Italian cuisine is the heart and soul of Commercial Drive, a neighbourhood proudly rooted in its “Little Italy” heritage.

From traditional red-sauce joints to modern enotecas, the Drive offers an unparalleled depth of Italian dining.

La Grotta del Formaggio has been a landmark for decades, serving legendary sandwiches piled high with imported meats and cheeses.

For classic pasta in a warm, family setting, Arriva Ristorante Italiano delivers comfort and authenticity, while Pepino’s Spaghetti House offers old-school charm with its hearty, affordable plates.

For a modern twist, Sopra Sotto serves wood-fired pizzas and inventive small plates, and Bar Corso brings Italian aperitivo culture to life with cicchetti and carefully curated wines.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice from Fire Pizza or settling in for a long, leisurely dinner, the Drive’s Italian scene remains as vibrant and welcoming as ever.
