Nicli Antica Pizzeria

After the Havana Club party at the Clough Club back in June, I decided to grab a bit more food with my friends over at Nicli Antica Pizzeria.

Novo Pizzeria and Wine Bar

Having some really good pizza recently at Famoso, Novo Pizzeria and Wine Bar was another Neapolitan Pizza joint that has gotten really good reviews, and highly recommended by friends. I really wanted to try this place out for a while now.

Campagnolo Roma

Campagnolo Roma is one of the restaurant that has been on my wish list for a long time. I finally made it here for dinner with some friends over the Victoria Day long weekend.

Famoso Pizzeria

Last night we were invited to the Grand Opening of the first Famoso Pizzeria in BC. They started in 2005 with many locations in Edmonton and Calgary. Beipas, myself, and Erin Gee were given a tour of the restaurant by the founder, Justin. He told us about his trip to Italy, and how it inspired him to start Famoso.

Q4 al Centro for Dineout Vancouver 2012

Last night I went to my first Dine Out Vancouver meal of 2012. Me and two friends tried each of the 3 courses on their $38 menu. The restaurant actually isn’t that big, but still has room for an open kitchen, and a bar with TVs to watch the hockey game.

Verace Pizzeria

Last week before I went to see the Canucks game, Dee and I grabbed a quick dinner at Verace Pizzeria.

The restaurant is very conveniently located at stadium station, right beside the T&T supermarket. Honestly, I have walked by this pizzeria, and never knew it existed until now.

Italian Kitchen

Italian Kitchen is one of the last few Glowbal Group restaurants that MePlusFood hasn’t been to yet. We just need to go to Coast and the newly opened Black and Blue. This is the more expensive version of their other Italian restaurant, Trattoria, on West 4th, with Pastas ranging from about $16 – 25.

Cosca

We were invited to taste some menu items at Cosca by Ronald Lee at Eat Marketing. Cosca is a newer Italian restaurant on Denman. Walking in you can see it’s a very intimate. There’s about 20  seats in there in one long row, and some room at the bar. It’s kind of dimly lit with a somewhat open kitchen at the back. It’s also very popular with the locals.

Anton’s Pasta Bar

What’s the first place in Vancouver when you want a butt-load of pasta at a very reasonable price? Most of you probably think Anton’s. What else do you think about when you think about Anton’s? Usually long lines.

Trattoria Italian Kitchen

Trattoria Italian Kitchen has $10 pastas every Tuesday! Yes, every Tuesday Trattoria has $10 pasta specials, so my friends and I took advantage of this deal and went to try out this Italian kitchen.

Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill

My brother and his wife took me out for my birthday (a month overdue!), and I chose Cioppino’s because I was craving pasta for the past few days. We didn’t make any reservations, and arrived at Cioppino’s at about 6:30PM. Although only a few tables were filled at the time, all of them were reserved. We had to sit at the bar. Felt a bit weird with so many open tables, but it did fill up as we ate dinner.

Goldies Rustic Pizza

If you’re looking for a place for a quick drink and a quick bite, Goldies Rustic Pizza is one of those places for you. Goldies Rustic Pizza is a bar type pizza joint with a take out window on Pender street.
