This is a gem! We have a first class Italian restaurant in West Kelowna. We were just in Los Angeles at a highly rated Italian restaurant in Hermosa Beach. Vino surpassed them by a wide margin. Great prices, great value, food exceptional, very knowledgeable staff and a beautiful setting. Simply amazing.
This is a great little restaurant- best Italian food we've had in Kelowna. The mushroom appetizer is to die for, and everything else we had was also wonderful - we will definitely be back!
We visited this restaurant for the first time and were blown away! I never write restaurant reviews but felt compelled to do one this time. No exaggeration, best food I’ve had in Kelowna, fantastic service and loved the atmosphere! I cannot wait to go back.
We were invited to dinner with friends who brought us to the restaurant. We were gracefully greeted by the owner's wife and immediately brought to our reserved table. Started with a drink and bruschetta served with an ample amount of tomatoes. The chef, the owner's husband, stopped by to welcome us and have a chat about Italy. Ordered dinner which came quite quickly. It was delicious. Shared tiramisu for dessert which was on the creamy side. Yummy. I highly recommend this place.
We had the most delicious meal and wonderful service tonight. Our server was so warm and welcoming, the chef and his wife both came out to say hello. Our highlight was the pasta dishes and burrata. I have NEVER had rose pasta sauce that tasted so amazing. Highly recommend!
Spectacular food! So authentic, you think you’re in Italy! Service was outstanding, especially the owner. She made sure everything was perfect. Will recommend to a lot of people probably the best Italian food in Okanogan period!!!
Our second visit to Vino Italian Restaurant was overshadowed by a simple yet significant mistake — a wrong order. My wife ordered chicken marsala, but chicken Milanese was brought out instead. Despite two others at our table confirming my wife ordered chicken marsala, the server hesitated to correct the mistake, insisting that my wife had ordered the Milanese and even suggested she keep it because the marsala would take 20 minutes to prepare. When my wife politely insisted on what she had ordered, the server returned minutes later with a troubling response: the chef would prepare the marsala, but they wouldn’t comp the Milanese. This led to an awkward silence at our table. I asked to speak with the chef, but the server seemed terrified at the thought, hinting at a volatile personality in the kitchen. Eventually, the hostess/owner brought out the correct dish, explaining that they had an order already in progress. The server subsequently commented to us, “They’re discussing it in the kitchen” suggesting there was a debate about whether to charge us for their error. When the bill came, there was no apology — just the Milanese in a to-go box and a charge for it on our bill. I questioned whether the kitchen discussion had led to any resolution, only to have the server take the box away without explanation. Shortly after, the hostess/owner returned, trying to guilt trip my wife, claiming the server would now pay for the meal and insisting it was my wife's fault because "my staff are trained to repeat the order back" (she did not and two people at our table confirmed this). This attempt to gaslight my wife was disappointing and unprofessional. It’s astonishing how such a minor error was handled so poorly. We were made to feel at fault for a mistake we didn’t make. I've never experienced such short-sighted and narrow-minded business owners before. This was truly a first. We have told quite a few people about how much we enjoyed our first experience at Vino Italian Restaurant in West Kelowna. You can bet we're going to tell 10x as many about this experience, starting with posting this review in as many places as I can.
This is a small and authentic Italian Resturant and amazing food. The husband and wife owners are very nice and the food has been stunning each time I've gone. The wine selection is good with decent Italian and local selections. The inside space is small and intimate so best to book a reservation but it has a fairly large patio for summer months. My last meal there was the Chicken Milanese and I haven't stopped thinking about it.
Best Italian in Kelowna! Our favourite spot :)
Absolutely amazing. Loved the food, atmosphere and service. We will definitely be back again. Thank you for such a great dinner.
What a treat! Amazing food with great service. It is a small restaurant with great atmosphere, the food is very tasteful and delicious.
Great food and great service
Great tasting food!
Most amazing night with Amber and Chantal. Make sure you put this restaurant on your list for amazing food and service !!
