Italian Kitchen in Vancouver

Corey was amazing. Very attentive to our table. Made us feel very comfortable. Service was quick and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Was here for office Christmas party. Hospitality was great and we had good quality dineout time.

The Sicilian Mussels and black squid ink seafood linguine are amazing and will not disappoint. Excellent wine selection and even better service and ambiance. I will be back.

Your dinner menu has become extremely limited I used to really enjoy coming there however I think yesterday will be my last time. I had specifically called your restaurant prior to coming and asked why maze or chicken parmigiana was not on your menu. The receptionist said please don t worry when you get to the restaurant. Please ask your server and they will make it for you. This is exactly what I did yesterday when we went for dinner and I was told that they are too busy to make it Very disappointed

Peter is very accommodating and friendly. The food and ambiance is always a win!

Peter is awesome!

Our server Peter was so enthusiastic & understand what we need.

Good place and delicious food, pleasant atmosphere

Amazing food, service was excellent and drinks were in point. Only down size our party was on the outside patio which was a little chilly for this time of the year but Im sure it would be amazing in the spring and summer...

diarrhea the very next morning, nothing to say living 20 plus years in Vancouver

Marco was an excellent waiter and provided amazing service. Couldn t have asked for a better person to serve us.

Its one of my favorite restaurants in Downtown Vancouver. CoY dinning area with excellent service. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

David was an amazing host. Really enjoyed the dinner.

Food was good, server Alena was great. Patio was a little chilly but it is December.

Very poor customer service

This place surprised me in a great way! Wonderful service and atmosphere. I also really liked sitting outside on the heated patio during the winter which I didn t expect. It was cozy, toasty, and had a nice view. The carbonara was also lovely not too heavy! One of the waitresses also gave me as much parmesan as I wanted and I hope she gets a lifetime of joy in return.

My coworkers and I visited Italian Kitchen a few days ago, and we were thoroughly satisfied with both the service and the quality of the food. The staff was attentive and welcoming, ensuring we had a great experience. The dishes were absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of authentic flavors. It was a perfect spot for our gathering, and we ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Very welcoming and warm, we got a seat at the patio and the background is very nice and lovely to take photos.

Had a wonderful time at Italian Kitchen. Great food, drinks, ambience, and service. Bartender Daniel was so awesome! Ms. Finn and I ll be back

Peter was a super fantastic waiter

Artem was the absolute best! Fantastic meal with even better service

Peter was very good

Black truffle spaghetti and meatballs left me dreaming. Would go back just for those. Great service and ambiance.

You have to give them your phone number to be seated. That s not very friendly service.

Alena was superb, very pleasant, helpful and great customer service

Got a deal from this restaurant group. The food was either too salty or no taste. But the dessert was excellent. The service was very good.

our server tara was very kind and accommodating, she was always refilling our waters and making sure we were okay :), the food was amazing, we did the buy-up deal and it was delicious and fresh! overall experience was 10/10 and I will definitely be back! thank you to tara for being so lovely and making my first experience at this restaurant an amazing one!

Top shelf!!

I had a superb dining experience with my friends at Italian Kitchen. Our server was very attentive to bring us drinks at the right moment. The food tasted fantastically delicious. I recommend the pasta platter which is a generous portion for 3-4 people to allow everyone a taste of the best flavours Italian Kitchen has to offer. You wont be disappointed.

Everything is perfect. Food was unreal, and our server Jeremy went way above and beyond for us.

The food was mediocre. The pasta in the cheese wheel was a very fun experience for the table side. However, the pasta was not the best, like hard to chew and weird flavor. It was $55 each and I couldnt finish it. Would be nice to have shrimp, garlic, and butter pasta instead. We ordered 3 appetizers. We only enjoyed the calamari! It was the best I had in a long time. The desert was very good as well. Their signatures tiramisu was amazing. The endless bread dipped in oil & balsamic was so good! I really enjoyed this part of our meal. Everything else was mediocre. But I can say the atmosphere is so great and the staff is truly the best!! The staff is the best part of the restaurant, in my opinion. Very thoughtful, helpful, and highly appreciated. My bf and I had a great night with Adam as our server. Adam, You made our evening worth the visit. Thanks for the great service 10/10 best staff.

Was invited to a birthday dinner. The veal I had was not what I thought it would be. The presentation of the dish looked very unappetising and was too salty for my liking. I dont know why they removed the Assaboco. Scott was an excellent host for our table.

Peter was our server today, and he was phenomenal. I hope my boss gave him a generous tip.

Had a company holiday dinner here. Genuine Italian restaurant, sumptuous food, great service.

The food was amazing and the waiter Adam really made the experience. Highly recommend

We dined in at the Italian Kitchen as part of their buy it up promotion. The deal was $130+tax+mandatory 18% gratuities for a 4 course meal. The entree includes two types of pasta, lobster, and steak. On paper it is a really good deal, but in reality, while I still believe there is value in this, we did not feel fully satisfied at the end of the meal. For appetizers we were served Arancino alla Parmigiana, an Italian deep fried rice ball. While it tasted good, it was as big as a meatball and that was the entirety of the appetizer. Also, it was served very luke warm and it is very apparent it was made in bulk and has been sitting on the counter for a long time. For salad and soup, we were served burrata & beets salad and Tuscan soup. No complaints about the salad, it tasted good and the portion was good. But for the soup, again, tiny portions, a few sips at most. Finally, the entree platter for 2: Lasagna, squash rigatoni, 10oz prime striploin, and a 1lb lobster. For a place with the word Italian in it, I expected more from the two pasta dishes we were served. We both agreed the lasagna we make at home tasted better, and that the squash rigatoni was bland. Steak was acceptable given the cut, but nothing extraordinary. Lobster was a stand out though, tender and seasoned wonderfully. We would pay more just to eat this and it is definitely a highlight of the meal. Overall, it was an okay meal for us, the vibe we got was eating mass produced food at a fancy restaurant at a discounted price. But with the price spent, we would rather order from the normal menu next time.

