i was recommended this spot by a friend for good italian and a good vibe. boy was she spot on! the interior was cozy, intimate and cute!

The waiter working tonight wS amazing!! i couldn't catch his name but he provided excellent service and was so attentive and kind.

Now for the food. my friend and i both ordered the gnocchi with burrata and woww. so delicious. we also decided to split a dessert and couldn't decide between the tirimisu and the chocolate mousse. we ended up choosing the tirimisu and was pleasantly surprised when the waiter brought out both options, and said the mousse was on him tonight. sooo sweet of him. totally going above and beyond.

the drinks were definitely on the pricy side ($15-20 each), so we decided to just grab fountain drinks.

for location, It's on the edge of gastown but this is such a great option if you're visiting the area!

The service was spectacular. The poached pear salad was very big a lot of pear which was sweet and spiced.the burrata cheese from Italy was perfect with prosciutto. The pasta carbonara was perfectly cooked and was absolutely superb. five star.

great service and great food. server was very friendly, helpful and considerate.
its on the small side but def an easy recommendation for pasta lovers

If you're looking for high-quality Italian food, this is the place to go. It's a very intimate setting with only a few tables and dim lighting. The food is excellent and the service is friendly.

This intimate space feels like a pasta boutique. If you're like my next door neighbour who watches through the front door all day to make sure nobody else's leaves touches their esteemed but underwhelming lawn, you may find the experience to social for your introverted liking. In true European fashion they've managed to maximize a small space luxuriously.
Prosciutto and burrata was the perfect start. I go to an Italian restaurant, I need bread, oil and cheese faster than chatGPT wrote my cover letter. Top tier burrata and a proper melt-in-your-mouth prosciutto. Perfect fat content and an overwhelming portion for two people. Quattro formaggio gnocchi was creamy, cheesy, cooked properly, well balanced and fun to say. Would smash. Lobster and crab ravioli tasted of the sea a little too much for my liking. However the prawns were phenomenal. I would eat an entire plate of those prawns. Tiramisu had a good balance of flavour however it wasn't quite set yet. The bottom was unfortunately still slimy. Imagine eating a really good sandwich, but with a soggy, bottom slice of bread. That's how it felt. Shout out the Soggy Bottom Boys.
It's like K-os said, no time to get down cause I'm movin' up. It felt like a crab bucket situation. One dish elevates your senses, another dish pulls it back. When the bill came, our bellies were full and the venue was charming. Ultimately, Robba da Matti felt like it was Robba ma money.

This may have been the best pasta I have ever ate in my entire life.

When choosing a place for Dine Out Vancouver, everything seemed the same to me. I only knew one thing, i felt like eating Italian food. In the past I've never splurged on Italian food, just the usual Olive Garden, Basil Pasta Bar or even a good ol jar of sauce and Ikea meatballs. But let me tell you, after coming here, I don't think I can look at Pasta the same way.

The pesto gnocchi ($55 per set menu) was by far the best option they had imo. Of course the appetizer and tiramisu were incredible and I especially enjoyed the fresh complimentary fresh bread, but the pasta was out of this world. The sauce was so flavourful and complex but so simple. It was like a soup I could eat on its own. The burrata added a fresh, creamy component that brought the dish together. And finally you can't forget the gnocchi. Somehow they managed the create a cloud that had the perfect bite. So soft and pillowy yet the perfect fulfilling bite you look for in pasta. I don't know whose Nonna they have back there, but shes amazing and deserves a raise.

Overall 10/10 experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming (especially since it was our first time and we don't regularly eat fancy food). While the restaurant was small, the vibe was very cute and cozy. This + the deliciousness of the meal = this being one of my top fav Vancouver restaurants!!

Delicious pasta dishes and quick service! Very easy to make reservations as well. I personally ordered the Parpadelle "Rosche Rosche" and the balance of the pasta, sauce, and meat was perfect, highly recommend!

This has been my go to italian spot for the past year. The food is honestly my favourite and i keep coming back. The service and food is always consistent and price point is reasonable considering the quality of food. I do recommend making reservations a head of time.

One of my favourite Italian food places in Vancouver... went to Kitsilano and it is a perfect date place! :)

I am tourist in town and known to be a foodie as I am in the business. This restaurant was small and a bit bare on the ambiance but the food and service were superb. Here for only a week and this place deserves a return visit. My compliments to the chef. A memorable meal!!
