Distance: ~0.922 km *

Owner Francesco Alongi's family has a long history of being in the restaurant business beginning with his grandfather in Italy, so you know what you eat here will be as true to the flavors of the native country as possible. Try risotto or the seafood linguine or a half chicken, Tuscan style. A house specialty is the wild game menu that features such items as boar in an Italian sweet and sour sauce. Have a glass of wine and toast to your health. Salute!

Amarcord
(Restaurants - Italian)
104-1168 Hamilton St between Davie & Helmcken Sts, Vancouver  V6B 2S2 • 604-681-6500

        Description: YALETOWN. It doesn't get more authentic than Amarcord, a trattoria offering the food and wine of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy without leaving the table. Gnocchi with sausage, linguini smothered in Bolognese sauce, or even the lighter insalata mista with greens delicately coated in olive oil and tangy balsamic, are all faithful to the flavors of this particular corner of Northern Italy. Cheese afficionados will appreciate sprinkling fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano on their pasta, and washing it all down with a Sangiovese red or Trebbiano white wine from the extensive list.
