Osteria Povera in Port Moody

Decent Italian food nothing really wowed me tbh. But the food was good nothing I didn t like either. Service is 5/5

Second time and possibly becoming regulars. Our waitress was great but we received the final bill without asking for it, or being asked if we wanted dessert. Food

The gnocchi and tiramisu were so good! Great cocktails too

We had a lovely double-birthday dinner. Very warm and inviting, nice intimate space. Service was lovely, food was very good. Salmon was especially nice. Will definitely return.

Been here many times, unfortunately my two friends that order steak it was dry and overcooked. Very disappointed:( Parking: In front

I booked in a reservation at 8:15, arrived on time and was told to wait outside that the table would be ready in 5 minutes. They proceeded to seat two other parties and after 25 minutes sent a text saying table would now be ready at 8:40. Seemed like a nice place but needs a better host

Excellent experience, consistent outstanding service and food quality.

Lovely evening

Love it! this is a real hidden gem. delicious food, thoughtful menu, very cozy place. I will definitely come back for my birthday celebration!

Nice room and very pleasant staff. Food was good. Not sure I would bring kid again but for a small group of friends etc would be great little spot to go again.

All was good. The only problem was the iPad menu.....it wasnt working and they dont have hardcopy lunch menus. Thru should have those as back up!!

What a wonderful little restaurant! The service was excellent, and friendly. The food, from the starters to dessert, was exquisite. Thank you Chef!

Natalia was a fantastic server and took care of us all evening. Beautiful ambience. Quiet. Intimate. Homemade pasta was fabulous. Highly recommend

I absolutely loved my experience here. Romantic, intimate little spot with great atmosphere. Our entrees were fantastic, I had the tagliatelle ragu and was blown away by the flavours. Will definitely come again!

Delicious food, super lovely ambience, great service, affordable wine. I would highly recommend this place! Food

Great food, great ambience! Nice music!!! One tall waiter was super friendly and accommodating. Short small waiter wearing very tight plaid pants and black dress shirt on evening of Saturday, Nov 30th forgot our appetizer order twice ( never did get it), told us our complimentary sourdough that the tall waiter brought us was our focaccia appetizer which was enough to barely feed 1 person and was NOT focaccia! Tall waiter had brought it over and said it was a complimentary sour dough! Lol. Had quite the snarky attitude from short guy and forgot what side of the table he was actually on. Customer vs. worker. He really thought he was too good for his job and we tipped slightly less than usual because we dreaded him coming to the table. We felt a yote bad for him that he looked so annoyed and unhappy with his existence. Took forever to give us our bill and then to come and let us pay even though we had our coats on and kept looking at him . He noticed and took his time anyway. Overall, had a good time regardless but that kind of attitude has no business being involved in people s Saturday night out for a group of friends trying to enjoy their evening together. Kid-friendliness: No options here for waiter friendliness!

It was our first night out where our daughter was old enough to babysit our youngest. We chose osteria, as it was close, quiet and cozy. Our reservation was for 6:30 for 2 ppl. We indulged in a bottle of wine, appetizer, main meal and dessert. When we ordered our dessert, our server informed us that there was a table of 2 waiting for our table. This was at 7:43. Not even 1.25 hours into our reservation, but server wars kindly requesting we hurry up our dessert and rest of our bottle of wine. I was enjoying the food and company until we were asked to hurry up- put a damper on our evening.

Absolutely superlative- the food and the service. One of those small places that are a real gem. I had to chuckle at the one review that said the food tasted like it had been bought at Costco if that were true, there d be line-ups for it at every Costco!

Good food and service was great! HOWEVER, we were kicked out due to the time limit imposed. We would love to return but due to limitation with time makes us think twice. Coffee can be better. Grazie. Parking: More options would be great. We just got lucky.

Thoroughly Enjoyable.

I wanted to have a typical Italian dish, not fancy or anything just fresh and authentic food. I ordered the penne pesto and the chicken breast. The chicken was good but the pasta reminded me of fast food Italian chains. I am pretty sure they didn t serve me homemade pasta nor fresh pesto. I left the restaurant so disappointed. What a shame since I was planning to eat at this restaurant for quite some time. At least, the server was very friendly and polite.

Awesome pasta. Very delicious . Great service and love the decor.

Family and I tried Osteria Povera for the first time yesterday for lunch. Everything about this restaurant is well thought out. Starting with the most important, the food. We shared the panzanella with burratta as well as some polpette on the side for our appy. The meatballs were so tender yet held their form - the picture is of me savouring the sauce. Then we had the Gnocchi e filetto alla parmigiana; the gnocchi were so light and fluffy and good my pescatarian wife even had some. We also had the orecchiette but in a white cream sauce because the house made special rose wasn t ready yet. Regardless it was very good and I will go back to try it again in the proper sauce. All the sauces were so yummy, even though we were getting full, we had to order some focaccia to sop up the goodness. We finished with the tiramisu and didnt leave a scrap behind. Cocktails were great, the paper plane was refreshing and the negroni was smooth even with no ice (house preference). The Chianti was palate and pocket friendly. The service was attentive and friendly. We might have found a cheat code though. I don t know if it was the day or the hour but we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The decor and atmosphere were on point. From the exterior to the interior it is a cozy spot and takes you to a different time. The mid-century modern design is beautiful from the wood panel walls through to the plate and glassware. Really nice finishing touches. I usually take more pictures of the food but I was so excited to dig in we didn t get any. Needless to say we ll be back. Grazie.

I found this gem by chance while browsing my maps, and I couldn t be happier about it. The place is charming and cozy, and the food is fantastic. We ordered four different dishes, and they were all delicious. The house-made pastas are a must-try and come highly recommended.

Lovely, small, intimate, fine Italian dining. Fresh made pasta and sauces. House wines are fabulous and affordable. Staff is polite and made great suggestions. Cannot wait to go back. Reservations recommended as seating for <40 people. Vegetarian options: There are 2 lasagna options, with spinach and ricotta white sauce veg option or traditional tomato and beef. Kid-friendliness: Small intimate venue for adult dining. Wheelchair accessibility: None. Older building with front stair entry only.

