Rigatoni Bolognese Bee Sting
Cecily B.

The service, food, and wine were all top tier. I love that it's on the smaller side, it would be a great date night spot. I also recommend trying the burrata with the focaccia bread .

Bee sting pizza

The bee sting pizza is to DIE for. Love this pizza, crust and drinks! Love the dim lighting, customer service! I enjoy clean and quiet place.

Burrata & Caesar salad
Megan H.

My friend and I went here last night for a girls dinner. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We got the burrata and Caesar salad for starters. The salad could have easily been an entree. Both were presented lovely and were delicious. She got th margherita pizza. The sauce was delicious, the crust super crunchy but still soft. Probably one of the best I've had in awhile. I got the carbonara and it was so perfectly creamy. The bacon was thick little chunks of it. Pricing was decent for what you got. Our waitress had a ton of tables but was overall still quite attentive. I would definitely go back.

We had just finished working in Vancouver and decided that we wanted to eat on this side of the river- at a restaurant new to us. Hubby's YELP app told us that there was an Italian restaurant nearby - Nostra Tavola, so we chose to give it a try. And we were glad that we did. Despite being located in a strip mall, Nostra Tavola has a feeling of elegance once you step inside. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a modern feel. (I happened to be wearing a Roma jacket, what a perfect time for that). We were seated promptly. Our servers were friendly and helpful, especially Collin. I consider myself somewhat of an expert at cooking Bolognese, so I often order it when we are at an Italian restaurant. Their Rigatoni Bolognese was very good, but perhaps not as good as mine :). Hubby ordered the Fettuccine with added marinated shrimp. He said that it was delicious. We also shared an arugula- heavy "Italian Table salad". Lucky we love arugula. For dessert, we had a delicious cheesecake. Thank you, Collin & Maddie! We also ordered an additional dessert for takeout. All in all, it was an unexpectedly delightful meal.

Oil, lots of it!

I give this place mixed reviews. I have eaten here at least at a dozen times. The people are so friendly, the focaccia bread and Caesar salad are yummy! The pasta is a hit or miss. I usually order the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and it's never consistent. Once I ordered it and it had so much garlic, my husband could smell it from the other side of the table. It was not edible. Tonight the dish was good but as I was getting towards the end of the bowl, I noticed my noodles were really oily. Then I looked in the bowl and noticed a pool of oil. Not like a tablespoon full but it looked like almost a cup full of oil.

Very friendly service! Nice dining area with televisions to watch sports, etc. Food came out quick and hot. Everything was great

I've had this place on my 'list to try' for awhile now. We came in for lunch on a Saturday around noon. Note: Yelp says they open at 11:30, but they don't open until noon (per their website). I've asked Yelp to update. They are located in a busy strip mall. The face of the restaurant is super cool looking, but a bit misplaced for a strip mall, in my opinion. There's plenty of parking available. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Our hostess was also our server. She was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The interior was really dark. They could use some candles and flowers on the table?! The interior seemed kind of industrial, not very cozy like most Italian places I've been to. After perusing the menu, we decided to try the risotto sausage balls (arancini), focaccia bread, Caesar salad and Margherita pizza. The food was good. Our favorite part was the risotto sausage balls. They were so flavorful! The price of $15 seemed a bit steep for two risotto balls. The focaccia bread wasn't what I was expecting either. It was super fluffy, like white bread, not dense, no pockets, no olive oil or herbs on top. Kind of odd, and expensive for three pieces at $7. The Caesar salad was good. We liked the dressing and tons of parmesan, but I did notice some pieces of romaine weren't fresh and browned. I'm not happy when I pay for a salad with brown lettuce. The Margherita pizza was good. We were astonished how they could get the crust so thin and cooked so well without burning it. It was nice and crispy and toppings tasted fresh, but kind of pricey at $19. Overall the service was good, food was okay, and the atmosphere lacking. We ended up paying $70 for lunch and we shared everything. Probably won't be returning, since there are other options in the area that we enjoy more.

Caesar salad, it was kinda big. I feel like they put too much parmesan or maybe it was just me.. Otherwise it was good.
Viktoria B.

First time here and it was good. The food was good. Not a big menu though. The service was great, not too big of a wait and the ambiance was good as well. The atmosphere in the room was quiet and not loud at all.

Delish
Katherine W.

