Excellent place to have dinner. The vegetarian pizza was yum! Service was good. Staff is very friendly and pleasant. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking at night.
So it's overall a good place to spend an evening.
This place has redeemed themselves. I've been wanting to write this review for a while but haven't gotten around to it. Long story short, a while back I went with some co-workers for lunch...A server dropped a drink on the table and as a result the broken glass had cut my hand. We weren't pleased with the way the situation was handled and wrote to the management. The woman (sorry forgot her name) who got back to us was incredibly professional and handled the situation in such a positive way that we returned and have gone back since. Accidents happen, but it's how you handle them once done that is important. She completely stepped up and that is rare.
The patio is beautiful and on one evening they had live music which was enjoyable. They have great drink specials and nothing is better than sangria on the patio. The food is delicious and you can't beat the view. Clearly management cares at this place and it shows!

Pleasantly Surprised. So we had a bad experience with Mahony & Sons and walked a few doors up to try this place out. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's pretty extravagant on the inside...squishy chairs, Italian prints everywhere but still simply done, it was quite nice inside.
We went in the wrong door but the bartender directed us down and a server immediately attended to us and had us seated by a window with a view into the kitchen as well. After about 5 minutes we realized she'd cleaned our table and forgotten to hand us our menus but that was fine because 2-3 minutes later she was back to get our orders and we joked about the menu thing (clean tables are more important anyway).
We ordered a couple of pops and a 16" fire cooked pizza that was half smoked salmon and prawn with capers and red onion (which turned out to be more of a caramelized onion not raw like most people do) and half olive/goat cheese/sundried tomato. The pizza took 20 minutes to cook, which was fine, and the toppings weren't overwhelming on the pizza, just a nice light dusting of ingredients. When it arrived somehow they'd forgotten the sundried tomatoes and the capers. We asked the waitress about it she apologized, went to the cook, and got us two little metal gravy boats loaded with salted capers in one and sundried tomatoes in the other. We must have gotten twice the amount normally put on the pizzas. Honestly it's better that way...we loaded up our slices with the appropriate topping that'd been missing and picked at the rest until they were all gone.
Honestly, I'm glad we ended up there instead of waiting out the servers at Mahony's. Good service, good food, and we left stuffed. The server assigned to us was not always as attentive as one would expect with it so quiet but the poor woman was always busy, sweeping up after a couple of really little kids who'd been tossing food - that takes patience to do with as pleasant a demeanor as she had. Kids are messy and this place, as classy a joint as it's trying to be, does a good job of taking care of what goes with having families in for lunch and dinner.
I would definitely eat there again!
Brekkie with a view (not quite the Bellagio!). Came here for brekkie two days in a row in Vancouver and the location is fantastic spot - beautiful views that you can look out at as you wait for your breakfast. We each ordered omelette's and my fiance (being a health freak) made some slight 'amendments' to the menu requesting a vegetarian egg-white only with no cheese or hasbrowns - what she got she described as the best omelette she's ever had. My italian omelette (with a side of bacon) was also very good, they did forget to provide toast though. While it was a bit of a risk, we thought we'd try for day two and headed back the following morning. It was pretty busy and service was pretty slow, they also brought out hashbrowns when requested not to but apologised advising the kitchen was getting a bit frantic. Omelette was still amazing, views were beautiful and made it a great wee spot for morning breakfast.
Great Italian Food!!. Myself and my husband went for dinner to the Bellaggio on Thursday night. We decided to take advantage of the patio, which has an amazing view. We ordered fire prawns, calamari and a pizza and seafood platter main course. The food arrived really quickly even though the place was busy. Starters were absolutely amazing , thin crust pizza full of flavor and seafood fresh and delicious. And you must try the homemade tiramisu, it's to die for!! Our server was very friendly and professional. All over we were very happy and will definitely go back!
