Our server Simon was one of the best. He took such good care of our group and went above and beyond what I have ever seen from any other server. Made our dining experience and special birthday celebration, that much more special and memorable. Guests were raving about the location and food and many will return for the impeccable service Simon provided! Job well done!
I visited this place a couple of days ago, and my experiences absolute exceeded my expectations. Very cheerful and polite waitresses, quick service, great food, even if there were lots of guests. We got a welcome slice of pizza when we entered. During every course at least once a waitress came to us and asked if anything is okay, how is the food, or refilled our water glass. They had a great sense of humour, too, overall it was a great experience.
So I was quite suprised when I checked its fb page and saw many bad reviews. Probably there were some radical changes recently...
I came here on Tuesday for their pasta special - $13 for pasta and $5 house wine. Great deal and the truffle spaghetti with meatballs is very filling and rich!
Had to wait 40 minutes for a table but we understood because we had no reservations and it's a Tuesday. Once seated, the food came very fast and service was still great.

Time for round 2 of Dineout Vancouver 2019! A place that we had yet to visit was Trattoria Burnaby and from what I’ve been reading, they had a pretty good line-up of items so we decided to head there for dinner. Remember how I said that Trattoria Burnaby had a good line up of items? Well…as soon as we got settled…our server told us that they ran out of their brushetta appetizer, their prosciutto wrapped cod and their canolis! So in other words…they didn’t have half of their menu options available. Needless to say, it was a disappointment because we came because they had those 3 items.
We had a 4 course meal here, the appetizer was not to be very delighted about, but the main course and desert were exceptionally good. The ambience of the restaurant is more like fine dining and the food is not very high priced. Enjoy!
I’m glad that she made a reso because it is very busy on Trattoria Tuesdays, where all of their pastas are on sale for $13.00. We came early around 5:30, and there was already a line forming. If you’re coming on a Tuesday, making a reservation is a really good idea or you’ll have to wait.
One of the three Trattoria restaurants under the Glowbal Restaurant Group is located in Burnaby on Kingsway street in the same building with Element Vancouver and GoodLife Fitness, across from Crystal Mall. Trattoria Burnaby is know for their in house pasta, pizza, and a more casual family friendly atmosphere compared to sister restaurant Italian Kitchen.

Tuesday, My boyfriend, our friend and I had pasta for dinner at TRATTORIA Burnaby Location. We had an OK experience dining out there to eat something different.
Trattoria is an Italian restaurant. There are three locations in the Great Vancouver area, include Kitsilano, Park Royal, and Burnaby. We’ve been to the Burnaby location since it’s closer to our place. We arrived at the restaurant around 6 pm. It was super busy. I believe it’s because of the Pasta Tuesday. We had to wait for more than 30 mins to get into the restaurant. Trattoria has very great customer service team. The servers brought the small food samples to customers who are waiting outside to have a taste, which was awesome.
After waiting for about 45 mins, we finally got into the restaurant and had a seat. We began to order the food and server brought us cold ice water. The menu is very easy and simple. There are no many selections from this place. Pizza, Pasta, salad, and drinks. Since it’s Pasta day (all the kinds of pasta are around $12 and the regular prices are $24), we all ordered Pasta for dinner. My boyfriend had Truffled Spaghetti & Signature Meatball for $12 (regular price $24.95). Our friend and I ordered Crab & Lobster Ravioli (regular price $24.95). Besides that, we also ordered Sicilian Calamari and Bread to share. The regular prices of Cheese Bread and Garlic Bread were $7.50 each. Since it was still in the happy hours, the bread was $4.50. All the food were super expensive in this place.
