Italian Cuisine at Italian Kitchen in Vancouver

Ambience and service at The Italian Kitchen

Upon entering The Italian Kitchen, the guest is in for a pleasant experience. It starts with the friendly service: even before you are shown to your table, the friendly lady at reception takes your coat and stows it safely in the closet for the duration of your stay.
An overly elegant ambience should not be expected inside the restaurant. The decor is modern and functional. The tables are covered with clean, white tablecloths and in the restaurant area on the ground floor, large photos adorn the walls of the restaurant. On the first floor you look through a large window on the small shops across the street. The menu is at first disappointing. There are only pizza, pasta and a few meat dishes in it.

The menu and the endurance test

We have an appointment this evening with two friends from Germany, whose vacation in British Columbia will soon be over. After a short study of the menu, the two realize that their favorite dish is not listed: Lasagna. They therefore decide to simply ask the waiter if it is not possible for them to be served one. "This will soon be the endurance test for the quality of The Italian Kitchen," I think to myself. "Let's see if the kitchen can pull this off." My husband and I both order veal a la saltimbocca.

The excellent meal and dessert

In fact: after a few minutes, the waiter comes back and promises our friends the desired lasagna. "A plus that has it all," I think and I'm excited about what's to come. It turned out that the food exceeded our expectations. Our veal a la saltimbocca almost melted in your mouth and left such a tangy taste on the palate that you couldn't help but enjoy this meal. Our two friends were delighted with the lasagna, which was conjured up so quickly.

Even though the portions were large enough to be full on their own, we ordered dessert after the main course. And that too turned out to be a real revelation. Regardless of whether it was chocolate cake, chocolate mousse or a creme brulée with mint – each of us was delighted with the dish that was served to round off a truly excellent meal at The Italian Kitchen.
