In 1917, one of our forefathers, Giuseppe (Joe) Piva emigrated from northern Italy to interior BC. He spent the next five decades farming cattle, sheep, poultry, fruits and vegetables. Although he did not make his own wine, he grew grapes & provided them to close friends for their own bacchanalian pursuits. Piva Modern Italian Restaurant honors Joe’s passion for farm fresh ingredients, traditional Italian cooking and exceptionally prepared food and drink with a modern approach.

Our chef works hard, right before your eyes, using consciously sourced ingredients from local farms and artisans balanced by premium product imported from Italy and around the globe. Our wine list features many wines by the glass and carefully selected labels featuring the best of BC and Italy.

Had Antonio Tevares as our server for father's day dinner and he was a delight. We noticed portions seems to be getting smaller though, particularly the pasta dishes; based off of having been here 3+ times. Will always come back for a treat but hopefully the portions don't get any smaller.

Food was top quality as always. We brought my parents for Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations. They were equally as impressed and have been talking about the food since.