Peter was excellent in service and humour.

Adam was the best, he made our visit remarkable

Amazing food, one of the best tiramisus I have ever had. Shout out to our waiter Adam for the great service and taking a family photo for us.

Eaten here a few times. Some of the worst pasta in the city. No idea why people eat here.

Had a very lovely experience at Italian Kitchen tonight! The table side caccio de pepe is a must try. We brought my fiancé s mother here for dinner, and Artem (our waiter) was amazing. We ll be back!

Jeremy was absolutely fantastic, fast service and so Incredibly nice. I would give him 10 starts if I could! will be back!

First time at this new location (not sure when they moved from Alberni St). All the pasta was very tasty. Cocktails were great also as were the desserts. Their tiramisu was super fluffy almost like eating marshmallows.

I came here for a dinner with my colleagues and we had such an amazing experience with Jeremy as our server. We were a large group but he attended to each and every one of us in a tentative, warm and informative manner. We had a widespread of food from different pastas, to calamari, brussel sprouts, shrimp, arancini, steak, meatballs and more. Everything was perfect although the pasta platter wasnt the best Ive had but still good. The wine was great and we loved our dessert. Jeremy made the experience very special for us. We had 4 birthdays at the table and he brought out candles for each of their desserts. I would definitely come again.

Corey was great

I had a great expereince at the restuarant because of Corey

Corey was amazing!!! Food was fantastic Vegetarian options: Amazing Food : 5/5 |

Thanks to Corey for the amazing service tonight!

Corey was amazing ! Thank you !

Amazing! Great vibes! The spaghetti and meatballs was phenomenal and if your lucky enough to have Corey as your server then your in for a treat!

Corey s the best super charming and funny AND seafood linguini was the BOMB!

Had a pleasant experience at Italian Kitchen! The food was decent, though not extraordinary, but the beautiful presentation really elevated each dish. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a nice evening out. Would recommend if youre looking for a nice place to relax with great service!

Beautiful restaurant and very nice food. I wouldn t say it s the most memorable but the server was lovely and the atmosphere was very upscale. Food

Asma was great, and made us feel right at home. Her suggestions were bang on, they treated us like royalty and we highly recommend this establishment. Also Assan was very helpfull with wine pearing and his knowledge and professionalism were unparrelled.

The food and the service was great, Jeremy is so friendly and take good care of us . It was our wedding anniversary and we have a great dinner.

Not a polite waiter due to Tip that we paid $5 he didn t say thanks or good bye even Unfortunately these days you can Persian restaurant with great portions and high quality and low prices so it s hard to compete with great restaurants Italian kitchen is not the one that you need to try you will find much better persian restaurant instead.

We came in on Wednesday for lunch and had excellent service with a smile. Audrey is an amazing server, she paid special attention to our date night!

Artem was our server and he was fantastic! He recommended dishes that were absolutely incredible He made our experience top notch! He even threw in a free dessert Thank you Artem! We will definitely be back Parking: There is a parking lot right beside the restaurant

Me and my family went to Trattoria for dinner tonight, and it was such an amazing experience. By far one of the best experiences I ve had at a restaurant to date. Our server Kristi was on top of everything and so kind, the other workers who came and cleared plates and gave us Parmesan were nice and comedic. We spoke to the owner and he was lovely and overall we had such an amazing experience. What I also love is that at Trattoria it s high end service where you are treated at a high level with quality service, but also can afford the meals and drinks as they offer food in lower to higher ranges. Even with it being a place to go within budget, it felt extremely fancy, well kept, and proper in the best way possible.

We had a wonderful dinner at IK. Goran was our server and he was great. Looking forward to next time.

We went in for the dinner for two promotion. The promotion is just from the 28th of Oct to Jan 1st on Sunday and Mondays only. We came on the 27th not reading the fine print on the bottom of the promotion. We were first told its fine and they would honor the deal. After 10 mins, we were told they would not honor the promotion. As we were leaving, I made a comment to the hostess that it didnt make sense that it would start on the 28th and not the 27th since its only valid Sundays and Mondays. She said, You wouldve known that if you read it properly. There were two other couples that had the same problem. I think the customer service could have been better from the hostess. We will be coming back to try the promotion, but the atmosphere did not feel welcoming or kind after this encounter.

Corey is outstanding!

Quaint & picturesque seating with incredibly attentive & engaging service, food was great and the atmosphere was lovely! Thank you :)

The octopus appetizer was delicious. However, the feature mussel and chanterelle mushroom pasta was a letdown. It lacked depth and seasoning, making it quite bland and not worth the $42 price. On a positive note, the service was excellent.

jeremy was excellent he was professional, efficient, and had a great sense of humor would love to have him again

I ve been coming here since March of 2024, every time i ve come I had a different waiter. I had Jeremey this time and he was exceptional. He is very professional, he has a great sense of humour and is very relatable.

Jeremy provided outstanding and professional service. Christina is a gem and together they helped create an exceptional evening for us!!!

The lasagna was the best ever. Our server, Reiko was amazing!

Jeremy was excellent, super attentive and really looked after us. Food was great, atmosphere was relaxed and warm.

Celebrating a big win with the team and could think of nowhere else better to do it than Italian Kitchen. Flawless family style service courtesy of Jeremy! Food was spot on - go for the table side lobster caccio Pepe!! Tried the Zeppole on his recommendation and they were delish!