Beautiful atmosphere was in good spirits to catch up with old friends. Arrived at 8pm ordered our pastas & food arrived around 8:40pm. They started closing and putting up chairs at 9:45pm. I asked politely what time they usually close, waiter said 11pm. We were still eating our pasta and finishing our bottle of wine. We felt very rushed to get out. Both pasta was a 2/5

I had high hopes for the restaurant. My expectations of an Osteria in general are good quiet and comfy vibes, with great wine selection, appetizers, and astonishing meals. The wine was really good and the appetizers were great. The meal is where it fell short. The tagliatelle was dry and not tasteful. Not bad, just not what I was hoping for. Ill probably seek to try another place in the future.

Had an enjoyable evening here. Great spot for date night or dinner with friends. We will be back!

The food at Osteria Povera is absolutely delicious. They have a wide selection of food and wine, and the price is fair. It is small but cosy. Kid-friendliness: While they do accept kids, I wish they were a little bit more child-friendly (e.g. by having a colouring sheet or a simple kids menu with a small Margherita pizza or a child portion of pasta with bolognese sauce). We would definitely be there more often! Overall a positive experience though and we will be back.

Very cozy restaurant. Excellent pasta made in-house.

This is our favorite restaurant so good. Got pasta with rose sauce highly recommend. So homey just love this place!

This little gem in the heart of Port Moody was a most pleasant surprise. The restaurant was charming, quiet, and cozy. The front end staff was excellent, and the food was AMAZING. Absolutely a five star experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who want a nice environment for visiting and some excellent food.

Found hair in my pasta, disgusting, and got tiramisu that is very dry. A very disappointing birthday dinner. (Ordered through Uber eats)

A perfect place for a romantic date: it s very dark in a small room, with only candles illuminating the dining area. Don t expect anything fancy like wine glasses; however, the napkins are cotton. We ordered tomato soup, penne al pesto, and raw beef, and the food was served in just five minutes. For dessert, we chose vanilla ice cream and lemon tart, paired with cappuccino. We spent 3.5 hours there, and then I realized they closed at 10, so it was time to go. It s such a cozy place that you wouldn t want to leave if the company is right.

Karla was our server and she was personable and attentive. The food was a perfect 10, a prosciutto sandwich and bowl of Tomato soup. We are so glad we found this place. Would recommend it to anyone. Can t wait to return.

If you re actually Italian or know what good/ authentic food is you ll be disappointed. Pasta sauce tasted like it was from a jar (we re pretty sure they use Costco pesto sauce, tastes the same) Tiramisu also tasted store bought and cost $14 It s nicely decorated and the ambiance is nice but the food really ruined the experience. It was bad tasting just painfully average. For the price I would ve expected some quality / authenticity.

Cute little restaurant, the atmosphere was very welcoming and calm. The service staff were very polite and attentive. The food was AMAZING! I had the pesto penne pasta with chicken and devouted every bite. The foccacia bread was also so good. Highly recommend this place, you wont be disappointed!

Small intimate authentic Italian. Not a single bad dish on the menu. Will return, not to be missed!!

Great food, great service. We always enjoy our meals and our experience here!

Beautiful restaurant, amazing authentic food and a great atmosphere.

Excellent evening in a very local place for the Tri City residence

Lunch with a friend and a first-time visit for both of us. The young lady who served us was friendly and helpful. The menu items sounded good, and we both chose different items. I had the bean soup with added pancetta, and my companion had the prosciutto focaccia sandwich with salad. Our ordered wine was served, followed shortly by our food. It quickly became apparent that my friends sandwich was not going to be easy to eat. With every attempted bite, the fillings were falling out. The focaccia was too crisp (dry) and the green side salad had brown pieces of lettuce, not so appetizing. Our server returned the order to the kitchen without question and placed an order for the pasta dish my friend requested. The pesto pasta was excellent and my soup was tasty and hearty. The Moraine wineries off dry 2022 Riesling was perfect for both dishes.

I want to express my disappointment with our recent visit on Oct 19th. My party and I had a reservation at 5:15PM, and while we understand that restaurants can be busy, we were extremely frustrated with how we were treated. Despite having a reservation, after just an hour of being seated, we were handed the bill without asking for it. Shortly thereafter the server came with the Interac machine requesting payment and to make matters worse, and after paying, he informed us that another party was waiting for our table, making us feel rushed and unwelcome. This left a very bad impression, as we were looking forward to enjoying a relaxed dining experience. I understand the importance of keeping things running smoothly, but we felt unfairly pressured to leave before we were done. A reservation should guarantee a proper dining experience, not make us feel like we are being pushed out the door.

The best Italia food since I arrived bin Canada from Sao Paulo 8 years ago,I really recommend

Craved Italian food after just having come back from Italy and came here not expecting to give 5 stars, but the crew here gave us such a great night and dinner just hit the right spot. We had the bruschettini and the complimentary focaccia bread to start. For our mains, we had the ragu tagliatelle and salmon linguine, and finished off with the tiramisu. All excellent with a bottle of wine. Service was perfect. I loved that I didnt have to go all the way downtown. This place is a gem.

really great experience - loved the vibe and energy. Food was fantastic. They did have an unadvertised happy hour for drinks till 5pm which was unexpected and appreciated.

Truly blown away. We were a party of six and we ALL loved our meals. We ordered everything from the Lasagna to the Steak to the Meatballs and we were all beyond impressed! DELICIOUS. Service was fantastic too! I cant say enough about the taste and quality of the food.

Cute and cozy! Food and service was fabulous.

Very excited to find such a nice date night restaurant so close to home. Downtown quality in Port Moody

The food is delicious and little pricey. Atmosphere is quaint, clean and open. It was nice to be able to relax after dinner and not feel rushed. I d recommend this place.

I was there for the first time with my family, to celebrate our daughters birthday. Delicious food, great service, very nice atmosphere and great music in the background. I will definitely go back there because I love Italian cuisine. Ive been to their other restaurant Originals Café Mexicano which is also excellent and the Margarita is the best in town I highly recommend it

I should preface this by saying that, being part Italian, Im a little fussy when it comes to eating at Italian restaurants. Im happy to say that Osteria Povera does not disappoint! Its a very small, quaint restaurant, and thats part of the appeal. The complimentary focaccia bread, salami and tomato paste is just enough to whet the appetite and leave you wanting more. Our table of 7 all had various pasta dishes and they were all amazing. Good portions, spiced well and cooked perfectly. The spicy dishes were spicy enough for those who like a little fire, but not so spicy so as to overshadow the other flavours. The service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Ill definitely return on another evening when I have the time to enjoy a cocktail or some vino, and an after-dinner coffee. Highly recommend - but be sure to make reservations. I understand they have a good following so tables fill up quickly. Id give it 4.5 stars simply because I didnt get to sample all that they have to offer on this particular occasion. Salute!

