Il Caminetto

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my mom’s birthday. While I didn’t have a reservation, I called in and ended up on the waitlist. About two hours later, a bar seat opened up. We were excited to try their menu for their 44th anniversary. First off, the host team was amazing. They were warm, welcoming, and helpful. Their professionalism set a positive tone for the evening. We got the $44 four-course menu and added a few supplements: the Polpettine Crisp Wagyu Meatballs (+7) was excellent and definitely worth trying, while the Lobster + Saffron Spaghetti (+18) was underwhelming. The dish lacked much flavour, and the lobster meat didn’t quite stand out. The Grilled Octopus + Pork Jowl (+12) was enjoyable, though the octopus portion was quite small. The pork jowl had an interesting flavour, almost like a refined version of spam. For dessert, the Torta di Ricotta was on the sweeter side for my taste, but the Tiramisu was delicious. Overall, the food met our expectations and showcased great quality and creativity. However, the service really fell short. After being seated, we waited over 10 minutes without even being acknowledged, despite at least 4-5 people behind the bar. One passed by a couple of times and we made eye contact and I tried to call them over but was ignored. They began polishing glasses while we were clearly ready to order. I completely understand it being a busy night and we were at the bar, but as someone who also works in hospitality, I believe a simple acknowledgment goes a long way. That said, one of the bartenders did stand out with a smile, which we appreciated. He kept the service from falling apart. Still, the overall service felt lacklustre, which is a shame given how good the food is. Table service seemed more attentive, so perhaps the bar team could use some additional training to match that standard. Hopefully with a bit more attentiveness behind the bar, the experience could truly live up to the food.

Dinner at II Caminetto was the highlight of the day since the mountains were closed this season. We had the prix fixe menu and my husband added wine pairing too. Food was great, the wines were so-so, but the dessert made up for it. Highly recommend the tiramisu, gelato and beef tartare.

Got the $44 or so fall meal and we sat at the bar as we wanted to go day-of and just try the menu out. Their service at the bar was good and their risotto was the best I’ve ever had. However, I had the ling cod. Before ordering, I asked if there was an alternative to the olive relish or just to simply not have it, either would’ve been preferred. The bar tender looked at me, confirmed it, and put the order in. It came out with the olive relish completely on it, absolutely no regard for the request. The bartender apologized and gave me a side plate if I wanted to take the relish off or to remake the meal (which I didn’t want to waste) For a 100$+ meal, I’d expect better on the first try. Service and pace was a lot faster than Wild Blue.

Impeccable service from the second you are seated to the moment you leave. The food is incredible, cooked and seasoned to perfection. The prix fixe menu is beyond worth it and portioned perfectly!

Fantastic experience. Food was delicious portions great. Server Melanie and partner were great! Definitely on our list for a return visit!

Visited Il Caminetto in June. This spot is located in the heart of Whistler Village. Started out with a Mango Limeade ($9) and Blood Orange Spritz ($13) both of which were quite refreshing. Had the Gem Lettuce Caesar ($22.5) - kind of wish it had a more robust dressing. Also wasn't a huge fan of having to cut up my lettuce. The Quebec Veal Milanese ($47.5) was a filling dish with thinly sliced and crispy veal. The Halibut ($56.5) was also filling with 2 pieces of meaty halibut. Overall good flavours and nice to visit an Italian restaurant that has more than just pasta on the menu.

Sabrina was such a lovely waitress, helpful, attentive and great recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything we got we loved! Love the atmosphere too. Highly recommend trying this out on your next whistler trip.

