Osteria Elio Volpe

I’ve visited Elio Volpe for brunch and dinner and have enjoyed our meal every time! The space is bright, contemporary and beautifully designed. Our server was very attentive as well.nnDon’t skip out on the appetizers - we loved the house rolls with brown butter, baccala mantecato dish, and the homemade chips were soo good. Not pictured is the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, if you enjoy super thin/crispy pizzas, it’s a must order. Overall I actually prefer the design and ambiance of this restaurant over Savio Volpe but both are amazing!

Initially reserved bar seating but since someone else canceled last minute we were able to sit at a table. The interior design is spacious and contemporary which makes a comfortable dining experience, there are many seating options but noise levels can be elevated during busy hours. Culinary Italian favourites, seasonal menu changes, with a small hint of Asian cuisine influence. The drinks are pretty good. Porcelain dishware is practical but nothing fancy. Service was also really good!

Came for brunch to celebrate a birthday, and the food was excellent. The chicken waffles and the beef short rib were particularly nice. Service was friendly and fast. The restaurant was very loud and it was hard to hear everyone at our table - the tables are large so everyone is shouting across the tables at each other, making it very noisy. Come here for some nice food, but not for a quiet or romantic meal.

The perfect brunch spot. This place takes reservations which is hard to come by in Vancouver which guarantees you a spot on a busy weekend. We had three dishes which I recommend all of them: Braised Short Rib, Brioche French Toast and Thick Cut Bacon. However my favorite part of the meal was the hot chocolate I ordered. A true classic hot chocolate made in a pot with melted chocolate. The thick homemade marshmallow took over the entire top of the drink and was delicious. Best hot chocolate I have ever had maybe even more of a dessert, but the best part was that it was only $5…… cheaper than a Starbucks hot coco and 10x better. One of the best brunch places in Vancouver.

Had an amazing brunch experience at Osteria Elio Volpe in Vancouver. The space itself is modern, bright, and beautifully designed, with warm wood accents and a relaxed but refined atmosphere. It feels both stylish and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a slow meal with friends.nnThe food was the real highlight. We started with their Eggs Benedict — perfectly poached eggs with a rich, silky hollandaise that spilled over tender lobster and fresh greens. The crispy potatoes on the side were addictive, with a crunchy exterior and soft inside. The large pizza came out hot and fragrant, loaded with toppings like smoky bacon, mushrooms, herbs, and just the right amount of cheese — thin crust with a little char that gave it a beautiful texture.nnFor something lighter, the waffle topped with fresh berries, edible flowers, and a drizzle of custard cream was a delightful finish — sweet but balanced, and plated beautifully. Even the little details stood out, like the complimentary star-shaped cookie and the iced chocolate drink with citrus zest that felt refreshing and unique.nnEvery dish we had looked as good as it tasted, and the service was attentive without being rushed. This was one of those meals where everything — from the ambiance to the flavors — came together perfectly.
