ABOUT PEPINO’S SPAGHETTI HOUSELocated in the heart of Vancouver’s Little Italy, Pepino’s Spaghetti House — affectionately known as "The House that Spaghetti Built” — is a nostalgic, high-energy spot serving up Italian-American classics with character and charm. Housed in the former Nick’s Spaghetti House, a Commercial Drive institution for over 60 years, Pepino’s proudly carries on the legacy with its iconic wood-paneled walls, warm and welcoming booths, a vintage thatched-roof bar, and photographs lining the walls offering a snapshot into the past.
We serve up red sauce favourites like spaghetti and meatballs, deep dish pizzas, mozzarella sticks, and legendary tiramisu — all made with high-quality, thoughtfully-sourced ingredients. While the flavours lean classic, we’re always playing with creativity and seasonal ideas to keep the menu fresh and fun.
