lots of parking out front Kid-friendliness: Great for kids - lots of options Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible
This place was great! A hidden gem.. The menu was overwhelming with choices- something for everyone! (So happy to have impressive vegan options too). We will be back.
The best restaurant in Maple Ridge, they have an entire huge vegan menu and the portions are HUGE! I m always so full after eating here and it s all so delicious!! So many amazing drinks too!
Food was amazing, staff as well, music was too loud to hear one another at regular volume though nearly needed to yell.
Delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere. They have an entire vegan menu in addition to the regular menu. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Kid-friendliness: Kid menu, fun non-alcoholic drinks
First time order was takeout for a New York steak with spaghettini with meat sauce. Amazing portions, and perfectly cooked. Spaghetti was amazing, not too salty and steak was perfectly medium rare. Will definitely order again, very satisfied!
Best Vegan food in Maple Ridge. Everytime I have gotten food from you guys it has been amazing. Service is a little slow, but I am in no rush!
Excellent friendly service at Paliottis Westside! Huge portions. Small restaurant. Sangria was delicious and we loved the calamari. The food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the pasta we ordered (spaghettini carbonara and chicken fettuccine alfredo) wasn t our favourite but I would return to try a different dish :)
Incredible vegan options What a gem!!!!
Authentic Italian, great service. Careful that the portions are massive, so order judiciously. Doesnt have the ambience, rustic look, by the road side. Dog friendly Dietary restrictions: Good vegan options Parking: Limited place but free. Enough for customers
Massive portions, great price and delicious authentic Italian food.
Amazing food and service, they have a regular menu and a vegan menu, both have great options
We ordered the desserts and it wasnt good. Tiramisu tasted like Costco bought. Not the best. Dont recommend this place for dessert
Incredible food. Huge quantities. Lovely service!
Love this place! Its so cute and the food is incredible. Its a small family restaurant that couldnt be any cuter. Food might take a while but its worth the wait. It all made fresh. Mmmmm mmm!
We were so surprised how good the vegan options were and how big of a selection the vegan menu offers. Food was killer, service was amazing, and we loved the vibe. Will be coming back for sure! They gave free houseade focaccia and oil/vinegar to start, tasted awesome! EDIT: weve just eaten here a second time and it delivered just as highly as our first time. We had a different server, Jen, who was just as fantastic as our first server the first time! This will be a hidden gem of ours for as long as its in business!
Very very good vegatarian cuisine. You can even taste the love in the dishes. I had the mushroom ravioli and my partner had the penne pagliacci. Highly recommend!!! We were stealing food from each others plates.
Love this place and wanted to try their social media advertised pickle pizza! Was ready early and sooooo good! Can t find anything like this anywhere else.
Why do you ask how people want their steak cooked? I asked for medium well, cooked through and got medium rare.
Excellent Service & Food - The Female Server with the Purple Hair was amazing!! She recommended the Calzone - It was huge and super yummy. Also sampled the Vegan Calamari and it was awesome.
Fantastic personal service. Some of the best Italian food I ve had in years. It s like having dinner with a family. All in house homemade Every dish I ve had has blown me away with flavour. Just went again and wanted to get a smaller meal so I orders the appetizer calzone. OMG First it s huge. Send the Italian sausage was amazing. The sauce on the top I wanted to get every drop so I used my finger. I know no class. It s so rich and filled with garlic. Love this place. Vegetarian options: Huge vegan menu
Best selection of vegan and reg food. My wife can stuff herself on the vegan and I can have a really good meal. The service is absolutely wonderful as well
Quirky rustic style. Definitely definitely not Boston Pizza. Endearing. First time and we ll go back.
Food is always good.
My wife and I have eaten at this location 3 times in the last 2 months. 1st time was excellent, 2nd time was uh oh. Calamari was so chewy it could not be eaten, no utensils given. My wife had Penne con pesci and was excellent. I had the Fettuccine Paliotti, it was good but was loaded with tomatoes which I cant stand and are not ingredients of that menu item. My son in law was given a plate he didnt even order. At one point the smoke was so bad inside, we were told that the vents were not working properly, it smelled like they had a severe grill fire happening in the kitchen. 3rd time was Mothers day, we had reservations, seated beside the garage door. Once again toxic fumes filling up the air and they need to open up the garage door, it was so cold being seated there. We asked them to close the door and they did. Food was excellent for all of us, took at least an hour to get it. Dont dine in, pick up your food. 4th time, 11 months later, only 4 people already seated inside. it took 20 minutes to place our order. 15 minutes later, once again, the garage door had to be opened all the way up to relieve the smoke from the kitchen. It took a respectful 28 mins for our food, it was extremely hot and delicious. The waitress only came by once but she did apologize stating it was due to all the skip orders being taken. 5th time....I have to go with my wife, somebody punch me in the head please, Im so sick of eating here, ya ya the food is good but the service is balls!
With a vegan, vegetarian, red meat eater and fish eater in our household we have a hard time finding somewhere we are ALL excited about!! THIS IS IT!!! The food is AMAZING!!! Cooked perfectly every time, always generous portions and the Vegan in our family was astounded at some of the comfort food dishes and vegan milk shakes & desserts!!! YOU MUST LOVE GARLIC TO EAT HERE haha - very garlicky food but we love it!! Have been happy every time and often choose it for take out!

