Top Best Italian Restaurants in Granville Island

"The aromas from CinCin’s wood-fired oven have lured diners from Robson Street up its winding stone staircase for more than 30 years. The seasonal, sophisticated Italian menu includes both classic (ricotta gnocchi) and contemporary (duck with ash-roasted carrots) options. It’s a great date spot, with a gorgeous setting and year-round terrace."

"There's something about Italian food that just feels romantic. Throw in a wood-fired oven and a warm room and your next date night is about to take it up a notch. Follow your nose along Robson Street and make your way up the winding terracotta stairway to CinCin."

"Cioppino’s is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants across Canada. Perhaps the most famous restaurant for light but fancy pasta dishes. It is noteworthy that « Pino », which is referred to as « Cuchina Natural », uses only the freshest ingredients, and prepares them in ways that allow their strong natural flavours to appear without adding animal fats and other heavy ingredients."

"A post shared by Pino Posteraro (@cioppinosyaletown) on Nov 5, 2018 at 12:39pm PST. Cioppino’s offers classic Mediterranean cooking (and amazing pasta) in the heart of Yaletown. With Chef-Owner Giuseppe “Pino” Posteraro at the helm of the kitchen, diners are always in good hands here."

"Your friendly neighbourhood pizzeria in Commercial Drive, complete with a Neapolitan-style wood-burning oven!. Marcello is a firm favorite among Italian food lovers, and brings you that cozy comforting feeling with every bite you take of their amazing pizza pies, and pastas. They also made it to our 10 Best Pizza Spots in Vancouver list."

"Born in the City of Delights, or more commonly known as Palermo, Italy, Marcello fell in love with cooking from a young age. Influenced by the crystal clear water, the flavours of the culturally-rich air, and a little encouragement from his mother,"

"This “dignified spaghetti joint” offers big portions of homestyle Italian cooking in a friendly atmosphere on Robson Street. All the classics are present, from bruschetta and spaghetti al ragu to chicken parm. A great place for large groups, Zefferelli’s has tailored menus that make ordering easy."

"I have ordered from them several times and the food is ways great. The food is authentic. I would highly recommend."

"Novo Pizzeria focuses on rustic Italian food, with it's star dish being their Neapolitan style pizza. These pizzas are cooked at a high temperature of 900 degrees in their wood burning oven; the thin crust cooks to perfection, while maintaining the integrity of the delicious toppings. If you're not in the mood for pizza, there are many other comforting items to order."

"This hidden Kitsilano gem has some amazing wood-fired pizza. And now you can enjoy it at home!. Plus you can order a bottle of wine or two to enjoy alongside your tasty pie."

"Jericho Beach is a lovely stretch of sandy oceanfront between the Kitsilano and West Point Grey neighborhoods—but it's so much more than that. It's home to some of Vancouver's posher facilities, like the members-only Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and Jericho Tennis Club, as well as tennis courts that are open to the public. While Vancouver's beaches can be enjoyed from shore or by taking a dip in the ocean, one of the most exciting ways to experience them is to get way out in the water."

"If you prefer simple over fancy and pretty over expensive then Jericho Beach is the best place to be at. Home to the annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival, the beach is very beautiful and suitable for swimming, windsurfing and sailing. But if you are not in the mood for an adventure then you can simply take a stroll or rejuvenate and indulge in some recreational activities such as volleyball and tennis and have the time of your life."

"An activity-lover's idyll, Jericho is great if you just want to putter along the beach, clamber over driftwood and catch stunning views of downtown. It's popular with locals on summer evenings, so expect..."

"Lined with logs for the sun spectators, this is the place to reflect on the day and take a few photos of some of the most vibrant sunsets you’ll probably ever see in your life. Sunset Beach Park is also home to an interesting art piece called Engagement, a 30 foot sculpture of two wedding rings. These were created by world famous artist Dennis Oppenheim, as part of the Vancouver Biennale."

"Sunset Beach is a popular destination, especially in the summer, but the green space behind the beach is equally as popular with locals looking for a place to play a game of soccer, meet friends and soak up the sunshine. Grab a drink from the concession stand and spread out on the grass - on a very hot day you might see someone bringing a slip N slide for everyone to slide down the hill."

"Sunset Beach Park does not put its name to shame, and the stunning sunsets you’ll see here while chatting with a friend over a few bites or brews will be worth the wait. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kritsada Akkhapracha (@fedexfc)"

"A post shared by Broken Hops Glass (@brokenhopsglassco) on Jun 21, 2018 at 10:20am PDT.

"Vancouver's most romantic old-school tower block, and also its best art-deco building, the elegant 22-story Marine Building is a tribute to the city's maritime past. Check out its elaborate exterior of seahorses, lobsters and streamlined steamships, and then nip into the lobby, which is like a walk-through artwork. Stained-glass panels and a polished floor inlaid with signs of the zodiac await."

"Photo: https://forbiddenvancouver.ca   /2018/05/18/the-marine-building/. I consider the Marine Building to be one of the most exquisite examples of Art Deco today. This 22-storey construction is considered by many to be one of the most well-preserved and significant edifices from the 1920s."

"This art deco masterpiece has stood in for some of the most famous buildings in comic book history. Vancouver, British Columbia"

"George Wainborn Park in Yaletown brings together Vancouver’s beautiful nature and it’s urban architecture in close proximity, delivering space to lounge around and bring a picnic, juxtaposed against the hustle and bustle of the city.
