Decent Italian spot, though there are probably better spots in town. We had the bruschetta, seafood ravioli and pappardelle with chicken, sausage, and beef. The seafood ravioli was tasty and I'd have it again. The pappardelle was decent although didn't have as much depth or complexity of flavour as it could've. The bruschetta, which was kind of like an open faced sandwich - a spread on bread with some prosciutto on top (no tomatoes in case that's what you're expecting!), was pretty meh and I wouldn't order it again. Service was nice enough. It's a cute, cozy spot in Gastown. Overall, it was just fine but given the abundance of great Italian restaurants in town I probably would go elsewhere when craving pasta. read more

Husband and I were out for a Friday date night and wanted to try a new place while walking around Gastown and walked by this place. The restaurant was cute, cozy, and could seat us right away so we decided to give it a try. We got the poached pear salad and enjoyed it! The pears were delicious and a very refreshing salad. It did come with burrata on top which was a bit disappointing since it wasn't gooey at all. For our mains, we split the pesto rigatoni and the special which was also a rigatoni with white wine, capers, shrimp and lemon. First off, the noodles are delicious on both dishes. They are clearly handmade in the best way possible. Very tender, delicate, and almost melt in your mouth. The pesto dish was perfect but again the burrata on top was disappointing since it was sort of tough/dry and not gooey. The special dish was very good but the lemon was quite strong. Initially it was a bit too much but it did grow on you over time and I did like the dish. We ended with a tiramisu and while it was delicious, there wasn't much of the bread/cake/cookie part as it was mostly cream. Overall, it was fun to try a new place but I expected a more for the price point. For $35 per plate plus salad and dessert it was a very expensive dinner and we weren't full. read more

We absolutely loved their fresh chewy house made pasta! Our server was also friendly and polite. It's a small cozy restaurant near China town. We cannot wait to come back here and try another pasta. read more

Excellent homemade pasta and overall adorable little restaurant in Gastown. We had a lovely meal here tonight and the service was fantastic. Amazing cocktail (Banana Old Fashioned - so yummy!!), good wine, delicious bread to start. Then all the pasta is made fresh and you can tell. Everything was great - the tagliatelle ragu and the pasta with pesto and burrata were both winners. We would definitely return on another visit to Vancouver! read more

Ah perfect Italian place in Gastown! Super cute place and design, perfect food! Best pasta outside of Italy! read more

Taste: 3.7/5 I tried the pasta al pesto which was overall really good but not special, and I didn't love the toasted pistachios on top. The gnocchi pomodoro & basilico was the choice to make! So soft and flavorful would go back for more!  Price: 4/5 Not cheap but overall not that expensive when it comes down to it. Wish there was free bread.  Service: 5/5 We were seated right away on a Saturday night and was served right away!  Vibes/Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Great date night space. Quieter atmosphere and low lighting. read more

While visiting Vancouver our group went here for dinner and had an amazing meal. We got the burrata for the table and then we ordered carbonara and Pappardelle "ROCHE ROCHE" to share between myself and one other. We LOVED it. The food was exceptional and so was the service. We visited towards the end of the day and they were accommodating and got us seated quickly and had the food out fast. Great place I would visit again! read more

Best authentic pasta I've found so far in Vancouver. Perfect service and I felt like I was sitting in a small restaurant in Tuscany.

This was our first meal in Vancouver, and it was fantastic! The service is outstanding! The food is delicious! My wife and I got the "Dinner Date" option which is two of appetizer, entree, dessert and a bottle of wine! The portions were huge and we left stuffed! Awesome experience! read more

i was recommended this spot by a friend for good italian and a good vibe. boy was she spot on! the interior was cozy, intimate and cute! The waiter working tonight wS amazing!! i couldn't catch his name but he provided excellent service and was so attentive and kind. Now for the food. my friend and i both ordered the gnocchi with burrata and woww. so delicious. we also decided to split a dessert and couldn't decide between the tirimisu and the chocolate mousse. we ended up choosing the tirimisu and was pleasantly surprised when the waiter brought out both options, and said the mousse was on him tonight. sooo sweet of him. totally going above and beyond. the drinks were definitely on the pricy side ($15-20 each), so we decided to just grab fountain drinks. for location, It's on the edge of gastown but this is such a great option if you're visiting the area! read more

Great food, great service will def be back when back in vancouver! Our server was amazing!

This may have been the best pasta I have ever ate in my entire life. When choosing a place for Dine Out Vancouver, everything seemed the same to me. I only knew one thing, i felt like eating Italian food. In the past I've never splurged on Italian food, just the usual Olive Garden, Basil Pasta Bar or even a good ol jar of sauce and Ikea meatballs. But let me tell you, after coming here, I don't think I can look at Pasta the same way. The pesto gnocchi ($55 per set menu) was by far the best option they had imo. Of course the appetizer and tiramisu were incredible and I especially enjoyed the fresh complimentary fresh bread, but the pasta was out of this world. The sauce was so flavourful and complex but so simple. It was like a soup I could eat on its own. The burrata added a fresh, creamy component that brought the dish together. And finally you can't forget the gnocchi. Somehow they managed the create a cloud that had the perfect bite. So soft and pillowy yet the perfect fulfilling bite you look for in pasta. I don't know whose Nonna they have back there, but shes amazing and deserves a raise. Overall 10/10 experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming (especially since it was our first time and we don't regularly eat fancy food). While the restaurant was small, the vibe was very cute and cozy. This + the deliciousness of the meal = this being one of my top fav Vancouver restaurants!! read more

