Victoria Must-Try! 🤤 Cozy Italian Tapas Bar with Amazing Vibes

This charming little wine bar + restaurant in downtown Victoria has the perfect moody ambiance—dim lighting, intimate seating, and every table enjoying glasses of wine (though we skipped drinks since my friend isn't a fan 🥲). Still, the vibe was chef's kiss! 💋 🍤 Gambas con Coco (Coconut Curry Shrimp) - $17 Plump, juicy shrimp swimming in a golden, creamy coconut curry sauce—think Thai-inspired flavors! The sauce is so rich, you'll want to dip every bite of bread into it. Absolute heaven! 🥖✨ 🍗 Pollo Chipotle (Spicy Garlic Chicken Wings) - $18 These jumbo wings are coated in a fiery, garlicky chipotle glaze—super flavorful but quite spicy and oily! The wings were juicy, though the drumsticks were a tad overdone. Still, a solid choice for heat lovers! 🌶️🔥 🍝 Casarecce con Salsa Rose (Rose Sauce Pasta) - $26 Oops—thought this was a creamy pasta, but it's actually a spicy rose sauce! The short, curly casarecce noodles held the sauce perfectly, with tender chicken, mushrooms, and a hint of tangy goat cheese. Rich and heavy, so bread on the side is a must! 🍞🤌 💰 Final Bill: ~$37/person Pretty standard for a nice Western restaurant, and the service was fantastic—friendly, attentive staff! Definitely worth a visit. 👏 📍 Tapa Bar 620 Trounce Alley, Victoria, BC V8W 1K3 #ItalianCuisine #VibeyRestaurant #WineAndDine #HiddenGems #DateNightSpot #CozyBistro #AtmosphereGoals #FoodieAdventures #VictoriaEats #MustTry
