Autostrada Osteria | Vancouver's Hidden Italian Gem 🍝✨

📍 Autostrada Osteria Tucked under a bridge, big on flavor! 🍽️ The Highlights: ✔ Dungeness Crab Linguine 🦀🌶️ Perfectly al dente pasta coated in a rich, crab-infused sauce—surprisingly reminiscent of Chinese spicy crawfish (in the best way!). ✔ Fazzoletti ("Handkerchief" Pasta) 🧵 Wide, chewy ribbons with pea pesto (if you love biang biang noodles, this is your Italian soulmate!). ✔ Steak 🥩 Juicy cut with crispy tea-infused greens—unexpected but delicious! 🍷 Pairing Pro Tip: The white anchovy toast demands a crisp white wine—it’s summer in a bite (if you can handle the tang!). ⚠️ Room for Improvement: • Burrata salad = salt roulette (some bites too salty!) • Tiramisu = a tad too sweet for Italian standards • Raspberry sorbet = mouth-puckeringly tart (sharing advised!) ✨ Why We’ll Be Back: ✔ Handmade pasta mastery ✔ Cozy, no-frills vibe (like dining in a Tuscan alley) ✔ That crab linguine haunts our dreams #AutostradaOsteria #HiddenItalian #VanPasta #CrabLinguineLove #HandkerchiefPasta #UnderTheBridgeEats #NoFrillsFlavor #WinePairing #TiramisuTooSweet #VanFoodFinds