Food was delicious and service excellent by Jeremy. Thank you

Was here to enjoy good food and good company... Jeremy s friendly service was such a nice bonus! Thank you for adding to an already fun evening!

Food was great and Jeremy was fantastic! Highly recommended....

The atmosphere of the restaurant gave us a great impression. What s more, we were kindly and professionally served by Corey with delicious dishes!

In town on business. Co-worker took us here for happy hour/dinner after a VERY long day. Jeremy was our server. Had to pull the floor manager aside on the way out, just to let them know how good the service was. Jeremys energy was fantastic. Great recommendations on what to share, mains and drinks; so easy!!. And just paid attention to all the details to make us feel taken care of. Food and drinks were excellent, and kitchen was open to tweaks based on preferences. I will come back to this place, and will recommend to others.

Nov 1 2024. lunch. Group of 8. Service was slow. we had resos but we still waited 5-7mins to be seated. Waiter was terrible. We didnt get our drinks in until 1:35pm and food order in until 1:45pm. Food was ok. Definitely over priced. Would not recommend nor go back.

Italian Kitchen Restaurant was so fantastic! From amazing food and service, to being very accommodating to us and our needs. Asma, or waitress, was so kind and helpful! Will be back again!

Tastes amazing! I love the pasta sauce so much i ordered extra bread to dip in the sauce. We ordered a second tiramisu after the first one!

The worst restaurant and food ever! They sit people like sheep outside where you have to wear your coat and blanket on your legs. The steak came on tiny slices with grissle and raw. The lobster very small and raw, large portion of lasagna which was poor quality fatty salty meat , pasta soak in oil all cold! Soup came cold and extremely salty! Spritzer was forgotten, so came with dessert which was substandard! After spending $100 plus per person, this was a total rip off Ordered the salmon with grill vegetables. This came with pickles zucchini which was warmed then served. The vinegar in it was very sour. The manager Shawn said I am sorry about your experience, I will speak to the kitchen I do not recommend this restaurant! Poor quality food, service and atmosphere.

Thanks so much ,Peter!Were so appreciate your service.

THANKS PETER for good service

food is good. My main problem is transparency. We were asked for still or sparkling water upon arrival. Majority of restaurants serve both for free because they make sparkling water on the house which is very easy now a days. We asked for sparkling and for two bottles we were charged for $17 without even knowing it is for a charge.

We had a very pleasant time and Peter was an amazing server, what a Jem. We will be back for sure

I recently dined at Italian Kitchen and tried their set menu, but the experience was disappointing. The lobster and steak were chewy and hard to enjoy, and one of our drink glasses had lipstick on it, which left my partner feeling uncomfortable. The food itself was about a 2/5, we couldn t even finish it. The dessert platter was also heavy and lacked flavour, so we left half of it untouched. While the atmosphere was decent for a Sunday night, the plates came out less than clean. I expected more given the restaurant s reputation and hope they make improvements.

Amazing ambiance, server was very nice and attentive to all allergies my husband had food was very delicious best truffle spaghetti and meatballs that I had eaten in my life ..one of my favourite dish I recommend the place We will come back again

Italy is not written in vain, but good

Peter was great! We loved his recommendations and friendliness!

My favourite Italian spot in Vancouver. I order different things every time and they don t disappoint.

A really nice place to eat and get together with friends. Our waiter, Peter, was very attentive. Service was great The food was delicious. Food : 5/5

I had a date night Marco was an amazing server! Just made our night even better and the food was amazing

Artem was our server and he was amazing. Everything was timely and well served. We ve come twice now for our anniversary and we can t wait to come back !

Beautiful atmosphere. Definitely wanna sit in the courtyard next time! Looks so magical. Adam is professional and knowledge, so is everyone I had encountered with. Only had time for a drink. Hugo spritzer is delicious! Can t wait to try some food next time! Thank you so much!

My experience at Italian Kitchen on Burrard is best described as, eventful. As I walked through the glass door of this Italian restaurant, I knew immediately that it was not just another mid tier spot with lovely table lamps and a healthy amount of fake grapevines. As I bit into my oil and vinegar soaked focaccia, I had no idea that the evening would prove to be so strong in service and atmosphere, yet unfortunately, lacking in some areas when it came to the cuisine. The service at Italian Kitchen is grand. Adam was polite and professional when he informed me that I should place my bag on top of the complimentary stools placed around the table. Did I feel like he was telling me to do so because my bag would get the floor dirty instead of the other way around? Yes. But I quickly brushed this thought away as he smiled politely and motioned to the stool, which is a testament to how calming and unsnobbish his demeanor was. Adam passed the evening quietly bringing us drinks, answering the questions we had, and not hovering. It was pleasant. We might have preferred not to wait as long for the bill, but it was a busy evening. We were happy to wait. And a lovely wait it was as we basked in the dim orange light of our table lamp and watched the citizens of Vancouver walk, scamper, and sometimes crawl by the windows of the establishment, all the while enjoying the soft music being played from the bar, and the quiet hum of conversation from the tables around us. The food certainly satisfied at Italian Kitchen, and no one could fault the quality of the ingredients; however, a degree of heavier seasoning, perhaps one more pinch of salt from the saucier, may have led to a bit more merry making on our part. From the Aperitivo hour menu we ordered the spinach arancini, the steamed mussels & clams, and the wagyu beef carpaccio, and as I said before, the execution in the cooking and the quality of the ingredients was certainly superb, but the level of accompanying herbs and salt left something to be desired. The arancini was well fried, but a bit bland, the brine of the steamed mussels & clams had a pleasant amount of white wine in it, but lacked a real taste of the sea, a real saltiness. But what they lacked in oceanic saltiness, they made up for in oceanic authenticity, for the climax of the meal was my biting down on a pebble that one mollusk had decided to hold onto. A real bite of the ocean floor if you will, though one perhaps too literal when dining at an Italian restaurant. Last, but not least, the wagyu carpaccio was wholesome and hardy, with the sweetness of caramelized onions complimenting it. As I left the establishment to friendly farewells from the staff, feeling my molars for chips or gouges, I knew that I would someday return to Italian Kitchen on Burrard for another eventful evening.

