I really wanted to like this place, I saw it on TikTok and had high hopes. Unfortunately, it was a letdown from start to finish. The vibes were off. I didn't feel welcomed or like I belonged, and the energy just wasn't inviting. It took over an hour to get a simple pasta dish, which felt excessive even for a busy spot. The food was decent, but definitely not worth the wait. The place itself is cute, I'll give it that. But customer service matters, and the woman in the pink shirt was surprisingly rude. Her attitude made the experience even more uncomfortable.Sadly, this just isn't a place I'd come back to or recommend. Disappointed. read more

Touring the city by foot. Feeling faint, kids were hungry . A quick google search popped up this place. The place is a quaint spot on broadway. Felt like a mom and pop type italian spot. Counter service with room to sit on a patio or inside. Tried four items Garlic bread- was a touch heavy on the butter/oil/garlic 2/5. One slice was not eaten. Bolognese ragu w rigatoni- Home cooked style set up. Chose our type of noodle, came out hot and fresh with a decent meat/tomato sauce. 5/5 devoured by everyone. Classic lasagna- seemed too basic. Extras remained 3/5. Not as popular against the kids nor the adult patrons in our group today. Meatball- 5/5 devoured Overall 4/5- neat lil italian place. Overall great quality in the food. I would return if i was in the area. read more

Highly recommend! Amazing food. You select your pasta type and type of sauce. Magic! Seriously. This place is pretty tiny so there is not a lot of seating. It's cozy though. They do have outdoor seating. A lovely Italian woman took our order at the counter and she was very helpful and kind. We ended up ordering take out because the wait was too long for us and it was raining so outdoor seating didn't seem like a great idea. Our food was still hot when we got back to our hotel. We also ordered the tiramisu and a chocolate cannoli. Yum! I couldn't eat as much dessert as I would have liked and yet glad we splurged to get it. read more

I ordered their food on doordash so didn't get a chance to visit them in-person. We got their - :: Build your own Alfredo sauce pasta with meatballs and mushroom. It was creamy but was not salted well. The meatballs were too hard and not easy to eat which was odd. :: Their spinach and ricotta lasagna was also very creamy but again, was not salted well. It was pretty average. :: Their porcini and cream pasta was the best! Had a good flavour. :: Garlic bread - was pretty disappointed with this, it did not have cheese or any flavour. It was pretty dry. Their portion sizes were very small and I don't think it was worth the money. Maybe if I dine-in there it might be better and more fresh. read more

Not good. Food was salty overpriced and front staff not very friendly. We went based on their website reviews, very disappointing.

Had a late lunch here and ordered at thr cashier two pastas: smoked salmon (with capers tomato, bread crumbs) pasta plate special, and the Amatriciana (red wine tomato sauce topped with "pork cheeks). The in house made pasta all contain eggs, and we get to select the cut of pasta or go with the recommendation. Also, we ordered garlic bread to soak up the sauce from our meals. The food could use some tweaking in the flavours. The salmon and capers pasta was too salty and detracted from fully appeciating this dish. Perhaps the capers just put it over the top? The tomato and wine sauce in the Amatriciana was pleasant. The crisped pork cheeks were more like pieces of bacon which gave the dish a smokey flavour, but the more burnt bits left a slight bitter taste. The garlic bread was a bit dense and dry. Didn't seem fresh. The restaurant interior is quite rustic, a little drafty, and a smaller venue with mainly café like tables for two with a pricier menu. Well, at least the service was friendly and attentive. read more

