Provisions Italiana North Vancouver Dining Experience

Provisions Italiana opens in North Vancouver’s Shipyards with Roman-style pizza, brunch and happy hour

If your ideal North Vancouver outing involves Roman-style pizza, handmade pasta, a good spritz and a stroll through the Shipyards, there is a new spot to put on your radar.

Provisions Italiana is now open inside the Seaside Hotel at 125 Victory Ship Way, bringing an Italian countryside-inspired restaurant to the heart of North Vancouver’s bustling Shipyards District. The new concept leans into simple ingredients, regional recipes and the kind of warm, inviting atmosphere that suits everything from date night to group dinners.

Open for breakfast, dinner, twice-daily happy hour and weekend brunch, Provisions Italiana adds another stylish option to the North Shore dining scene. The menu is built around seasonality, hospitality and shareable comfort, with vegetable-forward starters, fresh salads, handmade pastas, larger-format plates and Roman-style pizzas served al taglio.

Roman-style pizza, pasta and Italian comfort food

One of the biggest draws here is the restaurant’s take on Roman-style pizza. Baked in large rectangular trays and cut into square slices, the al taglio format is known for its crisp, caramelized crust and airy, chewy interior. At Provisions Italiana, options range from a classic Margherita and Pomodoro to toppings such as truffle and Fontina on the Funghi pizza, fennel salami, and pancetta with radicchio and confit tomato.

Elsewhere on the menu, expect a mix of vegetable dishes, salads and hearty mains that feel designed for sharing. Highlights include grilled radicchio with parmesan and aged balsamic, roasted cauliflower with harissa hummus, Marcona almonds and dates, burrata with tomato jam and basil, and crispy squid with zucchini, peppers and tartar sauce.

Pasta choices include spaghetti with saffron, olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, chili and breadcrumbs, orecchiette with beef cheek Bolognese and whipped ricotta, and linguine with mussels, prawns, clams, tomato, parsley, parmesan and lemon cream. For diners looking for a bigger-format dinner, there is also chicken parmesan, roasted seabass and a 20-ounce ribeye.

A new brunch and happy hour option in North Vancouver

Provisions Italiana is also set up to appeal to the brunch and after-work crowd. Weekend brunch runs Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with bennies, frittata, burrata salad and a signature brunch tower designed for the table.

Happy hour is offered twice daily from 3 to 6 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to close, Tuesday through Sunday. That includes feature pricing on oysters, marinated olives, crispy squid, Brussels sprouts, Caesar salad and more, alongside deals on house wine, craft beer, cocktails, spritzes and martinis. }

The cocktail list goes beyond the basics, with drinks such as the Garden Party made with clarified rum punch, liquore strega, lime, orange, coconut milk and beet shrub foam, and The Empress Apple, which combines Empress 1908 gin, St-Germain elderflower, apple and honey. There is also a mix of Old and New World wine, BC craft beer and cider, and zero-proof options.

The team behind Provisions Italiana

The kitchen is led by executive chef Morgan MacDonald, who was born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario, and has spent the past decade building a farm-to-table approach while working in kitchens including The Beach House and Med Grill in Victoria, and Ocean7 Restaurant at the Kingfisher Pacific Resort & Spa in Courtenay.

Provisions Italiana is part of the Executive Table Group family, which also includes Vancouver’s Hydra Estiatorio Mediterranean & Wine Bar, Alouette Bistro and Parker Rooftop, along with other B.C. properties in Richmond, Squamish, Tsawwassen, Whistler and beyond.

For North Vancouver diners, the opening is another sign that the Shipyards continues to evolve as a serious dining destination. And for anyone who likes the idea of polished but approachable Italian food in a waterfront setting, this one looks like a strong addition to the neighbourhood.
