Nook Vancouver
My Italian goodness
If you feel like treating yourself to a great Italian restaurant, you have to try this one! The restaurant has a reputation so they often have a waiting list, so make sure you get there early if you are impatient. Otherwise, it is worth the wait!
I go head over heels for their Whipped Ricotta and Hazelnut Crostini. It's a simple and amazing combination of fresh (and always top quality!) ingredients prepared right in your face (if you're sitting at the bar) while the rest of your meal is being made in the kitchen. I can never choose from the menu, so I tried their daily pasta specials twice and they keep me coming back for more! Tagliatelle or shrimp spaghetti, I ate too much both times!
I love sweets and desserts but I was never hungry enough to order one after an appetizer and main course at Nook. I'll update next time I go!
Friendly service, amazing food and good choice of wine... Desserts to die for are just expected at this point...!
Buon appetito!