**Italian Kitchen - A Perfect Birthday Celebration** I recently celebrated my birthday at Italian Kitchen, and it was nothing short of amazing. The food was delicious, with each dish beautifully crafted and full of flavor. But what truly made the evening special was our server, Adam. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, adding thoughtful touches that made the celebration unforgettable. If youre looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, Italian Kitchen is the place to be. Highly recommended! Parking: Got lucky with parking

Awesome

It was our first time trying Italian Kitchen last evening. We got the $130 steak & lobster dinner for two, used two vouchers for four people, and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience! The vouchers sold out just a few hours after I purchased mine, so Im glad I didnt hesitate. With this buy up menu, there is an 18% auto gratuity and an option to give additional tip which you pay in person. We sat at the outdoor patio which had heater and adequate covering to shield from rain and wind, so the colder weather was no problem. It got a little too hot at some point, but they were happy to accommodate and adjust heating for us. Heating options are at high, low, and off. Service was attentive and on point -- with special thanks to Adam and Kathy who were both very friendly and warm. We were provided with clean plates, bowls and tongs in accordance to the dishes presented. Each dish tasted fresh and made with care. The portion size overall was perfect! Even those with a big appetite at our table were stuffed half way through the 11-course menu. Pacing of the dishes was just right, too. Took a picture of each dish, though my collage app could not fit the drink. It was floral and tasty, and you can choose between an alcoholic and non-alcoholic version. For reference, these were everything we enjoyed: House Made Focaccia, Ibisco Flower Spritz, Arancino alla Parmigiana, Burrata & Beets Salad, Tuscan Soup, Signature 100 Layer Lasagna, 10oz Prime Striploin, 1lb Atlantic Lobster, Rigatoni Zucca e Radicchio, Limoncello Crème Brûlée, and Rocher Thank you for such a pleasant experience! Would love to visit again. :) Parking: Paid parking is right beside the restaurant. It was $6 for one hour or $8/day when we paid for ours, so we went with the full day.

Jeremy was our server and he ENHANCED our experience! He was fun and playful and the service he provided was amazing. When I come back, I will be requesting to be seated in Jeremys section. Thank you IK and Jeremy!

Asma was a friendly and provided great service. Thank you!

To start with the food was EXCELLENT! Our server, Adam, was amazing as well. He was efficient, charming and professional. We had several courses and each was delivered to our table perfectly timed. The ambiance is elegant, yet casually comfortable. It has that beautifully creative decor that only the Glowbal Group can deliver. We use to frequent all the Glowbal eating establishments; however, the intrusive noise level has always been a major issue. PLEASED TO SAY THAT THE ITALIAN KITCHEN HAD ONLY A VIBRANT HUM OF VOICES FROM THE PEOPLE DINING LAST EVENING. THANK YOU TO THE MANAGEMENT AT THE ITALIAN KITCHEN!!! THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO LOUD MUSIC LAST EVENING. I heard guests at neighbouring tables also commenting on how relieved they were that there was no invasive music intruding on their conversations. I would give our experience a A++ We had stopped going to many of the Glowbal restaurants when the reception desk on Georgia Street told us that the noise was part of Glowbal s platform .

Came here with a buy up and the overall experience was great! The place and decor look amazing, Ive never been here to eat so it was an awesome first experience. We had lobster and steak with pasta and assorted dishes (buy up deal). Our waiter was very friendly, food came out quite fast and we were stuffed. Food was quite tasty, my partner enjoyed the lobster as it was so soft and buttery. I enjoyed the prime striploin, it was medium rare with a red wine jus. The tuscan soup was also a pretty tasty dish. Dessert was so good, a limoncello creme brulee. Just the right amount of sweetness. I came here with my partner and we would definitely come back here again.

Had an amazing evening! Our server Michael was the best! He made the experience perfect!

We went for lunch on my birthday and it turned more than perfect. Impeccable service by Peter, he made excellent suggestions and they all turned out absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend trying their butternut squash pasta and mango coconut cheese cake.

Great food and service.

Spectacular as always Cacio e Pepe tableside did not disappoint Beautiful service from Artem and his wine recommendation was on point. Food : 5/5

Our dinner was amazing, as was our server, Adam, loved sitting at the front of the restaurant by the windows, Food and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend

For a milestone birthday celebration with friends and we were so looking forward to the Caccio Pepe prepared table side in the parmesan wheel. After all, $55 for a bowl of .50 cent pasta should be exceptional. Unfortunately, it was anything but. I like my pasta el dente but this was undercooked: it was a chewy and unpleasant bite. We had an Italiano in our group who agreed it was definitely under done. The beautiful shaved truffles on top had no flavour whatsoever, and there was no black pepper to speak of in a black pepper pasta dish - very disappointing. The others at our table ordered the pasta shareable platter, which was OK but the squid ink pasta was also too el dente and the gnocchi was quite dense. We started with two orders of frito misto which was good and appropriately priced. I m giving three stars because the service was very good and the manager was very apologetic. He took our Cacio E Pepe off the bill and comped another basic pasta dish - it was an ok dish. Because this was a birthday celebration, they brought a Complementary shareable dessert tray of Zeppoli with cream glaze and tiramisu. I must say the zeppoli were amazing and in my opinion, the best bite I had all night. We were very much looking forward to going to this restaurant as we have been to other Glowbal group restaurants and have always been very satisfied. Sadly, this restaurant just did not meet the Glowbal standards in our estimation and it s very unlikely we will return.

