Carnevale is just around the corner! Come and celebrate it with us! 

We shall have a magnificent feast prepared by Chef Claudio!

Begin with delectable appetizers. Try our antipasto "la piazza" for a delicious assortment of cured meats, fish, cheeses and marinated vegetables.

Next enjoy your entree. What would you like? A fresh and perfectly seasoned pasta or a hearty carne? Or perhaps you'd like both! Remember this is a time for feasting and celebrating so don't be shy! Try our fettuccine al pistachio for the richness of Chef Claudio's pistachio pesto cream sauce. What about a cut of grilled AAA tenderloin beef? Order the filetto di bue al pepe verde!

Lastly but certainly not least - for what would Carnevale be without sweets - treat yourself to dessert. Perfect tiramisu and melt in your mouth créme caramel awaits you here at La Piazza Dario.

Join us anytime for your Carnevale feast!

Family Day is just around the corner...

...Or, as we like to call it around here, giorno di famiglia!

As we imagine many families throughout B.C. are, here at La Piazza Dario we're looking forward to taking a bit of time this weekend to enjoy our family. Being a fairly new holiday in our province, Family Day is a welcome break between the festivities and celebrations of the New Year, and the Spring.

So, it is with great pleasure that we warmly welcome you to bring your family to ours this long weekend and enjoy each other's company over some delicious, heartwarming Italian food!

Reminder: 

We are closed on statutory holidays, including this upcoming Monday, February 9th. That said, we hope to see you prior to Monday, over the weekend!