Fantastic Breakfast. Myself and my partner chose to have breakfast at the bellaggio last week upon the recommendation from the concierge at our hotel. It was a beautiful sunny morning so we sat outside to take in the view and to take advantage of the warm weather.
We were served straight away and it wasn't long before we were sipping our lattes and tucking into bacon and eggs (sausage in my partners case)!!
Our server was very friendly and efficient, she was also very helpful with helping us plan our upcoming trip to Ireland being Irish herself.
We frequently visit Vancouver and will definitely go back to dine at the bellaggio. And would highly recommend others to give the place a try.
Excellent food and service. All pizzas are now $10, I got one that was worth $17 down to $10 and to be honest I would have paid the $17. It was a Delicious Italian style pizza, fresh ingredients and tasty toppings. I would highly advise all you pizza lovers to give it a try.
Great location, very good food and very attentive and friendly staff (especially Matt the Aussie). Would recommend!
GREAT NIGHT OUT! Went to Laziza last night for dinner. And I must say first off, the service was great! The staff was very friendly. They also suggested some great dishes. The lamb chops were amazing! My girlfriend ordered the "Chicken Shish Taouk" and the chicken was so full of flavor and juicy. I ordered the "Gourmet Grill" which included lamb chops and tiger prawns. The dish was amazing. Again the lamb chops were so full of flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!
Very unique. My husband and I went on a date and we chose to eat in a different style of eatery. Laziza it was. The atmosphere was excellent, the food was so tasty and the service was awesome. A friendly staff made the evening really enjoyable. I recomend it for any visitors and locals. Oh, and the falafel was the best we ever tasted.
Came here a few days ago with a group of about 20 for a birthday party. Stayed for hours, spent lots of money and had an overall wonderful night. The servers and bartender were fantastic and I was surprised at how organized they were dealing with a table of about 20. Delicious food and great drinks, would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to the staff for a great time!
Fantastic service. I had the best service I've ever had at a restaurant and I eat out A LOT. Great recommendations and the food was fantastic. Not a single bad thing to say about this small eatery. Great find!

"Confusing" service but will be back!. I want to start by saying the food/ambiance is amazing and this IS a positive post! We were dining at Laziza for the first time this past weekend. We were instantly greeted by the hostess she was very pleasant and made us feel welcome, told us about the specials and her favorites… we were off to a good start...
Then things got a bit confusing as we had a gentlemen server great us but seemed out of breath and “confused”. He was nice and took our drink/food orders at once then was gone for a while, after 5mins the hostess brought us our drinks and asked what we decided on ordering and again we had some pleasant interaction. Then the server returned and said “Oh you got your drinks?!” (“confused” again) and walked away. Pretty much after that we never saw our server again until it was time for bill and payment. We observed a bit and it seemed the hostess was a server too as she had her own tables but was running around and helping out as we clearly needed it, either way she and the bus boy made our somewhat "confusing" serving experience better and we will definitely return!
Best lamb I've ever had!. This restaurant is top notch! I loved everything. We had the sampler platter for an appy and it was delish . Also, the cauliflower appy is a must try (not something I'd normally order, but really glad I did). I had the lamb dinner and it was the best lamb I've ever had.
I'll definitely be returning.
Always Amazing. Been there several times to the point where even the waitress recognizes us by name. The food has always been stellar, the staff very attentive and even on a fully booked night, they try to accomodate folks without making you feel like a loser for not making reservations.
An awesome place in the Westend, where you can have a real conversation with your friends and not fight the clatter and din of the kitchen or the loud music. Very refreshing!! For the folks who have given it bad reviews, I would be very surprised if that is not a pattern for them in any restaurant. We have traveled globally and been in restaurants all over the world. It is not a picnic for those who work in food service, but we are very attentive to little detail and know the losers from the winners! And Laziza is an absolute winner, three times over!!
AMAZING BRUNCH!. So when I heard Laziza opened up on weekends for brunch, I rushed over there with two girlfriends in hand, and was so happy I did. The lamb sausage tagine was to die for. Full of flavour, bit of a kick, with veggies and a poached egg all cooked in a juicy tomato sauce.