What an amazing experience at the IK!!! We had an incredible server - Jeremy who truly took care of our needs. He was incredible that we chose to come back the next night after the grey cup for yet again another excellent food and service experience!!! The food was great - linguine Caico e Pepe with the antipasto shareable dish was my personal favourite. Everything you order is amazing and truly Jeremy was outstanding. Thank you IK we will come back to dine again!! So worth every penny.

Thank you Adam for your friendly service, we enjoyed our evening :)

We came to Italian Kitchen for the first time for our 8th anniversary. Artem was our server and he was amazing! Explained all the dishes we asked about and went over the specials in detail twice which my husband ordered. Very friendly and we talked to him more throughout dinner and after. Lobster risotto, so good and buttery I wish I got it too! I tried the black squid ink seafood linguini and it was good! Had to say I tried it even though I m not the biggest seafood fan, prawns were huge and tasty. We are definitely wanting to go back. Parking: Parking lot was right next door Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, very accessible

The food was absolutely fantastic! The steak was cooked to perfection, and the pasta had just the right seasoning. However, the soup cooled down too quickly since we were seated outside, and the bread arrived cold and only after the soup and salad were already on the table. Service was great except a little bit of a hiccup. Ordered Earl Grey Tea, hot water came without tea bag, had to ask thrice for it but had to replace the hot water because by now it is cold. The pacing from the kitchen felt a bit rushed, with dishes coming out before we had finished the previous ones, which was challenging with a small table. Despite these hiccups, the evening was thoroughly enjoyable overall.

Food was amazing, ambience was great, and Adam offered awesome service!

Asma was absolutely amazing! She gave great recommendations and provided exceptional service. Would highly recommend!!

It was really good. Some people told me it wasn t worth the price but they don t know what they re talking about. It s good Italian food and inside is really cozy too.

I loved my experience at Italian Kitchen! The food was delicious, with authentic and well-balanced flavors. Special mention for the waitress (Asma) who took care of us: she was simply exceptional! Attentive, smiling and professional, she made our evening even more pleasant. I highly recommend this place for a memorable dinner in Vancouver!

I had the best pasta in my life at this restaurant, lobster pasta made right at our table in a parmesan cheese wheel. OMG, I am back in Vancouver this weekend and have made a reservation to have it again. Our server was Kathy or Katey, I feel bad I forgot her name but she was one of the best servers we have ever had. We have requested her again so hopefully they can put 2 and 2 together and book her for us. Amazing place, great everything, highly recommend it.

We tried their buy-up promo for my husbands birthday, and it was worth it. The meal started with house-made focaccia served with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip. While I m not a fan of the dip, my husband loved it. For drinks, we had the Ibisco Flower Spritz, which was good but quite small (around 4 oz I think), so we ended up ordering extra drinks. The arancino and the soup were outstanding, though I wasn t too fond of the burrata and beets salad. That said, we still managed to finish it. The entrée platter was generous, featuring two pasta dishes and lobster, both of which were fantastic. However, the steak was a bit gummy. After mentioning it to the waiter, they kindly remade it, and it was much better the second time. The desserts were the highlight for me, both the crème brûlée and the rocher were incredible. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we ll definitely be coming back!

Trina, the lady who served us is excellent & one of the reasons we have to come back in the future ! Of course, food is another important part

Peter was excellent and provided exceptional service. Food was delicious. We will be returning

Our server, Peter, is excellent, very attentive and friendly, he is very polite and helpful with our orders. Took the extra time to take many group pictures for us. Amazing service!

Great food. Peter was our server. Great customer service.

Peter was our exceptional server this afternoon. He made the whole experience worth It. We traveled from the Okanagan to try the Italian Kitchen and we are sold on the atmosphere, food and service.

Perfect place for date night, love their spaghetti and meatballs #contestentry

This was a family visit. Our food and service by Adam was perfect. He was very attentive and friendly. Top marks to him

Asma was fantastic! Lovely person and she made great recommendations.

We ordered three appetizers and two mains with the intention of sharing. Knowing we would need ample space, we requested a larger table, as our initial seating was uncomfortably close to the washroom hallway. Unfortunately, the waitress declined our request outright without consulting the manager or giving it any consideration. As a result, our table became overcrowded, making it difficult to reach and properly enjoy our meal. This lack of accommodation impacted our dining experience significantly. Food was pricy but reasonable.

Food, service & staff was amazing. Sunday promo 100 Layer Lasagna / 3 courses Beef Carparccio and mussels & clams were very good & fresh too. Also, Tiramisu was nice and light. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Definitely will eat here again. Food

Cory was wonderful. I was able to have gluten free pasta & panna cotta.

Chris W was a fantastic server

What a lovely time we had in the heart of Vancouver! The staff at this restaurant is extremely detail oriented and knowledgeable about the food and wine they are offering. The food is very tasty, pasta was served al Dante. We started with a salad served on a big plate proceeded with our main and dessert while sipping a very good Italian red wine. The timing was excellent! Our wine had a perfect temperature and it was well paired with our food thanks to our server who helped us make the selection. The restaurant s wine list is fantastic!

Corey was awesome. Personal in his approach yet highly professional and matched the needs of our evening by taking me aside and asking questions. This is one of the best experiences Ive had in Vancouver in some time.

Corey was incredible. He was personable, engaging and made us feel really special. Highly recommend Corey for your next visit to the Italian Kitchen & the food was amazing

Amazing expérience and food . Corey was really nice and advice us vers well!

