ABOUT US
Since opening our first Nook in Vancouver’s West End in 2009, we’ve been dedicated to creating a space where locals can come together over a shared love of food and drink. We pride ourselves on sourcing the freshest local ingredients, supporting our farmer friends, and importing exceptional products from Italy. At Nook, we serve our best in every dish—antipasto, housemade pasta and pizza—and pour great wine from small, passionate vineyards.
