A beloved local pasta destination bids farewell to one of its branches. Robba da Matti, along with its Passaparola Burrata Bar, has officially closed its doors at the Kitsilano location, situated at 1898 W 1st Avenue. The decision to shutter the establishment was not taken lightly, as the restaurant cites “unforeseen family problems” as the primary reason for the closure. Emphasizing the paramount importance of family, the eatery expressed in a statement that family always takes precedence, even in business decisions.
Robba da Matti, renowned for its authentic Italian cuisine and extensive wine selection, continues to operate successfully in various locations across the city, including Yaletown, Gastown, and the West End. The Kitsilano location, which opened its doors in 2021, introduced the Passaparola Burrata Bar the following year. However, in 2023, the restaurant faced temporary closure due to a devastating fire. Despite these challenges, Robba da Matti remains committed to serving its patrons in other vibrant neighborhoods throughout the city.