Delicious. Not cheap but fair value for money ratio.
August 18 2024 We finally got to experience this little Italian restaurant after trying to get reservations multiple times The reviews were excellent and we are foodies The service was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was nice We ordered the chicken Marsala and veal The chicken was extremely sweet and the veal was served in a puddle of butter that tasted like an over powered garlic margarine The vegetables were fresh so that was good We were disappointed for the price I hope the quality for the price improves
We very much enjoyed our dinner at Vino! Beautiful atmosphere with Excellent food and Excellent service. Will certainly be back for more wonderful Italian food.
Excellent food, big portions, good prices.
Food was okay but very expensive. Mine was not a creamy sauce but more like a complete butter sauce. New waitress came over to pick up one item at a time on our table and interrupted us from having conversation the whole night. When my pasta came I asked if I could get some cheese on it as it was not quite salty enough and they brought a small bowl of which I used 1 teaspoon. Then the bill came and I was charged over my $30 for a pasta dish another $3.50. When I inquired about it the owner lady came over and told me in a snarky way well when you ask for cheese on your burger you pay extra . I am Italian and have never paid extra to have parmigiana cheese on my pasta. We were with another couple and her attitude shocked all of us. We will never return as I will give my hard earned money to someone that speaks kindly to the customers and deserves it.
We were a part of 4 and had dinner on their patio. Everything about the meal was excellent. My wife and I had our own selections while our friends had the shareable option. We all enjoyed our meal and Chantal, our server, was really on her game.
Food was amazing!!! Wonderful service
All very good!! Chicken Milanese, pasta, wine, veal escalope I love it! I commend it to you!
Everything was amazing from the bread, to the main dish, to dessert, to the service. We will absolutely be back!
Amazing setting for both indoor and outdoor dining, with gorgeous views on the patio. The food and service were both exceptional and authentic. Highly recommend sharing plates to sample the various pastas as no two are alike. Looking forward to being back!
We arrived unsure of what to expect, though I can assure, you re missing out if you haven t been here.
Great food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend trying this restaurant if you re in West Kelowna.
Another wonderful dining experience at this fantastic restaurant. Food was really tasty and service excellent! We will be back soon!
Wonderful meal, great service, nice selection of Italian wine; the food was so good my husband said chefs choice for dessert. He got tiramisu. I had (decaf) affogato - the best I have ever tasted.
Underseasoned and boring food as well as a cafeteria closet seating.. How come all the good reviews are from your friends? Ooooh I know.... Food : 2/5
Outstanding Italian food especially the pasta s! Wine bar-trattoria vibes service was excellent will highly recommend We will be back Food
Great traditional Italian and an outstanding drink selection!
Really slow service the chef doesn t have the recipe for customer service disappointing
Excellent Italian food & service A much needed Italian restaurant in West Kelowna.., the food was amazing and authentic we will definitely be back! Food
A new West Kelowna Restaurant. We visited as a family of 4. We had a great time. We really enjoyed the the Melanzan which an eggplant fries. I told my kids there were fries and the really enjoyed it. My wife and I loved the spaghetti funghi. I will definitely recommend Vino Italian. We will be back.
Excellent Italian food. My wife and I were blown away. The linguini blu is so good!! as well as their linguini with pesto cream sauce. Server was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is beautiful, sitting in the middle of a vineyard on a beautiful patio. The only bad review on this profile is likely from a competitor restaurant worried that there is a new guy better than them out there. Trust all the 5 star reviews and try this place out.
The New Gem in West Kelowna. The food, wine, cocktails, atmosphere and service was all outstanding!! A beautiful patio with great views and friendly staff. If you love Italian food I highly recommend it!!
This is my absolute favorite restaurant on the wine trail.The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. The owners are passionate about their authentic italian food and are dedicated to provide the best quality product. Can t wait to return and wouldn t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in West Kelowna.