Great place to have dinner with friends or family

As always our dining experience was exceptional. The restaurant is cozy and full of charm.

Overall good experience. Pasta sauce is great in the dishes I ve tried. Service was wonderful. Everyone was very lovely. Pancetta was really just bacon. I also prefer a stem wine glass. My wine was given to me in a glass almost the same as the water glass obviously not the end of the world but makes a difference. Great atmosphere. Nice dim lighting and music that creates a great vibe.

Great new restaurant in Port Moody. Very Cool!

Its such a cute little spot hidden in Port Moody. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very chill. Totally recommend!

We had the Bomba appetizer. They also brought some extras to us including Parmesan Reggiano with homemade foccacia. It was heavenly. I had the Penne Pesto with chicken. It was so good! My son had a pasta with pancetta and he said it was amazing! He also had a Negroni infused with Applewood and said it was the best Negroni he had ever drunk. Our server was excellent; we loved our food and we loved the general ambiance of the restaurant. It had been recommended to us by a friend and now we are recommending it to everyone!

What a wonderful Italian gem of a restaurant! Excellent food and service.

Good food and a cozy atmosphere. Great spot for a dinner date.

Excellent food. The vegetarian lasagne was the best I have ever had. The steak was also excellent.

Beautiful, picturesque dinning experience. Enjoyed our anniversary here with friends and family. Lovely food and amazing staff. Very accommodating for half our table being vegetarian.

Hard to say, they were not open when we got there ...

Modern decor, good service and food. Our group of 4 really enjoyed the tuna carpaccio along with sourdough with burrata appetizers.

Great portions and delicious food. Ragu was soooo good. Service was a tad slow, but staff were attentive and knowledgeable. If they had just one more person at the bar strictly making cocktails, service would be much smoother. All in all, we had a beautiful evening celebrating a friends birthday. Loved the chic euro vibe. Definitely would go back to try the spaghetti and meatballs (that were the size of my head)

Amazing drinks and antipasti, but the mains missed by a lot unfortunately. I d come back for cocktails but not for the food.

This is a hidden gem. Food is delicious, the staff is efficient, professional and really nice. I have been here several times and the experience has been always positive.

Lovely meal, service and wine at this intimate Italian restaurant.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, with attentive, respectful, friendly service. Looking forward to going again!

Formerly Rosas. New owners updated and renovated the space. Looks amazing inside. They have a pretty good menu, but lacked vongole and other seafood. I highly recommend the ragu and beef/pork meatballs. Id also reco one of the Italian beers on their menu. We dined on a Wednesday night, the restaurant was about half full, and only one girl working the entire FOH. Understandably, service was a little slow, but she provided the best possible service and we had appies to stall for time. The restaurant is also a cafe during the day. Will return for coffee and brunch!

Everything we ordered tastes like happiness , and the compliments sourdough is next level. The arugula salad is a must try.

Went for dinner, overall just ok. The complimentary bread was nice. The Salmon Linguini were good but not outstanding. The Calzone unfortunately was very disappointing, so salty that we couldnt even finish it. The meats used just overpowered everything. Will definitely not have the Calzone again. We did tell staff that we were dissatisfied with the food but we were still charged full price for the Calzone.

I love the vibe of this restaurant and the attention to detail of the interior. It s very beautiful! We were presented with a plate of cheese, bread and meat with a small spread as a complementary pre dinner side. Really a nice touch. The service was good, and we felt well attended to, I enjoyed the service we received. My dinner was really good, steak with veggies and a prawn risotto, fabulous! My salad was awesome as well, and we loved the warm olives. My husbands dish was a beef pasta which was unfortunately way too much salty beef on pasta without any real sauce. I had a bite and it was not appetizing to me, I think id suggest my dish for him to try the next time. My MIL had a salmon dish, which her salmon was unfortunately on the dry side, but the white creme pasta was delightful. I will definitely go back again and try other dishes!!! I loved the atmosphere!

We discovered this restaurant while traveling by chance and what a wonderful discovery! Excellent service and food!! Kid-friendliness: High chairs available

The lunch menu panini s are yummy!

Went here for a date with my wife. We love the atmosphere. Our cocktails were delicious, and the food was really tasty. Will definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

We loved our time here tonight. Service was great, music was nice, starter and mains (Ragu and salmon pastas) were awesome! Excited to come back again!

Small, old-school Italian eatery ran by new ownership. The beef tenderloin was good, gnocchi was delicious, and the red sauce paring was excellent. They had mistaken pizza for lasagna for 2 people at our table of 6. So they didnt get their meal for about an extra 10 to 15 mins after the rest of us were plated. Im not sure if the lasagna was rushed, but the meat was very overcooked and didnt have much flavor. We also had a calzone where the cured meat was tough and overly salty. First time ever experiencing pepperoni that was tough, grindy, and salty. The service was good, but overall experience does not justify the high price point. Feels like more of a low-key family eats than a classy Italian restaurant.

My mom and I came here yesterday night because we were curious since we loved Rosas. We arrived before 5pm and there was only one other table for 2 filled. The server who greeted us had no smile and no welcoming attitude. When he realises that we had no reservation, he tells us in a rude way that he could only give us an hour and 15 minutes. I acknowledge that we should have reserved but for a basically empty restaurant and to say it in a tone like that was so unprofessional that I wanted to walk out but we stayed. Unfortunately his unprofessional attitude continued, my phone does not have any WiFi to use the QR code menu which he gave us. I asked what the WiFi name was and he told me but for some reason he did not tell me the password as well so I have to ask him again what it was while he was on his phone. I dont like giving my phone to strangers but since that was the only way he would type the password, I had to. Already that was the second time I wanted to walk out. The server was not welcoming, no smile no nothing. I dont know if he was having a bad day but he really should not be in the front doing so much then. The food was even worse. We ordered the tomato salad with burata which had no balsamic vinegar and more onions than tomatoes. The pulled pork lasagna was cold when it arrived and burnt so badly around the edges that it was inedible. The spaghetti with meatballs was cold again with not enough tomato sauce and small meatballs that were the same size as the meatballs from the Spaghetti Factory. For dishes that cost that much ($28 each) was a complete rip-off and I would say canned pasta tasted better. Complete disappointment in every way, nothing was good. Not even the water which wasnt even cold and uncovered for who knows how long. Not even 15 minutes after this meal, I was in the bathroom twice. Never coming here again and certainly not going to waste $80 like this ever again.

