What PBPG doesn't like about Il Nido:
Called in without a booking, looking for an early dinner. Not a very extensive menu. We had two Peroni’s and the lasagne, followed by coffee. The Lasagne was served promptly but it was a bit dry and had a bit of a strange flavour. $91, bit on the steep side View all feedback. What AlexandraS likes about Il Nido:
A very pleasant dinner experience. Been there several times, and every time food and service was superb. Choice of starters is amazing, pastas are delicious. All ingredients are fresh and presentation is impressive. Delicious and authentically Italian this is by far our favourite Italian restaurant in the whole of Metro Vancouver. View all feedback.

Overall, this Italian restaurant received mixed reviews from customers. Some felt that the food was overpriced and lacked flavor, particularly after a change in ownership. However, others had a wonderful experience, praising the attentive service, knowledgeable servers, and excellent meals, cocktails, and desserts. The ambiance was generally appreciated, with live music adding to the dining atmosphere. The menu included dishes such as caprese salad, linguine, clams vongole, pork chop, risotto, salmon, Tiramisu, spaghetti with mussels, and chocolate torte, with varying opinions on taste and presentation. Despite the mixed feedback, the restaurant's intimate environment and live music were highlighted as positive aspects that made it a popular dinner spot.