Came here for my brother's birthday. We love cooking and eating Italian food, and our standards were high, and Casereccio impressed us. The sauces, particularly the tomato-based ones, are fantastic. The amatriciana and the arrabiata were absolutely delicious, as was the porcini and cream. They do not skimp on the toppings, whether it's guanciale or porcini. Also ordered the meatballs, which were a great deal at $13, the spinach ravioli, and the bolognese lasagna. My only gripe was that the lasagna was overcooked for my liking and was bordering on mushy, but it's because the pasta is fresh and thus unlike the al dente dried pasta I'm more used to seeing in lasagna. The cannolis are rather large and taste great! The ricotta is good, the Italian pastry cream was a bit of a miss, but the chocolate is DIVINE. Imagine an ultra-thick hazelnutty ganache and that would be the filling. The only thing I ordered that I did not like at all was the pesto gnocchi. Not because the gnocchi was subpar (it was great), but because the sauce felt aggressively salty. However, when I asked the chef if that was normal, he without hestitation offered to fire me up another one with a different sauce. 10/10 service, I probably would just fade the pesto if you like your food a bit less salty. Keep in mind the portions are also small in general (all this food was for 3 people), so don't be shy to order a pasta per person along with an entree to share. read more

Probably the best pasta I've had in my life. The fresh pasta was the perfect al dente and so delicious. The pesto tasted like the basil was crushed today. The perfect blend of fragrant from the basil and nutty from the pine nut, both not overpowering. The burrata was a wonderful to add on top. The bolognese was perfectly meaty and tomato-y without being too acidic. The rigatoni picked up the sauce in its pockets and each bite was so delicious. The lasagne was the perfect homey dish. It was hearty and full of flavor. Not too cheesy and not too meaty. Garlic bread was perfectly toasted and not too salty. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. The staff are friendly and excited to talk about their dishes. The indoor seating isn't air conditioned so you might be better off sitting outside during the summer. read more

We are so grateful to have found Casereccio Foods Coffee/Pasta Bar. We shared the mushrooms, garlic bread, Classic Bolognese Lasagna, Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna, Classic Cannoli cherry ice cream. The food literally melts in your mouth with delightful flavors. The amount of food is satisfying and it is best to be hungry before eating as you will be full after. I had a couple of glasses of pinot grigio that complimented my meal. We took home two croissants for breakfast and these were perfect!!!! The service is very attentive and respectful. Casereccio Foods Coffee/Pasta Bar is clean, fresh and feels welcoming. We are grateful for the best dining experience and we will return often. read more

Casereccio Foods - Looking at the menu. Everything looks so good!!! - Italian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Came to try a pastry in the morning. Lots of cornetti to choose from. I ordered an apricot cornetto and a London fog. The cornetto was very good, soft and buttery. The London fog wasn't bad but I would definitely recommend something else; it was made with Twinings tea which is just not the best tea and I wasn't really getting the vanilla. Maybe I should've known better than to not order coffee at an Italian cafe - that's what I'll get next time if I stop by again. Also I told them it was for here and they still gave me a disposable cup, so I thought maybe they didn't have mugs, but then other customers after me got mugs and glasses. Maybe just a mistake but still annoying. read more

The BEST Italian pasta we've had in the city so far!! There are so many options of freshly made pasta to choose from. We ordered the Carbonara ($21) with bucatini and the Amatriciana ($21) with tagliatelle. The carbonara was authentic, no cream but so creamy! The guanciale or Italian cured pork cheek in the pastas had a really nice smokey taste with a slight crunch. So tasty. We also loved the gelato. We got two flavours, pistachio and caramelized figs ($8.25) . It's creamy, airy, rich, light, and full of flavour. All at the same time. Yum. The place felt homey, welcoming, and laid back. Great service. We will definitely be back! read more

Food 2/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 1/5 Ok after walking by this place for years and reading all the reviews, which by the way were mind blowing good, my partner and I decided to give this place a try a few weeks ago. We were so excited and couldn't wait in anticipation BUT I have to be brutally honest here. We were SO DISAPPOINTED! Not only was the food bland, mushy pasta, waaaaay OVERPRICED for what it is, and portions SO tiny, but the service was awful. We were given a table outside which was fine but it was filthy and the we ordered ourselves by going into the restaurant where the cashier was. The pasta was so tiny that I swallowed the entire dish in 4 gulps... not joking. There was no service at all and the bill came to $62 plus tax and %18 tip for two bowls of small teeny weeny pasta. Comes with no free cheese or garlic bread! Seriously what a rip off! My partner waved down one of the hosts and asked for some hot sauce and no one helped us. I was so hungry afterwards I had to walk over to another restaurant to grab some Korean chicken. I left feeling scammed. Are the other reviews even legit? Am I the only one who thinks this place does not live up to its 5 star reviews? Never ever coming back! read more

There are some meals you will dream about and talk about forever. This was one of them for my husband and I! A family owned hidden little gem.

