Giusti is one of the best italian restaurants in Vancouver for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Vancouver.

Editorial review•May 5, 2026

Giusti arrived in Mount Pleasant's Ashnola Building in late 2025, and the project has the fingerprints of a team that knows exactly what it wants to be: a contemporary neighbourhood Italian room built around hand-rolled, frequently egg-fortified pasta, with a menu short enough that every dish on it has to justify its place. The setting does real work — tall windows, old chandeliers, candlelight — and by early accounts the room has become one of the more considered new openings along the Main Street corridor. The kitchen's apparent philosophy is restraint over abundance, trusting technique and produce rather than menu length to make the case. The dishes generating the most consistent attention are telling ones. The anolini with 'nduja is the pasta diners and early critics point to when describing the kitchen's precision — small, tightly constructed, and reportedly carrying a quiet heat from the 'nduja without tipping into blunt spice. The gnocchi and the lasagna draw comparable praise from regulars, with the lasagna in particular attracting the kind of confident superlatives — best in the city — that tend to follow dishes that deliver on a clear, well-understood standard. The tiramisu appears to be the dessert the room is building a reputation around. For those wanting the fullest picture of what the kitchen can do, the seven-course tasting menu at $75 is the format most often recommended, offering a structured read on the team's range without the guesswork of ordering à la carte. Service is described as attentive without becoming intrusive — a distinction that matters in a room pitched at occasions that deserve room to breathe. Reservations are advisable; a short menu and a team with industry pedigree tend to fill seats quickly. If the tasting menu is available on your night, that is the version worth committing to.

Editorial review by Giovanni Ricci

There's a small ceremony to eating here that most Vancouver hot pot rooms skip: the cloisonné copper pots, the charcoal glowing underneath, the sense that dinner is an event rather than a transaction.
