Gregrat Posted September 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2023 What are some decent Italian restaurants within walking distance of the Pan Pacific or in Gastown. Not looking for something fancy or elaborate. Just some good down home Italian cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Milhouse Posted September 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Autostrada Osteria? Google says it's a 12 min walk from the Pan Pacific (and it's in a slightly sketchy area). Tasty appies and pasta (tho they also have meat and fish dishes). It's not a chain but they are popular enough to have three locations now. (I haven't been to this location though.) There is the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown if that's more what you're looking for. I haven't eaten there in over a decade but my friends apparently love it. It's a formulatic kitschy chain restaurant that known for a combo meal of soup/salad, main, dessert, and coffee/tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnvip Posted September 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Old Spaghetti factory is what my DH calls "shlock italian" - its really just sit down fast food. Much better options are Zefferelli on Robson (about 15 min walk) or Tavola at the far end of Robson (about 10 min longer than Zefferelli if walking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