I wish we didn't live 10 hours away because we would be here regularly! Highly recommend! read more

This truly authentic Italian shop in Kitsilano on Vine Street sells fresh pastas (build your own), coffee, desserts, and gelatos. It's a small place with some outdoor seating. I had the bucatini in arrabbiata sauce, and it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was incredibly fresh and heavenly. Definitely a spot to try if you're ever in Vancouver. read more

Oh man. This is definitely my favourite Italian place in Vancouver. I've come a few times for their gelato which is literally out of this world. Get the hazelnut one if you like nuts. It is heavenly. It feels like you're eating the centre of an ice cream sandwich, but the most amazing nutty flavor. I finally got to stop in yesterday for some actual pasta. I ended up getting the carbonara and choosing spaghetti as the noodle choice. It did not disappoint. It was so delicious, but I scraped off every little bit of remaining sauce off my plate. The pancetta I was cooked perfectly and the creaminess was amazing. My friend got the porcini pasta and his mine was utterly blown. Everyone you ask who works there is extremely helpful. They help you make best decisions based on what you're interested in. This place is a little hole in the wall but it's so cosy and feels really authentic. I will be coming here for lunch and dinner very often. read more

I was in the neighbourhood running errands the other day and stopped in for a quick, late lunch. Casereccio was on my "foodie list" for awhile and it certainly lived up to the hype. What I loved most was the simplicity -- no fuss, just really good quality food and service. Walking in, I immediately felt welcomed. The smell from the kitchen was homey and comforting, and the person at the till was nice and friendly. The tomato mozzarella calzone I had was affordable and filling. Warm, pillowy soft dough, flavourful sauce, and melty cheese...mmm, so good. If I lived closer, I definitely would've ordered some pasta to take home too. Would also recommend the gelato! read more

The food was amazing, but you have to know how this place operates. Everybody orders at the counter, even those who have a reservation. Sometimes there's a long line but you'll need to wait in it, even if you have a reservation -- first to get your table and then to place your order. It's worth it though! It also has lots of carry out business and I can see why! read more

They also have frozen ones ready to go if you can't get enough and want some more (what happened to us!). Their garlic bread was also worth trying! Basically, everything is delicious there.

My family and I just had the most enjoyable evening. The restaurant was very busy but worth the wait! The restaurant had amazing service from when we entered the restaurant. The host apologized for the delay in seating since I had a reservation but regardless ,took the time to explain the menu and make suggestions . The pasta dishes were all very authentic and delicious. When we left, the host gave us complimentary gelato and connolis while still apologizing. We really appreciated the fantastic service! We will be back soon read more

This boutique Italian cafe is super addictive. First I came here for its cappuccino brewed smooth and fluffy. Next came the cornetto, an Italian version of a croissant filled with vanilla cream that is baked fresh. Thirdly I had various flavours of their fresh made seasonal gelato - BC local strawberries, anyone? Black currants also hits the spot. My next visit, I ordered Mama's famous linguini carbonara. It was amazing - probably my favourite in Vancouver. Al dente, flavourful without being heavy. I also loved the Arrabbiata version too. The decor is nothing fancy and they only have 4 tables plus 6 patio tables. I don't come here to romance my significant other with ambience but to wow her with a gourmet sensation. It is family owned and you see mama in the kitchen all the time. This place is a true gem! read more

