Irony of ironies: a recent fire has closed the heritage Gastown location, but the phoenix rose long ago at Incendio's West side branch, doing downtown one better with a heated patio and lounge area favored by both sports fans and the pre-show crowd from next door Fifth Ave Cinemas. Pizzas are the main draw in this Tuscan-hued space, but there's a good range of decently-priced pasta dishes for... more
Attached to the arty Fifth Avenue Cinema, it’s a shoo-in for a pre-movie bite.
