I've been coming here since they opened in 2003 (or about then?). It's one of our staple family restaurants where we have a semi-permanent table on a few Sundays a month. That said, I've had every item on the menu, countless specials, past-menu items, and seen staff come and go. Overall a solid 4 for great family style environment or a quiet date night. Food is 85% fantastic with an occasional 15% of the time when it's a bit off (chef's off days). Talk to the owners if you ever have a problem and they will be happy to accommodate you. Big family vibe and make sure you get a reservation on the weekends as we often sit and watch many walk-ins get turned away. A few recommendations from the menu; Gamberoni Granada is a lovely light appy of prawns in a nice white wine sauce. The insalata Amici is my top pick for salad with the spinnacio coming in a close second. The prawn and papaya salad is a salad for those who don't like salads. Pastas; carbonara is great 85% of the time, sometimes the balance is off, usually weekdays. The fettuccine Marco Polo is a great tomato based spicy chorizo pasta and the penne Norcina is a lighter favourite with veal. They used to have a fantastic seafood risotto but alas it is no more. Mains: the mains are all fairly good but I tend to stay away due to appetite (and holding out for dessert). Sunday special is a three course prime rib dinner. Agnello Salvatore is my top main choice and the two fish dishes are right up there as well. Desserts: great tiramisu (best I've had anywhere) and gelato/sorbets. The experimental special desserts aren't always the best.

A worthy option in West Vancouver . . . But I was not blown away with the food. I ordered the lunch special, trout and pasta. I grew up catching trout in Saskatchewan and cooking them the same day, so maybe I'm a bit spoiled. Everything was nice, nothing was over the top.

The food is just that good. They have some really special combinations that just make you have a hard time trying to choose your dish. But it's just one of those decisions that if you go wrong, you're right. I had a gorgonzola perfectly-cooked penne with candied pecans and spinach, and I wouldn't ever picture how good it actually is. Lunch time was not crowded, I don't know about dinner, and the service is very good and welcoming. I will for sure go back, and recommend for anyone who asks me.

Spaghettini Pescatore and Linguine Amici

I chose this place for our first Wedding Anniversary and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The fresh bread with the spread was delicious then our Spinachio(pardon the spelling) was a great salad. My husband had the Spaghettini Pescatore which he inhaled he was enjoying it so much and I had the Linguine Amici the waitress had said how much it was her favourite and boy I definitely could see why. Then we finished off with the tiramisu so delicious as well, overall it was a great experience and they made us feel super comfortable and at home. We will definitely be coming back for sure!

Vegetables and veal are VERY salty

Our waiter was great and parking was easy on the street near the restaurant. When I called ahead to inquire if they'd have room on a Friday night, they graciously accommodated us. Unfortunately, a dirty fork was included in one of our place setting-- thankfully the waiter took care of this quickly. We were disappointed with the wine list and the food was way too salty--I'm always a little suspicious of what a chef is trying to cover if he/she is adding THAT much salt. I couldn't even finish half of the veal scallopini (chose the mushroom option) secondary to it being overly salted along with the vegetables accompanyi. The pear walnut salad was good but we couldn't tell if they forgot the dressing or if it was very light-- I'd rather this than the other way around, though. All in all, no need to go back to this establishment.

Italian... The bread with the dip is a taste cleanser. We had most of the items on their menu, it was delightful.

It's on the 14th floor of the hotel and can be closed off if the weather isn't accommodating, which is nice. We went for cocktails because we heard they have amazing craft cocktails, and they do. Let me start with the service because if the service isn't good, it's a wrap for me. No worries though because service was amazing. From the hostess stand to the bartender, top notch. Chris was our expert craft bartender. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was friendly. He kindly explained the menu and the associated cocktails. I wanted a caipirinha which was not on the menu but he made it for me and let me know what was comparable on the menu. My husband ordered the chapter II shots, which were a flight of cocktails from different regions (Bahamas, Spain, Philippines, and Chile) from around the world. I loved my caipirinha (9/10) and my husband enjoyed the flight (10/10). I also had the Tropicalia, which was a rum based drink with cachaca and tropical fruits. I asked Chris to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet, which he gladly accommodated. It was good but I preferred the original caipirinha. I highly recommend Levantine if you're in the downtown Vancouver area.

I would recommend their Mezze selection - everything on there is delicious. The Fried Halloumi (cheese) was also good and unique because I don't see that in many others. As for the entree, must get the whole branzino!! It was the best dish. It was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful. The group also enjoyed the steak. I didn't care for prawn. The prawn was slightly overcooked and tasted bitter to me.

There is definitely at least one back room, but the main dining room is a bright, airy space that has access to a patio where may even be some live music playing. The tables are gorgeous - all live edge, which might create a bit of an issue if you have short arms and are used to stealing bites across the table, but they are absolutely beautiful and a nice nod to the area. The wine list is extensive and a bit overwhelming, but the service is happy, friendly, and very knowledgeable. In fact, I love when servers don't know, admit it, and find the answer for you - it's humble and shows they really care at getting you what you want. We got the orange wine, which is a new favorite of mine. It's like a rose for reds. Rose:White::Orange:Red. More savory, still light, and best chilled. We had the beet hummus app, which is definitely best eaten with your hands. It's light and delicious. We had the miso black cod, a personal favorite, and the lasagna for dinner and while both were good, the accoutrements with the cod were the true standout. Amazing and I could probably eat two of them. As the restaurant operates on a seasonal menu, we had a strawberry rhubarb cobbler for dessert. I know there is Sunday Brunch, and I can't wait to try it. It's not the cheapest, but it's one of the nicer restaurants in Whatcom, and is definitely worth your pennies. Everything about it makes for a truly nice experience, and we'll definitely be back.