Sometimes it's not about the food, it's about the experience. I've explored Western Canada for two weeks and decided to splurge at Il Caminetto in Whistler. To start, the food is fine. My experience started with making a reservation and the only times were 5:00pm and 9:00pm. I chose 5:00. I didn't want to be late and be turned away, but I inadvertently arrived 15 minutes early. Apparently they open at 5:00, so I was asked to sit outside and wait. Just before 5:00, they came out and took a few walk ins, ignoring me sitting there. When I was seated inside, all the tables were empty in my section. The tables have a weird leg configuration splaying out from the center so they were right where you put your legs. Strange. I had to contort my legs to fit somehow. My server, Lindsey, was the highlight of the dinner. The best service I've had in as long as I can remember. He gave vibes of Delbert Grady, the butler in the Shining who convinced Jack to kill his family. Lindsey just convinced me to get dessert. Lindsey is better than this restaurant. Anyway, I left at just before 7:00 and there were still many tables empty. I just don't understand making me reserve the first seating. As I said, the food was fine, it was just way overpriced. I guess it's just Whistler.

We went here a few years back when it first opened and we had a mixed experience with food and service - glad we decided to try again as it was exceptional! We were sat in a lovely cozy booth near a fire place which worked well for me as I currently have a broken leg and it was easy to navigate! Service was exceptional throughout as was the food! We began with woke cocktails and some smaller plates: Delicious warm olives, one of the best burrata dishes I have ever had with the freshest local tomatoes. A delicious dish and out of the world squid!! We then shared an amazing lobster, saffron linguine which was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had! Perfect start to our Whistler anniversary trip!!

I was in Whistler for conference and so I made reservations at some of the restaurants recently recognized as among the best in Whistler according to Vancouver magazine. It included Il Caminetto. We had dinner reservations for 7pm. We arrived early but they gladly seated us early. It was midweek, so they had space. It's a sleek, modern space. I wouldn't expect less from a Top Table Group restaurant. I had looked up the prix fixe menu on their website before arriving, and I noticed was different than what was presented when we arrived. The online menu was $44 and had four courses, but the one presented to us was $49 for 3 courses. Still a fantastic deal. I noted that the website did update 2 days later to match. I tried the following: - Octopus - Excellent. It was the soffritto and white bean puree that are the real stars of this dish. - Beet and Burrata Insalata - Very good. I'm not much of a beet person, but the vinaigrette made the beets surprisingly good. - Duck Breast - Very good. Duck was cooked just to the right doneness. - Tagliatelle Bolognese - Very good. Pasta was the perfect texture. Sauce was delicious. - Lemon Bomba - Good. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was very happy with it. - Tiramisu - Very good. I could taste a little more liqueur was used than in most recipes Service was solid. No issues. Overall, a very good experience. Very good quality food, string service at incredible prix fixe value. I would definitely return.

Incredibly stylish while cozy at the same time. An entire page dedicated to negronis in the cocktail book. Expansive wine list with a very helpful somm (shout out to Quintin!) Lots of variety in the menu; was hard to choose as everything looked amazing. The salmon crudo was one of the best we've ever had, and the lobster fettucine is to-die-for. Veal cheeks and eggplant parm were both prepared to perfection, as were the bomba and bodino desserts. Last but not least, our server Joe was nothing short of fantastic. Everything far exceeded our expectations!

Gorgeous restaurant. Food was disappointing honestly. Stingy on the bread. They give you one piece each. Lobster saffron linguine was recommended and what they are "known for". I was hoping for way more flavor. It fell flat. Bland. Wagyu meatballs, good, not amazing. Halibut also fell flat. Also bland. This was our anniversary dinner and the flavor of our meals was disappointing. Not worth the price at all. Service was excellent. Tiramisu was also excellent. Wine was great.

One of those meals you think about for a while after you leave. The lobster linguine is to die for!! Every dish was such a treat to enjoy and a lovely combination of flavors. Servers were attentive and gave great recommendations and insights. Definitely book a reservation beforehand. Small warning that even with a reservation, we did wait more than 10 minutes to be seated but we did go during a busy dinner rush. Highly recommend and hope to visit again.

