About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
Taking cues from Italy’s storied south, with its famed coasts and islands, rich history, and relaxed lifestyle, Elio Volpe celebrates the best ingredients from the Pacific Northwest as inspired by il Mezzogiorno — the ancient seafaring term for the wind from the south, now colloquially used to describe that part of the country. Above all else, Elio, like its cousin Savio Volpe, celebrates liveliness, warmth and hospitality. Viva la convivialità!

Reservations are available for dinner from 5 pm to 10 pm every night, and for brunch on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays from 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We do our best to accommodate special requests but are unable to guarantee requests for specific tables.

We look forward to breaking bread with you!

    Amazing experience as always and given It was Mothers Day and I mistakenly booked 10pm instead of 10am - the front house staff did manage to squeeze us in and we were very appreciative. Service was superb and we were treated to a lovely pastry at the end of our brunch too! Food was delicious - my favourite brunch spot in Vancouver!!!

    Food was great as always. The experience though did feel rushed this time, kind of felt like we were in and out unceremoniously like a diner, not the experience I was expecting for a weekend outing.

    From the greeting as we entered Elio Volpe, to our departure with fond farewells as though we were long-time friends….our entire birthday brunch event was delightful! The service, beverages, food, and complimentary gelato were excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the ‘checking in’ by Kat, our server, and we will be back!!

    There was a slug in my salad. They comped my food, but I feel like that should've gone without saying.

    Quite honestly the best in the biz. Amazing service, food, quality, ambiance. From when you walk in the door to when you’re paying the bill — an exceptional experience.

    I know I was early for the reservations, but our entrees also took quite a long time to come out. So it was definitely impossible to keep it in the 2 hr time window. Cute they wrote a birthday card and had a scoop of ice cream and a candle prepped for her.
