Aquafarina | Vancouver's Most Extravagant Italian Experience

💎 First Impressions: Walking into Aquafarina feels like stepping into a European billionaire's dining room—chandeliers, that flying Pinocchio sculpture (quirky touch!), and a crackling fireplace lounge set the mood for special occasions only. 🍽️ The Food Breakdown: 🐂 Wagyu Beef Carpaccio • Insta-worthy plating, but flavors? Solid, not stellar. A safe starter. 🪿 Romeo & Juliet • Dumpling-shaped foie gras parcels (tricked me into thinking they were Sichuan wontons!). • Truffle + shrimp crackle crunch = fancy. • Foie gras slightly gamey (did Romeo skip bath day?). 🍕 Tartufo Nero Pizza + Wild Mushroom Topping • My favorite dish! Normally anti-pizza (thanks, childhood Pizza Hut trauma), but… • Crispy crust + earthy mushrooms = addictive. 🍰 Tiramisu • BEST. EVER. A server pours espresso into its center hole—cloud-like texture, not too sweet. ORDER IT. 📍 Address: 425 W Georgia St, Vancouver ✨ Why It Stands Out: ✔ Over-the-top luxe decor (but somehow not tacky) ✔ That tiramisu ritual (drama + deliciousness) ✔ Date-night magic (fireplace corner = 💘) #Aquafarina #VancouverFineDining #ItalianInVan #SpecialOccasionEats #TiramisuHeaven #FoodAsArt #DateNightGoals #SplurgeWorthy #MushroomPizza #FoieGrasDumplings
