Kick Off Italian Day on The Drive with Pepino’s Special Sidewalk Pop-Up Menu, June 8th

The Goods from Pepino’s Spaghetti House

Vancouver, BC | Italian Day on The Drive is just around the corner, on Sunday, June 8th! Again this year, Pepino’s Spaghetti House is hosting our notorious sidewalk pop-up featuring a special, takeout-only menu from 11am to 3pm. Think, pizza by the slice; porchetta sandwiches; waffle fries; meatball sliders; blood orange Aperol Spritz freezies; and Chinotto floats…

Located at the north end of Commercial Drive, Pepino’s is the perfect place to kick things off: park nearby, grab a slider (or several) and a freezie to go, and fuel up for the walk ahead.

We’ll open the doors for dinner at 5pm at Pepino’s; and next door La Tana will be open for both lunch and dinner service as usual, from 11am to 10pm.