Excellent food and great service by Corey. The place was full on a tuesday night. We had a good time

Artem was awesome. So professional! Only complaint tableside cacio e Pepe was cold and lacked pepper. Food : 4/5

Wonderful date night at Italian kitchen. Asma was very friendly and knowledge. Delicious food and wine. Thank you.

Asma is amazing!!! Perfect service, perfect conversation and laughs with her. I came here for my birthday and she made the experience so so so perfect. 10/10

Excellent food and ambience. Our server Asma was really welcoming and had amazing service etiquette. Loved the place, would highly recommend it!

Our server Asma was just amazing!! made my friends bday dinner even more memorable and special!

We came with our coworkers for a cocktail party. Asma and Kathy went above and beyond to make our experience very special. Real attention for details. Very appreciated we Will defenitely be back soon

Great food and amazing service, Corey and Olivia went above and beyond for us and I definitely will be back.

Excellent dining experience, courses were delicious and the tiramisu is a star. Corey, our server, took good care of our table

Friendly atmosphere and great food

Awesome bartenders, Daniel and Pablo!!

Thank you Daniel and Pablo for the amazing service and delicious food! Everything had such wonderful flavours and was very fresh. We sat at the bar and had great service. The bar staff was extremely knowledgeable with the menu. Will definitely be coming back!

Everything about this place was amazing. The food, the atmosphere, and most especially the service. Our waiter Artem was so attentive and took such great care of us. Would definitely come back and highly recommend for anyone in the area to check it out.

Jeremy was absolutely excellent! He was kind, attentive, informative and really made our evening! The food and wine was also incredible! Thank you, Jeremy!

Jeremy made the evening for us.

Fabulous halibut dish, super wine and. wonderful service - Jeremy was a delight! Many thanks! Don t hesitate to come here. Happy New Zealand diner!

The seafood linguine was wonderful! Jeremy did a great job recommending the menu - friendly, funny and professional!

Jeremy was extremely hospitable and was very well versed on the contents of the menu and daily specials. Thank you!

Had an amazing experience ! The food was delicious, and what made it extra special was the incredible service from Asma and Tara. They were so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend dining here. Its great food and fantastic service!

Asma was a fantastic sever. She was so lovely and knowledgeable about the menu. Our food was outstanding! We had the beef carpaccio, mussels and pasta platter for two. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

great great great

Great restaurant and great service from Cory!! Inhouse pasta. Amazing dessert too.

The food was great, the cocktails even better, but the service was fantastic! Jeremy was the most attentive server I ve ever had! He made our dining experience exquisite.

Our server Asma was OUTSTANDING! My wife and I had an amazing experience at IK and it is mostly thanks to our server Asma, as well as the exceptional kitchen staff. Chefs, sous chefs, and everyone else. Asma made sure we had everything we needed before we even asked and she made sure we felt very comfortable and welcome. Really an impressive waitress! The food was incredible and it was exactly what we needed after a long day in the town! The portion size was perfect and the flavor profile was so diverse with every dish. You can tell by the quality of the food that the chef cares deeply about this food, which felt more like an art piece to be savored than a meal to be eaten.

My husband and I came to visit from San Diego and we were looking for a place to have some good food and decided to come to Italian kitchen and let me tell you I m so glad we did! From the moment we sat down we were greeted by our amazing server Asma! She went above and beyond making sure we didn t just come to eat food, but have an amazing dining experience. I can tell the chefs and sou chefs enjoy what they do. From the recommendations to the descriptions Asma nailed it all! Making sure she was attentive to our table and engaging with her customers making sure we had a night to remember! Thank you so much to Asma and the IK crew! We will definitely be recommending where ever we go! Parking: Parking garage

My friend and I had a great dinner again at Italian Kitchen. What made it different and even more special than previous times was our waitress Asma. She was delightful, positive, attentive, very professional with a warm smile. Thank you for the great service Asma!

i had corey as my server and he was absolutely amazing, awesome service with a good vibe and had great delivery of information and general conversation. pls let corey win

The food, wine, ambience and service were amazing Vegetarian options: The eggplant parmigiana was amazing Food : 5/5 |

Listen - Im not even here to leave a review about the food. Its pretty self explanatory via the reviews, the place is amaze-balls. What I AM here for is to leave a review of our server, Jeremy. Humor? Check. Friendly? Check. Informative? Check. All I ask from restaurants is to NOT let me ask you for more water. Let me tell you - Jeremy did NOT let my water cup be empty. Attentiveness? Check. Had a great time Italian Kitchen, will be back for more!

We showed up on Friday night with no reservations. The super understanding person at the door was able to squeeze us onto the patio. The best serving staff brought us the best Italian food we have ever eaten. After amazing entrees we were gently guided to perfect dessert options. Outstanding in every sense of the word. Thanks Italian Kitchen.

Corey and Asma were awesome and our meal was delicious!

Not only was the food fresh and delicious, Corey and Asma were both super attentive and great with taking care of us!! Corey taking the time to fix the heater that was being finicky and Asma giving my daughter and I a blanket for extra warmth. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants to dine in Vancouver!

The most amazing experience I ve ever had!! I would go back %200!!

Marco was great! Incredible service. I would definitely go back

Went for my daughter s birthday and our server, Jeremy was incredible. He took such good care of us the entire night, really appreciated having him as our server.

This place is a must! Delicious food, Marco was amazing, gave us great recommendations. Even though we were sitting on the outside our food was warm until we finished.

Corey and Asma provide excellent service, being attentive and making sure our dining experience is enjoyable.

