Regular crust pizza is okay but not remarkable. Gluten-friendly crust pizza leaves to be desired. Home artisan potatoes are soft and don’t taste freshly made at all. Customer service is great; very thorough with modifications. We enjoyed their home made lemonade.

Food was… overall very salty. Not sure if this is how it is suppose to be but from antipasti to pastas, they were all honestly quite salty. Ingredients may be fresh which we would like to appreciate but they are just too salty to be enjoyed. On the other hand, the service was great with solid gluten free options.

Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”. We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing. This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling. The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails. I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.

gluten friendly options and can accommodate celiac

Server was wonderful - very knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. I got a gluten free pizza that was pretty terrible, probably the worst one I've gotten in a restaurant actually- the crust was thin and chewy, not in a good way; it was like a frozen pizza. The ceaser salad had polenta croutons that were good but there was only like 4 of them total. I felt safe as a celiac and there was lots of GF stuff on the menu to try, but definitely avoid the pizza. (If you want good GF pizza in the area go across the street to Per Se, it's the best I've ever had!) I would come back to try the other options though.

Phenomenal pizza, very friendly service, gf has celiac allergy, restaurant takes proper care in minimizing cross contamination, the gluten-free crust was delicous, highly recommend. However, they are very busy. When booking a reservation, it is at least a week beforehand if you are trying to go on Friday/Saturday.

Ben Anderson

Good gluten free options

Jenna Francis

This pizza shop has gluten friendly/gluten free options. I was told they it’s not celiac safe options.

M Wi

Polite service. Good selection, including gluten-free options. A good concept for a chain.

T AR

Bright and busy. Great food. Fantastic coffee. Street side tables perfect for people watching Gluten free waffles!

catherine heith

Great place for those with celiac disease or a gluten allergy. I received GF bread and many of the dishes are or can be made GF. They have GF appetizers, pasta, risotto and GF dessert. The service was great.

S. “Linear” R.

Phenomenal Italian food. The seafood risotto is out of this world. Add to the fact this restaurant has many gluten free options this is truly a hidden gem of Vancouver

Jaceyproudfoot

Fabulousl gluten free options! Great location and exceptional food. High quality ingredients. All the food coming from the kitchen looked outstanding! Can't wait to return! Check out the cool street view!

Jo Munro

If you have allergies or restrictions these guys take it seriously. I got the vegan mozzarella as gluten free and they made it out the back to be safe which I really appreciated. Tasted good for a gluten free pizza.

Craig P

Such a lovely atmosphere, great pasta and really pleasant and helpful staff. My wife is a coeliac so cannot eat normal pasta, so this was substituted with gluten free potato gnocchi (which she chose to have the Pomodoro sauce) which she loved. I had the tortellini gorgonzola that was superb. We finished off with flour free chocolate cake and gelato, only $10.95 each. Would highly recommend Zefferellis.

Ariana Arrue

We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious I would go back in a heartbeat.

Terri

My son and daughter in law took me here for my birthday. We had reservations and were warmly greeted at the door. The old rustic Italian ambience was very inviting. We started out with a Buffalo Mozzarella appertif and the tomatoes were very refreshing. I had the Veal Parmigiano with pasta. The portion of veal was amazing. The flavour of the tomato sauce brought back memories of Sunday dinners at my Zia's when families and neighbours got together for dinner. My son had the Pennette Al Salmone Offumicatto which he said he loves so much he orders all the time. My DIL the Gluten Free Fettuccine Alla Puttanesca. She said the noodles were some of the best GF noodles she has had. The service was great! Would highly recommend!

Lily Kane

GF pasta available for all there sauces Was really yummy and very big portions staff was helpful and understood about gluten free Didn’t feel any issues after eating here

Jacob Hollander

I got the gluten free rigatoni and it was outstanding. Highly recommend for gluten free folks looking for pasta

Lesley White

They make a Gluten Free crust and it is near impossible to tell apart from real pizza crust! Also, the happy hour offers are awesome! This is my new favorite neighborhood pizza place now! I added olives, and I'd do it again! Delicious.

Tay W

Didn’t understand what all the hype was about this place until a friend and I went…. Wow great quality food, so delicious! My friend loved the gluten free pasta! Will definitely come back!

