Fodor's Review:

Gold walls, arched windows, and terra-cotta tiles—and its crowd-pleasing modern Italian menu—make this Tuscan-inspired restaurant appropriate for a business meal, a romantic tête-à-tête, or just a relaxing dinner at the end of a long day. The heated terrace, shielded with greenery, feels a long way from busy Robson Street below. Inside, there's a lively scene around the hand-carved marble bar. The food, from the open kitchen and the wood-fire grill, oven, and rotisserie, changes seasonally, but might include whole grilled sea bass stuffed with cherry tomatoes, olives, and fennel; beef tenderloin with chanterelles; and thin-crust wood-fired pizza.

If you have a seasoned palate and are looking to experience the art of a seasoned chef on your plate, you are going to pay for it. We have had the pleasure of dining at all of TopTable’s fine establishments in Vancouver and CinCin compares to some of the top Italian restaurants in the world. The food was exceptional, the wine list was impressive and the service gracious. We highly recommend it!

This is absolutely the most rip-off restaurant I have ever been to. I have traveled all over the world, and this this restaurant is as close as your to get to being an absolute thief. The food is below average, the service is OK, but the prices absolutely ridiculous. We had 25 people, ordered 4 appetizers that would feed about 4 people, and we were charged $15 per person. I would NEVER go this this con artist again. We had a below average meal that cost an average of $150 per person, with wine. Please help put this place out of business, it gives Vancouver and Canada a horrible name. Whoever owns this restaurant, is a common criminal.

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of the concierge of our hotel. We were very disappointed in our experience. Our primary waiter was fine, but the bus boy was rude and condescending. My friend asked to take her fork off of her plate after the sub-standard appetizer and was told that "you can leave that on your plate. We're fancy here." We should have walked out, but we didn't. We had an $18 appetizer which consisted of 2 small roasted tomatoes, a small ball of buffalo mozarella and a few pieces of arugula. Certainly not enough for 3 hungry girls trying to fill up before the marathon. The main course was certainly not worth the price and the entire experience was very disappointing. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Exluding the fact that the floor inside is VERY slippery, this restaurant is perfect! Great views, great food, great service, it's all great!