Can t recommend enough. It s small inside but it made for great, personalized service. Food was unreal, biggest regret is not being able to try the tiramisu (I was too full).

Lunch menu. Great Panninis. Fantastic service. Will become a regular for quality and service. Sit outside or in. Quality ingredients and wine,beer (including local draft) and Italian cocktails available

I really wanted to like this place, as it occupies the old Rosas, which IMO was one of the best Italian restaurants in the Lower Mainland. We drove 30 mins from Vancouver to try it. We made a 645 reservation but when arrived were told our table wasnt ready. We were asked to stand outside ... in the rain. While we were out there, for some odd reason, another staff member locked the front door! I have no idea why, but this was extremely off-putting. The first staff member to help us eventually came to show us to the table, and had to struggle with the lock on the door to let us in. He apologized, and said it was extremely unprofessional for his colleague to lock the door and that he would speak to her about it. Food was really not good. Appies were OK but mains were not. Pastas were ice-cold, and the gnocchi dish was inedible. We gave our feedback to the server when asked, especially about the gnocchi, which was left untouched. Then the bill came, and nothing had been compd, or halved, which most restaurants would do when food is not eaten due to an issue with how its cooked/flavour. Im really sorry, but really had a bad experience and not impressed.

Enjoyed a meal here with a friend last night. The service is exceptional. The girl taking care of us was just so lovely-thoughtful, timing of checking in, knowledgeable, warm. Probably the best experIence I ve EVER had service wise. Really! Food-tuna appetizer was fabulous and a very generous portion. Orriechette with rose sauce was good but not amazing. My friend had the tagliatelle and said the same. Dessert was lemon tart with ricotta and again good not amazing. I hope this place stays as it s just filled with a kind of ambience and local love that is rare.

Great coffee and torta caprese.

I was invited to a dinner with a girlfriend here and had never heard of it or been before. I ordered a pasta and added the half chicken breast to the dinner. I ate most the chicken until I noticed that the thicker end was underdone. I left my plate off to the side and waited a while for someone to come by and check in on our meal. When I brought it to the waiters attention he left and then came back with the bill and a new cooked chicken breast. I thought it was a very strange thing to have been given after the meal was over. Not to mention I was not wanting anymore chicken. The service overall was slow and we felt under acknowledged but Id like to say the food was really good minus the undercooked chicken.

Some of the best pasta I ve had. That with the cocktails which were amazing combined with the atmosphere all made for an incredible experience.

We really enjoyed our late lunch here. I got the spaghetti and meatballs while my partner got a mushroom panini sandwich. Both were quite enjoyable. For drinks we got cappuccino and a latte both of which were very nice. We usually dont get desserts but we have to try the Pasticciotto and sorbet. I only tried the sorbet since my partner forgot to share hers. The sorbet was quite refreshing! Perfect after a heavy pasta. The interior decor is nice! Definitely will come back!

Very nice restaurant and very nice people!

Excellent food, excellent service!

customer service is great the food is great the wine is 10/10 worth a try!!

From the complimentary bread and cheese to the main meal, its the best Italian food Ive ever had. Keep doing what you do. I love you.

Have yet to eat, and I m writing this waiting for my date to arrive. I m basing this purely on the ridiculousness of it, and really to state a point that exceptions can and should be made to absurd rules. I ve come in to a completely empty restaurant for a date. I was told to sit anywhere I d like. I pointed to a corner table by the window, of which happened to be a 4 top. I was told oh anywhere but tables of 4. In A Completely Empty Restaurant. Tuesday night, 5pm in the middle of rush hour . Empty . And an important note all tables of 4 are two tables put together, could have split that table up??? Now I look like a fool shuffling over to a two top as if I m a child veritably being scolded. Maybe the food s good but hey this a bad review based on a customer s perception. My perception is that I m less important in an empty restaurant, unless I have maybe 1 more person . I guess should have felt so lucky to have been welcomed there in the first place??? People vote with their money, and maybe I ll just vote for another restaurant that ll be more accommodating in such a ridiculous scenario. Edit: Food tasted good except a number of lengths of my pasta were stuck together. My date and I were there for over an hour, and unsurprisingly nobody came in the entire time up till when we were just leaving and even then it was only for a party of two. So the review stays. You earned it!! Might have changed if there was a deluge of guests, but it was just me, my date, and the waitress who was watching shows on an i-pad . Ps: Drinking wine out of glass tumblers isn t hip or whatever you were trying to achieve, it cheapens it. Invest in stemware.

My boyfriend and I came across this great ambiance restaurant by chance. It s a nice quaint little place and the greetings and service we received from Ben every time we go there is amazing. Ben is very knowledgeable about the products and drinks. My boyfriend loves Paralyzer cocktail but unfortunately didn t have Kahlua and Ben recommended substituting it with Tia Maria and it s the best Paralyzer my boyfriend ever had. My favourite dish is the pasta and salmon. The fish is cooked to perfection and tasted scrumptious. My boyfriend loves their lasagna. We always order the same thing every time we go. Never disappoint us. This restaurant is highly recommended if you wish to come for nice meals, great service and amazing ambiance. Thanks Ben for looking after us every time we come to dine.

Both dishes my wife and I ordered were over cooked and sauce tasted burnt, never again

Had a really lovely birthday lunch for a friend there today. There were 4 of us and we each had a wonderful meal. Service was timely and we were allowed to savour our meal and visit .

Really happy we decided to come in tonight - we were able to make a reservation which I do recommend as she s just a wee place. We had the bruschetta, a complimentary appetizer of bread, cheese, meat and antipasto, and then the Tagliatelle and Ragu- delicious, and the linguine salmon dish, also really nicely done, seasoning was perfect. Finished with the tiramisu. Service was friendly and attentive just the right amount, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy your meal. Nice ambiance and decor, a really nice addition to the PoMo restaurant scene. We ll be back!

