Reviews for Robba da Matti (Yaletown) in Vancouver, BC

Don’t even think - order the date night special it’s the best deal you can get. Crab ravioli and the seafood pasta are both... splendid. One star missing cos the restaurant is so crammed and stuffy in summer it wasn’t the best dining experience. Go tothe west end one instead! Read more

Had high expectations for this place seeing as it has been in Yaletown for quite awhile. However, at the price range of $30 per... pasta it simply does not hold up with the competition around Vancouver. By no means was the food bad, you are just much betteroff spending your money elsewhere. Otherwise, the service was good and quick. Read more

Service was awesome. Food not so much. Some dishes were great, like the burrata salad, and the gnocchi. The carbonara I had to... spit it out because something in it was definitely old and went bad. I sent it back and got a different pasta which was reallygood. I asked to check with the kitchen what the problem is or which ingredient has gone bad but never got a response on that.Also the mussels did not taste fresh, but was told that they get fresh ones every other day. Other than that, the food issimple and good, but nothing exceptional, however the price is very reasonable so I would recommend trying. Read more

Popped in here early on a friday after reading reviews, definitely recommend a reservation. We lucked out in getting a table.... First off this place is run like a well oiled machine, with all women at the helm, very efficient from the service to the mealitself. I was very impressed. Now the food, I read about the date night special so we chose that thinking that for the price anddining in Vancouver the portions may be small but that was far from the case. The photos are the appetizers, the special alsoincluded 2 pastas and 2 desserts and a bottle of wine, needless to say we were very full. The food was amazing, I woulddefinitely go back and this time make a reservation. Read more

Great service, great vibe, great price and great food! Cozy and nice place, the course was a good deal, absolutely worth a try.... The salads were the best part, super fresh. The seafood risotto was quite salty on that day, other than that is a 10/10. Read more

Amazing food! Super tasty, fresh and the staff is super friendly as well!! We had Celeste salad, risotto, Pesto spaghetti, and... seafood spaghetti, which was my favourite one. Hats off to chef Laura!! ???????? Read more

I wasreally excited about this place but one thing I didn't know is all the pasta is "fatta in casa" meaning that it's chewy... and the spaghetti is actually spaghettoni (big fat noodles) which I don't love. But it's good if you like house made pasta. Theother deterrent I had was the fact that the kitchen was small, and they do not actually cook to order any of the pasta! It'sjust a container of precooked pasta they make at their other location, they just add it to the sauce when you order. This iskind of blasphemy, as pasta takes no time at all to boil... in spite of this, the pasta was not overdone, it's al dente (chewylike fresh pasta) but keep in mind they make it at the other location if you want fresh made or order I suggest going there. Thedishes are big and it is fairly authentic Italian flavours, the service is quite slow though, and the restaurant is very smallyou need to reserve a table. Oh, I also ordered a Prosecco which was an awesome portion (they filled my glass) but the waitressemptied a bottle and opened a new one, but a DIFFERENT KIND OF PROSECCO. I was pretty unimpressed by that, mixing wines? Wouldthey have done that with a white or red? That's not cool :-/ Would I give this place another chance? Maybe. But the otherlocation probably, so I could get fresh pasta. Too bad, they have a great menu. Read more

Small Italian place in yaletown. Food was tasty but service was very slow. We waited almost an hour in between when the starters... and main courses came out. This was on a weekday and we stepped out of the office for lunch - it’s a good thing we had someextra time that day otherwise we would have had to just leave to get back. Read more
