Yaletown

About the restaurant

We love everything about restaurants. In particular, we love Italian. We love the food, the wine, the diversity, and the pride that Italians take in hosting a memorable experience.

We’ve spent our lives developing restaurants. From a simple deli or a laidback pub to award-winning fine dining, we have worked hard and are proud to present Autostrada Osteria.

It’s a place with a simple philosophy. Inspired by the casual osterie of Italy, the focus is on a simple menu where quality ingredients shine, regional wines that represent a place, and a room filled with warmth and bustle.

We hope you enjoy what we’ve poured our hearts into.

Commercial Drive

About the restaurant

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!

Fairview

About the restaurant

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!

Pepino's is incredible every time. The service staff are total pros, the food is incredible, the portions are huge, the vibe is exactly what you want it to be. If you ask people in Vancouver what they're favourite restaurant is, Pepino's always sits at the top of the list and for good reason.
