Reviews for Boccalino Restaurant, Motel & Cabins in Kootenay Bay, BC

Amazing place to stay at, great room and if you either come and stay or even are just passing by, you definitely have to eat... here. The food is amazing, the owners sure know what they are doing. The homemade soup, I could have eaten a gallon of it. Weordered the pizza, which is handmade and cooked in a wood burning pizza oven, the only way to go. And dessert, we had the appleand lemon tarts, if you love lemon curd that is made the way it is supposed to be made, you will love these. Also the handmaderaspberry ice cream that Gisela had to wait 84 years to get the recipe, there is nothing better. We also had the breakfast,which was bacon and mushroom omelet with lightly truffled potatoes, and fresh bread with homemade jam. You definitely have toadd this place to your trip, it is worth it.

The service was excellent. Food delicious. Venue is very pretty. We had mussels and spinach dip appetizer which were very tasty.... Risotto and pizza for dinner. All very good. Would give 4.5 if I could. Pizza dough a tad thick and some dishes lacking onlyslightly. Overall, very good food for the remote location. Would recommend. Read more

Stunningly good food, the tenderloin was incredible. Do not miss this place if you're nearby.

We stayed in one of the 4 motel rooms mid July 2022. Kids and adults all really liked the room. The owners are very friendly and... they let us check in early. The place is within ten min walk to the Kootenay Bay Ferry dock and is very easy to find. Therestaurant looks very nice but we didn't make it back on time from Balfour to dine there. We ended up taking the 10:20pm ferryback to the motel. I would definitely stay there again if I am in that area. Read more

Hubby and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary at Boccalino's and it was perfect!! The owners are top notch delightful, the... food amazing and delicious (had raclette, vol-au-vent, tiger prawns, pork tenderloin and spatzli) and the outdoor patio is sorefreshing. Thank you Gisela for your warmth and creating a lovely ambiance. You and your team made our evening very special. Thank you so much. Read more

To find a real European restaurant in the Kootenay's was a treat. It is feet from the ferry terminal so had someone not... recommended it we would have chalked it up to fast food. The decor is bright and cheerful on the covered patio, the service wasexcellent. Our Caprese salad was fresh and tasty with a hint of pesto a nice treat. Our mains however fell short, my spaghettipesto was under cooked and hard to eat. My wife's Schnitzel was tough and chewy leaving is both disappointed after having highhopes with the wonderful salad.