Aviva Mirsky

Went here for gluten free and it’s awesome!

Jessica Doig

Carano makes excellent pizza - and offer a gluten free crust that is delicious! I recommend the spinach and artichoke pizza - it has a nice kick!

Yurii Chukhlatyi

Gluten free base pizza felt like it was served on a cracker. Other than that it’s a very lovely place with good atmosphere.

Benjamin Boal

Do not come here if you have an allergy. I am not picky when it comes to food but I very clearly stated that I had a gluten allergy and within 5 minutes I was extremely sick. The waiter made it seem like it was my fault and denied any chance of cross contamination, even though I was actively getting sick. I was offered my plate for free afterwards which was kind, and I apologize to much of the wait staff that was friendly, it was a very busy night and I understand it was stressful but this was not an enjoyable dining experience nonetheless.

MAXIM PAK

An amazing Italian restaurant. They were also able to make gluten free pasta which tasted amazing and was a saving grace for us when we were on a diet.

Mike Gunn

Had a few meals here during our stay in Vancouver, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall food was excellent and had gluten-free options for my partner who is intolerant. Service was excellent everytime we ate there.

Kayla Clark

The food is damn good. Service excellent. Small chic place with simple curb appeal but phenomenal experience every time. Gluten free options. Great wine choices. Highly recommend.

Gemma Boothroyd

Loooove Di Beppe. It’s such a gem! Great vibe and atmosphere in here. It’s buzzy while also being a great place to work/write away. The server behind the counter was super warm and friendly too. Tons of gluten free and vegan pastry options — the lemon cake blew my mind 🤯 Also saw gluten free pasta on the menu, which we’ll have to come back in and try!

E R

Delicious food (possibility to order a gluten-free pasta dish) and super welcoming and professional staff! I recommend 100%

Gabriela Menocal

I have to say, delicious Gluten free pasta, the waitress was so knowledgeable and suggested a dish that was perfect. Please be aware that only certain pasta can beade GF. My husband ordered Margherita pizza and he said it was really good

Olivia Sztanga

Food, service, ambiance were all amazing. Accommodated gluten free!

Daniela Ramo

We had breakfast and dinner at Capo over a long weekend. Breakfast is absolutely great, dinner very good and I was very happy the place offered gluten free options

Frances Malloch

Service received from Christina was excellent. A very friendly and helpful person who made sure my gluten free restrictions were not a problem.

Jeevan Darred

One of the worst service encounters I have ever received at an upscale restaurant - will not ever visit again. Also, if you're gluten-free or vegan, skip this place altogether. In mid March, my family and I made a reservation to go here for my Father's special 60th birthday. We were all happy and looking forward to eating here - however we were not greeted with the same level of joy. Some members of our family have gluten free dietary restrictions, and our server did not accommodate to our questions about the menu and dietary restrictions at all - he just read out the menu like we were stupid. The server and kitchen did nothing to accomodate any gluten free requests. We were overall in a happy mood and tried to have nice light talk with our server and he was just plain obnoxious and had no intent to treat us with any happiness. He had an attitude with us right from the get go and completely ruined our mood for the evening. Throughout the night, our servers changed and there was a lapse in service as a result and they did not even let us know. The restaurant made no effort to cater to our special evening (even after we mentioned and notified the restaurant it was our fathers 60th). They offered us a "birthday platter" at the end which ended up being 4 very hard crackers that were not gluten-free. I advised the server of our dissatisfaction and they told me the manager would follow up with me after I provided my number. I have yet to receive that follow up. The food was nothing to rave about - there are definitely much better Italian restaurants with much better service, taste, and menu accommodation for similar prices around. Not worth the time and price.

We were able to get a table because of a last minute reservation. The service is good and they were helpful with the recommendations. The calamari was crispy and light, not doughy like some other establishments. I do wish they had a dip on the side to complement the flavours. I got the pappardelle as recommended, which was cooked perfectly, but I ultimately switched plates with my partner because the lamb was absolutely delicious, and he liked the pasta more so win-win! It was more on the rare side, which I loved. The potatoes were a nice touch. The only dish that disappointed was the lava cake, but I think that was because it was gluten-free so we expected something more traditional. Nevertheless it was not bad, just not something we would get again. When we were paying the bill, either the manager or the owner came by to say thank you for dining with them which was such a nice gesture! We would love to come back to try the other recommendations (uni pasta!).

