In Italy, good, simple food is just about as celebrated as the country’s artistc masterpieces. Authentic cuisine is at the heart of Italian culture, and the same could very well be said about La Pentola.
Housed in the chic Opus Hotel in Vancouver's tony Yaletown neighbourhood, La Pentola serves up house-made pasta dishes (to make your palate sing), authentic antipasti, succulent meat entrees and seafood specialties, and delicate desserts that provide a sweet finish to every meal.
The carte du jour is a treasure trove of Italian specialties. The food ranges from a stunningly delicious Kettle Ridge beef carpaccio with quail egg, to a luxurious cappelletti stuffed with veal, potato and leek in a buttery wine sauce.
For those who love to dine family-style, the real draw here is the Alla Famiglia dinners, which feature five or seven sharing courses that will take diners on a culinary journey to entice all of the senses.