We ordered takeout here for my brothers birthday meal tonight, and the food was so terrible we ended up having a laugh over it. Easily the worst Italian food I ve had in Vancouver/greater area, definitely had better meals at east side Mario s lol, for comparison. We picked up ourselves on time and got the ragu, pesto pasta, lasagna, orecchiette, meatballs and two salads. The highlights for sure were the meatballs and orecchiette pasta, which were both tasty and the pasta dish was the only warm thing we got. However, the lasagna was so salty it was inedible and the ragu sauce was extremely dry and tasted burnt. The salads were literally just two bowls of chopped up tomatos literally just chopped roma tomatoes. We fought over the 2 pieces of cucumber and 3 pieces of bread. When a meal is this poorly executed its becomes funny and we all had a laugh over it in the end, dumped it in the trash and got some A&W. We were expecting amazing food based on other reviews, so not sure what was happening in the kitchen tonight, but for what this dinner cost we ll never be back.

10/10 the food was amazing, the service was quaint and intimate. The prices are competitive for a more upscale dining experience, especially in the Vancouver area. There is obviously deep thought put into the food, drinks and atmosphere right down to the independently sourced cups and saucers from Mexico! I learned this is the same group who runs Originals and the quality shows. I had the steak Risotto w/ the gimlet to start. It was delicious until the last bite and presentation was spot on. The flavours all compliment each other well without overwhelming. The cocktails are delicious and well priced. The staff is friendly and has great suggestions. The desserts were unreal, top shelf quality flavours and the portion sizes were more than generous, especially for the price. Highly recommended for any occasion, celebration or a rainy Wednesday, you wont be disappointed.

Went in for drinks and appies. Very happy with this little gem.

Extremely disappointing

An Italian Culinary Journey at Osteria Povera in Port Moody: From the moment you step inside, this cozy restaurant radiates warmth. The menu has a delightful array of traditional Italian dishes, each crafted with care and authenticity. We started with Bruschettini Pugliese and Affettati e olive fritto. They were perfect!! For the main courses, we indulged in the Linguine e salmone, Lasagna and Spaghetti aglio olio e prezzemolo. Equally delicious. And of course we had to try the desserts: Grappa Tiramisu(it probably needed more mascarpone), Frittelle di Carnevale and Torta al Limone which the attentive and friendly Jessica made more special by adding a birthday candle to celebrate the occasion. Whether you re savoring a romantic dinner or gathering with friends and family, Osteria Povera promises an authentic taste of Italy and you will definitely be planning your next visit.

The food was excellent, but the service was slow. We found ourselves constantly looking for a server. We likely would have had one more drink if wed been served quicker. A couple of other service things happened... a server removed a dirty piece of cutlery from a side plate and put it back on the table for us to use instead of replacing it, and then another server filled my almost empty wine class with water. These are not things that will prevent us from going back, though. The new ambiance in the place is lovely. We enjoyed the space.

Mid

Great Italian food and it s definitely gotten better since they first opened. Service can a be little slow, it s a very small restaurant.

Came here on a whim based on a pasta craving and seeing some of the reviews and decided to give it a try. First, definitely make reservations as this place does get busy. Secondly, the prosciutto and burrata dish was tasty, they re generous on the prosciutto but it s definitely lacking on the burrata side. They also give you a complimentary appetizer with bread, an antipasto, which is a nice touch and very tasty. I ordered the gnocchi and it was a bit over done. The sauce was good, the meat was decent, but the gnocchi was a little too well cooked that it became like a mush. We also ordered a ragu, again sauce was well made, but the pasta was a tad overcooked so it was super soft. Overall, pleasant experience, and will probably go back to try again someday.

My boyfriend and I ordered a nice meal to go, and had even mentioned in the notes to please double check order prior to pick up, as the first time we ordered it was wrong as well. This time was nothing short of embarrassing for the restaurant, only had ordered two dishes, and they were both entirely wrong. The salmon and capers were missing the capers (IT IS LITERALLY IN THE NAME), as well as the panzerotti, which was supposed to come with salami and it ended up coming with salted fish and cheese in the deep fried dough. Luckily none of us have fish allergies . Incredibly disappointed. I made multiple attempts to contact the restaurant to inquire about the issues with the order but was unsuccessful in all my attempts. It s a shame, we really enjoyed our first time eating here when we sat down at the restaurant but have been utterly disappointed with both our orders for take out.

A wonderful find during our wandering in Port Moody! We came in for a lunch without reservation a day or two before New years day. The cozy atmosphere of a small place with a friendly and attentive server added to the delights of the meal. The pasta was cooked al dente and the sauces were flavourful. When visiting Port Moody, consider dropping by for a great lunch or dinner, I believe you wont regret.

Nice little spot for a gourmet Italian meal in Port Moody. Very small restaurant, good service, delicious food.

Recently came here after work on Thursday. So lovely to support local business. These guys also operate the Mexican restaurant. I have to say the food was amazing. I ordered the Salmon. Ive no idea how they made it, but it was the nicest salmon I have eaten. The pasta was perfectly aldente also.

Great cozy little Italian restaurant. Make reservations!

Food and service was great!

Great small Italian restaurant in Port Moody. Nice quality of food, perfect portions and cozy atmosphere.

Some things better than expected, other things not. Pasta was very salty (thought it was just me but I see other reviews saying the same). Left 1/2 of it on my plate. Another main from our party had noodles stuck together. Portions are good size. Focaccia and cheese to start is a nice touch.

It wasnt very good. The bread was hard as a rock. We started with the Panzerotti and it was 90% pastry and barely any filling. Our table of 3 had the spaghetti and meatballs, the meatballs were good but the spaghetti wasnt anything special. I could make better pasta at home. Pretty disappointing. Rated 1 stars since service was good but thats about it. We wont be going back.

Osteria is a lovely little Italian restaurant located in Port Moody. It has a wonderful atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. The prices were a little high but worth it in the end; that is except for the kids pasta. We essentially paid 5000% cost (or more even) for a small bowl of plain spaghetti (it came with sauce but my kid doesnt eat sauce). It put a slight damper on the whole thing knowing I could have easily made the same meal for less than a dollar and 10 minutes of my life. The other meals were fantastic, however, and I would recommend them highly. I would return again without a doubt, though Id likely leave my kid with a sitter instead of bringing her along. Kid-friendliness: Staff were great, kids food was grossly overpriced for younger kids however. If your kid doesnt like sauce leave them at home.

Went for my aunts birthday, staff was excellent food is exceptional. This place is a gem. will definitely be going back! They even gave us a lemon cake with a birthday candle for my auntie. Thank you for a great night

Large portions....good taste...reasonably priced...friendly staff

VERY IMPORTANT MUST READ: Lunch was amazing. Server was exceptional. Delicious food. Luxury food at unbeatable prices. Large filling panini for $16 with a side salad!!! The freshest ingredients in town.

