Atmosphere is excellent! Courtyard with a fountain and YEARS old vines growing above you. Food was good - I got the prawn scampi and it needed a bit of seasoning. But the service was horrible. Restaurant was 1/3 full when I arrived (with a reservation) and there were plenty of staff circling tables. It took 25 minutes for my server to come and take my drink order. Since I had had PLENTY of time to think I put my full 3 course order in. She stuttered and giggled and couldn't even make a sentence (and before you judge me, she was blonde, young, English speaking). Didn't tell me about specials. Didn't pour water. And then had her fellow staff serve my drink and food and bill. Because I spent years in the service industry I did not give zero tip - I gave a 12%. And that was generous. Did I mention it was my birthday?

Bella funghi pizza

Great place for Italian food on Bowen Island. We got the funghi pizza and beef and veal meatballs. I was a big fan of the beef and veal meatballs as it was the perfect combinations of flavours and wasn't too cheesy. The pizza was also quite good. Would recommend when you are on Bowen Island!

Toscana Salad for 2

I managed to get a reservation for Friday at 7:45 (cutting it close because I believe they're last call is at 8:15) and thank goodness I had such a lovely meal. ANTIPASTO - Heirloom tomato and Burrata Caprese: Delicious! Served with homemade pesto. The flavours all complimented each excellently. Initially I was caught a bit off guard that the tomatoes were roasted/warm, but it grew on me. Pro tip: SAVE THE LEFTOVER/REMAINING PESTO/BALSAMIC DELICIOUS GOODNESS if you're ordering pizza because dipping the crust into it is just chef's kiss. - Toscana Salad : so yummy! The flavours all complemented each other so well. MAINS - Pollo and Pesto Pizza : very yummy. A tiny bit too cheesy for my liking, but that's just me. - Bella Funghi : A more subtle flavour than the Pollo and Pesto. Yummy as well. - Lingue Vongole : this was a daily special as well!! Had bits of bacon in it. Lots of butter. - Bologese alla Rigatoni : the sauce had a bit of a nutmeg-ey almost Moussaka-like flavour to it. Not very tomatoey, which was a nice change. Desserts: - Tiramisu : first time I've ever had tiramisu served with ice cream. I think the ladyfinger cookies could've been more soaked in coffee because it was rather dry. Thankfully though it didn't have an overbearing amaretto/alcohol flavour which I really appreciated Overall, highly recommend! They could improve on their tiramisu IMO because it was a bit too dry and it felt like they were trying to compensate for it with the ice cream

So cozy on the patio

Upon our arrival to Bowen, we drove by and saw how utterly cute and lovely this place was. With vines hanging all over the outside patio, we took a peek at the menu and decided Italian sounded like a good idea for our first night in Bowen Island. We got seated not on the floraly patio, but on the actual patio of the restaurant that felt private and romantic. We grabbed half a liter of delicious Argentinian wine and selected the mushroom ravioli with truffle foam and the Dolce Inferno pizza. Oh my goodness. That mushroom ravioli was Divine with a capital D. I could've eaten ten orders of that and not been sick of it. I was worried that there would be too few raviolis but the portion was decent. The pizza was a mix of salty and sweet with the caramelized onions which I guess I knew I was going to be eating, but realized upon eating I wasn't entirely in the mood for; however, it was still quite delicious! Our waitress was incredibly friendly and informative and definitely made us feel like a top priority. I really enjoyed my experience here.

Ladies and gentlemen, the incredible Bella Funghi! (mushroom pizza)

Superb pizza and salad at a cute little eatery with a gorgeous summer patio. Choose between personal size or large, which is generous, and an olive oil or a tomato sauce base. We had the Bella Funghi, which had lovely toppings (roasted garlic, mushrooms, truffle oil, goat cheese, mozzarella, herbs, arugula and preserved lemon for that extra little pop.) We overheard that they'd just changed their crust recipe, and whatever they did really sang - it was light, crisp, just a touch chewy but then vanished into a mouthful of pure flavour. Really intriguing texture that felt entirely authentic and made it my favourite pizza on the west coast so far. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Toscana Salad (pear, balsamic, seeds, goat cheese etc). Generous enough to share, and great flavours. The only low point was dessert, which we let our server talk us into. Pear tart with brown butter sauce. Somehow the flavours didn't quite gel and the base was so hard we couldn't even combine spoon force to cut it! They either don't have the same rigorous standards for their pastry chef or this was a feature that kind of flopped. Either way, a minor blip in a really terrific dinner. We'll totally go back try to the mushroom gnocchi and the Neuvo Vegetariana pizza if we end up on Bowen Island again!

Welcome to Tuscany!!