Extremely disappointed in the treatment we received by the owner in an empty restaurant. We will not be returning as there are many better options with better customer service Food
Wow! We finally have a good Italian restaurant in Kelowna! Im Italian and a food snob (so Im told) and have never been impressed at an Italian restaurant before but this place did indeed impress me! The food we had was absolutely fantastic! Obviously the chef knows their stuff. The atmosphere and service are also wonderful. We had a great dinner and will be back for more. Bravo! And Centanni!
Fabulous food amd amazing personal service. We ve been here several Times and each time is even better than before. Highly recommend . Food
Great Italian cuisine. Mussels and gnocchi were top notch. The volcanic hills wine was the perfect combination.
Aldo & Amber (our hosts) have just opened Vino Italian at Volcanic Hills Winery - very pleasantly surprised to find such great Italian food and home style service in a comfortable setting in West Kelowna. And the plan is they will be open all winter. We loved it and will definitely be back.
Authentic Italian food. Good selection. Reasonable prices. We will definitely return. We were so excited to enjoy we forgot to take pictures!! Make a reservation please
Staff were friendly.. That was the best of the night!. Dont ask for any substitutions, the chef will not allow it, so this is not your place if you have dietary requirements. My linguini blu dish was bland to the extreme, might as well of been pasta in butter. My wife had the pasta with lobster rose sauce. Again.. tasted like a basic rose sauce, probably no lobster was ever within 100 foot of it! Other dishes were ok but uninspiring and bland. I wonder if some of the other reviewers that espouse traditional Italian fayre have even been in Europe, never mind Italy. I have quite a few times and eaten in various regions down the peninsular, pretty much every place , the flavours were far superior there, and fresher. There were only 3 or 4 other tables but we were still waiting quite considerably for our meals. This was the only winery attached restaurant that we could get at short notice.... now we know why! Saturday night, waited an hour for insipid food......no wonder only 4 tables
Thank you for an amazing dinner last night ! We were there for my birthday with a friend. Service, atmosphere and food were over the top! This is the best Italian food in Kelowna! You will become our regular restaurant! Love the new decor!
Stopped in to try on our way home. Nice experience, food was great, server and owner very nice. We will be back Parking: Lots of free parking
Delicious! Best Italian meal I ve had in a long time! The mussels were amazing and the focaccia was to die for! Love the chicken Parmesan and all three desserts are wonderful. Great service and just fantastic all around!
Over priced will not be backed
Quaint little restaurant serving delicious Italian food. We enjoyed our meal, had great service and a lovely night
Finally had a chance to stop in. What a wonderful addition to have in this community. The meal was traditional Italian food and we loved every dish that came out. It felt like I was eating at my spouses Nonnas house. I cant wait to go back. The staff were awesome as well.
My wife and I have eaten here 3 times it was really good all 3 times . Everything weve tried was great, service was outstanding, very friendly staff, we look forward to our next meal with them !
Fantastic new restaurant in the community! We enjoyed our meal and the overall experience. They offer a decent selection of nice wines. The menu has something for everyone, without being pretentious or overwhelming. The food is delicious! Simple, comforting, familiar dishes to satisfy your appetite. Staff is extremely attentive and friendly. We will keep going back to this cozy spot. Incidentally, I am Italian on both sides and have been to Italy many times, so I MUST know what Im talking about.
We went in after a tasting at Volcanic Hills Winery for a snack and had the truffle fries and gnocchi. The food was absolutely fantastic! Im quite particularly about my gnocchi and it was perfectly done, pillows of yummy flavour with a delicious, fresh sauce. We will definitely be back.
Vino Italian restaurant is by far the best Italian food in West Kelowna and Kelowna. I would recommend to anyone to try out, you wont be disappointed! You have my 5 stars
Starters were great. Amazing pastas. Felt authentic. It s a must try on the wine trail.
Fabulous owners and Food was fantastic
I do not recommend. The owner is scared of our revenues. Called me a liar. Lol