I didn't have a high expectation for this place just because it's located in a busy resort town but the food quality was top notch here. We had a frutti di mare, a lobster linguine, and a mushroom risotto to share and they were all amazing. Pastas and risotto were cooked to perfection and the seafoods were fresh. Service was also great and the restaurant had a luxurious ambiance. I'd highly recommend making a reservation during peak season. We went for a dinner on a Wednesday and the restaurant was packed.

Came here for thanksgiving (US) dinner with some friends on a vacation together and the food was ABSOLUTELY delicious! We each ordered off of the prix fix menu so we could order an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Everything was outstanding. The service was also outstanding. The ambiance was intimate and felt cozy. Me and my man were actually admiring the decor and the design of the inside of the restaurant. We just thought is was really nice and modern. I ordered the gnocchi, mushroom risotto, and tiramisu for dessert. I love risotto, and not every restaurant knows how to properly cook risotto. Il Caminetto prepared it perfectly. There was so much yummy flavor in the food. We had a really enjoyable dinner experience here. I wish the tiramisu was not so large because I wanted to eat all of it/take it home, but I was so full! If you are looking for a comforting meal in Whistler, I would definitely book a reservation here. It seems to be quite popular, and I can see why! The food, the staff, and the ambiance are all A+++

Great dining experience with a custom menu for my large party. Our server, Chris, was attentive and great at recommending options to suit everyone's taste. 10/10

The ultimate fancy Italian dinning has a low lighting intimate dining experience. With white table clothes and a high end modern decor one can tell the experience will be top notch. In the middle of all the village it's best to make reservations because it gets very busy and books up fast. Everything on we order was very delicious I truly enjoyed the Bolognese and Lobster Saffron Linguine. The menu has a great variety of options and everything sounds great. Also have a great wine list. Inside outside seating, gets cold outside so they have blankets and share space heaters. Great accommodating dining experience for all age and palette.

I wasn't sure what to expect of the restaurants in Whistler Village since usually these "resort" area establishments are mediocre. I was so happy to have wasted concern here. From the initial warm greeting at the entrance (although the 17 was miffed when hostess immediately asked if she wanted a kids menu lol) to dessert, service was timely. It was a full house with some large parties so I expected to wait a while between our Prix Fixe courses. Teen ended up getting just bowl of Minestrone, and the server was considerate to ask if she wanted it to be served when our mains came out. The food was excellent and the portions are on the large side for a 4 course Prix Fixe dinner. This was an excellent way to end our daytrip ziplining in Whistler.

It's very hard to get reservations and there were few opportunities for walk in this season (last season if we came early, they sometimes would let us in). I think they open at 4:30 or 4:45 on one side of the restaurant, and even with that earlier seating, they're still fully booked! I was a little disappointed this year but this place is still one of my more favorite spots in Whistler. Service felt a little more rushed and cold this time, but it was fine. Food-wise: Kids had steak and butter pasta. Both were good - somehow the butter pasta was the bigger hit. Kids minestrone soup portion is huge but kids didn't love it because the vegetables are very hard in it - you can tell it's fresh veggies because they don't cook it down until the veggies are soft. I wouldn't get it for kids again unless i'm with kids who like hard crunchy vegetables. Also, side note, the minestrone soup tastes like it is loaded with cheese. I wish it didn't have so much cheese. Chicken Saltimbocca: WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. THE CHICKEN WAS PERFECTLY COOKED. THE FLAVORS. Wow so good. Even the brussel sprouts with it were so good. This sounds like a boring dish but it was lick the plate so good. Lobster saffron pasta: lobster was PERFECTLY cooked. Pasta tasted a little fishy Rigatoni with pomodoro sauce: perfect, no real tartness, smooth Bolognese: I didn't care for it. Too meaty, very one note meat. Lasagna: I didn't like the clove flavor in the meat and it had huge chunks of spinach to note: I paid to add on black truffles and they were TERRIBLE. It tasted old and stale. There was no truffle essence. I don't know if this was just a bad batch of truffles but I would not order truffles here again unless they could confirm that they got fresh truffles. I have visited a restaurant that specializes in truffles and I always wondered what they meant about they get the best and freshest truffles, but now I know that truffles can be bad. It's very nice inside but not everyone is dressed up and they don't seem to mind. We had kids with us and we weren't the only one. But we did go at 4:45. I'd guess at later seatings maybe there are fewer kids. Oh yeah the maple bacon old fashioned is tasty! I would definitely visit again but if there's no reservations I don't think I'll try as hard as before.

