This is a special place in Vancouver. Umberto Menghi has been the premier
Italian chef and host for, I don't even know how many years. I don't get to
Vancouver often anymore but when I do, this is a must stop.
The osso bucco is to die for. The antipasti plate is different all the time
depending on what is fresh. The menu changes with the season so look at the
website to see what's cooking. The wine selection is huge but I suggest the wine
from Umberto's own vineyard in Tuscany. This is not just any vineyard wine with
his label pasted on it but really his own wine , and very good too.
The service is unbeatable. Every one of the staff is professionals and are not
doing this part time. The ambiance is an old Tuscan house and very comfortable
(a bit warm in the summer I find). Sorry to sound like an advertisement but when
you find a good place, you like to share it.
Oh, it can be pricey though LOL.
