Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Nanaimo

Exceptional service, great food. Highly recommend the Big Dip and the mousse for dessert.

Every aspect of our experience at Pepino’s was outstanding. From the ABBA playing in the background to the incredible service, everything felt so thoughtfully done. We were celebrating my partner’s birthday, and the staff went out of their way to make him feel special. The interior design, atmosphere, and of course the food were all memorable. I ordered the Martini del Fico, which might just be the best martini in Vancouver. The whole place has a little bit of that 1970s New York Italian restaurant, old-school mobster charm, in the best possible way. A truly fantastic evening. Can't wait to go back!

Our server was awesome. They were very attentive; checking in at the right times to see if we needed anything. The food came fairly quickly and we loved the hot honey capicola pizza that was served hot with fresh ingredients. Happy hour had lots of good food & drink choices.

The seating was good, service was exceptional, food came quickly and exactly per our dietary requirements.

Fantastic experience. Always a positive vibe here. We were a bit behind on a busy night..they kept our reservation and were so kind about it. THANK YOU. Espresso martinis are so good !