Had dinner here on Thursday night. This restaurant was offering a $44 CAD four course option - an amazing value. The portions were huge! The restaurant was packed so we sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. Dinner started with a huge basket of bread with selections to choose from. Our next course was opted for the olives and the hummus. Both delicious. The next course we had the minestrone and the mushroom risotto. These both had very good flavor but were so rich. I should have stopped there! I had the polenta and couldn't even finish half of it. Luckily our room had a microwave so my husband was able to eat it the next day. He had the halibut which I tried and was very fresh. For the dessert I made some room for the Hazelnut Bomba. It was AMAZING! I tired to finish it all but sadly had to leave a couple of bites. Great restaurant in the heart of Whistler village with very nice decor.

Came here with friends for thanksgiving dinner and it far exceeded our expectations. The drinks were immaculate and the service was great as well. Our server really helped us out with picking the right cocktail and he explained the menus perfectly so we could decide whether to do the prix fixe menu or not. We decided to go with the 4 course menu vs a la carte because it was the best bang for your buck! If you like wine, they had a wine pairing for an additional 43 dollars for the 4 course menu. The appetizers were pretty good but it was the main dishes that were the star of the show. The veal gnocchi was probably my absolute favorite. My girlfriend is obsessed with gnocchi and she kept saying it was the best she has ever had. I would have to agree with her on that. The bolognese was yummy too but the gnocchi was the winner for us. And as for the dessert... we were so full but the dessert looked amazing. The tiramisu was the showstopper at the end for sure. We had a very pleasant experience dining here and we will definitely be coming back here for dinner on our next Whistler visit.

Decided to return here after a disappointing first visit last year. Last year the dishes we ordered were a bit bland and overwhelming (cauliflower steak and a pasta dish) but we decided to give it another shot during $43 prix fixe week and am so glad we did. Service started off a bit rude but ended with a different person who was very friendly. The initial person's attitude seemed to change when she realized we just wanted water vs wine...speaking of, they offer both still and sparkling water to start (wish they would have clarified sparkling water was an extra $9.50 since not all restaurants charge for this). Anyways, the menu had lots to choose from which is great. For 1st course, we got hummus (super creamy but could have used more items to scoop it up with), tomato crostoni (delicious flavors, yummy bread but a little heavy w the green spread). 2nd course: mushroom risotto (soo good with lots of chunks of mushroom throughout!), burrata and beet salad (loved this too. Light, great flavors and good contrast to the heavier items). 3rd course: salmon + octopus (was supposed to be branzino) was delicious and cooked well. I suspect branzino would have been lighter than the salmon and therefore better w the sauce but everything was still good. Chicken and pork jowl w Brussel sprouts was delicious!! Super flavorful and complimented each other in texture and flavors. 4th course: tiramisu (perfect and amazing!!! Cake was soaked in rum with yummy layers of marscapone and bits of crunchy chocolate on the top. So yum) and petit fours (it was nice to try different items but wasn't as impressed with these). All in all was very happy we gave this place another shot and looking forward to returning again in the future!

I brought two of my friends here based on the reviews! It didn't disappoint and my friends and I left very happy with the experience. Even though Whistler area was off season, the restaurant was packed. Even though we didn't have reservations, we were sat pretty quickly. Our server, Steven, was really awesome. He answered all our questions and was very friendly. We chose 4 course meal and it was definitely a bang for your buck. It was a lot of food for $43 CAD. We were able to choose one dish each Cicchetti, Antipasti, Secondi and Dolci. Loved the interior of the restaurant. It was romantic, clean and classy. If I ever come up to Whistler again, this will be a spot I will happily go back to.

