Those behind Socialē by Villa Rosa have been offering consistently great food and wine from both B.C. and Italy for more than 15 years in Penticton. That food, which includes fresh, local produce, and wine complements the atmosphere and makes for an unforgettable experience.

Socialē, which is Okanagan family owned, is the cousin of Villa Rosa Ristorante, which is on hiatus. The soul of that restaurant will live on through Socialē. The Italian wine bar and coffee house has taken the best from Villa Rosa Ristorante and turned it into something even more unique and special.

Socialē is located at 950 Lakeshore Dr. W., in Penticton, mere steps from Okanagan Lake Beach.

Recommended by a friend who came a few weeks back and was not disappointed. Sat inside at a high table to be out of the sun and the busy patio noise. Arancini with crab (was hard to detect) but delicious nonetheless. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Will be back later this week and sit on the patio for happy hour.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Penticton. The food is always fantastic and reasonably priced. No matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Penticton.

My dining companion and I had a Mother's Day Happy Hour dinner and drink yesterday. We're from Vancouver and have many wonderful dining options. I am a somewhat accomplished home cook and my dinner companion is a professional chef. Neither of us could find fault with any aspect of our time at Sociale and I think this is one of the best meals out I've had in a long while. Highly recommend Sociale.

Excellent food and service. My one complaint was that I had booked a low table as my husband had knee replacement surgery and is uncomfortable with a low table and we also had two ninety year old women with us so a high table would be uncomfortable. They sat us at a high table. I complained but there was no room.

The food is excellent. It's best to order multiple dishes to share because it's "tapas" style service and the food comes out staggered not all at once. It was a bit noisy but the food definitely makes up for that. I will be bring wine next time now that I know they offer corkage fees. I look forward to trying some cocktails too. They offered classic cocktails on their list. All around a great experience.

Enjoyed a delicious afternoon brunch with friends and had a wonderful experience. Amazing eggs benedict with homemade hollandaise. They serve their regular menu in addition to the brunch menu, so there are lots of choices for everyone. We appreciate the professional service, amazing view and delicious food. We’ll be back soon.

Nice food, nothing fancy but good and arrived promptly. Server seemed distracted…perfunctory. Strangely when I asked for a Negroi, listed on the menu as containing Compari I was brought Aporel Negroni and suggested “I try it”. I like Aporel but this seemed overpowering. When I asked for a different drink the server then explained they were out of Compari and so “tried” Aporel. Had she explained the substitution in the beginning it would have been appropriate and may have gone smoother as it was they wasted a drink I felt like I was given something i hadn’t ordered and I ended up with a glass of wine and a bad feeling. Not a good move.
