We visit this restaurant regularly. It's our favourite Italian restaurant. The food is excellent; we particularly enjoy the linguine a la Gigi and saltimbocca a la romana. Good selection of Italian wines and the staff are helpful if you're not sure which wine to order. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Go on the weekends, when there is music by... more
I've been to this restaurant three times, had different dishes each time and enjoyed them all. Overall, I'd rate it as "Good", but the ratings go from 'Average" to "Very Good". It's a cozy, neighbourhood sort of restaurant. The first time, I selected a wine that I thought would go nicely with both meals, but they were out of it... more
The crazy old waiter shouted at us for no reason standing in the middle of the restaurant. My friend and I wanted to happily celebrate our one year anniversary but the waiter totally ruined our day and our mood. We already told them we were using an offer purchased from Groupon when we made our reservation. However, when we got... more
Food was tasteless, would have been better had it come from a can.
Never to return, don't waste your money on the groupon.
A reasonably priced Italian Restaurant with (usually) excellent service and consistently good, delicious food always served steaming hot. The quality control is likely a function of the chef being the restaurant owner.
Added nice touches are the live musical entertainment most nights (Enrico on keyboards and vocals), and often a complimentary Sambucca or Limonchello serves to most (regular...

The pasta it is the same in sicilia, i piatti dell' italia the service is very nice and if you go saturday or sunday you are the music. I eated with my family when travel in Vancouver and they told me l italia è a Vancouver. The boss was very frendly and welcome you .. Thank for this fabulous time
On a previous occasion we had eaten here and I had given a glowing review. We were back in Vancouver after taking a one-night cruise from Seattle. By using the Sky train and bus we made our way back here. The staff wasn't friendly at all and seemed very rushed. Previously my husband had ordered the Veal Osso bucco and... more
our service was very slow; just getting the waiter and hostess to acknowledge us was a challenge; they seemed to both avoid eye contact because they were busy. We weren't even asked if we wanted something to drink until about 20 minutes into the evening. The food was average; certainly not up to the standard we were led to believe... more
We bought a groupon and went last week for dinner. The reservation was easy to make, we were running late and called them, and they were nice about it. We were offered a choice of tables for 2 and chose the one by the window at the front. The back was pretty full and that's where the entertainment is, and... more
We have gone many times and have had great service & excellent food. Have made reservations every time with no problems. Every dish we have had has been great. If you go on the weekends & would like a little quiet ask for a table at the front. The Porchetta nights are on the top of the nights to go,... more
We brought our Mom for her birthday to Osteria Napoli Ristorante. Called ahead and made a reservation and confirmed that we had a Groupon. Upon arrival, our server was rude, rushing us through our drink order. We weren’t ready so he left abruptly. He came back a few minutes later, still weren’t ready, he rolled his eyes and left. After... more
OMG-had the family style meal. Antipasto, pasta, main entree and Tiramisu. First time there with a big group. It was like going to an Italian wedding. Very rustic restaurant with good food. Nothing pretentious. I enjoyed the experience.
Food was like Spaghetti Factory but more expensive. All sauces the same. Not much flavor. Lack manners, took my plate away before my husband was finished. Very noisy with the man playing live music. Actually couldn't talk to one another as he roamed around. This restaurant is for locals that have grown with the restaurant and just want to have... more
hot plates, superb food, they always bring you an opening surprise appetizer, the owner is always on staff watching everything, the wait staff are all experienced and highly attentive, the seafood vongole is my wife's favourite, and the cannelloni stuffed with Veal awesome. True Italian and they even have a musician playing on a Thursday night. The 1/2 litre house... more
We went back thanks to an email about the porchetta night. We figured we could try it again despite a previous visit that was not so good for me because I was facing a wall and had my back to everything. This time, we did reserve a table with a view throughout the restaurant, It was absolutely packed with clients.... more
Want good homemade food with staff that make it a neighbourhood feel? Then here's your place.
Nothing posh about it, but it doesn't need to be if food is the reason you're coming.
I've been here several times, and there is always at least one table speaking Italian amongst themselves or to the owners/staff. For me that says something.
I...

We have been going to the Osteria Napoli Ristorante for almost 24 years. We have always had a great time as well as great food. Enrico the musician, who has been there for 11 years, keeps the night entertaining and fun. Sometime the meals take a long time so don't go there if you are in a rush. Last visit... more
This restaurant has been a regular favourite for many years. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is consistently good, with an excellent selection of veal and fish dishes which come with a choice of pasta or vegetables. A wide selection of pastas, which can be had either as a starter portion or main course. Linguine a la... more
Food was delicious. Customer service was awesome. Entertainment was very pleasant and enjoyable!
The food was good and a lots of it, but the bill was unclear, less than accurate and a little high.
A plain small glass of ginger ale comes to $ 3.75 before 12 % tax and 15% fixed gratuity, so avoid the drinks as this really adds up quickly.
Also this restaurant is not really children friendly as the price of one dish to be split with 2 young kids went up in price substantially. So don’t ask...

After reading many reviews, we went to Osteria Napoli last night for dinner for 5 people.
The place looks cute and cozy, however, they put too many tables in a small place.
Menu is extensive, however, no fresh pasta, just like out of the box, desserts are not fresh either, just out of the freezer, even though they were quite...

Dinner for wife's birthday 28 August. Selection based on great reviews here. Took last spot in parking at 19:30; this is not an area where you want to leave an expensive vehicle. Well greeted and placed at small table for two where one of us faced the entertainment (wife), and the other faced the rear wall (me). Since seated squarely... more
This is a fantastic Italian restaurant - menu is extensive and staff are very friendly. My family and I have been going to this hotel for at least 15 years.
This is our first choice for all celebrations or whenever we are in the area.
My favorite dish is the homemade tortelloni. Very fresh. Ask about their roasted pig evenings...

You will not regret your meal here! Of all the restaurants in Vancouver we chose Osteria Napoli for Valentines. Why? Simply because we think this is the best Italian Restaurant around! We had a wonderful Italian Primativo wine recommended by our waiter, a caprese salad and a main course of the superb Spinach Canneloni. Desert was Spumoni ice cream and... more
I was recently in vancouver on business and heard about Osteria Napoli from some freinds, we decided to give it a try being that it wasnt too far from downtown, about 10 minutes east. On our arrival the outside didnt look too inviting but as we entered our feelings changed very fast, the waiters were very friendly and the ambience... more
