"It’s hard to categorize this inviting Yaletown restaurant with warm, cherrywood interior – the name comes from San Francisco’s cioppino fish stew, but some food is French-influenced, other Italian."
Zagat4.6
"An open kitchen and patio tables add to the appeal, and while you may have to “open the bank vault before you go”, it’s still a “place to see and be seen."" Full review
Travel + Leisure "Easily the best Italian restaurant in the city, Cioppino's is helmed by chef Giuseppe Posteraro, who is as much an artist as he is a cook"