I was craving baked mac and cheese and ordered some on Uber Eats. (I'd previously seen the menu in-person and it promised baked pasta with a nice blend of cheeses.) I should have made Kraft Dinner instead. The pasta was greasy enough to outshine a hormonal teenager's face, and the flavor was tolerable at best. I only finished it because of the $20 price tag (excluding delivery fees, taxes, and tip for the driver). I hope the experience is better in-person. read more

Tasty food but I can't find any item that is half healthy whatsoever... not even a salad. So tiny with limited seating and often they block off tables for reservations? Only beverages they serve is really just coffee. More like a tiny takeout place if you want pasta. Don't think they even serve wine? read more

I was delighted and will definitely return. It's a small deli like eatery with delicious made to order pasta dishes. Although the options are not extensive, our party tried 3 of their pasta dishes and all were amazingly delicious. The space is very small but like I said it's more of a deli like setting. Super casual, you order you pay and get your food. It appears they have outside seating availability perhaps during better weather. The indoor seating has four small tables, it's quaint, a bit loud but enjoyable. Attentive service, and quick! read more

Found out about Casereccio from a local food blogger that I follow and her post of their pastries (especially their pastry cream croissant) and pastas made me drag the hubby to Kitsilano one fine morning. They are located on Vine and Broadway (just beside the corner car shop) and free street parking is available around the area too. Upon entry, you'll spot their "Ciao Bella" sign on the right and their freezer stocked with their pastas and food to cook at home. With the pandemic, they have installed plexiglass dividers and with a note to limit stays to an hour which is very reasonable & understandable. The staff were friendly and it feels like you're being transported to Italy. We ordered a pastry cream croissant for the hubby and meat pizza for me. I was initially thinking of getting their savoury croissant but as we were at the counter, they just started to display their pizzas and it looked too good to pass up. My pizza was topped with mozzarella, panchetta, spicy salami and ham -- it was so delicious! The crust was thin and had the right balance of crisp & chew. The toppings worked so well together and the spicy salami gave the right amount of kick to it plus they didn't scrimp on the amount of toppings. The husband really loved his croissant - it was flaky with a generous amount of pastry cream. We bought their butternut squash & scamorza ravioli and tomato meatballs to cook and eat at home and both were amazing! Highly recommend Casereccio Foods! Looking forward to trying more of their offerings again soonest. read more

I love this place, everything is so delicious! I love that it seems to be run by a family who are very active in their service. My only wish is that they had more options in terms of vegetarian dishes for breakfast and lunch. I love days when the soup is veggie but otherwise the tomato mozzarella calzone sells quick! And the pasta is delicious but more of a dinner amount for me! read more

Pasta was perfectly cooked with great sauce, gelato was super yummy, and everyone is so nice!

My friend told me this has the best gelato in Vancouver. So of course I'd try it out. But lunch first. I had the Arrabbiata (spicy tomato sauce) with fuselli pasta. The pasta sauce was nicely done, fresh and spicy, pasta had good texture as well. Lightly cheesed on top. I'd say it's pretty good but I'll try other sauces next time. 17+tx/tip (basically 20) for a medium sized pasta is a bit pricey as well, esp since there's no garlic bread (maybe a western thing?) and this is just a cafe. I had a scoop of Tiramisu since it seemed popular. I can taste its freshness, lady finger was flaky and moist. I'm on the fence compared to Bela though. Definitely coming back for other flavours. oh -1 star because a little friend popped out of the kitchen hallway, said hi under the utensils cart and disappeared under the fridge. Was cute but seemed underfed. read more

Tucked away on a sleepy side street off Broadway, this coffee shop / eatery seems mostly to cater to takeout. We visited to try the coronetti but decided to give the scone and muffin a try. I want to note they have a large pasta menu and also have homemade ice cream, this review is only for coffee. Service was excellent and accommodating, nice that they have jam and butter available! You need to specify how many shots you want in a medium espresso otherwise it defaults to one. This was quickly remedied by ordering another shot. They have a few indoor tables and a narrow covered patio. Overall worth the visit. 4.3 rating read more