Fantastic dinner!!! What turned out for them to be a long service being a long weekend and guests still arriving way past "closing hours". The food was magnificent and kudos to them on their wine pricing - it's a great way to enjoy a nice wine as an addition to the experience without thinking about prices of the wines. Our server, although pretty much swamped, was very personable and attentive and made time for chit-chat when she was able to - Megs you were fabulous and thank you!!! As part of a weekend escape to Bowen Island - this was the highlight!!!

Wow, is all I can say. I had never in a million years expected such great flavour from such a cute little restaurant on Bowen Island! It was gorgeous even though it was a rainy day, and I loved the exterior just as much as the interior. The service, first of all, was great and attentive - even though they were a full house that night. Words of advice? Make a reservation here, because it'll be worth it. We made ours just a few hours in advance, but it was completely worth it. The food was a bit harder for me because I had to eat dairy-free - or I thought it'd be harder. The server provided me with many choices that I could either alter for each dish and I had a great tomato based spaghetti. I ordered it thinking 'How good could it possibly be? It's just spaghetti." Even when it showed up, it looked underwhelming. I was definitely wrong to judge. It was intense in flavour and I still dream about this spaghetti to this day. So, so, so worth the carbs and every bite was amazing. COME HERE if you're at Bowen! You won't regret it.

We went in mid September, meant to add my review then. We all loved the food, fantastic and friendly service. My fave was my pizza, delectably delicious. The rest of it was next day's lunch. Loved the atmosphere. Looking forward to going again^^* Especially in the spring or summer when the patio is in full bloom.

Ambiance and Decor: Quite quaint and dark. Try to get a seat near the front window; they'll light…read morethe table tealight once it get a bit darker outside. They have some bar-height tables made out of some barrels - I would not sit here. Service Quality: Staff was attentive and knew the menu well. They recommend getting a wide variety of dishes since it is tapas. Menu Variety: Great selection of spanish tapas. There's fish, meat, seafood, veggies - there is something for everyone. You won't find the lesser known tapas here - just the main popular ones we all know. Food Presentation: Simple, nothing crazy here. Plated with intention. Food Taste and Quality: Food came to the table hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Some of the patatas bravas were a bit undercooked - for me there was a bit too much sauce here. They also have the shishito peppers here - even though 1 out of 10 are spicy, it was more like 5 out of 10 were spicy. Luckily they were all grilled to perfection. The cod fritters were great, would order again. Portion Sizes: You'll need to order at least 5 dishes for a table of 2. Drink Selection: Simple cocktail menu with a spanish twist to them - if you really want to call it a "spanish cocktail". Price and Value: Good value for money, priced just right. Overall Experience and Recommendation: Make sure you make a reservation cause if not you'll be waiting and by the time you look for another restaurant for dinner - everything will be closed (cause its Bowen Island). I tried it, I would try the other restaurants on the island first before coming back.

Pretty fantastic! I was in Bowen Island for a yoga retreat…read more Most places were closed limited options. We were happy this place was open, we were not disappointed. Spanish tapas style, we ordered about 6 dishes and bread and we were pretty full. Also sangria. Food was fantastic, everything we ordered had so much flavor, my favourite was the orzo salad and the shrimp. A little surprise that Bowen Island had this little gem. Due to Covid protocols only patio was open, which worked fine for us, also set up socially distance. Great service. Recommend you making reservation, we didn't but came right when they opened lucked out with a table. It got pretty busy 15 minutes after we arrived. Overall, I was very impressed. We will be back!

We were visiting Sechelt and looking for a place to have a late lunch.We looked up our…read morepossibilities on Yelp and decided on trying the Lighthouse pub. We were pleasantly impressed by the wonderful view from the patio overlooking Porpoise Bay. The service was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the fish and chips that we noticed other customers were enjoying as well as a glass of white wine. While waiting for our meal we enjoyed the lovely view of the mountains, bay and boats while sipping on our glass of wine. Everything was perfect! The meal arrived and it was beyond my expectations. I rarely order fish and chips and I would definitely order it again at the lighthouse pub. The fish was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. The portions were great for me and my big appetite. The price was reasonable for such a lovely meal and atmosphere. I look forward to going back to eat there again on my next visit.

Lovely pub located on the Sechelt Inlet wharf, right next to the seaplane airport…read more Amazing views of the Inlet, especially at sunset. The menu is quite large, lots of mains and handhelds to choose from. Our group ordered the salmon burger, beef burger, beef quesadilla and pasta carbonara. All was good and tasty. Especially loved the yam fries!! Our only complaint was the wait. It took a while to get our drinks, and also to order the food. For drinks I ordered a lavender coconut margarita, it was quite strong and a bit too salty. The others had different beers so no issues on that side. Overall a good place to have a relaxed meal.
