Coming in a little late on this thread, but thanks Daddy-A and peppyre for putting me on track. I, like soo many others, am an Artigiano supporter.. not only because they have the best coffee in town (most of mine comes from West Pender, the Village in West Van, and my cafetera), but also because every cafe has adequate staff to serve it up....when you need it. I take my espresso short and straight up, and its going to be tough to convince my palet that there is a better taste than the one that comes with an espresso from Caffe Artigiano.....especially following a nice meal!

I'd be very interested in joining Burger Club (thats the last I speak those words :) I have never specifically gone out looking for Vancouver's best beef burger.. I will now!! Rosco

I surely have not made as many salad combination as you, but one that I tend to make these days is tomato and avacato, chopped with salt, olive oil and fresh lemon juice to taste. Its kind of like the tomato and cucumber, but with a much more interesting texture. Rosco

Coming from Toronto, namely Woodbridge I have been spoiled with some of the best Italian cuisine in Canada. I have not had too much luck eating Italian in Vancouver...yet. Any suggestions??

I can only mention one restaurant in which I had a decent Osso Buco, and it was at Piccolo Mondo Restaurant in Vancouver. I found it expensive but typical for a northern Italian style cuisine. Other than that I too would like to know what Italian restaurants in Vancouver are worth going to?? Something good old, simple, tratoria style (ie Mastro Roberto (Woodbridge Ontario)