For those who enjoy traditional dishes, you must try the Belila. Warm and cozy, just what I needed for my Sunday morning hangover :)
Really nice little place. Delicious beautiful food. Just a little pricy but really good food. I will be going back.
I love this Hidden Gem!. I was in Laziza last night and actually was in for dinner on Sunday too, it seems I have acquired an addiction to the crispy cauliflower! We also had a few other recommended appies and all were great. The service was some of the best I’ve received in a long time, they were very busy but still were able to provide great service, were attentive and entertaining, even the bartender was chatting to us while making some very intricate and fascinating drinks!
All in all we love this hidden gem and recommend it to everyone!
Celiac vegetarian friendly!!. Laziza has an extensive gluten-free menu, much of which is vegan and vegetarian! I was thrilled to discover it, as dining out as a celiac can be trying and frustrating. The food is beautifully presented and the spices are divine. I had Koshery, a lentil and rice dish with eggplant and caramelized onions that was a perfect blend of spices. It was to die for. Reasonably priced for the quality of food and the nice atmosphere of the restaurant.
Agree with other US reviewers that "raved" about the food. We bought Living Social promotion & were BLOWN away with food. Had cauliflower appy N lsmb sausages as well. Chicken & seafood tanguine & gourmet grill for mains N shared flourless chocolate cake for desert. Everything was fantasstic. Highly recommended

Amazing!. I have never written a review for a restaurant or even for company/service for that matter. We dine out a lot in Vancouver and deal with many different customer service professionals so nothing usually stands out to me. However it has been over a week since our experience at Laziza and with my girlfriends encouragement we wanted to share our experience!
I wanted to take my girlfriend and her parents out for a great evening at a restaurant that had many gluten free options since my girlfriends Mother has eating restrictions. I found Laziza on line along with great reviews so I made a reservation, I asked for a nice table and the lady I spoke to said she definitely has a favorite table and will make sure we get it. As we arrived we were greeted and sat instantly at a table by the window, since it was a beautiful night the window seat was perfect! Once we sat we were greeted by the same lady who I spoke to on the phone, to my surprise she greeted me by name and when handing us our menus she automatically gave my girlfriends Mom a gluten free menu! It seemed from our brief conversation on the phone which was 5 days earlier she remembered me mentioning our gluten free needs! From that moment on it was one thing after another that she and the rest of the amazing staff did to make us feel so taken care of and very welcome there. Our server who I assumed was the owner but later found out was the manager/server helped us choose ALL our drinks, appetizers and entrees, she was very informative with the menu and you could tell she was genuine when explaining her favorite dishes. We were glad we listened to her as our meals were amazing! Favorites definitely were the Appie Sampler, Cauliflower, Lamb Sausages and Chicken Tagine. All in all we were continuously impressed with the food and customer service from all the staff that you don't find often anymore, even my girl friends Dad who seems to be skeptical of "waiters " as he stills calls them was impressed and had a great conversation about travelling with our server! Judging by the vibe in the room I knew we weren't the only ones who had an amazing night!
We will definitely be back!
Love the ambiance. A few co-workers and myself went to Laziza last night for the first time. The food was amazing and so well priced! I believe the place is under new management. We had the opportunity to chat with the new manager (she was lovely) and she recommended the appetizers for us to share. We shared two starters, the crispy cauliflower (WOW) and the Mezza sampler. For my entree I tried the Saffron chicken wrapped prawns and was very impressed. All in all, the food was great, service was great, price was great, I will go back :-)
MY BIRTHDAY DINNER. We were already huge Fans, of the great food and service at Laziza, so much so ,that it was an easy choice for me to introduce this little GEM of a restaurant to my friends.
The service was impeccable, and unobtrusive, and the food was OUSTANDING *****
The guests that were invited are huge foodies and are hard to please.
Hassan and Rick bowled us over with there delicious food and attentive service.