Decided to try this Italian restaurant and it was fabulous. Had the breaded meatballs as an appetizer, and then split some pasta and finally ended with the halibut. Everything was very tasty and the waitress was outstanding. I think her name was Sabrina.

The food and th service at this restaurant were remarkable. The servers go through extra steps to make sure you feel taken care of. The ambiance inside and outside was wonderful. The food was delicious. I ordered the seafood pasta which was kind of like an Italian paella and I recommend it for seafood lovers.

Polpettine 5 wagyu beef meatballs, super crispy, medium rare inside, flavorful, salsa puree, slightly sour Lobster Saffron Linguine 5 chewy juicy lobster chunks, soft noodles, white wine, cream, lemon heirloom carrots, chilies, breadcrumbs, super creamy, flavorful Grilled Branzino & Octopus 4 medium juicy, crispy skin, chewy octopus, root veggie stew, olives, beans, arugula, medium flavorful

What a gem to find in Whistler. The food was amazing, and the service was on point. We bypassed the line that was out the door by electing to sit at the bar where the bartender had the best recommendations.

A near perfect experience that took the sting off the price. We walked up without a reservation and got on the waiting list for patio seating. They texted 45 minutes later when a table opened up and we had the most pleasant and lovely waiter. My husband's halibut special was so good he had a difficult time putting his fork down between bites. The real winner was my rigatoni pomodoro. Such a simple dish and executed to perfection. Exactly what I was looking for. A large bowl of noodles with a textbook pomodoro perfectly coating them. The best pomodoro I've ever had in a restaurant. Pro tip: If you sit on the patio and are cold they have blankets to offer you.

Ok, this is fine dining......It was awesome, all the way around. The service was off the chart, the food was delicious, and fresh....You kinda need to dress up for this place, they have a coat check, but do not come in shorts and flip flops.....This place oozes class......It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for.....The wine menu is 36 pages....Just saying.... I will definitely be coming back here again, and bringing my friends

We love TopTable Group, and as always, they hit it out of the park. It was my first time at this particular restaurant and I am already looking forward to coming back again - the food and service were exceptional, and the ambiance was perfect. Would not change a thing!

Food was adequate. Service was bad. Wine was a con. The GM and "sommelier" were condescending, incorrect, and unnecessarily aggressive. The "somm" claimed that "there is no difference between sauvignon blanc and chardonnay except the oak, the grapes are the same," (a fact I didn't even bother to argue with because it was already clear that he was on the defense as soon as he came to our table, and I still don't know why). He then proceeded to say that he "doesn't drink any of the wine on the menu himself" and then served us a $125 bottle of cheap italian white with a screw top that tasted so cheap and sour that I googled it while sitting at the table to find that it retailed at $20. When I pointed this out to the GM, that as customers we chose to buy a $100+ bottle because we expected some reasonable minimum level of quality, he said that he "didn't understand why we were bothered." 600% markup is offensive, as is serving cheap lighter-fluid tasting wine with a $50 lobster pasta. I was bothered because their racket of selling bottom shelf cheap wine as high end pairings to lobster pasta is bordering on a con, and the level of unreasonable aggression from the somm, ranging from his condescending and incorrect comments about the basics of wine to bringing the wrong bottle (one that cost $120 on their menu and retailed at $22, I also checked that one to see if that was somehow part of the con), then serving the screwtop of the cheap wine with his hand on top of the bottle so we couldn't see it was a screw top until he'd already opened and poured it. It was like being in the presence of a confidence trickster from the 50s. There are a number of better restaurants in whistler that serve real food and real wine with reasonable and non-con markups and without so-called "sommeliers" who are only in it to sell wine they don't even drink themselves at a 600% markup. Diners who care about not being fleeced should go literally anywhere else.

