An authentic Italian, family-style restaurant, local to downtown Vancouver Locanda dell’Orso is inspired by the old legend of the Innkeeper and the Bear. Here you’ll find the ambiance of a warm Italian home, built on the promise of a welcoming and indulgent culinary experience throughout. Fresh pasta made in house daily, with dishes found across Northern and Coastal Italy, ingredients are sourced locally from small farms and imported especially from the Italian regions from which they are best known.
Excellent service. Everything was thoughtfully made in house with their own unique touches. We had focaccia bread w lemon saffron butter, scallop w pumpkin puree plus fried mushrooms, meat filled ravioli, sable fish w seasonal vegetables, and pistachio tiramisu.
My highlight was the flakey sable fish, soft n crispy focaccia and if you like pistachio gelato, you ’d enjoy the tiramisu as much as I did!
Thank you for the meal, Inn of the Bear : )