About 10 ~ 15 mins waiting, our food came out of the kitchen. The first was Sicilian Calamari which made by Sicilian olives, capers, spicy tomato sauce. It was not in the large portion, but it was enough for three people to share as an appetizer. The Calamari was very fresh and soft. The taste was unique. We loved it. Later on, our Crab & Lobster Ravioli and bread were on the table. We were a little disappointed with them. There are only six pieces of Ravioli in the plate. We didn’t see any crab & lobster. We guess the crab & lobster meat are in the ravioli. The taste of the pasta was so-so, not that great. It was really not worth the price. Both Cheese Bread and Garlic Bread were the same. They were all in the super small slices and nothing excited. We could also make those bread at home. $7.50 and $4.50 were super over prices. Not worth. My boyfriend had Truffled Spaghetti & Signature Meatball (truffle cream and herbed ricotta) which was good and better than our dishes. We all believed that we paid the customer service and dining experience at this restaurant, not the food.
I was kindly invited by the General Manager of Trattoria to sample some of their new dishes earlier this month. I had the opportunity to try a variety of their classics as well as their new dishes. Trattoria Burnaby is located across from Crystal Mall in Burnaby. They have a medium sized patio for sunny days as well as spacious indoor seating for those rainy Vancouver days.
Came here on "Tratt Tuesday" ($13 pastas). It was very busy but the servers were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend making reservations. They have $4 house wine, and starters for $4 in addition to the discounted pastas. Husband got the crab and lobster ravioli, it was excellently made and flavourful. I got the spaghetti and meatballs - meatballs were excellently spiced, and the pasta was cooked al dente. The sauce was clearly homemade, but it did have too many onions that weren't cooked as much as I'd like, and I got a half clove of garlic in my sauce. $55 for two of us for dinner - excellent price! Would return.
Trattoria is one of many of Glowbal group’s ventures. The original location is in Vancouver but they’ve expanded to a second location in Burnaby for a few years now. AngryRussian and I decided to go for their “Tratt Tuesday” which means any of their pastas for $13!
Went here as a group of 7, only waited like 3 mins for them to set up our table. Service was amazing from the start and continued being amazing. The waiter was very attentive and was on the ball with re filling drinks and looking after us. Starters were pretty good, but my main course (spaghetti and meatballs) was only alright. The spaghetti itself was kind of bland, but the meatballs were actually quite nice. A tiny bit spicy and easy to eat. Overall a pretty good experience and might return, if only for the excellent service.
I recommend you make dinner reservations especially if it’s close to the weekend. We missed the happy hour which is from 2 – 5 pm or from 9 pm til closing. They have a good selection on the menu. The best value was the 3 type of platter dishes – 1) Antipasto – enough for 2 to 3 people 2) Pasta platter – looked delish but no one wanted to share with me 3) Carne platter. I saw other tables ordering the antipasto platter so we did the same. Our other diner had the braised lamb with risotto. The meat was cooked to perfection (the meat fell off the bone) as promised by our server. Another diner had a popular spaghetti and meatballs in truffle cream. There was something about the meatballs that wasn’t wowing.
Service was great especially asking the server for recommendations. If you can’t choose, ask your server. The challenge is parking. There is no free parking. They’re located on the busy intersection on the northeast corner of Willingdon and Kingsway. Not far from Metrotown Mall.
My friend decided to take me out for my Birthday, as this was my first trip to Vancouver/Burnaby! We came across this local restaurant through Google.
Rebekah, our waitress, and the two men that helped her were amazing and so friendly! We had the spaghetti and meatballs and Gelato for dessert! I have never had such good Italian food or service before! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a restaurant that has an entire staff of helpful and charismatic people, with insanely tasty food to boot! P.s. They even got us seated right away, on an insanely busy night! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
I had the ragu which I thought was very well done. Prices are a little high but they have a pasta Tuesday deal which is well worth it. Beautiful dishware. We had great service! Parking can be tricky on the street level but there’s pay parking underground.
We like Tratt Tue, $16 pasta. It used to be half price Tuesday before.
My spaghetti meatballs with tomato basil sauce was excellent. Caesar salad was great too. Dessert was Tiramisu, very good too. We will be back for the Tratt Tuesday.👍
