Del Vecchio Pasta Fresca — Restaurant in Salt Spring Island Electoral Area

A wonderful place for pasta and pizza! The pizza comes in a thin crunchy crust, or a thick focaccia bread style, both of which were delicious! Pictured in this review are the margarita and garlic sausage pizzas, which can be bought by the slice when available in the front display. The pasta took a little longer to come out, I assume also because of the large crowd of people that were lined up with us. But it was well worth the wait as the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the pesto and porcini mushroom pastas we ordered tasted amazing and flavourful. I love the unique pasta shapes and how the ridges trap all the sauce inside as well! Would definitely recommend trying this place, but do be aware that the pasta may take a little longer to come out if you’re expecting to grab...

Food looked wonderful - unfortunately we never got any.

Ordered and paid for a pizza, waited an hour (with a couple of apologies and excuses from the front-of-house staff about running out of mozzarella) - then asked about the pizza only to find out it hadn't even been started. Asked for our money back, which to their credit they provided (as well as a small bottle of olive oil as an apology).

I would definitely consider going back - the food looked very good - but perhaps at a slightly different time than 8pm on a sunny summer Friday when they're a little overwhelmed. The wait for food for most of the other patrons was...

I dropped in to get their spinach ricotta cannelloni they were sold out. I tried it once a year ago and I have thought about it since. I live off island. They saw I was sad and I told them how I've been dreaming of it since then. They said they had sold out for the day. But the guy said if I could come back later in the day he would make me some fresh! I was so excited and agreed I went and got it and so excited to eat it again! I got their pesto and bocconcini nd if it's anything like their pasta it'll be amazing. The staff are super helpful and amazing and food incredible :) Update: even better then I remembered...
