    I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was really good — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The environment was pleasant and welcoming, but what stood out the most to me was the combination of excellent food and outstanding service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    The food was delicious! They make their pasta in-house and you can tell! Every single dish we had form the salad to the crab pasta to the pistachio tiramisu were to die for. Our waiter was kind, patient and so so nice!

    “What a difference time makes! Had dinner at @locandadellorso when they first opened—good, but quiet. Tonight? Packed with a stylish, diverse crowd, timeless decor that’s perfectly balanced, and food that’s absolutely spectacular. And the service? Flawless. A total win on all counts.

    Locanda dell'Orso is a nice addition to Vancouver's culinary experience. It has a quaint atmosphere in an accessible location close to the Vancouver Playhouse and QE Theatre. The offerings were delicious. Staff are professional and super friendly. I only wish there were more choices on the menu.
