Had a lovely pizza and Choc brownie, highly recommend it, but what made the place so memorable was the server Sienna who was awesome and the young chef who took the time to ensure we enjoyed our meal. The only downside was that the gluten free pizza crust my buddy had was not so good but edible.

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!

Adrienne Rademaker

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

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.

Came there to have the gluten free pizza and when I went to order (8:30) they were all out. Not sure what they can really do but it was sad as a celiac who came from out of town for the pizza (not many alternative options either)

Ben Anderson

Good gluten free options

Funda Aytacoglu

I tried the gluten-friendly vegan dream pizza. The crust was amazing, and vegan pizza is so delicious! The place has a very chill atmosphere. Since I have gluten sensitivity, I often have trouble finding proper places with good-tasting options. Ignite is one of the best places you can choose in Vancouver if you're looking for gluten-friendly pizza.

Great Gluten Free Options! Gluten free pasta and salads and appies 🙏🏻

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.

Stephanie Brown

Good place! Has gluten free options. Bread was quite dry. I got the express burrata and the eggplant Parmesan with gluten free penne. Waitress made sure to check with chef and made good suggestions.

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.

Pam Penner

We have been coming to Arriva for over 30 years and love it! The staff are friendly and provide great service. They have gluten free pasta and will make you gluten free toast for dipping in oil and vinegar. Their pasta sauces are amazing. I’m sure we’ve tried them all! We also love their calamari appetizer, and I don’t even like calamari. 😊 The atmosphere at Arriva is absolutely authentic Italian. They have outside patio seating too. It feels like being in Italy. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

chloe kf

Great spot for gluten free pasta, very delicious! Accommodating and a great atmosphere! Love every time I go to Nook

Adam Hesseltine

Finding good gluten-free Italian options is fairly difficult. Most of their menu is or can be requested GF. We had the burrata, Cacio e pepe with GF penne, and gnocchi con gamberi. Complimentary sparkling wine was brought for our celebration. Our server made our meal very enjoyable. Very small dining room, so make a reservation for weekend nights.

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.

Di Beppe is such a comfy place to hang out with a friend. The warmth of the atmosphere, the flow between tables and counters, the entire design works. There are two sides, one cafe service and the other a full seated restaurant. Before I realized the damage gluten was doing to my body, I used to love eating pizza on the restaurant side. Great prices for a lovely meal. These days I am wheat free but don't sweat contamination so I like the cafe and delicious gluten free treats. Thanks so much for accomodating folks like me, Di Beppe. I loved the blueberry cake slice I had the other day. The classic style cappucino is a real treat. I would love third wave places to get into that type of foam.

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.

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!

Gluten free crust is also potato free, which means no fillers, just right. And their original crust reminds me of Pauly Gee's in Greenpoint ... if ya know, ya know. Folks working are nice. What's not to love?

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

holt landers

Love these guys. I order my rose primavera gluten free from them and they always go the extra mile to make me feel good. Thanks Italia

nhi hoang

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?
