Located in Cambie Village in a building with a sense of character and history — Osteria Elio Volpe was previously a mechanic’s shop — the 4,200 square foot space features 115 seats, an expansive open-air dining room, and focal bar with wrap-around seating. An intimate and social space for occasions both celebratory and casual.

Elio Volpe, our namesake fox, is young, carefree and curious; similarly, Elio’s home is irreverent, playful and beautifully exemplifies the best of Italian hospitality with a distinctly sunny disposition.

Taking cues from Italy’s storied south, with its famed coasts and islands, rich history, and relaxed lifestyle, Elio Volpe celebrates the best ingredients from the Pacific Northwest as inspired by il mezzogiorno, the ancient seafaring term for the wind from the south, now colloquially used to describe that part of the country.

Above all else, Elio celebrates liveliness, warmth, a lust for life, and a deep love of food.
