A new Italian grocer and cafe just opened in Vancouver & here’s where

Attention, pasta lovers. Joining the slew of new restaurants and cafes in Vancouver is Mercato di Luigi, a one-stop shop for groceries, lunch, and espresso. Let’s dive right in.

The newest member of the Kitchen Table Restaurants family will operate as a grocer-cafe in the spot formerly occupied by Oh Carolina, bringing a new life to the cozy, neighbourhood-focused space.

The Mercato carries a large selection of authentic imported Italian products, fresh and dried pasta, and housemade sauces.

As well, visitors can stop in for pastries and espresso, and grab a made-to-order sandwich or pasta for lunch between noon and 2 pm every day.