As an employee of the 2 best Hotels in Vancouver, I appreciate their attention to detail to excellent SERVICE
and EVERY PLATE was BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!
I love to see a new establishment where there is so much PASSION, for what they do !!!!!
We had so much Fun tasting each others'
dishes, and there were many groans of pleasure as we did so !!!!!!
Thank-You , so much for an excellent evening !!!!!!!!
I gladly give this Gem 5 STARS *****
PS...Guys I hope we weren't too loud!!
We will see you soon !!!!!!
So good!. All I could say during the meal was "holy crap, this is amazing".
I can say, without hyperbole, that my meal of chicken and crème brûlée (with the complementary pita chips to start) was one of the top 3 meals I've had in the last year and a half.
I truly enjoyed every aspect of this restaurant. The decor is welcoming, the staff are incredible and the food is wonderful.
A WoW Experience. To be honest this my first review of a restaurant ever.
I Usually only do verbal recommendations but after going to Laziza and experiencing the food and the atmosphere I really felt like I wanted to share this experience more than just verbally. It was absolutely amazing. The staff was very calm and professional, They really had us in mind and made sure our experience at Laziza was great.
My partner had the chicken Bedovin which was so unusual and tasteful dish and myself had the Lamb Shank and we shared 2 appies the Artichoke Salad and the crispy Cauliflower. To put this very simple and easy this restaurant was very nice and I will definitively recommend it. Keep up the good job and I will see you guys soon enough :) Thanks.
Laziza is definitely Laziz. I have been to this restaurant twice, and both times, the food and the service has exceeded my expectations. I am not a big fan of lamb, but the Merguez sounded very tempting.. and it lived up to its expectation.. The serving size was good, and the taste was excellent.. My wife, who is not a fan of red meat, loved their Shish Taouk!
and the service was excellent, and the price was very reasonable for the ambiance and dining experience..
we would definitely come back again..
Delicious and Healthy. I look for fresh and healthy when I eat out. I cannot eat foods with gluten or casein; nevertheless, I found many choices on the menu. The duck was a treat as well as the tabbouleh (with no gluten). I enjoy Mediterranean foods, and the food served here was the best in my experience. Everything served was fresh and pleasing to the eye. It was a very pleasant and delicious dining experience.
Wonderful birthday celebration!. We (8 of us) celebrated my birthday at Laziza. It was our first time there and we will definitly be back! Dutch and her staff treated us very well - lots of little touches that helped to make my birthday extra special. Everyone in my party completely enjoyed the food, beverages and the ambiance. A big "thank you" to Dutch & the staff - we wish you much continued success!!!
Exceptional. Amaizing food at reasonable prices. The Babaganough is out of this world. Great presentation. Great atmosphere. Great service. I can't go often enough. You must try this place. Be prepare to be pressed.
Awesome service, food and great value for money.
Tasty food, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. I'll be back. Lamb chops were amazing
Fantastic Food, Fabulous Prices. We decided to try this new restaurant, and are we glad we did. The place is really great -- the hostess "Dutch" is very friendly and pleasant, the staff are all friendly and helpful. The Food! Oh my! This is a place you really need to visit. Last friday we had the special, Filet Mignon for $15.95 -- it was awesome! We have been going now for about 5 weeks, every friday night and have never been disappointed. It is getting busier and busier as word gets out -- be there early to get a good table! The martini's are excellent -- $6 -- a great buy. I have never been so excited about a new restaurant before -- Davie Street has needed this for a long time. Ya Gotta Visit!
Great Find. This was a total chance find and one of the best restaurants I've ever simply walked into without knowing a thing about. The woman who owns the place, Dutch(?), was hands down the nicest host I've ever met at a restaurant. The wait staff are easy going, attentive, professional and friendly. The food was insanely good.