From start to finish- everything was FANTASTIC! Our waiter was Chris. He recommended appetizers and meals. We went with one of his recs for appetizer and one of his meal recs. (Mushroom risotto and Lobster Linguini) both were excellent!!!! We chose Burrata and Eggplant Parmigiana. Both were EXCELLENT!!!! The bread was GREAT the atmosphere was great!!!! We enjoyed the whole experience! We will Definitely go back!!!! Thank you Chris!

The service at the table was wonderful. They take their opening time very seriously so don't show up for 5pm reservation at 4:58 though we were told to go outside and wait Glad they redeemed themselves with the food too- yellowtail was some of the best I've had, steak and lasagne were also amazing and perfectly cooked!

This place is one of the more popular restaurants in Whistler so I recommend along a reservation in advance if you have a larger group. Italian food is not my favorite, but when I was walking around the village they had a giant photo of the saffron lobster linguini which lured it mine. It did not disappoint! My only complaint about this place was that the service was incredibly slow. It may have just been an off right, but we were there for over three hours.

This restaurant is a must when visiting Whistler, whether you pop in for a cocktail or for dinner. I've been here multiple times and have done the bar area as well as the formal dining room. They book up really quick so I highly recommend making reservations. The last few times we've sat at the bar and Charlotte was amazing! She was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, specials, wines. Kai was also helping us and he was great. We ordered the hummus which came with fresh root veggies and the prosciutto for appetizers. For dinner, we had the octopus and a bone in ribeye which were both cooked to perfection. The only bummer was a couple sitting next to us, who was completely rude to the staff and kept cutting them off and dismissing them last night. We will definitely be back.

First time in the village for business and I bribed a colleague to go to II Caminetto with me. He got the steak and I got the pappardelle bolognese. Nice cozy dining room, but a little Loud. overall pleasant experience and good food.

My favorite Italian restaurant at Whistler. My waitress Sonia was very helpful with the menu and wine pairing. The restaurant looks amazing. Cozy, yet elegant. My favorite go to dish is the ragu pappardelle pasta, however the lobster pasta and truffle risotto are also amazing. You HAVE to try the truffle pizza!

Service was exceptional! Food was good. Ambience was classy and cozy. It was a tough to get a table, be sure to book way in advance for busy weekends.

Fantastic service and ambiance. The wait staff is top notch, patient, explains everything very well, changed your silverware, is attentive etc. Most of the food is very flavourful. - steak - I sampled my kids children's steak. It's not a big portion but is among the best done steaks I've had. Very crispy on one side, and very tender and juicy. - Mushroom Risotto - wow very flavourful, can definitely taste the truffle and mushroom flavour. - Wagyu beef Tagliatelle Bolognese - wow the flavour here is amazing. So rich and smooth. I could eat this every meal! - Veal Milanese - this was huge, and fried well, but for being one of the more expensive dishes on the menu, the flavour was flat. This was my order and as luck would have it was a bit disappointing. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars. Overall would definitely recommend the place.

Had dinner here with family over the holidays and it was nice. The service was friendly, the ambiance cozy (although very busy), and the menu had an array of delicious options. I got the pizza, which was large enough to share with my mom. Only critique is I do think it's a bit overpriced.

Food, service, ambiance are all five stars. We had a great experience as a family. Well recommend!

Wonderful place to visit for an upscale dining experience. Ultimately decided to eat here because of the gluten free options! Our server was amazing. The drinks delicious and unique. My dish of GF gnocchi was super rich but what a treat to be able to have gnocchi at a restaurant. Over all great experience.

Does this restaurant need one more review? We are seasoned diners, and this is a great restaurant. The food - the most difficult part - is excellent, truly fantastic! The service from Mikey was perfect, he went above and beyond. The atmosphere is above what we have experienced in Whistler. I only saved one restaurant for when I come back, and this is it. We have tried the rest, and this restaurant is on a different level.

