Arriva Ristorante

This photo pretty much sums it up. My husband and I ordered three pasta dishes with the outlook of taking home leftovers but everything was so incredibly delicious that we couldn’t stop eating. Best pasta quality and flavours in Vancouver. If you’re looking for an authentic experience in a family owned establishment, this is it! Highly recommend.

This restaurant is an absolute gem of a dining experience. In the heart of Commercial Drive this restaurant stands on its own for top notch service and amazing authentic Italian cuisine. The mussels with white wine and Prawns are the ultimate starters and then the rest is up to you . I have been going there since 1988 and I can say its been one of my “ must go” places every 3-4 months!! Reasonable prices with high end quality food and service!! Highly recommend!!

Family restaurant, good selection of traditional Italian fare, great service, great mains,only downside was the mixed greens which was over dressed with balsamic. Overall, we enjoyed and reccomend. Boun Appetito.

Had the mozzarella and tomatoe appetizer, the minestrone soup, sausage risotto, lemon pop, and tiramisu. The environment was cozy, but the food was only ok for it being rated as high as it was. The best was the tiramisu, I won't likely go back, nice area nonetheless

The linguine pescatore was delicious, filled with lots of shrimp, clams, and mussels. The tomato sauce was nice and tangy. The complimentary focaccia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is a nice opener to the meal. Their Caesar salad dressing is particularly yummy! The tomato with bocconcini was average. It was a good and satisfying Italian dinner.

Last minute reservations with good friends. Our waitress Rodica was absolutely on point. Poured our wine when we needed it & knew the menu front to back. Food was amazing & suggested the best grappa for afterwards. An old school Italian restaurant with fabulous atmosphere. I will be back!

Great people and great place and delicious authentic Italian dishes. Highly recommend this ristorante 😍
We barged in very late on Sunday night, were kitchen were prepped for closing. However, as soon they noticed my kids they let us in and have the kitchen on for another half an hour.
Kids had one of their best ever pastas and I tried the Lasagna, which both were super delicious and rich in flavour. My wife Salad also came fresh and yummy.

The best part however was not just food, but the kindness and hi level of care that we received from hostess. And our family really enjoyed late Sunday night dinner out.

The space nicely decorated and feels like the authentic ristorante, well kept and well cleaned.

Again, this is going to be one of my favourite Italian ristorante in Vancouver, we will back again and Highly recommended to everyone.😍