I was not expecting this to be so ridiculously good!!! We had spaghetti carbonara, lobster and crab ravioli with prawns, arugula and tomatoes, and some of the tastiest pasta with burrata, pistachios, and Ligurian pesto. Knocked our socks off. read more

This intimate space feels like a pasta boutique. If you're like my next door neighbour who watches through the front door all day to make sure nobody else's leaves touches their esteemed but underwhelming lawn, you may find the experience to social for your introverted liking. In true European fashion they've managed to maximize a small space luxuriously. Prosciutto and burrata was the perfect start. I go to an Italian restaurant, I need bread, oil and cheese faster than chatGPT wrote my cover letter. Top tier burrata and a proper melt-in-your-mouth prosciutto. Perfect fat content and an overwhelming portion for two people. Quattro formaggio gnocchi was creamy, cheesy, cooked properly, well balanced and fun to say. Would smash. Lobster and crab ravioli tasted of the sea a little too much for my liking. However the prawns were phenomenal. I would eat an entire plate of those prawns. Tiramisu had a good balance of flavour however it wasn't quite set yet. The bottom was unfortunately still slimy. Imagine eating a really good sandwich, but with a soggy, bottom slice of bread. That's how it felt. Shout out the Soggy Bottom Boys. It's like K-os said, no time to get down cause I'm movin' up. It felt like a crab bucket situation. One dish elevates your senses, another dish pulls it back. When the bill came, our bellies were full and the venue was charming. Ultimately, Robba da Matti felt like it was Robba ma money. read more

One of my favourite Italian food places in Vancouver... went to Kitsilano and it is a perfect date place! :)

I am tourist in town and known to be a foodie as I am in the business. This restaurant was small and a bit bare on the ambiance but the food and service were superb. Here for only a week and this place deserves a return visit. My compliments to the chef. A memorable meal!! read more

The service was spectacular. The poached pear salad was very big a lot of pear which was sweet and spiced.the burrata cheese from Italy was perfect with prosciutto. The pasta carbonara was perfectly cooked and was absolutely superb. five star. read more

My husband and I came here to have a birthday dinner. I wish it was a little more lively. The place was empty, we were the only ones there the entire meal. That being said the server was great, very nice - no complaints there. During our reservation we were just surrounded by fruit flies, we were constantly swatting them away. There was also a massive fly that kept flying to our table. This made enjoying our food a little difficult as it felt almost dirty. For this reason I most likely won't go back. read more

The reviews don't lie, y'all. Everything here was amazing. I was almost put off by the small size when I initially looked inside, but this place is sooo good. Taste and quality was amazing and so fresh and hot coming out. Service was great, fast and friendly. I got the burrata caprese, lobster and crab ravioli and panna cotta, each delicious. Make sure you make a reservation on a busier night read more

Great little restaraunt that had delicious bread and wonderful homemade pasta. The pear salad was also delightful.

Food is ok, service is really the worst I ever had in Canada, initially it's fine but at the end it's absolutely ridiculous, they didn't tell me my table was only given for 1hr and 30 mins initially and then given that I didn't ask for the bill, I was suddenly given the bill as the waitress made a mistake, thought her manager asked her to prepare my bill, I've already finished my meal, just trying to finish my drink while waiting for the rain to get smaller, but I told her manager it's fine, I paid the bill. The waitress asked if I wanted some coffee I said "yes, thank you". And then after a few minutes, I asked about my coffee, the manager told me my table is expired and asked me to go out for a coffee. Seriously if it's this case, you shouldn't ask me if I want the coffee, it's humiliating and damage what you provided at the beginning. The manager said I accepted the bill, their website writes about 1 hr and 30mins thing. Is that the rule that you go to their website before going to a restaurant?!!! I accepted the bill because I am kind, I didn't want to embarrass others. And then the manager said sorry but made the kind of expression to the waitress that I had an issue...I think their service is really not professional and uncomfortable. Vancouver is a fancy city with lots of good restaurants that offer excellent food and services, you don't need to go to this one in particular, which may in some way destroy your mood. read more

This is food orgasm. The best pasta we've tried outside of Italy. All other dishes like tuna tartar, and all antipasti are top notch. Service is great and the ambiance on top floor is great. Our go to place when in Vancouver from now on read more

Had an amazing experience here. Food was so good and staff was amazing! Highly recommend this place!!

Whew, that was so much food but all worth it! We came here because of the glowing reviews of the food, but our server/manager Antonio and the rhythm he has going with the chef lend to the whole experience. Very attentive despite being busy and running this whole show with 2 people. My husband and I had a fun evening and are possibly the fullest we've ever been. The restaurant is at once elegant and bistro like inside. There is a hustle that must be taking place, but we never felt any stress or chaos as a result of all that must've been taking place. Give these folks a raise! I ordered warm olives and oh my, I don't think I can ever eat cold olives again! The focaccia was soft and flavorful. My partner got the prosciutto and cantaloupe. He ate every bite. Then we had pasta dishes and did our best to finish! Lastly we had both the panna cotta and chocolate mousse-like dessert. Both awesome! Make a reservation today! read more

Just amazing. We had the buratta, carbonara, and ragu dish with a side of nice Italian wine, and all of it was so satisfying. The atmosphere was serene and service was exceptional. I'd highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a great experience in Gastown and some of the best Italian food in the area. read more

We hand such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely incredible. Soooo fresh. We got the burrata and I'm still day dreaming about it almost 24 hours later. The gnocchi all's portofino was amazing. It's small cozy space but we thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

Food was great but service was not. I highly recommend the gnocchi and the date night is very worth it!