We had such a lovely lunch at this cozy and pretty little restaurant. To start, we ordered the insalata di pomodoro with burrata to share (it was a sizeable portion!) The tomatoes were especially so fresh, ripe, and delicious. I had the Funghi e Bomba panini which was fantastic - I ll be back to order it again! My husband had the lemonade as well which wasn t too sweet and extremely refreshing. Great service and very fresh ingredients. Would definitely recommend to others and will look forward to returning!

The place is too dark. Its hard to see your food. Beef tartar was dry.

We came in for a impromptu date night. Will was our server and was absolutely fantastic! The food was unbelievable, ambience was incredible and just an overall amazing time! We will be back very soon!! Already recommended to many people!

Delicious meal and fantastic service! We had such a great experience celebrating a birthday here last night. I ordered the Salmon Linguine-- it was amazing. So delicious. We will definitely be back and will recommend to our friends. Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to our 4-year old. Made a delicious, kid friendly butter/cheese linguine for our daughter. She loved it.

Authentic! So good I had to eat it all!

First visit after since the change over from Rosas, Very cool fresh renovation, Mothers Day celebration,we enjoyed pasta dishes,pricey Felt a bit rushed But Id go try it again

Tasty, beautiful, aesthetically pleasing

Delicious

It was an okay experience for me but I ve had better Italian food and I think there s room for improvement. The overall service was great and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I personally enjoyed the complimentary bread and cheese and salami which went fantastic with my wine. The prosciutto and burrata salad as an appetizer was good but the ratio of burrata to prosciutto was off - too much meat and not enough cheese. The bolognese sauce on my pasta was great but I thought that the noodle was a bit over cooked. The gnocchi was the most expensive item that we ordered but unfortunately the gnocchi s texture was too doughy and not fluffy enough. There were elements of dishes that we liked, for sure. But there was always something that prevented the dish from being truly great. I would love to come back at a later date to compare in the future!

Stylish decor, great service and generous tasty food!

Beautiful restaurant, tastefully decorated. The ambiance is elevated and the the food is generous. Our server was professional and provided a fantastic service. Great food, fun playlist and an overall quality experience. Highly recommend it.

Ambience is Nice and Service was attentive, However food was disappointing and sadly our pasta was overcooked.

We went to celebrate a birthday. First time there so excited to try it. Cozy atmosphere and the waitress was friendly. Had a few appetizers which were good. When the food came only 4 of the 5 meals came out. We waited a few minutes, then a few more before the waitress apologized to say it would be out soon. It was well over 20 minutes behind everything else. The dinners were ok, but nothing special. One dish looked like canned peas were used. The color of the peas were not green anymore. When I finally got my spaghetti the sauce was watery. Dessert was a lemon tart that was dry, and they didnt offer to comp anything due to the mix up. We likely wont go back.

Great new addition to Port Moody! Service was on point and food was really delicious. It s a small space so better make a reso!

A delightful atmosphere with a modern yet charming Italian aesthetic. Professional service with a warm touch. Complimentary bread platter was a wonderful surprise and gave me a sample of what I was to expect later on. Fresh delicious ingredients and wonderful fragrances from the Parmesan and tomato spread. I ordered the Penne Pesto with a full chicken breast and the serving was extremely generous and wonderfully seasoned. Juicy and cooked just the right amount. The Aperol Spritz I ordered was also a highlight of the meal and crafted perfectly. To end the meal, I ventured for the tiramisu and was not let down. Frankly speaking, it was the best tiramisu I ve ever had with a sizable dousing of fresh dusted chocolate and fruits. Even though I was rather stuffed at this point, I happy finished off every morsel. I look forward to returning and engaging on another Italian culinary journey at Osteria Povera! Ciao!

They did a decent job of the interior design though it felt a bit sterile. It was an instagrammable interior but didn t feel like it had much soul. Too clean and unloved. The food was fine, not a lot of flavour, it wasn t anything that could get me to go back for. Don t think it was worth the price, though the portions were a good size. I don t understand why trendy restaurants don t fully complete their concepts! They put all this effort into the space but why am I listening to terrible top 40 music while eating at this trendy place?? I almost asked them to change the music, I was rattled. The service was great, the waiter/waitress were lovely and welcoming! Thanks to them. Also the chef was kind enough to cut a birthday cake and present it to us.

Yes, yes, yes...finally, an excellent Italian. You gotta try this. Seriously, you cant go wrong. Its, refreshingly, not traditional in a good way. Youre not going to find your run-of-the-mill dishes that every, so called, Italian restaurant serves. What you will find are little gems of goodness that remind of Italy. Buon appetito

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Port Moody. From the decor to service, everything was on point. We really love the vibe here and the new owners have done an excellent job with the place. Out of all the dishes we had, I would really recommend the Burrata and the salmon based spaghetti. They can definitely improve on the desserts as the tiramisu was soggy. Other than that it s perfect. Love supporting local restaurants

One of the best dining-out experiences Ive ever had. Everything from the food menu was delicious right from the appetizers to the main entree. I would strongly recommend everyone give this quaint little restaurant a try. The servers provided friendly and courteous Quick service.

Love the retro vibe, and the food was delicious!

The food was amazing. I had the Linguine Salmono. It was delivered piping hot to the table. As pasta cools of quickly, it is important it starts of hot. The piece of salmon was large and done to perfection. The service was attentive. The place is small, so make sure to make reservations.

Great atmosphere. Something about the decor and music felt really special and intimate. They had fresh cut chills on hand which was amazing with my pasta. Finishing with an espresso and tiramisu which went together flawlessly. Vegetarian options: Pesto Penne or Spinach Lasagna

We had the best time at Osteria Povera! The food was incredible, really delicious We ordered beef tartare, salmon linguine and tenderloin parmegiana gnocchi, and everything was perfection. The service was FANTASTIC and extremely friendly. The cocktails were DELICIOUS! Five starts for the lemon sorbet cocktail We 1000% recommend Osteria Povera! The whole experience was such a nice surprise!!

