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.

Service was good but the risotto was undercooked significantly and ravioli had a rubbery texture which made both dishes disappointing.

Great location and ambiance but food leaves a lot to be desired. Pastas gritty and flavorless. Bread and appetizers were good but one of the appetizers never came, the server forgot to put it in. The decor and premise are fantastic, just get pasta right and this could be great.

First time visiting this restaurant with 3 other friends. Overall the food was good but wish there were more than 2 meat/seafood options. We ended up just ordering 3 appetizers and 1 pasta and left to complete our dinner at another restaurant. Service was efficient and welcoming and so no complaints there. Do miss the former occupant, Autostrada that had a more varied menu and our group agreed tasted better. We may give it another go in the near future if the meat/seafood entree options expands.

Beautiful - brought family here from Europe, they all loved so much, cocktails and N/A - excellent choices. So hard to choose what everyone’s favourite was, but the gnocchi, ravioli, and bolognese were to die for!! Tiramisu & panna cotta were the perfect end to a beautiful meal with family
