Opus Hotel has a new restaurant with a familiar face.
Fans of the perpetually booked up La Quercia will be delighted to discover its sister restaurant La Pentola, which opened in Yaletown just a few days ago. On our visit, it was already packed and for good reason. After ogling the incredible-sounding menu for the longest time, we split the thrilling Fettuccine Genovese ($12) with pesto sauce, filled with green beans, crunchy pine nuts and soft potatoes, before moving on to the main dishes. There was enough room left to devour the Flat Iron Steak ($28) with red wine sauce, topped with arugula, which was perfectly executed.
As was the Semifreddo dessert ($8), the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Anya Georgijevic
