About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
An intimate affair, with a menu of pasta and small plates to share, an all-Italian wine list of much-loved and lesser-known varietals, and an essential collection of cocktails, grappa and amari to start, finish and make the most of the afternoon and evening.

Reservations are available for lunch from 11 am to 3 pm daily, followed by a limited aperitivo menu from 3 pm to 5 pm. Dinner is served from 5 pm to 10 pm every night. Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We look forward to breaking bread with you!

                        Very comfortable and yet stimulating place. Staff very sweet. Food was excellent, no complaints at all. We had a great time. Want to visit at other times of day now to experience the coffee and the lunch variations of the Caffe.

                        Food was excellent! This group of friends I was with will always get the burrata and spicy vodka pasta EVERY TIME and it delivers.

                        Food and service are always exceptional, although wine by the bottle prices were a bit high for value. Carpaccio was unfortunately underwhelming, but all other dishes (starters, salads, pastas) were delicious.

                        I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Caffe La Tana!! Everything was top-notch: ambience, service, and extraordinary food! The duck ragu is a dish that dreams are made of!? 👌🏼 I happened to be there for the pastry pop-up … Bravo, Oliver Bernardino!! Delightful! Other diners commented on my satisfied and happy face, and a neighbour in my building even noticed it later when I returned home. LOL! A truly wonderful dining experience in Vancouver. 🤩
