About Azzuro
01In front of the house, Gallego maintains an inviting dining room where conversation, great food and a hand-selected mix of music reigns supreme. Azzuro captures the swank of high end but brings it down to earth in the décor, the menu and the friendly service. It is Tellasol’s intention for guests to walk through the door and feel welcome. “It’s simple really -guests expect nice food in a comfortable place. We know what we like and how we want to be treated, so we re-created this for our guests when we built Azzuro”.
02In addition, Tellasol brings his passion for the grape to the thoughtfully created wine list, which highlights his preference for Italian and BC favourites. Situated between Yaletown and the heart of Vancouver’s entertainment district, Azzuro mirrors the effervescent community where it’s housed, trendy and new with a little historical charm. Affordably priced and sourcing the best quality food and wine from BC and Europe, Azzuro offers a little something for everyone. Azzuro… keeping things decidedly fresh and cool on the edge of Yaletown.
01The menu is rooted in familiar dishes and Italian favorites but has a sense of adventure and extravagance that comes from Tellasol’s background in fine dining. There are no shortcuts when it comes to the food. In a humble and straightforward manner, Telassol uses the best local, seasonal ingredients and creates everything in-house- from hand-rolled breadsticks to freshly ground sausage to pillowy pasta dough. Each distinct element of a recipe is created as if it is the only ingredient being used Despite this attention to detail, you will not see a genealogy of your dish listed on the menu.
02The food speaks for itself: quality ingredients, prepared well. Take for example the calamari, used in the Spaghetti Nero, which is braised for three hours before joining the ink squid pasta, the stuffed squid and the tomato soffritto. The extra touches are simply part of the package. With a knowing grin Perini says, “These little details are my advertising budget. If I feed my guests well, they come back for more”.
