Savio Volpe is a restaurant styled after the classic osteria — featuring rustic fare in the Italian tradition of freshness and regionality, using ingredients gathered from the nearby lakes, oceans, farms and fields. Everything is prepared in the simplest, most flavourful way, with pasta handmade fresh every day — fatto a mano in casa — and meat, poultry and fish kissed by smoke over the wood-fired grill and rotisserie. The 75-seat osteria, which was named ‘Best Italian’ at the 2019 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, also features a long list of friendly Italian wines and old-world coffee to inspire conversation and good cheer among friends, family and strangers alike. By Banda Volpi, the gang behind Elio Volpe, La Tana, and Pepino’s.
Housemade charcuterie & wood-fired Italian fare served in an industrial-chic restaurant/bar.

Reviews
I did feel that some dishes were a bit on the salty side
I think the flavors would suit people who enjoy drinking wine or cocktails ✨
I really appreciated that our server checked in with us frequently. When I honestly said one dish was a little too salty for me, they immediately changed it for us, which was very thoughtful. Looking back, I probably should have mentioned from the start that I have high blood pressure and prefer lighter seasoning
I wasn’t sure what to order, so we left it up to the server. We had a 5-course meal for my partner’s birthday dinner, and I’m truly grateful for the wonderful hospitality and care we received. Thank you so much
Next time, I’ll do a bit more research beforehand and come back to try different dishes. This has definitely become one of my favorite restaurants!
The pasta was a standout: perfectly folded, silky, and coated in a rich, savoury sauce with just the right amount of texture on top. It tasted as incredible as it looked.
The main course was cooked with precision — tender, flavourful, and paired with roasted vegetables that added depth and warmth to the plate. Everything was balanced and thoughtfully plated.
And the dessert? Stunning. Light, creamy, topped with fresh fruit and slivered almonds, and finished with a dusting of sweetness. A perfect ending to an amazing meal.
From start to finish, Osteria Savio Volpe delivers an unforgettable dining experience. If you haven’t been yet, you need to try it — absolutely a must‑visit!
We started with the Carne Cruda, which was incredibly tender — easily one of the best we’ve had. The Lingua di Vitello with tuna sauce was beautifully balanced and surprisingly delicious.
For mains, the True North Flat Iron steak was unbelievably tender; we absolutely loved it. The broccolini on the side was perfectly seasoned and paired so well with the steak. The Creste di Gallo with lamb ragu was another highlight — springy pasta with spot-on seasoning.
The pistachio cannoli for dessert was crisp, not too sweet, and very satisfying.
Service was exceptional — thoughtful pacing, dishes served one at a time, plates changed after each course, and even the table refreshed before our mains. These small details made the whole experience feel polished and enjoyable.
A fantastic meal from start to finish. We’d happily return — highly recommended
The food is outstanding. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared with incredible attention to detail, from the perfectly cooked pastas to the bold, comforting flavors that feel both elevated and authentic. The quality of the ingredients really shines, and the menu strikes a perfect balance between classic Italian comfort and creative flair.
The service truly sets this place apart. A special shoutout to our waiter Steve, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire experience even more memorable.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an exceptional meal, Savio Volpe delivers on every level. Highly recommend, this is a place you’ll want to return to again and again.
Upon entering, the three of us were warmly welcomed and brought to our table at the corner by the kitchen. A very lively place with comfortable Italian touches and decor. Our server was Conner and we thoroughly enjoyed his attentive service and appreciated his knowledge each of the elements in each of the dishes we ordered.
Started off with Negroni: Volpi Spagliato, Bianco and Classico. All very well made.
Next, Prosciutto di parma with grilled focaccia. Delicious and went well with the cocktails.
For our mains: Pork coppa and the off the menu 18oz ribeye steak. The wood fire grill on meats created a very good crust. Both meat dishes were very flavorful with each having it own very umami driven sauce. Our server made a great recommendation to have a side order of sautéed king oyster mushrooms. It had bits of salumi which we enjoyed. We appreciated the sommelier’s wine knowledge and guidance: Antonelli Montefalco Rosso – Umbria ’22. This wine developed well throughout the dinner mains. We ended with a pistachio cheesecake tart and cocktails Amaro Shakerato. Again the cocktails were very delicious and full flavored. They also kindly added a scoop of gelato with a candle on top as we celebrated a birthday.
Overall, we’ll definitely be coming back! Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience here. The quality of each of the drinks and foods we ordered is excellent. It’s a gem of a restaurant. And also well noted is the clean and well attended to restrooms. It’s important to the restaurant experience.
Service was attentive and friendly throughout. One small note: the pasta courses arrived early in the meal which left us pretty full by the time the mains came. Next time we’ll ask for the pasta to come alongside the meat courses, but that’s just a personal preference.
The cocktails were well-crafted, and the overall atmosphere made for a great evening.
