Hours of Operation:
Di Beppe was one of my favorite restaurants that we visited in Vancouver. From the moment we walked in, it had such a warm, cozy, and comforting atmosphere that made us want to slow down and enjoy the meal. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so I highly recommend making a reservation, especially during peak dining hours, to ensure you can get a table.
Since Di Beppe is located in the heart of Gastown, on-site parking is limited. We parked in a nearby parking garage, paid for parking, and took a short walk to the restaurant. If you’re visiting the area, that’s probably the easiest option. You could also take an Uber or Lyft, bike, or even use a scooter since Gastown is a very walkable neighborhood.
One of the highlights of our visit was the incredible staff. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations from the menu, which made choosing what to order much easier. The friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and authentic Italian food made this one of the most memorable meals of our trip.
One of my favorite things about Di Beppe is the variety on the menu. Whether you’re looking for a light appetizer, classic Italian pasta, wood-fired pizza, or a decadent dessert, there’s something for everyone.
The menu begins with a selection of antipasti, including dishes like Beef Carpaccio, Burrata Caprese, Vitello Tonnato, Stuffed Castelvetrano Olives, Meatballs di Beppe, fresh salads, marinated olives, and warm House-Made Focaccia served with extra virgin olive oil.
Pizza lovers have plenty of choices, from classics like the Margherita and Americana (pepperoni and mushrooms) to specialty pizzas such as the Diavola, Mortadella, Primavera, Capricciosa, Salsiccia, and Ortolana. If you’re dining with a larger group, many pizzas can also be ordered in a larger size for sharing.
The pasta menu features traditional Italian favorites, and you can choose between spaghetti or rigatoni for most dishes. Options include the simple yet flavorful Pomodoro, creamy Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana, Puttanesca, Aglio Olio e Peperoncino, and Pesto Rosso. There are also comforting baked dishes like Lasagne alla Bolognese and Eggplant Parmigiana, with gluten-free pasta available for an additional charge.
If you’re visiting during the afternoon, don’t miss Happy Hour, offered daily from 2:00–5:00 p.m. Specials include $15 off any bottle of wine, discounted classic Italian-inspired cocktails like the Aperol Spritz, Negroni, Bellini Italiano, and Limoncello Spritz, along with house wines, prosecco, and draft beer.
Be sure to save room for dessert! Di Beppe offers classic Italian sweets including soft gelato, cannoli, and tiramisu, along with a full coffee menu featuring espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, affogatos, and mochas. For those wanting a true Italian dining experience, there’s also an extensive selection of dessert wines, amari, vermouths, limoncello, and grappas to finish your meal.
