Mmm, there’s a lovely Italian spot in New Westminster! The location is nice, though it can be a bit quiet with less traffic. But the food? Absolutely wonderful, and the service is truly fabulous. If you find yourself in that neighbourhood, definitely give it a try — we’re sure you’ll enjoy the delicious food as much as we do!

Fantastic food and atmosphere! The only thing I would point out is that they brought us the food (super fast, amazing!) but never came back to check on us, it took me a long time to get someone’s attention, lots of staff but everyone seemed too busy to even look at us. Apart from that, great experience!

It had been a while since my last visit, and I can honestly say the quality and service have improved a lot. I took my niece here to celebrate her birthday and it was such a great choice. The food was delicious, everything felt well done, and she absolutely loved it. We had a lovely experience and I’m really happy we came back.

This place is amazing! Went there for V-day and it was super busy. Needed reservation, no walk-ins. The waitress is ok not super attentive. The entrées and desserts were really sumptuous. The drinks were good as well.

Our service was excellent- she was friendly, made good recommendations, and constantly made sure my water was full. I love that it’s easy to get to right by the skytrain. The food was yummy and reasonably priced on happy hour.

The atmosphere at Piva Italian restaurant was nice, and staff were pleasant, though not so impressed with the food – I’ve definitely had better italian elsewhere…though it wasn’t bad. What I didn’t quite understand was the seating choice. The restaurant wasn’t full, yet we were seated right beside the door where it was cold and the draft kept coming in and we had a child with us, mind you. They did mive us to the next table when we requested it, but honestly, that shouldn’t have been necessary. It’s a no-brainer to seat guests in a more comfortable spot when there are plenty of open tables. I’ve noticed that this isn’t unique to Piva – several restaurants seem to do the same – but it really does affect the overall dining experience.

My wife has had her eye on this Italian spot for a while, so when we saw there was no lineup on a Friday night (a small miracle), we jumped right in. Service? Solid. Vibe? Pretty good—though you might need to raise your voice a bit to talk over the noise. At that point, things were looking promising… until the food showed up.
We started with focaccia, Brussels sprouts, and the big-ticket lobster risotto. The focaccia came out room temperature—kind of like it had been sitting around waiting for me instead of the other way around. At a mid-range Italian place, I was expecting warm, pillowy bread. And the olive oil–balsamic dip? Served in a tiny bowl, so it was basically all oil with a hint of vinegar—like salad dressing that gave up halfway.
Then came the lobster risotto. Let’s just say it didn’t need salt for the next decade. Way too salty, to the point where it was less “lobster risotto” and more “ocean with rice.”

1st time here – the restaurant was packed so we were sat at the bar….which normally I don’t like for a dinner meal but the bartenders were amazing and always attentive. We didn’t have to wait long for anything food was amazing started with wild Boar meat balls nicely cooked with great flavours.
Main was bolognese
Bartenders gave us a dessert for our anniversary too.
Great place , well priced

Piva nails the trifecta: gorgeous big‑window decor, sleek modern vibe, and unbeatable convenience. It is steps from the SkyTrain and has parking tucked under the Anvil Centre. No circling the block like a hungry shark.
Food:
We’ve been here a few times, and the lineup never disappoints.
– Gnocchi: pillowy little clouds of happiness.
– Bistecca: steak that makes you question why you ever bothered with your BBQ.
– Seafood fettuccine: proof Poseidon might be moonlighting in the kitchen.
– Margarita pizza: simple, classic, and the kind of pie that makes you forget delivery forever.
Appetizer Highlight:
The polenta fries are a must‑order. They start as creamy cornmeal cooked into a thick porridge, cooled until firm, then sliced into fry‑like sticks and crisped up. Six golden batons arrive with a spicy pomodoro sauce so good you’ll want to lick the ramekin. Honestly, they would pair perfectly with bread.
Bread & Olive Oil:
Here’s the kicker. Piva used to give bread and olive oil for free. Now it’s five bucks. Not a deal‑breaker, but let’s be honest paying for bread feels like being charged extra for air. Still, if you cave, that bread makes the perfect mop for the leftover polenta sauce, so you’ll forgive them by the last bite.
Service:
Ask for Darrel with two R’s. He doesn’t just serve, he elevates the whole experience. The man deserves his own Yelp category.
Price:
Average dish around $30, which feels fair given the quality, location, and the fact you will leave already planning your next visit. We’ve been here a few times now, so we can vouch for it

Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience! We had no problem booking a table for three 20 minutes prior to dining on Sunday evening. Administrator was friendly over the phone and kindly greeted us in person.
Food was good: we ordered some appetisers, pizza, and pastas. Apps and pastas were excellent, but pizza was a bit dry.
Our server Dmytro was very welcoming, polite and helpful the entire time. It is people like him that make the place truly great 🙂
This place is definitely for someone who appreciates great customer service and some well-cooked Italian pasta.
