It’s no secret that Metro Vancouver is home to some incredible award-winning restaurants. Just take a look at Spacca Napoli, recently named Canada’s top pizzeria by Gambero Rosso. But now, another Vancouver spot has been recognized as a top destination for Italian food.
Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill in Yaletown was just listed as 42nd in the world for Italian cuisine by 50 Top Italy. This list includes restaurants both inside and outside of Italy.
The only other Canadian restaurants to make the list are Don Alfonso (10th) and DaNico (third), both of which are in Toronto.
Over 350 inspectors travelled the globe, compiling a list of 50 international restaurants for the prestigious 50 Top Italy ceremony.
Cioppino’s is known for its Mediterranean cooking and killer pasta from the mind of chef/owner Giuseppe “Pino” Posteraro. It’s received fanfare from numerous celebrities, including Drake and Pedro Pascal.
While the award is big news for Cioppino’s, those wanting to enjoy its world-class Italian food only have a few days left to do so. Cioppino’s told Dished in May 2024 that it will be closing and its final day of service will be December 21, 2024.