Fantastic little restaurant, just what Port Moody needs. Food was incredible, staff were fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Wow! All I can say is Ive been here several times, and its amazing! Being a regular at Rosas for over 20 years, I had high expectations, but Osteria Povera managed to fill some big shoes. The renovation carried out by the new owners was simply breathtaking. I was blown away by the transformation; its hard to believe its the same restaurant. The service was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. One of my favorites is their lasagna with hand made pasta that you can cut with a fork and melts in your mouth. I also love to customize my own pasta dish. I combine their Pomodoro picante sauce with penne and meatballs, and it turns out amazing. If youre a fan of spicy arrabiata sauce, you should definitely give this one a try. The complimentary antipasto dish they serve is a delightful treat. Although I loved Rosas, its not fair to compare the two restaurants. Osteria Povera offers a much more sophisticated Italian dining experience. One of the things I appreciate is the ability to reserve a table without having to line up like farm animals. Initially, I had some reservations due to negative reviews I had read, but I strongly encourage you to give this place a chance. If I were to offer a suggestion to the restaurant, it would be to include an inexpensive house wine and expand their selection of lower-cost wines. This would provide more options for patrons and enhance the overall dining experience.

I should have photographed the prosciutto starter we ordered, and the little meat and cheese and bread dish they brought us on the house! All so yummy, and such a cozy romantic atmosphere. Servers were super friendly too. The salmon and white sauce pasta was perfectly seasoned - most places are too salty or too bland but this place knows that theyre doing! Tasty and just right. I love how much cheese was on my pasta, and the salmon was not dry nor overcooked which was a nice surprise :) will return for sure!

The atmosphere and the service were good! Cute place. Pasta wasn t Al dente (overcooked) for both dishes we ordered, which was disappointing The sauce lacked depth of flavour in my opinion.

This is a very aesthetically appealing restaurant! Wine was great! Ordered some snacks: prosciutto burrata which was lacking cheese in my eyes, and the beef tartare which was a bit too dry and crumbling! Bread was also quite dense and chewy. Food

My partner and I visited Osteria Povera on a Friday night and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the dishes. We started with the funghi, carciofo, peperoncino antipasto, which was a perfect combination of mushrooms, artichokes, and chili peppers. The flavors were fresh and balanced, and the portion was generous. For the main course, we had the tagliatelle ragu and the gnocchi e filetto alla parmigiana. The tagliatelle was cooked al dente and coated with a rich and meaty sauce. The gnocchi was soft and fluffy, and the filet was tender and juicy. The parmigiana cheese added a nice touch of creaminess and saltiness. Both dishes were satisfying and filling. The ambiance of the restaurant was romantic and intimate, with dim lighting and soft music. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for the quality. We had a wonderful time at Osteria Povera and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and delicious Italian experience.

We stopped in on a Wednesday evening and had a wonderful experience. The food was fabulous and service attentive. I am hoping to go back again and again. Food

Cute Italian atmosphere, waiter was really lovely. However, the service was extremely slow we were waiting for our food for 45 minutes just pasta then for 10 minutes our tiramisu at the end they mixed up our bill. Lasagna definitely does not cost 28$, the sauce was sour and the meet itself quite bland. Pasta with pesto was good. Overall, very overpriced and long wait.

Delicious food, friendly staff! Salmon linguine is our favourite and we often get it as takeout. Lunch is also very yummy, great sandwiches. Nice to have them in the neighbourhood.

Delicious, fresh pasta! I had their pesto pasta and the sauce was divine. I could really tell they used good quality ingredients. We also received a complimentary bread and cheese plate which had fresh bread, cubes of fresh parmesan, meat, and lovely fresh tomato puree. Only thing to note was it took quite a while for our food. Vegetarian options: Pesto pasta, tomato pasta, salads, vegetarian pizza.

We had a fabulous dinner here. The service was great and the food was delicious!

Care and attention to detail - the defining features of Osteria Povera! The decor is chic but inviting, the dishes simple but delicious, yet the service steals the show. From the comprehensive complimentary appetizer, to the at-table Prosecco top-up, to packing up your takeout for you (unheard of post-Covid) - highly recommend for a nice evening out.

Fantastic experience! Love the vibe of the place. Excellent pasta and great service. We will be back

Great atmosphere, the food isnt bad, the service could use some work.

I was disappointed with my experience as I was looking for a fancy restaurant to frequent in my neighborhood. The meal started strong with complimentary bread with cheese, cured meat, and tomato paste. The items were delicious. Then came the pizza, it was undercooked. There was no char/colour anywhere on the pizza and it was soggy. The pasta followed soon after and it was overcooked. Al dente is how I expected an Italian restaurant to prepare the pasta but instead the pasta was soft. Both pizza and pasta had fresh ingredients but unfortunately it was poorly executed. We were never offered pepper flakes or grated cheese to go with our food either so I was disappointed with the service.

There was a sharp shard or glass or plastic in my food, and they pretty much did nothing about it. Luckily, I felt it in my mouth and didnt eat it. Food

The pasta and salads were delicious. Fresh and rich ingredients! Accommodating service without reservation.

What a wonderful little jewel in Port Moody. Went to a family event. The restaurant is small but it makes the experience more intimate. the food was fabulous. The best tiramisu I ve had!

We came here the other night for a special event, our family booked out the entire restaurant. The service was absolutely fabulous, the food was amazing, it was the perfect spot to host a surprise birthday party to hold about 30 to 40 people! Everything was first served family style, which was really nice, we started off with an appetizer plate with a delicious salad, salamis, cured meats, warm olives, and cheese, etc. it was all so fabulous. Highly recommend the salad and warm olive. They also brought out table bread, the table bread, I felt could have used some butter, but I don t know if that s traditional in Italy, but that s just my personal preference. Nonetheless, it was delicious. It was then followed with a massive plate of spaghetti/pasta, the biggest play the past I ve ever seen, half the plate was red sauce with meatballs, and the others half was chicken fettuccine. I opted for the red sauce as that s usually what I go for, but then I tried the fettuccine, and I was blown away. I don t normally Like Alfredo sauce, but this was ridiculously good. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and although the meal did not come out piping hot, I actually shared with everyone that I think that I preferred it not piping hot, because the sauce really stuck to the noodles well as a result , so it made for an even more flavourful dish! the party planners did bring their own birthday cake, but the restaurant also served the lemon tart and tiramisu, my husband was drooling over the lemon tart, and it was the best tiramisu ever had. And this is coming from somebody that owns a Bakery, it was outstanding. I m looking forward to returning and trying more items on the menu!