Monday night lots of other restaurants closed on Monday. This place but busy but not full. Since I m by myself just sit at bar. All staffs are nice and attentive esoecualky bartender she is awesome. Fix menu $49 plus wine pairing 40ish. Food very food. Better than I expected. Portion was nice. Last time here during 2021 covid sat outside too much food. This time everything good. Price good also. Will try again next time when there is special.

There were some standout dishes for me at Il Caminetto including my kid's meal which never happens! We started off with the burrata which gets flown in from Italy every week. Having the first bite took me straight back to my first time in Rome. It was rich and creamy yet light, drizzled with EVOO and garnished with beautiful farm to table beets. The sour dough was perfection with it. My youngest had beef tenderloin with carrots and home made pasta all for $23 and everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned and any adult would have been happy with his meal! My husband had braised veal and carbonara cauliflower--have never had either but am now a huge fan of both. I would have given this restaurant five stars especially since the service was impeccable but the wagyu was disappointing. At $32/oz I would have expected better. Although it normally is a fatty and rich cut it was almost too fatty and salty. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant and it is kid friendly even for a fancier place!

There's a reason this place is packed to the gills, even on weeknights. You need a reservation or don't expect to eat after 530pm or before 845pm! I was very excited to try the pre fixe menu with the lobster pasta dish. Everything was beautifully presented, and we left completely satiated. Our server was nice, but not overly so. She was very patient and answered all of our questions about menu items. The restaurant is super loud, so it was hard to hear her, and she had to come around to each of us to answer our questions. The meal took a long time, but it was just as well since we were completely stuffed after the pre fixe meal. My companions had the gelato while I had the chocolate hazelnut dessert. Everything was delectable!

Had a wedding dinner for 15 in the private room. Just incredible! I can't think of a single thing that wasn't perfect. They helped us set a limited menu, that met everyone's needs. Every course was delivered by a team of servers, so we were all served simultaneously with no delays. Wine pairings were fabulous! And lucky me got to have leftover Mushroom Risotto the following day. We can't wait to go back!

Fantastic food, we've been here 3x now in the last 4yrs. Great service, excellent drinks, great ambiance and the food is amazing. I'm celiac so they had a lot of gluten free options including homemade gluten free pasta which was tasty.

I came here on a recent trip to Whistler and this is definitely a high class restaurant with a relaxing environment and delicious food. We started with a choice of focaccia or sourdough bread and this was so tasty, some of us got seconds! Next, we ordered a huge amount of appetizers including: Scallop Crudo - favourite of the night, with tender and succulent raw scallops with a light salsa accompaniment. Crispy Meatballs - these were fine, nothing special despite being wagyu Grilled Humdbolt Squid - very flavourful and not stringy or chewy but the sauce was quite spicy! Italian Salumi Misti - a large variety and assortment of both the meats and different pickles that came with it. The rabbit rillette was...interesting...but not something that anyone at the table loved. The entrees we went with were: Tagliatelle Bolognese - the noodles were cooked a perfect al dente and the sauce was thick making this a little bit heavy. A large portion that came to the table when we were already getting full from the appies. Lobster Linguine - we all loved this pasta as the creamy white sauce perfectly coated the linguine and there was a pretty good portion of lobster in this dish. The lobster was well cooked too. 12oz Ribeye - For our protein choice, we went with a nice piece of steak and this was a nice piece of steak. Cooked a bit closer to medium than medium rare, but still tender without being chewy. The simple seasoning let the natural flavours shine and the accompaniments of potatoes and broccoli were a nice palate cleanser. Overall, good food but at high prices. A nice place to visit for a special occasion!

Make sure to make a reservation, it can get busy during peak hours. The food is amazing I had the pasta bolognese and perfection. The waitress was very nice and made sure I was taken care of every minute of the dinner.

