Pizzeria Barbarella is the newest pizzeria to hit Vancouver, but it’s not the newest to hit the Metro Vancouver pizza scene. The owner is actually the previous owner of Ah-Beetz Pizza which was located in Abbotsford. It was once the only place to get authentic New York/Neapolitan pizza.

Psst. The Swallow Tail Secret Supper Soiree is back. Five Courses. Four Wine Tastings. Two Secret Locations. It’s one of the many Dine Out Vancouver food events happening this year and this “pop up restaurant event” is great for those who like surprises.

With a focus on paninis, the lunch menu is rather limited and simple, but the food is homemade with care. The place is trendy, the portions are fair, and the prices are reasonable and affordable for the area, which makes BREAD an easy local favourite.

Sweet Revenge Patisserie is one of Vancouver’s few dessert only restaurants. I was charmed by the quaintness of the room, but the home made aspect of the desserts didn’t translate nearly as much as the ambiance suggested.

It’s the 10th Annual Dine Out Vancouver from January 20 – February 5, 2012. I don’t know if it really needs any explanation, but it’s basically a food festival featuring 231 restaurants offering a set menu for $18, $28 or $38.

It’s an Italian family owned and operated hidden gem serving Southern Italian style dishes, but there are a lot of Northern style dishes too. The food isn’t quite authentic, but more authentic than most and overall I’d say it’s better than average, but not amazing.
