Kitsilano’s L’ufficio, a casual charmer located next to award-winning sister restaurant La Quercia, easily earned Vancouver Magazine’s first-place spot on the West Side. Hands-on chef owners Adam Pegg and Lucais Symes launched their pocket-sized enoteca and wine bar in 2013 and instantly won critical acclaim for their outstanding Northern Italian specialties delivered in a warm, rustic setting. A curated chalkboard menu lists an ever-changing tapas selection that’ll make your mouth water; salumi boards, cheese plates and simple-yet-sophisticated antipasti bites are paired flawlessly with a glass of Italian vino.
