Artigiano has opened its new Artigiano Grand Cafe at Park Royal, introducing what the company describes as a blend of European café tradition and restaurant-style dining.
The company says the new location draws inspiration from the grand cafés of France and Italy, aiming to offer “refined comfort and conviviality” from morning to night. According to the release, the space features vintage-style murals, brass accents, greenery, an elegant bar and warm lighting meant to evoke “laid-back sophistication.”
The menu is led by executive chef Jasmin Porcic and reflects the brand’s philosophy that “Beautiful Ingredients Make Beautiful Things.” The company says European classics are reinterpreted with a West Coast influence, including wood-fired pizzas with organic tomato and fior di latte; shareable dishes such as crispy Parmesan risotto and Puglian burrata with heirloom tomatoes; and handcrafted pastas ranging from wild mushroom and goat cheese lumache to cacio e pepe. Larger plates include braised organic beef short ribs in tawny port reduction and pan-fried branzino with saffron caper sauce. All dishes are prepared “without artificial additives or GMOs,” the release states.
At the bar, the Grand Cafe offers signature cocktails including the Caffe Negroni, Liberty Pink Lychee and Cocoliche Margarita. The release says guests will also find botanical spritzes, a zero-proof menu, a wine program showcasing Italian and B.C. vineyards, select beers, organic lagers and coffee-infused drinks.
The company says its hospitality specialists aim to create an experience that feels “personal, elegant, and effortlessly warm,” whether for brunch, a celebratory toast or a casual meal.
Artigiano Grand Cafe is located at 757 Main St. in Park Royal South. Reservations, private events and walk-ins are welcome.
According to the company, Artigiano has been a key part of Vancouver’s coffee culture for more than 30 years, known internationally for its latte art and European-inspired ambience. It says it prioritizes locally sourced, organic and non-GMO ingredients, avoids industrial seed oils and artificial additives, and maintains relationships with coffee bean farmers and local suppliers. The company says it has re-imagined its café experience over the past five years and now operates 20 cafés, with five more planned through 2026.