Even had the very reasonable prices been twice what they were I would have still left more than satisfied. I'd recommend the 30 dollar dinner for two. Try the cocktail called the Turkish Delight that mixes black pepper vodka and strawberries. One of the best drinks I've ever had. Oh, all the meat is hormone and antibiotic free, a quality those of us in the states are used to paying a premium for. Not here though. The ambiance is brilliant as well. If I lived in Vancouver I'd eat here at least once a week.
Loved it!!!!. About time!!!!
Vancouver has needed a classy middle eastern food place for a while, this is it!!! Loved the food, the combos are amazing, great service, the pricing is right on the mark, great drinks menu and fantastic atmosphere. I will be back...
Just Great. Went to Lazziza for the first time Friday and was very pleasently surprised, great food excellent service and good prices...The Manager Dutch is from the old Delilahs and brings with her the expertise to make a great restaurant with fun staff good food and very pleasent surroundings a great addition to Davie Street...Geofff
It’s definitely a very nice addition to the neighbourhood restaurant.
As soon as we got seated, we were greeted by the friendliest server in the West End: Todd. Gotta love Todd. He really made the experience memorable with his easy charm and excellent suggestions. He made everything on the menu come alive for us and we basically ordered everything based on his recommendations. Starting with the wine, which he mentioned has been ordered specifically to compliment their menus. We had a bottle of Herder Meritage – a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cavernet Sauvignon grapes. It was spicy and aromatic and simply delicious. If dining with more than just one person, I recommend the Mezza Sampler ($15). This is a combination of hummus, falafel, Tabouleh baba ghanouj, pita bread, pickles and veget
Laziza is a welcome new addition to the Davie Street strip in the West End of downtown Vancouver.
...Laziza has added pomegranate to the flavour and texture profile of the dish. The texture of Laziza's baba ganouj was smooth but the pomegranate fruit added a crunchy texture to the baba ganouj that gave the dish some depth.
I was fortunate enough to be among some fellow bloggers invited to a tasting event held by a new-ish Mediterranean restaurant on Davie â" Laziza . Just to give a bit of background on the restaurant, according to the press release, the menu is inspired by the regional classics from Lebanon, Morocco, Greece and Italy, but with a twist of course. They also seem to use quality ingredients as free-range, hormone-free tenderloin beef, chicken and lamb, and many organic ingredients (but donât mistake that as the whole dish being organic thoughâ¦just certain components). Now after reading that I would think their prices would be pretty up there, but if you take a look at their menu youâll realize theyâre not. Now does that mean the quality and taste of the food are not up to par? Iâll soon find out. As you can see the decor is definitely modern. It certainly had touches of the Mediterranean with its blue and brown/tan theme. It was v
I loved the restaurant it had both a beautiful interior and exterior. It look a while before a server attended to us and a little longer after we ordered. But the food was good, I loved the soup of the day. I had the seafood linguine with pomodoro sauce, they put a good amount of seafood in it unlike other places which was great. The bread and tacos were really tasty too. Bottom line go there!
One great place for desserts overlooking Canada Place and the Pacific Ocean in Downtown Vancouver.
Though they do serve alcohol and gourmet meals - we were there just for the desserts and were not disappointed. Our order for Coppa Cioccolato, Coppa Canada, Coppa Amaretto and Chocolate Lava Cake was served relatively quickly and looked delicious to say the least!
They tasted equally good if not better and we found the serve sizes worthy for the prices except for the Chocolate Lava Cake which in our opinion was not worth the price.
The cafe is furbished nicely and don't forget to see the artifacts and paintings adorning it's walls.
Friendly staff. Good menu with great.options for the whole family. The pasta was particularly tasty. Upstairs, there is a kid's play area with toys and a doll house. This restaurant is located beside the Vancouver Convention Center.
Exceptional location. Prices are higher but you get a gorgeous view with a good place to people watch. Tiramisu cake and macchiatos were delicious. Service friendly.
Nice little place to sit down and enjoy a meal or dessert. Great selection of gelato. And good...ish views of the harbour and the cruise ships.
