Francesco Murdocco knew from the time he was a young man that he wanted a coffee shop, a meeting place to call his own. Born in Calabria, Italy and raised in the Italian district in Montreal, in 1971 Francesco came to the beautiful city of Vancouver. In 1976, he established Caffee Calabria in the heart of Little Italy on Commercial Drive. There never has been a man more passionate about the bean than Francesco, the coffee genius of Vancouver.
Best place on the Drive for coffee and lunch. The sandwiches are amazing and the staff are the best. I’ve come for years with the family and am now introducing the grandchildren. They love the ice cream, sweets and decor. Do yourself a favour and visit during Christmas to see the place fully decorated.Read more
La Grotta Del Formaggio, a small Italian Deli filled with incredible products that could make anyone feel like they were standing in a store.It is here where Domenico also learned to appreciate food, seeing how the deli turned into a second home for him.To think that this all started by concentrating and focusing on high end hotels and restaurants, they now expanded their distribution network and supply large and independent retailers as well.
I love stopping by this place for a sandwich, the part I enjoy most is the fact that they put olive oil and vinegar on. The meat ball sandwiches are one of the best you'll ever taste. Read more

Hate the wait but love the food. If you come at 10pm on a Saturday still a 10 minutes wait. I have been here a couple of times before and always excellent. The meatballs in tomato sauce just amazing. We had the zucchini and rabbit pasta dishes and both so good. Cooked just al dente, good amount of flavour and just enough coating of sauce. Very good selection of by glass or bottle wines.Read more
