VANCOUVER — Folietta, an Italian ristorante and bar from Wentworth Hospitality Group, is set to open in early 2025 in East Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodlands neighbourhood.
Known for spots such as Tableau and Homer St. Cafe, Wentworth is pivoting from French to modern-Italian cuisine for this new venture. Led by executive chef Bobby Milheron and chef de cuisine Imtiaaz Patel, the menu will highlight regional Italian dishes, including house-made pasta, Bistecca Fiorentina, and veal chop Parmigiana, alongside a dedicated kids’ menu.
The 130-seat space, designed by Ste Marie, will feature an open kitchen, four dining areas, and a semi-enclosed patio. Folietta will also offer a robust bar program with Italian-inspired cocktails, negronis on tap, Amaro Shave Ice, and a curated selection of Italian wines and spirits led by general manager Miguel Arrais.
Set in The Grant, a new mixed-use development, Folietta aims to be a neighbourhood favourite for everything from afternoon aperitivos to weekend brunch.