Went back again today and food and service was just as good as the first time. Restaurant is clean and modern. We went at 3pm and it was pretty slow. We love going after lunch rush and before dinner rush. The waitress let us know they had a couple menu updates and that they were going to start swapping things for seasonal items which sounded fantastic to us! We got the Italian table salad, burrata, focaccia, arancini, and the bee sting pizza. If you're not getting a pizza when you come here, you are missing out!!! I will continue to shout from the mountaintop, best pizza in Vancouver!! Thin crust, the red sauce is on point, meat is excellent quality. The crust is thin but crispy & chewy in all the right places. The arancini was two crispy balls from heaven, filled with risotto and sausage, served on top of marinara that you will want to lick off the plate. Our little one got the kids pizza which is basically a size small/medium pepperoni pizza and it's $9! Can't beat it. We finished with tiramisu and cheesecake and both were delicious. Please continue to come and support this little local gem. The location is a little random but so worth it!

Made reservations through Open Table. Was seated quickly. Selected food from the Happy Hour menu. This restaurant is located in the space that Rally Pizza used to be located at. Near Planet Fitness, off of Mill Plain. Ambiance was nice. High ceilings. Lots of windows. Casual dining. We chose the garlic knots (rolls), Caesar salad, calamari, and Margherita pizza. The garlic knots were the BEST!! Buttery with lots of garlic. Light, fresh, and steaming hot. Freshly baked bread items are my kryptonite. I consumed them so fast I didn't even take the time to dip the garlic knots into the side of marinara sauce provided. The house-made salad dressing for the Caesar salad was good. I love anchovies. The salad is enough for two. Wish we had better cuts of romaine lettuce though. That would be my only complaint. Not enough to bring the review down from a 5-star rating. The calamari was excellent! The batter was crisp. Not as oily as other places I've had calamari at. The calamari tasted fresh. Not hard or gummy. The dipping sauce was good too. But the calamari was so good that I didn't use much of the sauce. The Margherita pizza was delicious. Love the air pockets in the dough, the sauce, melted cheese, and fresh basil leaves atop the pizza. We ordered so much food that we had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Could not resist ordering the tiramisu. LOVED it! Not too sweet. It was light and smooth. They way we like it. My husband and I ate all of it. We will most definitely be back. I'll order spaghetti, plus meatballs (which are extra). I told our kids about this place (they're in their 30s). I mentioned to them that the garlic knots were even better than the garlic rolls at Bravo's Italian Restaurant in Pearl City, Hawaii (Oahu), where we used to dine, when we lived there. THAT got their attention. They will most definitely dine at Nostra Tavola soon! I discovered this place after reading about it in the Facebook Group, "Dining in the Couve". Nostra Tavola was mentioned a few times, as a favorite Italian restaurant. I had to try it with such raving comments. So happy I did! Enjoy the pictures. :o)

Burrata and zucchini
Kayla W.

Lovely and romantic spot for dinner! The cavatelli dish is one of my favorite Italian dishes I've ever tried. My husband absolutely loves the rigatoni and burrata as well. We've already been back a couple times since our first visit. Bonus points for a solid espresso martini.

Cacio e pepe
Peggy M.

I went here for lunch today and was disappointed. I've been here before and enjoyed the pizza I ordered then," but it was a few years ago. Today my sister and I split an order of eggplant Parmesan and Cacio e pepe. The eggplant was pretty good, if skimpy. 4 small rounds, cut relatively thick. 2 more rounds would have felt more generous. The sauce was good and it was smothered in plenty of cheese though. We thought they should have served it with spaghetti. It was the Cacio e pepe that really disappointed. It had barely any flavor. This is a dish that needs lots of cheese along with pepper and pasta water, but what we mostly got was the flavor of pasta water with a little cheese melted into it and no pepper at all. The server ground a dusting of pepper on it but that is NOT how this dish should get its pepper. We were both quite disappointed and for the price, we felt ripped off. There wasn't even any salt on the table to zing it up. I was here a few years ago and was pleased to return, but I doubt we will be back which makes me sad. This place has a good location and comfortable vibe, the service was fine. I really wanted to like it all.

Everything was great!! Small menu to focus on only a few food dishes, attentive staff, chill ambiance! Made our Valentine's Day special.

This is such a fun place to visit!!! They have a handful of pinball games for selection and a nice…read moremenu if you get the munchies! It does suck as I cannot eat here due to them having a crustable they fry, but, this place is fun and a wonderful place to bring friends for a day or night out. I also loved the service. My friend and I kind of cracked some jokes to the server and he laughed and smiled and made us feel a warm welcome! There's also a lot of things near by in case you want to explore which I really enjoy about downtown Vancouver! This place overall has a nice atmosphere.