Fabulous food and staff

Tried it but won t be back. Small tables spaced too close so no intimacy. High prices for the value. Servers need training about service. Came home with stomach cramps from something I ate. Certainly not a Rosa s. Food

Great lunch, had the pesto pasta and cappuccino but could have tried so many more items. The decor and service was fantastic!

Hi my friends and I were disappointed with the food we ordered and service was lacking . I think if you are spending money and trying to support a small business then at least the food should be up to par ...the cutlets aka tenderloin were overdone and pasta lukewarm . Ty for taking the time to read this review .. .. also the service was less than satisfactory our server didnt seem interested in serving and maybe he was having a bad day but who doesnt.. again paying high prices we all expected more ..especially in our current economy .. Ty kindly hopefully these issues get resolved

Realy nice place, the food is great..one of my new favourite place in Port Moody !

We came to this location for the first time since Mama Rosa closed down. It is still top quality food! Portions are smaller but overall very much enjoyed them. I recommend the salmon Linguini !

Coming from a huge Rosas fan who went there often, I would say that theyve done a really nice job with the decour. Its a lot quieter than it used to be, but it feels nice. I just hope that this doesnt result in people keeping to themselves... That was one of the great things about Rosas, it was an experience and people werent afraid to chat with other tables. We thought the food was pretty good. One issue for us was that the plates were ICE-cold, like freezing cold, and this cause the food to be cold almost immediately as well. We mentioned this to the waiter and he was unfortunately a bit dismissive, offered to get us new plates which by that point wouldnt have solved anything. Im looking forward to going again, Ill definitely be back, Ill just be sure to ask for a warm plate next time - and if that can be addressed, I expect to update to 5 stars. Cheers.

Enjoyed prosciutto starter, pasta was great with decent portions but pizza was disappointing. Great flavors but it was kids size pizza.

appetizers mains atmosphere service overall recommended to visit this place after meals

Wil was our server and he was totally amazing!!!!The Pasta that I ordered as well as the atmosphere and service was so good. This restaurant has such a great ombiounce. We didnt order desert because we were so full from the delicious food we ate, but because it was my Birthday they gave me a free Birthday desert with a candle, which was just so wonderful!!!! I will definitely be going back again as well as recommending this restaurant to others. Thank you so much for a great Birthday night!!!!

Lovely restaurant I had pesto delicious Will was excellent atmosphere was lovely I recommend it to everyone it would be nice if they had wine glasses Vegetarian options: It s nice they offer it

Delicious

The dining experience at this establishment fell short of our expectations. We were highly disappointed with the quality of the food. The bread served to us was as hard as a rock, making it almost inedible. Our initial choice, the Panzerotti, was a major letdown as well. It consisted mostly of pastry, with a minimal amount of filling, which left us feeling unsatisfied. Moving on to the main course, our table of three ordered the spaghetti and tomatoe soup. While the soyps were just ok w excess of cream, the spaghetti itself was rather lackluster. It lacked the flavor and creativity that we were hoping for, and we couldnt help but think that we could have made a much better pasta dish at home. No I know i CAN MAKE A BETTER PASTAS at home Despite the disappointment in the food, we must acknowledge that the service provided to us was commendable. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. However, this alone wasnt enough to salvage our overall dining experience. Regrettably, we can only rate this establishment with one star due to the unsatisfactory food quality. Although the service was good, it doesnt compensate for the lackluster dishes we encountered. As a result, we have decided not to return in the future. FYI i miss Rosa s(previous Italian here)

My husband and I came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday over the weekend. I was excited as I love Italian food and I knew it had taken over the former Rosa s location. The food was delicious - however it was slow to arrive. Even the complimentary starter bread came well after we ordered. We were both disappointed in the service, particularly because it was a Saturday night and not at a very busy time when we went. Our server definitely dressed the part in his suit but failed to check on us. He was slow to take our order and did not stop by to ask how our food was or to refill our water - things I haven t experienced at a restaurant. I was also hoping he would engage with us more - I would have loved to share that it was my birthday. The servers were all chatting away at the bar and seemed disinterested in actually serving their customers. It was only when I made eye contact that he seemed to remember he was at work In all, I would come back for the food but not the service. Hopefully this can be improved upon as this is part of the restaurant/going out experience.

Food was good, but the portion are way too small. I shouldnt leave hungry after an appetizers and a meal as a 150lbs male

The restaurant is small and intimate and decorated very nicely. Our waiter was very helpful. One of the best espresso martinis Ive had! The food was amazing and great value.

Amazing risotto!!!

Very cute little restaurant with amazing pasta. Ambience is great. Service attentive and friendly. The pasta was incredible and the tiramisu was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Appetizers and wine were good. I personally didnt like my gf penne pasta. My partner had the same impression about his pasta. We were waiting for the main course for a solid 30 minutes.

This is my first time here, and this is the worst restaurant Ive ever had in Vancouver. I ordered my food, and after 50 minutes it came out cold. Also, I was mistaken that another friend ordered the side dish, so it came out to me. Im responsible for not noticing it, but I was really upset that He made a mistake in ordering. It was the worst experience ever.

Went to the restaurant for a lunch date with some girlfriends on a Monday and arrived right at noon. The restaurant was only about 1/3 full so not overly busy. We all ordered the tomato salad with the burrata. It took 40 minutes after being seated for our first course to arrive (we figured they had to grow the tomatoes themselves first) and when it did, the tomatoes were unripe, green, and crunchy. The burrata was nice and creamy, but the entire salad was lacking in some seasoning. The main pasta dish I ordered was simple in its taste but also arrived not hot at all. It was room temperature at best, along with the half chicken breast on top. The ladies I was eating with said the same thing of their mains. The food was basically cold. Overall, nice atmosphere but overpriced for the disappointing flavours and quality of the food. I left with the feeling that I could make the same thing for a fraction of the cost with better quality ingredients. I had great company at the lunch though so it wasnt a total flop!

We were waiting over 10min although other table was empty. They didnt explain we how to check menu. After ordering it took more than 45min until we got meal. Meal was cold. Finally waiters misunderstood our order.

Ive been here twice now and its a great little spot - cozy but with a chic aesthetic, a small but well-curated wine list, and a well-executed menu. I had the salmon and linguine both times and the dish was consistently lovely. Much like their sister restaurant Originals, the service is unhurried so if youre in a rush I would recommend letting your server know ahead of time, but if youre not in a rush, its a great place to linger! I hope the community comes out to support it, because its a worthy addition to the PoMo dining scene.