Got here about 8:45 pm and didn't have a reservation. Half the restaurant was empty but was still asked to sit at the bar. The lady at the entrance was very rude and disrespectful. Her explanation was that they are all reserved and won't be open to the public until 9:45 pm - restaurant closes at 10 pm. That explanation didn't make sense. Especially given that when we left most of the tables were still left unoccupied. The food was good and the service at the bar was done well. Was still extremely irritated by the rude greeter. Will avoid the place in the future...especially if my money isn't good enough here as other people.

This restaurant is an ABSOLUTE MUST TRY--Best meal we had in Whistler BY FAR. It was pretty easy to get a reservation for a week night, the same week of our stay. From start to finish, our experience was incredible. Everything we ate was fresh, flavorful, and more than delicious. We started with the Minestrone soup, Wagu Meatballs, and Beef Carpaccio--Soup was my favorite and the Carpaccio was my boyfriend's favorite. We then had the Bolognese pasta, the Rigatoni pasta, and the Eggplant Parmesan, and it also did NOT disappoint--Eggplant was cooked perfectly. Our server, Ren, was extremely knowledgable about the wine list, and was even kind enough to give us some additional ski resort recommendations. If you dine here--please ask for him! 10/10 recommend Ren and the Resturant--neither will disappoint!

Some of the best Italian food I've had. We had 5 dishes each and every one was fantastic. The inside of this place is beautiful and they make a great whiskey sour. The waiter was great but the only thing stopping a 5 star review was the hostess. Her attitude two nights in a row was so off putting we almost left. She needs to find another place to work where she doesn't engage customers.

Service is awesome and the food is better! We came at the end of happy hour and after a pitcher of yummy red sangria, we ate the grilled squid (my favorite), shrimp, house made ricotta, beet salad and meatballs, we ordered the fennel sausage pizza, potatoes tartufati, and linguine fruitti di mare. Can I say between the ambiance in Whistler Village and beautiful weather, it was the perfect way to end an amazing day!! DELICIOUS!!

We had our anniversary dinner here and we didn't regret it. Our server and food was great! We also tried their $43 fall prix fixe and the portions is great.

The food and service here were absolutely fantastic. We did the pre fixe 4 course menu which was an amazing deal. Our server Sabrina was one of the best. I have some food allergies and she was super helpful accommodating for those. Would highly recommend!

Great service from Melanie! Loved how she explained the options with the menu especially for my GF spouse. We went there because the Find Me GF said it had GF options for pasta. Pasta seems to be one of the harder items to find good GF options. Melanie gave us options and her recommendations for our best meal of the trip. We wanted to order all three courses, but knew if we each did that it would be too much food. Melanie took care of our drinks, and then she brought us some fantastic bread. She brought us some Sourdough and some Focaccia along with EVOO and Balsamic Vinegar. The bread was good, but the Focaccia was amazing!! Could have ate a whole pan of that!! I started with the Minestrone soup, absolutely delicious! Nice crunchy vegetables and chewy pasta all along with great salty depth from cheese in the soup. Quite a large bowl/turine. We each ordered a pasta, since that is why we wanted to come here for. She ordered the GF gnocchi in a pomodoro sauce, which she did not have any leftovers!! I ordered the Wagyu Tagliatelle. The noodles were fantastic, the sauce soooo tasty. If we hadn't ordered the ribeye to share, I would have eaten all of the Tagliatelle no problem. Especially with the Focaccia to soak up all that sauce. We shared a tender medium rare ribeye that was very good. We were quite impressed at the timing of everything, the way Melanie always checked in on us, and anticipated our needs. The staff is next level here, we were very satisfied with this restaurant. Even the manager came by to say Hi and ask how dinner was going. Nice touch. Thank you to the staff at IL Caminetto for a wonderful experience for dinner, we will be back.
