Dined here with a friend. Lamb shoulder dinner was cold and so was my friend's Mousaka. They charged us $2.50 when we asked for hummus instead of Tzatziki, not a plate of humour, about two or three tablespoons worth. Expensive and not worth a return visit. read more

Great food, pizza a favourite. Qualified, friendly staff. Never disappoints. Dinner reservations a must. read more

Third time that a Group of 10 went there last night. Some ordered pizza, some regular pasta dishes, but most the specialty pasta dishes. First time we went there, we had a waiter chase us as we were leaving, for they thought that one of our group did not leave a tip. The second time we were told that we had to be out of the restaurant for another group had reservations. I guess our $$ are not as good as anyone elses. We also had made reservations as a curtesy to the restaurant. Last night nailed the coffin shut for good. We ordered a variety of items as usual. Each of us spent about $25.00 -$30.00. Some of the pasta was over cooked, some under cooked, and all the specialty pasta was a Tapas Bar Size serving. We ordered extra bread which we were charged for, and the salad dressings tasted like vinegar was added to stretch it out. When one member of the group got home, she got another persons meal in her doggy bag, and it looks like her meal was thrown out. They lost at least 10 customers that could have come back at least 2 or 3 times a year. read more

My first time to order food from Minerva today. I ordered a large ham and pineapple pizza at 6pm. It did not arrive until 735pm (over an hour long). It was stone cold. The delivery man said they are too busy to put it in a bag to keep it warm. The pizza was awful. I was hard and rubbery. I was extremely disappointed. It cost $25. It's way over priced for the size and quality of an ordinary pizza. I will never order food from Minerva again. I would not recommend this place to anyone else. read more

This place is just amazing. All the food, and I mean ALL the food is just so above and beyond. Dishes I don't even like, I would order here because I know they will be amazing. Last night our party had chicken souvlaki, calamari, seafood linguine, and a tenderloin steak and another cut, I can't remember. But it was all so good, my god. The house red wine is also very nice. I have to mention the house salad dressing too. I seriously don't even know how to properly form words to fully give that dressing justice. I literally scrape the last bits of dressing onto my butterknife to get every last drop. Great place. Great for family's, a date, business. The service is really great too, the host is super awesome and friendly. And a lot of the male waiters are hunky looking Italians. Everyone likes handsome Italians right? So all in all, I've been here a few times and plan on coming here as long as I live in Vancouver. read more

We really wanted to like Minerva's and tried it twice. The kids really disliked the pizza and the adults were less than happy with the lamb kabobs. On the upside the service was good. Wouldn't be our first choice of places to eat. read more

Best calamari I've had in a long time.

My husband and I order take out pizza from here every month or two, and we're never disappointed. They use a delicious blend of cheeses, and get the top layer nice and toasty brown! Considering that we used to pay about $2 more at pizza hut for the same type of pizza (let's say a large plain cheese), I would say that the value offered for their pizzas is really good. We've tried several different types (ham, pineapple, veggie, etc) and we're always blown away by how good it is. Their pizza definitely hits the spot! read more

Great food. Family feel. Our number one go to! Amazing pizza especially the "B" on the pizza menu!!! Amazing!!!

I've been ordering from here for years. Since they have renovated, the quality of service and food has gone down. The more orders of garlic bread, the thinner each slice has become. The 3 ordered today split apart in the foil because they were cut so thin. The chocolate mousse cake, at $8.00. Half the time you get half a piece instead of a whole. The lack of consistency has become the norm for Minerva's. I order from them 2 or 3 times a week. Looks like I need to find a new place to eat. read more

The food is always great here. Big portions, big flavor. Last night I went for dinner here with my family, which was a great experience as always. I got he lamb shoulder, and other dishes ordered were the baby-back ribs, feature salad and calamari. I would recommend all those dishes if you plan to go. The only problem I had was at the end of our meal, I couldn't finish my meal (as the portions were quite generous), so I asked for the remainder of my meal doggy-bagged. Our server took my plate to pack what was left, but then she also took all the other plates and stacked them on top of my plate! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but she's supposed to take my meal, pack it, bring it back and then clear the finished plates. After she cleared our table, and brought my doggy-bag, she just left. She didn't ask if we wanted to order dessert or anything else. In which we were wanting to order dessert. After about 10 minutes, she came back and then asked if we wanted dessert, of course we said yes as that's what were waiting for. It took her another 10 minutes to come back to take our dessert order. Let's just say, I wasn't impressed with our server at all. read more

This place is extremely busy every night all through the week - which is a great indicator of how good it is. The ambience is warm and unpretentious. Reserve ahead or there's no guarantee of getting a table. Minerva's menu is extensive: continental, italian, greek - the kind of menu that makes choosing a challenge. One of their most famous entrees is the mouth watering Prime Rib served (at time of writing) only Friday nights and some special holidays. To ensure you get it, let them know you want it AND how you want it cooked when you make your reservation and they will hold the right cut for you. Two times the lamb chops weren't cooked to order but the server made it right. If your meal comes with salad, you can have it in advance plus they will offer substitutions. And yes, often the servers are often slammed busy but they are usually running their legs off. There is a lovely separate lounge/bar as well. Overall, Minerva's is not an inexpensive night but worth every cent. read more

i am fan of roast lamb .. its the best i have tasted in Vancouver & san jose.. i visited this place multiple times before posting this review. taste was consistent and the meet was thoroughly cooked so that the juicy lamb would melt in your mouth along with spices .. loved it.. read more

attention picky eaters and food critics:: excellent food!! i am ever so picky when it comes to eating at restaurants and minerva's is delicious hands down!! always greeted when you walk in, they play beautiful music, the waiters/ waitresses and servers are all very polite, they do not bombard you ever 5 minutes, but check up enough for you to be satisfied with the service. free delivery in the evening, waiters/ waitresses look well-kept and nice uniforms. the food is great. pizza, fettuccine alfredo, baked lasagne, even their chicken caesar salad is the best i've ever had yet. the chicken- not to mention a generous amount- was delicious. the owners/ staff are very friendly with the customers and take the time to have conversations, pop by to see how everything is. the pasta dishes are generous in serving size and comes with garlic bread. i always end up bringing home enough for a meal later on. you can taste the fresh ingredients, you can taste all of the spices they use. the only complaint i have about the restaurant is that i have difficulty choosing what i want because all of the dishes sound/ looks amazing!! customer service 10/10 food 10/10 location 10/10 would i return? time after time again amazing job in running such a fantastic restaurant read more
