Love love this place! We had an amazing experience! Food is Authentic and Fresh!
The fresh buffalo mozzarella was to die for and the tagliatelle with Pistacchio cream too! Everything that we ordered was super delicious!
Thanks we will be back soon
Love, love, love ❤️ La Piazza Dario. Our family has had many celebrations at this restaurant. We were just there on Sunday night to celebrate my father’s 90th birthday. The only place my father wanted to go to. Love the atmosphere, love the food, and Lidia is the best hostess and accomodates all your needs. We will keep going back as long as they are there. Thank you again for a lovely evening from the entire LEPORE family😊😊
La Piazza Dario Ristorante位於溫哥華的義大利文化中心內，早於1977年開業至今已營運超過四十年了，提供絕對正宗和有水準的義大利餐飲。2013年更獲Vancouver Magazine頒授"Best Pasta"及"Best Upscale Italian"的獎項。餐廳的室內佈置和裝飾別具一格，首先經過正門入口旁是一個有蓋的戶外用餐區，再入內便是充滿義大利古典味道的餐房。整個餐房到處都擺放著花瓶和雕像藝術品，牆壁也掛上不少油畫，感覺有如身處藝術博物館裡。
第一籃麵包和蘸醬是餐廳免費附送的，蘸醬不是常見的義大利橄欖油加黑醋，而是橄欖油和欖角蓉，非常特別也好吃，但注意這裡想要添加麵包的話可要按人數收費啊，餐牌上列明「Additional basket of bread–$2 per person」
Antipasto “la piazza” $16 ~ 這冷盤包括兩款切成薄片的Parma Ham火腿和莎樂美腸，再配搭多款芝士和醬菜，份量可供二人享用。
Cannelloni alla romana $18 ~ Cannelloni是一款裡面包著餡料的義大利麵卷，字義本身就是"粗粗管子"的意思。管子內填入波菜跟義式白醬Bechamel Sauce和芝士，最後淋上蕃茄醬。
Penne alla Bolognese $17 ~ Penne又被稱為水管通粉，因其形狀近似筆管而得名。通粉的質感軟中帶點彈性，醬汁基本配以白醬汁、紅醬汁或香草醬汁，而這份餐用了紅色的蕃茄肉醬
Pollo al gorgonzola $18 ~ 這是一份用藍黴芝士作烹飪醬汁的煎雞肉，藍黴芝士Gorgonzola Cheese 是以青黴菌發酵而成，使其表面有一些藍色的斑紋而得名。除了單獨食用外，也常用作烹飪醬汁
Classic decor, warm service, authentic Italian cuisine, delicious dessert cannoli ! Kept coming back to this old favorite. Friendly staff made us feel welcomed.
The food is fresh, flavourful, and simply delicious, but I haven't dined here in a while because the last few times I went, the service was very arrogant, and left a bad taste in my mouth.
Really good food!. It's really good. Especially in the summer on the outdoor patio deck.
If you don't have an Italian nonna. Dario's is a lot like the Cannery used to be - a long-established institution - if you want a cutting-edge culinary experience, go elsewhere.
What you get at Dario's, though, is the real Italian deal. Home-made gnocci, beautiful bread to dip in sun dried tomato and olive oil. The pasta dishes are good - my favourite is the tortellini all brodo.
And the zabagloine made right at the table is heaven.
Bella!. Real, professional waiters and the owners are always present inside and outside the kitchen. The perfectly grilled T-bone steak is my favourite in Vancouver. The pasta and fish are always done to perfection. This is a great spot for a long lazy lunch accompanied by good company and reasonably priced fine wine.
Patriarch. Our family had a faulous dinner last night at Dario's la Piazza Ristorante. The total experience was awesome. Food was great, service and ambience were excellent. All 10 meals were sooooo tasty and served promptly. We cannot say one negative comment. Have been going there for years and will certainly continue!!
A small fancy family owned Italian restaurant by the Italian cultural center. They have a lot of wines here so if you are a wine enthusiast you should probably come by. As with most Italian restaurants, our meal came with bread. It had a nice crispy crunchy exterior with a soft interior, perfect bread.
