    Great food and wonderful service. We were able to get last minute reservations on Christmas Eve when our first restaurant fell through and we were very glad we ended up here!

    Service was outstanding, live piano was beautiful, prices were expensive, while the food was a bit salty and overpriced, it was still very fresh and good quality.

    The service at this restaurant was outstanding. Due to heavy traffic trying to get into Vancouver we were an hour late for our reservation. Not only were we accommodated, but we had to leave within 40 minutes from arriving to attend the symphony. The food was prepared and delivered within our very restrictive time limit. The food was wonderful. The gnocchi were melt your mouth. I could have had a few more prawns in my dish, but the prawns served were very flavourful . The tiramisu was hands-down the best I have had in the lower mainland.  this restaurant was also very quiet at 7 PM on a Friday night and they deserve to be full for the quality of food that they serve. Everyone in my party wants to come back to the restaurant when we do not have to dine and dash! Though we were so appreciative that they could fulfil our restrictive time limit.

    Never been to Il Nido before until yesterday (2024 11 28). Had lunch with a friend. We were pretty much the only folks in the place. The waiter/bartender (didn't catch his name) was excellent. The food even better. A bit of a hidden secret well worth investigating. I'll be going again very soon.

    Thisis a beautiful dining experience for a date night or anniversary or just a night out. The room is decorated with beautiful done nude photographs so be aware if your coming with children. The service was impeccable! We had the meatballs and they happily added a side of spaghetti to make it an entree . This dish was incredibly tasty. We also ordered by recommendation, the seafood spaghetti dish which I would order again. Two really delish dishes!!! We will be back!