I Ordered a steak Neptune medium rear, got a we ll done minute steak, potatoes were dry and tasted like it was instant potatoes. Asked for some butter to go with the potatoes and received a dish full of microwave separated melted butter. It was supposed to have seafood I got one shrimp. Spoke to the waitress about it, her response was totally disinterested and dismissive. My wife had pasta dish with seafood and order extra seafood at a cost of $8 and she only received 5 shrimp. When she asked for fresh parmesan cheese she received powder preserved cheese in a small plastic container. Both the food and service was not even worthy of one star. We ll never eat there again. It was a $120 disappointment.
This place has the best pizza I ve ever had! They make their own dough fresh from scratch and the sauce is delicious as well. Vegetarian options: They have an excellent vegan menu!
My first time here and they have a entire vegan menu! So many choices! I ended up getting the spaghettini carbonara and it was good! The vegan cesar salad was great too! Cant wait to come back!
Had their Tuxedo cake and it was amazing.
The pizza was tasty. Our server was way off on how big it would be. The bathroom was not appreciated by those who used it. Vegetarian options: The vegans in our party were very happy with their food.
I was there recently with friends. I ordered lasagna, and tried some ravioli and pizza. The ravioli and pizza was very good. The lasagna was next level. I don t think I ve ever had lasagna this good at a restaurant.
Food is always amazing! The owners are incredible friendly people Staff is great Overall 100% FIVE STARS across the board!
We had such a great experience dining here! Giving each category 5 stars: service, food, atmosphere, portions & price. It s exactly what we needed and more! We didn t think twice getting dessert even when we re full - and we never get dessert. We re coming back and bringing our friends and family :) Especially love the vegan food!!
My first experience has ensured it won t be my last. The servers were so sweet and accommodating. The location was cute and funky and interesting. I love the picture frames. The non-alcoholic drinks + coffee were sooooo delicious. And the food. I could cry. Finding a place that has vegan and omni options made dining out with the family attainable, but more importantly, so freaking enjoyable. I literally love this place and can t wait to be back!
The vegan restaurant of Maple Ridge. You can ask for gluten free pasta as well. Vegetarian options: A full vegan menu. Food : 5/5 |
10000/10 they slayed so hard !!!! good food, nice place and this one employee with brown and pink hair was literally one of the cutest and sweetest people on earth (recommending pickles on pizza is still weird though). def recommend going here

I eat at Paliottis Westside very often, and have never been disappointed! The huge vegan menu is such a treat. I have not been able to get through every item yet, but I intend to because everything is amazing! The staff is always friendly and sweet, and the owners show a massive love for what they do.

Biggest Vegan menu around! Everything is delicious!
For my first time the service and food was incredible! Definitely coming back! Its home cook food, so we may be waiting but totally worth it! Im gonna bring my vegan friends and I can still enjoy seafood. We all love it.
I dined in for my first time and received lovely service as well as amazing food! I dine here often sometimes the home cooked food can take a bit of time but it is 1000% worth it! I bring my vegan friends here while I can still enjoy a seafood pasta!!
Such a cute little place. The woman bartending made an amazing white chocolate raspberry drink for me when I didn t know what to get. Modernized friendly staff, aesthetically pleasing and great food/prices.
We ve been here several times and always had a lovely experience. There is an extensive vegan menu and everything we ve had has been amazing! The cheesecakes are to die for.

Large delicious portions! Excellent music playlist, too, playing old school classics.
The absolute best Italian food in town!!! Especially the vegan options. All staff are super friendly and helpful, always willing to make accommodation to dishes. The vegan cheesecake is my favorite with so many seasonal varieties from pumpkin to candy cane. This place is a hidden gem of Maple Ridge 100% recommended
Super great server and a lovely ambience.

While the service was great, our three meals were overly salty (to the point of ruination) and flavor was lacking to even try to make up for it. We threw out 2/3 of our $80 meal. We would love to support local businesses, but we wont be returning.
Stopped in for a family dinner - warm service with great food! Love that they have an extensive vegan menu as well, the carbonara was excellent! Don t forget to try the cheesecake.

We had great meals and the food was delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful with meal choices. We will definitely come here again! Dietary restrictions: Vegan options are amazing and the meals were really tasty
Not sure if we just happened to be there on an off evening, but the food was not great, the music was really loud for the space, the tables were left unattended/ uncleaned for a long time, with the empty dishes and everything from the previous guests just lying there on the table for a while... and it wasnt because the place was way too busy for the server to keep up. Also, the restroom apparently is located outside the restaurant, somewhere at the back. Maybe that evening was just an accident, but the whole experience didnt impress us so we wont be going back there.
Great food,huge portions, fair prices and a drink menu that can only be described as vacation juice
The best food & great portion sizes!! Big drink selection & lots of vegan options too!
An amazing restaurant ! The service is always amazing and dietary requirements are considered. I m a 10 year vegan with a sensitivity to gluten and the servers are able to provide ingredient information without losing any of the flavour in the final dish. Menu items are made fresh and it is very clear a lot of love goes into every plate. A MUST try if you re in the area !! Vegetarian options: The vegan options are out of this world ! There is even a separate menu for veggie people and it s so hard to chose just one item !!
The food was very good and so was the atmosphere. I will definitely be back.
Fantastic menus. Great for both omnis and vegans. Something for everyone. Vegetarian options: Full vegan menu. Dietary restrictions: Fully vegan second menu. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu

It s a cozy atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and kind. Thanks for the exceptional service and food!! Absolutely amazing!!! Vegetarian options: A great variety of vegetarian/ vegan options, delicious food full of flavour Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for all ages
Amazingly delicious food. The service was exceptional and the staff were very nice and friendly.
Only picked up take out from there but the server always seems frazzled and confused. Not sure I would dine in. While I was waiting for an order, there was a pasta dish that day for 5 minutes while they waited for another order or pasta. One was most likely room temp when it was served.
Best Pasta around! Great and friendly staff! Will be eating here lots! Small but great for familys!
