🇨🇦 Victoria | Italy restaurant with great value for money

A friend recommended this spot, and it’s such a gem! It’s right in Downtown—super easy to find—and the vibe? So cozy and lively, perfect for a casual meal with good company. 📍 Let’s start with the food, because wow. The seafood pasta is a must—cheese is oozing everywhere, and the portion? Generous to the max. Every forkful is creamy, cheesy, and packed with fresh seafood. Yum! 🧀 But the star? Mussels de cha cha cha—love that cute name! 😆 The mussels are in this tangy, spicy sauce that’s so (appetizing)—sour, a little spicy, and totally addictive. And the mussel meat? Tender as can be, no chewy bits at all. Oh, and the butter prawns with coconut milk? Game-changing. The sauce is rich, creamy, and has that subtle coconut sweetness—dip a piece of bread in it, and you’ll be in food heaven. I almost licked the plate clean! 🦐 Don’t skip the drinks either! We tried the Little Havana—rum, lime, and pineapple juice. It’s fruity, refreshing, and goes so well with the food. Perfect for washing down all that deliciousness! 🍹 The best part? The whole meal—with all these dishes and drinks—only came to a little over 100 CAD. Such a steal, especially since nothing disappointed. We’ll definitely be back! 📍 Tapa Bar #VictoriaCanada #SeafoodPasta #GarlicButterPrawns #CanadaTravel #FoodieLife