We were a party of eight. We all had a wonderful time. The service by Corey was excellent and the patio had a nice atmosphere. My beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly. My wife s pasta was fine. Her carpaccio was very good. We all would all absolutely go back.

Sara really made our Wednesday night out. Her wine pairings were on point with the outstanding food. We will be back. Thanks Sara!

Chris W was great as were the other two who helped us. Far and away Chris made our meal better through his gentle way. Thanks Chris.

it is good italian resturant but not the perfect one!just in terms of foods,,taste can be better in compare tp price and otherthings,,,we tried truffle spagetti & meatball for that the pasta was really good but the meat honestly not for me!and we tried table side linguine but we switch the lobester with chicken which served seprately and taste was totally normal and the pasta again in compare to price and that chees plate was ordinary not creamy and tasty that much in compare to the other one,,,we also ordered garlic bread as starter again i expected more from this classy luxtury resturant!overall its good nice place for date specially but foods i think is normal!

We were there last week, we came from Paris, the food was great and Asma who took care of us perfectly made our evening even better, she is very professional and was able to advise us in French. I highly recommend this restaurant and thank you again Asma we will come back before returning to Paris :)

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Italian Kitchen! The highlight of our visit was definitely the exceptional service from Jeremy, our server. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was fantastic we especially loved the spaghetti and meatballs, which were delicious and full of flavor. What really stood out to us, though, was how kind Jeremy was to our daughter. He made her feel special by engaging with her and making sure she was happy throughout the meal and brought out desert with a candle for her birthday. Overall, the service and food were top-notch, and we ll definitely be coming back. Thanks to Jeremy and the Italian Kitchen team for making our night memorable!

Marco, was excellent. Overall the food and atmosphere was good. Marco was so genuine and natural. Nothing scripted, put his own professional way to an all round good service.

Had a lovely dinner! Christina was our server and she was so friendly and personable. She suggested the carpaccio and it was delicious and we paired it with the Chianti Classico. Would definitely recommend and ask for Chris again!

First time at Italian kitchen and not the last! What an amazing experience. Chris Y provided such a fun and memorable experience. Can t wait to visit again.

I visited without a reservation on a Saturday evening. Use of bar seating Ordered Caesar salad, signature pasta, and squid pasta. I wanted to drink wine, but since I was abstaining from drinking, I didnt order it, but I ordered a small dish. They also provided service. The Tolga server was really friendly and accommodating :) I sat at the bar and ate while watching the cooking, and this restaurants pasta was great, and the appetizer menu such as jamon and grilled eggplant looked delicious!! Pasta noodles are fresh pasta. Squid pasta noodles are made with kalguksu noodles. A reminiscent aspect. The seafood is fresh and delicious. Because it is Italian-style pasta, it may be somewhat unfamiliar to Asians. Next time I will come to drink wine :)

Great dining experience at Italian Kitchen. Quality, large portions that left some to take home. The dinner was topped by fantastic service by Chris W. Great hospitality from start to finish with him. Vegetarian options: While the menu is not vegetarian rich, just tell the staff you are vegetarian and theyll offer substitutions as well as an item or two not on the menu.

Kathy is amazing and I will so be back because of her. Great smile, great service and beautiful person!! First time in the restaurant and I surely will be back!

Love this place! Great food and good vibes. Kathy was very polite and helped us with everything. Will definitely come back!

Kathy So much knowledge in what she knows Great service so cant wait to met Kathy again Food : 5/5

Corey was a very congenial and attentive server who went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable lunch!!!

Our waiter Corey was super welcoming and nice. He always came back to refill our water and offered excelllent service.

Corey was absolutely fantastic and made my birthday meal so enjoyable. Great explanation on the food and wine list. Thanks Corey!

We had a work due at Italian Kitchen recently in the back area and it was so lovely. We had to change the date around a few times and the party planner Sarah was more than accommodating and so fun to work with, which is rare to find people passionate about their jobs these days. The pasta platters were delicious, the wine pairings on point and friendly and attentive staff. Great spot to host a party!

The food was excellent specially the pasta with burrata and pistachio, the atmosphere is one of a kind!! We had exceptional service from Asma!

Always enjoy our Time At Italian Kitchen.

I recently dined at Italian Kitchen and had the pleasure of being served by Asma. She was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Her knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot-on, and she ensured that every detail was taken care of throughout our meal. The service was prompt and professional, and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I highly recommend asking for Asma if you re dining at Italian Kitchen for an exceptional experience!

I had an amazing experience at Italian Kitchen! I went there for a date, and everything was perfect. Asma took great care of us she was friendly, helpful, and gave excellent recommendations for dinner. Both my partner and I had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend!

Service by Jeremy was OUTSTANDING, food fantastic, totally will come back! The patio is warm, seats are soft. Thank you. Food : 5/5

We went for my birthday and had the worst experience ever. Everything was good until the main dish came out. The spaghetti was undercooked like it wasnt al dente. It was straight undercooked. The worst of all, we asked the waiter to recommend us 2 glasses of wine as we werent wine drinkers but wanted to try since it was my birthday. He brings us 2 glasses of wine, which costs $150 in total and doesnt tell us beforehand. I figured it was around $15 per glass like other items on the wine menu. The food was horrible, and the waiter screwed us. Never going back

Jeremy made our experience wonderful. From adding our additional pasta to our platter to bringing an extra treats to our kids. The food was awesome but my kids were enjoying the great service.

Kathy, Vins and Eddie served us and they were amazing! Great service, great drinks and amazing food. I had the Braised Beef cheeks and they were sooo good. Thank you!!

