In its first turn at the Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards, Ask For Luigi was named Restaurant of the Year, Best Casual, Best Italian Casual, and Best New Restaurant of the Year.
In the nine years since opening, the little neighbourhood eatery — operated by Kitchen Table Restaurants — has gone from strength to strength.
It continues to draw fans and followers for its consistently outstanding house-made pasta, buzzy atmosphere and exclusive Italian wine list, and regularly wins spots on “Best of” lists here and internationally.
Just last month, Ask For Luigi was listed as Recommended in the new MICHELIN® Guide Vancouver.
From November 8 to 30, Ask For Luigi will celebrate its nine-year anniversary and its inclusion in the first MICHELIN® Guide Vancouver with a special dinner menu of opening dishes, throwback favourites and brand-new flavours.
Guests who dined back in 2013 might remember the spicy kick of the Soft-boiled Egg topped with salmon roe and white anchovies, while those who have been pining for the throwback version of Duck Ragu with Pappardelle and pecorino will be delighted to see it back on the list.
New dishes include Roasted Bone Marrow served with black truffles, seasonal mushrooms, and gremolata; Braised Veal Cheeks Squash risotto; and for dessert, Bomboloni with pistachio cream.
Ask For Luigi’s Ninth Birthday Menu is available for dinner only, from November 8 to 30.
