Since opening in 1988, Il Nido has consistently ranked in the top echelon of Vancouver restaurants. Here, BC's finest ingredients are used to create dishes reminiscent of Northern Italy - "the food of kings, peasants and, everyone in between". Traditional fish, meat and pasta dishes are made luxuriously with the use of non-tradional herbs and spices, such as saffron and ginger. Sauces are lean and light. Fresh fish and vegetables are staples. Desserts are homemade and spectacular.

With its elegant yet, informal atmosphere, muted/understated decor and, sunny patio this "Nest In The City" is a destination for those who enjoy wonderful food and good conversation. Groups of upto 70 are welcome and custom menus are easily designed. As Il Nido continues as one of Vancouver's finest restaurants, evolving with imagination and inventiveness, its motto remains: Everyone Leaves Happy.