Annalee Castillo

Server was very friendly, food was great. There are gluten free pasta options. Just came for the pasta entrees and they were great, good portions.

B M

Great little combos. They have gluten free pasta too! I love the green salad and the shrimp linguini. They never skimp on the ingredients. Great service and always tasty! I also love the carbonara. Great portions and so filling! Update: used to order quite regularly but often ingredients were missing. Spaghetti puttanesca had no anchovies olives or Capers.. Spaghetti and meatballs both stated spicy which we quite enjoyed but was so spicy couldn't eat it and enjoy. Gluten free is no longer on the door dash menu. Last few times have been a miss. Maybe ingredient shortage or staffing! Friendly people on the phone!

Evan Roll

We just tried this place for the first time - for my daughters b-day party. A mix of regular and gluten free crusts. Honestly the best pizza I have had. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Rishu Suri

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, but it ended up being a disappointment unfortunately. The food was mediocre at best especially for its price. Very limited options if you have dietary restrictions and allergies such as gluten, dairy or vegetarian. Luckily there are several amazing restaurants in the lower mainland that are more than accommodating. They do NOT allow modifications to any of the dishes and unfortunately if you have any restrictions you are limited. The pasta was too salty and the other pasta ended up causing my mother's stomach to hurt. The service was good, our server was okay, he seemed to be getting frustrated when my husband was asking questions but the other staff were kind and attentive. The ambiance was nice, but it was quite tight seating. Felt cramped. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

Christian Naumann

Nook is the place to be for pasta in Olympic Village! Always delicious pasta & pizza, seasonal rotating specials and gluten-free options. Can’t ask for more!

Bryan

The food was fantastic. Definitely a "go to" place. The atmosphere was lively but a bit loud for my taste. The patio would have been a better option. I'd go back. One thing I found a little odd was the fact one could get vegan "cheese" but not gluten free pizza crust. I have a dairy and gluten intolerance and don't have good pizza often. Instead I went for a gluten free pasta dish. It was delicious. The view of the sunset from my table was fantastic.

Ishita Malik

I went there 3-4 times for some authentic Italian food. Was so glad to see they had so many vegan options, gluten free, dairy free. And even said they can substitute any of the ingredients for vegan.

Jack Krom

Everything is made in house … gluten free pastas and crackers available . The wines were amazing ! The mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked , the rigatoni Bolognese was superb … this place reminded me of the old pronto on Cambie street , but better ! Will definitely be going back

Have wanted to come here for so long and finally did! The food in general was good. We got gluten free pasta, chicken, and 2 desserts. I was a tiny bit disappointed because after reading other reviews I thought they would have better gluten free options for bread and pasta but no they didn’t have gluten free bread. The gluten free option for pasta is not the right kind of pasta for the dishes but they were still good. The prosciutto appertizer is a must order, for the price is a bit expensive but the cheese was amazing. The chicken I really like, but maybe the waitress oversell it a little bit as It wasn’t mind blowing as she described. Still enjoyed it. Desserts were kind of okay. By this point I was full out of my mind. The whole meal was good! But I wouldn’t come back. Thank you for the meal

Mike Beuvink

Last night in Vancouver, so booked a table at this small Italian restaurant and loved it. Food, wine and service were amazing. Loved the meatballs to start, my wife’s gluten free Alfredo was excellent and the tiramisu was to die for. We will definitely be next time we visit Vancouver

Ruty Rinott

Good coffee, great croissants, amazing pasta Bolognese. Gluten free options!

Django

My daughter is super sensitive to cheese and gluten so we tend to have a hard time going out to eat. We came along this spot walking down to the fireworks and wow let me tell you they really make people feel at home. From the moment we walked in they were so sweet to the kids and dealt with all our allergies perfectly. Washed all the utensils for my daughter’s allergy. Will be recommending to all my family and friends. Also have super late hours for a shop in kits so another plus to the great food and service

Steven Kang

We took couple of pizzas on our way home. The flavor was awesome and easily one of the best in town. Noticed that the crust was thin but remained crispy/chewy in a good way compared to typical Neapolitan pizza dough. Wondering if the dough has more gluten content?
