   We visited Sempre Uno on April 4th, 2025. We were celebrating our anniversary and hoped for a special experience. The staff delivered. Service was stellar and menu catered to a variety of tastes. We chose the veal medallions and the capesante gamberi and both were exquisite. SU will be our go-to restaurant for all special occasions from now on. Great meeting you all and we will see you again soon! Cheers, M&G North Van

   I had a reservation for 8 although they had empty tables they made me wait. I got there 8:45. I had a regular pasta. There were no taste. Italian restaurants are my go to. The experience with the fake unfriendly staff and regular food. I won’t go there again and won’t recommend.

   Quin and Abel looked after us very well! The food was superb and the ambience inviting! We particularly enjoyed the gnocchi, the veal medallions and the rack of lamb. Thank you all for a terrific evening!

   I was pleasantly surprised to get not only a wonderful meal for my wife and I, but at very reasonable prices and terrific service. I was expecting much higher prices. And they gave us complementary Prosecco for our anniversary!

   The safron rice dish with scallops and prawns was delicious as was the burrata salad and the berry dessert. Our waiter was freindly and helpful. His menu suggestions were great!

    We were excited to try Sempre Uno after walking by several times on the way to Lonsdale Quay....but frankly we left unimpressed. Despite being only one of three tables ( a total of 7 people)before 6pm they somehow were down to their last plate of one of the specials. Odd. A taster of one of their wines by the glass was near vinegar (glad i checked first) and the menu price turned out to be wrong. I ordered a Strozzapreti with italian sausage which was excellent. My partner who came specifically to try the Branzino was greatly disappointed. It was very overcooked (almost like leather) instead of being soft and delicious with full flavouring. What a shame for what should have been a star dish for the restaurant. And when mentioned to the server, the response was underwhelming and with no followup by a manager or the chef to see what they could do to improve our experience (as any good restaurant should). Lastly i should mention the acoustics, which due to the cement floor and low hard ceiling bounced sound around, particularly when a table was seated behind us. It was unbearable. In the end, what should have been a slow romantic dinner by the waterfront turned into a "lets get out of here" experience. Hope you can do better!