Food was delicious. Kathy, Eddie, and Vins are awesome. Great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place and ask for Eddie s cappuccino, he makes the best cappuccinos in town! Food

Best experience ever !!! Our servers Kathy and vins were so nice, the brunch was delicious, and e dessert as well. Eddie the bartender gave us some amazing shots. They treat us so good I ll definitely come back !

Worest experience ever at Vancouver restaurants. It was a super rainy Saturday, we decided to try this restaurant. Drove all the way to downtown and expected to get some very nice food. As soon as we walked in, the receptionist looks mean and no smile on her face. We were seated at a very tight table, even though 50% of the other tables in the restaurants were empty. We asked if we could be switched to a bigger table, the receptionist coldly replied, They are all reserved. (Sure, people LOVE to reserve tables at 2:15pm). Fine, whatever. Then we sat there for more than 5 minutes, no server came to say hi or asked if we needed anything. Every one just walked by without a smile. We have been to Glowbal, Black+Blue, Coast, Five Sails and Rileys a few times all under the Glowbal Groups, we had never ever been treated like this. It felt like we were begging for their services. We were very disappointed by how rude they were and decided to leave. As we were walking out, not one person working in the restaurant even cared about it or asked us what was wrong. They just watched us left without a smile or any facial expressions. Luckily, there were so many other options around that area. We will never go back to this restaurant again.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The best part was our server, Jeremy, who was exceptional. He looked after every need and ensured that the evening was memorable. I look forward to going back

Loved everything food was delicious, drinks were great our server was great but first impression was not great when I entered to check in. I had a reservation I understand I was late but front of house member definitely doesn t understand customer service did not smile, didn t try to be polite in making alternative arrangements very standoffish. Consider having different staff in the front. I went to celebrate my birthday definitely ruined the mood for the night.

First time here, we had the best experience! Will definitely be back, our server Artem was amazing!

Food was great! Service was excellent. Kudos to Jeremy, he was very accommodating and friendly!

First time and last time. Service was the only that was great. Food was awful as my wifes sick from the salmon. Would not recommend to anyone. Over priced garbage.

I recently had a birthday dinner with friends at Italian Kitchen, and our waiter, Jeremy, was fantastic. He greeted us warmly and helped us choose drinks and food from the menu. Jeremy was friendly and checked in on us just the right amount, making sure we had everything we needed. His great service really made our celebration special, and I d recommend him to anyone dining there!

As a passionate food enthusiast and a firm believer in the magic of Italian cuisine, I recently visited Italian Kitchen in Vancouver, and it was an experience worth sharing. One of the highlights of my visit was the Happy Hour, available every day from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The menu features a fantastic selection of at least seven spritz cocktails, which adds a fun and refreshing touch to the experience. I particularly enjoyed the Aperol Spritz and the Limoncello Spritz, both of which were expertly crafted. The level of service at Italian Kitchen was exceptional, thanks in large part to Camilla, our server. With her Italian heritage and passion for the cuisine, she provided a service that felt both personal and professional. Camilla took the time to explain each dish in detail, sharing insights into the preparation techniques and cooking methods that reflect the true essence of Italian cooking. She described the process of making the handmade pasta, emphasizing the importance of high-quality flour and the art of kneading the dough to achieve the perfect texture. She also elaborated on how the wood-fired pizzas are baked, resulting in a delightful crispiness that enhances the flavors of the fresh ingredients. Camilla s enthusiasm for the dishes made our dining experience feel like a journey through Italy. Her knowledge and storytelling transformed our meal into a culinary adventure, where each bite was an invitation to explore the rich traditions of Italian cuisine. During our visit, we indulged in several standout dishes. The Pasta Carbonara was a creamy delight, perfectly balanced with guanciale and pecorino cheese. The Wagyu Carpaccio was elegantly presented, showcasing the rich flavors and tender texture of the beef. We also tried the Fried Calamari, which was crispy and served with garlic aioli that complemented the dish beautifully. The Chicken Milanese was another highlight, featuring a perfectly fried crust and served with grilled vegetables lo. To top off our meal, we savored one of the best Tiramisu desserts weve ever tried, with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and luscious mascarpone. In conclusion, my visit to Italian Kitchen was a culinary delight. With a robust menu, enticing happy hour offerings, and exceptional service, it is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience in Vancouver. **A Note on Our Return Visit We loved the food so much that we returned to the restaurant the very next day. Once again, the experience was equally special, featuring intuitive service that was incredibly pleasant and filled with smiles and good vibes. This time, Chris attended to us with utmost professionalism, explaining each dish on the menu with care. She was attentive to every small detail at our table, demonstrating the kind of service we ve only seen in exceptional restaurants like this one.

Our server Tara was super amazing, and attentive!

It was an amazing experience! Food was top notch as well as services. Must try !

Absolutely the best dinner I ve had in a while , Guran was amazing, so nice, so funny a real 10 star experience

Lovely atmosphere, but food was terrible for the most part. The Caprese salad was bland. The salmon was even more bland. I was actually quite shocked. It was almost like an airline meal (in economy). The chocolate raspberry torte was tasty. Thank goodness for that.

This is one of my most favourite restaurants. The staff are so genuinely friendly - Jeremy, our server particularly. As Australian tourists we had a wonderful time. The food is great & the attention to detail second to none. We actually came here twice!!! Thankyou

I was celebrating my anniversary in the restaurant and I could not have made a worse decision than choosing this restaurant. The food was ok but the service was so terrible that I didn t even feel like eating my meal. They gave us a complimentary dessert which looked like donuts covered in sugar with no candle nothing! For a restaurant of this status I would expect better. They were nicer to other white people there and seemed warm while serving a slice of cake with a candle to celebrate their day. I am not going back there and wouldn t recommend the place to anyone who wants to have a nice time.