We met some friends at Silver Ball Social Club a few weeks ago. We didn't know there was a brunch…read moreoption, and we had already eaten before we arrived, so I can't comment on the food. We got the "free play" wristband, which allowed us to play about 25ish classic pinball machines in the back room. Unfortunately, the skee-ball machines (my weakness) and the Godzilla pinball were in the front of house and not included. The wristband was a good value, and I found a few machines that I enjoyed. Overall: + Free play wristband + Over 21 venue + Good selection of machines - It was uncomfortably hot in the pinball room - no AC or fan. - One of the games didn't have a right flipper button, so the only option was to stick your finger in a hole, which weirded me out. - A few machines weren't working when I cycled back

Came here for brunch with a girlfriend and I really appreciated all the vegan options they had and…read morethe coffee was delicious as someone who doesn't drink coffee like that! They have oat milk for those who are dairy free and their vegan chorizo was very delicious! They even gave us a free dessert to take home so I would highly recommend this place to go for brunch either with a few friends or by yourself to get a nice book. Brunch is kind, brunch is fine I am happy anytime my friend and I find a classy place to dine

Cecilia is a restaurant for a certain type of customer. I can see a tremendous appeal for some…read morepatrons and not so for others. I shall explain. The ambiance is an attempt at industrial chic. When one walks in, the waiting area has a glass pain which gives an open view into the grill area, a popular chic vibe. The ceilings are high, there are brick walls, air conditioning ducts which run along the ceiling totally exposed, and a bar as the centerpiece of the restaurant. They pull their goal at chic ambiance off well: 5 star. Cecilia also makes a strong marketing effort to the weekend brunch crowd that likes to have a morning fufu alcohol drink as a little remedy for the ole "have a bit of the snake that bit you last night". That is to say they promote a variety of house cocktails that are both rather sweet and attractive to the eye. I feel they pull this off extremely well - delivering what they promote - although I did not indulge. Again, a 5 star performance. As for the service, I would say it was subpar, especially for a restaurant which bills itself as a high end breakfast spot. I had no reservation, asked how long the wait would be, they told me 25 minutes and the actual wait was 45 minutes. Not a good start: 20 minutes off is significant. I ran a restaurant. If you are going to be off, err on the conservative side: tell one an hour and have them sit in 45. If they decide to stay they will appreciate the effort. If they decide to leave, they will not hold it against management but will rather realize next time one should make a reservation. Speaks to bad management. As for the actual service, the waitress had virtually zero character, barely checked on us during the meal - although walked by us a number of times - and it took a long time for our plates to be cleared and the check to be delivered. Service rated a 2 star, and that is being generous. Finally, the food. I was extremely disappointed. Note I went here with high expectations. I left with a low level of gastronomic satisfaction. I ordered the eggs benedict. I tend to order this in a good restaurant because I do not make it at home and it is a great breakfast treat of done well. As for this rendition, mixed review. The pastry it was served on was a delicate, layered pastry which was very good. However, the two eggs were way overcooked to the point that the yolk was virtually all cooked. Most certainly not the way an egg benedict should be prepared. As for the side of potatoes: I frequently cook potatoes with my breakfast - mine blow these away. Not hard to make good potatoes, these were not those. My ladies breakfast was a huge disappointment. It read great and unique on the menu. A shrimp omelette. However, when it was delivered and cut into massive amount of a liquid which almost resembled water filled the plate: talk about unappetizing. Then the contents. They shrimp were the cheap, tasteless, tiny bay shrimp. Talk about no pride in quality of food and quality not rising to the marketing thereof: abysmal effort. An establishment trying to market themselves as a foodie place should use medium to large, quality shrimp which taste like shrimp- not the low end, tasteless shrimp stuffed into these eggs. This omelette would have trouble competing with an omelette at a local diner. I would never serve a house guest such a poor specimen, but then I take pride in my cooking: I do not believe Cecilia's does. As for food, given what they market themselves as - a menu which screams out that we are serious about our food: I rate it as diner food outside of the biscuit and one huge disappointment. In summary, I believe for the person who is trying to impress a guest with ambiance and the quality of food is not that important, go for it because Cecilia's is a good fit. For the patron that enjoys atmosphere, Cecilia's is a good stop. For the patron who likes a good alcoholic drink for brunch, highly recommend. For those patrons who are seeking a solid foodie experience or whom value good table service, Cecilia will deliver a big disappointment.