I had a work event that brought me to the Italian Cultural Center one weekday afternoon. Little did I know that the " Dario " restaurant that I had passed so many times in my childhood / commutes / trips downtown was a classy stop for lunch or dinner! It
It was our first time dining at this restaurant after living in around the area for a long time. The buratta salad was my favorite very creamy. I got the pistachio pasta which was light but creamy. The raspberry sorbet was amazing and the St. honore cake was a wonderful surprise. I've never had one before so it was like eating 3 desserts in 1. Overall I really enjoyed our experience here. The server was amazing and kind. I dropped a star because I believe some of the dishes are a little overpriced.
We waited for 30 mins on a Wednesday evening but it was totally worth it! (We did not have a reservation)
Food was exquisite! We had cannelloni and tortellini, they were both super flavorful and delicious. Also had the veal special which was grilled to perfection, very tender and juicy, served on a hot plate, at the right time. However, St. Honore cake was a little underwhelming compared to other dishes.
Service was very warm and serving of every course was timed with precision. The interior was Florentine style and the ambiance was very romantic with candle light and soft jazz, allowing intimacy. It is a nice place to bring a date, or even propose.
Cute spacious restaurant in the Italian cultural centre. Plenty of parking. The entrance to the restaurant is parallel to Slocan so you just need to walk around. Very authentic , large menu and great service. I ordered the mushroom tagliatelle which has very generous portions.

FIRST TIME HERE. HAD AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
SERVICE WAS BEYOND ANYTHING, WE'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN QUITE SOME TIME. YOU JUST DON'T FIND TOP NOTCH SERVICE ANYMORE THESE DAYS, EXCEPT HERE, AT LA PIAZZA DARIO. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH, THE HIGH LEVEL OF DETAILED SERVICE WE WERE ATTENDED WITH.
THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. NEVER HAD ANY PIECE OF MEAT IN MY LIFE, MELT IN MY MOUTH THE WAY THE BEEF TENDERLOIN, AND VEAL FILLETS DID. AND I'VE HAD SOME VERY NICE TENDERLOIN, BUT NOT AS NICE AS THIS.
THE HOUSE RED WINE WAS SUPER ROBUST, AND FILLED WITH AROMATIC FLAVOURS.
DESSERT WAS SECOND TO NONE. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD, WE HAD TWO EACH.
We had an Italian charcuterie board to start, followed by spaghettini and meatballs for myself, and my brother had the Veal Cannelloni.
My apologies for not taking photos sooner.
We were starving, and we just started to dig in, as soon as the food arrived.
They started us off with slices of an Italian artisan baguette bread, with a black olive tapenade, which had plenty of olive oil, and black olive tapenade.
.
My brother ordered the, Beef Tenderloin, with a light Peppercorn sauce, seasonal veggies, and a potato puree.
.
I ordered the Veal Fillets cooked with fresh citrus fruit, and seasonal veggies consisting of broccoli, beet, and potato puree.
.
Time for dessert.
.
1. Chocolate torte with chocolate ganache mousse.
2. St. Honoré cake, with cream filled cream puff.
3. Tiramisu
4. Chocolate Ganache cheese cake.
.
We've had about 5 courses at this point, and we want something a lil extra to top off the night.
Ooooo., course number 6, an after dinner liquid digestive. In other words, old school cold Grappa, vs new age warmed Cognac.
All that was missing was a big fat nicely rolled Cuban, to finish the night.
Hope you enjoy the pictures, as much as we enjoyed our meal.
BRAVO!!!, BRAVO!!!, BRAVO!!!
👍🏼💪🏼👀👌🏼✌🏼🙏🏼♥️😊

My wife and I keep forgetting about Dario's. It's been around for 40 plus years and over the years people have suggested us to try it. I am glad we finally did. Plenty of free parking at the Italian Cultural Centre. The ambience is very Italian. Surprisingly lot of natural lighting. A great menu selection. Had some of my favourite appetizers so ordered two as per photos. Both were delicious with great flavours. Our pastas were pretty well dead on and the temperature was perfect. The only that was maybe not up to our standard or to the rest of the food that we ordered was the Chocolate Mouse dessert. All the food came out quickly. We finished our dinner in about an hour which is fine because we had dog duty waiting at home. We would recommend and go back again
Squisito! Delicious Italian food at reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I came here for the first time and only by chance as I have an appointment nearby. I can already say that I will definitely be coming back. Try the tiramisu. Thank me later.
