We are proud to offer our customers the finest in Italian cuisine prepared with a Mediterranean flair and served in a warm and inviting atmosphere.  A walk away from the busiest streets of Vancouver and across from Sutton Place Hotel, Don Francesco Ristorante, with its floor to ceiling windows reveals a dining pleasure.

The restaurant is divided into several areas, welcomed by a full bar at the entrance, and a romantically lit grouping of tables to the left looking over a large heated patio background by Burrard Street. A small opened kitchen-like bar where chefs prepare cold starters and salads are visually appealing with a confidence in the freshest ingredients. The soothing sight of fresh flowers and greens invite ones' eyes to a slightly more formal dining area to the back of the restaurant. A private dining room for parties or meetings completes the restaurant layout.

Thirty years of developing some of the finest Italian cuisines. Recipes from before brought back for your dining pleasures. Whether it's planning for private parties or business lunches and dinners, we promise a truly memorable dining experience.
