Whistler’s Cozy Italian Nook

🍝 Pasta Lupino – Whistler’s Cozy Italian Nook (★★★☆☆) 📍 Location: 4359 Main St, Whistler Village 💰 Price: ~$32.50 CAD per person (after tax, for set menu) ⏰ Hours: 5PM–9:30PM (closed Tuesdays) 🍽️ The Meal: Set Menu Simplicity This tiny trattoria keeps it simple with a rotating pasta set menu (5–6 options nightly). Want customization? It’s possible—but pricier. 🍅 What We Ordered: ✅ Lasagna (Set Menu) • Layers of spinach, ground meat, and gooey cheese—hearty and satisfying. • Tomato sauce leans tangy (if you hate acidity, ask for extra cheese). • Winner over the meatball pasta (which was drier and less flavorful). ✅ Add-Ons: • House salad (fresh but basic) or soup of the day (creamy tomato = solid pick). ⏳ The Catch: Slow & Steady • Understaffed vibes—waiting for menus, food, and bills took patience. • Not for hangry skiers—this is a slow-carb meal. 🚗 Parking Hack: • $2.50 CAD/hour in village lots, but free after 7PM. 🍷 Pair It With: Their Chianti by the glass ($12) cuts through the tomato acidity nicely. 💡 Pro Tips: 1️⃣ Book ahead—it’s tiny (like 10 tables). 2️⃣ Go for the lasagna (trust us). 3️⃣ Dine post-7PM to save on parking. 🏔️ Final Verdict: "Good, not great." Ideal for low-key pasta cravings, but don’t expect Nonna’s magic. #WhistlerPasta #SetMenuLife #LasagnaLover #SlowDining
