  There is no better place to eat! Period.
  Food- excellent
  Service-excellent
  Value-excellent
  North Vancouver is not exactly known for its culinary excellence, then you discover this little tucked away piece of perfection. I can only say I loved everything.

  it was an early bday celebration for bestie s as she was going to be away for her actual bday. the bfs of the besties also tagged along and ofc bestie p was there!
  
  bestie s and her bf was alr there when we got to the restaurant, it was pouring outside also, so we were rly wet. the restaurant is a lot smaller than i envisioned it to be - beware of that and the tightness? it got quite loud as it was a busy night so you do need to shout a bit if you want to have a conversation with frds.
  
  s was alr having a pate with her bf as he was hungry - it seemed decent and she didn't rly voice any complaints. p, s and i shared the house red that she ordered then we ordered our mains.
  
  s' bf and i both ordered the squid spaghetti with crab and prawns - the portion size is def decent. you do have to ask for pepper as that wasn't offered. the dish can get a bit heavy as the crab was mixed with a cream-based sauce. the prawns were yummy and i love the spaghetti - it was perfectly al dente.
  
  s ordered the casarecce, which came with chicken. s wasn't able to finish her dish as she stole bites of her bf's. i snuck a bite of hers and the chicken was delish as was the pasta. i found the chicken pieces to be a bit large tho.
  
  p's fiance ordered the parpadelle bolognese. a little mishap here as there was alr grated cheese on top. d doesn't rly like cheese or rather he tolerates it on certain dishes. he found the dish to be tasty.
  
  p had the pasta of the day, which was tortellini with procini. there was no protein in this dish and p found that, while the dish was good, it wasn't rly worth the $28 that it was listed. i had a tortellini - the pasta was cooked well and it was filled with cheese.
  
  then came dessert time - s ordered tiramisu and i requested a candle for bday purposes ofc! i had the chocolate hazelnut tarte. s makes her own tiramisu so there was comparison there! each were good on their own tbh. omg the tarte - I LOVED THE TARTE. the tarte was nicely sized slice with this crunchy bottom part. it was basically a ferrero rocher for me, which is one of my fav chocolates.
  
  this place is super close to my office and i want to come back for lunch! we didn't get to try the bread this time - that's def an excuse now!

  Ascolta adesso! Orto Artisan Pasta is the hidden gem of North Vancouver  This little Italy  away from home is a sure try for those looking for authentic artisan handmade pasta  To try includes their squid ink pasta with topped up crab meat  and prawns  Those garlic seasoning will surely leave you wanting more! The tagiolini carbonara promises to satisfy the creamy soul with their shaved parmesan and yummy pan fried panacotta mixed in with egg yolk  Don't let their rather small portions trick you - it sure will fill you up! We also had their daily soup , broccoli parmesan soup, and chicken liver pâté - oh the rich creamy pâté... To top everything off you must order their tiramisu that's perfectly crafted with soaked ladyfingers!

  Found this gem on yelp after visiting the suspension bridge. Amazing family owned location with great food and a small town feel. It felt like we were eating in the family home. A must if you are in North Vancouver.

  I was looking for a place that made local handmade Italian style pastas and I found it!! I've been here before when it was a bakery and Soba place and as happy I was then I'm just as happy to know that this is now Italian food.  Who doesn't love pasta?  Cmon!  Noodles are probably the most favourite food to eat in all kinds of cultures.   Paperdelle is one of my favourite pastas and with a basic bolognese sauce?  I could eat this every day.  I definitely will come back.  When it comes to Italian pasta and it's all made in house from scratch.  You can't go wrong.  I'm starting to like North Van more often now.  Nice community!
