A winding stone staircase leads from bustling Robson Street to this celebrated Vancouver dining room, where guests are greeted by an antique Roman statue, fresh floral displays and the long, elegant marble bar with its comprehensive collection of grappas.

Tall arched windows open onto a secluded al fresco terrace. The main dining room, with its Ken Wallace original triptych painting, overlooks the open kitchen with wood-fired forno, grill and rotisserie—the feeling is warm and intimate, refracting the sights, sounds and smells from the cucina, and the comforting food that comes from it.
