Located on the corner of Ridgeway and Nelson, The Golden Boot has been proudly serving Northern Italian cuisine in Coquitlam since 1997. Since day one, owner and chef David Azzi has emphasized that he was not in competition with fast-food outlets or restaurants that placed importance on quantity over quality. The food served at the Golden Boot, whether it’s the pasta, sauces, bread or desserts, is home made. Always has been, and always will be.
“Went for the first time yesterday on a recommendation from friend, and it was delicious. Really friendly staff, and food was spot on. Pictured is Gnocchi, Spaghetti Freschi, Penne Bolognese, and Pappardelle Al Ragu Di Cinghiale modified on to Penne. Highly recommend visiting.”
“First time dining here a little far from home, our daughter recommended it to us knowing how much we love Italian food. We went for an early dinner and this place did not disappoint. The lasagna was very good and a generous portion to boot. They were very accommodating to my wife's dietary requests and she was very impressed. The restaurant was full at the time we left. Friendly family vibe for sure.”
“Do yourself a favour and get the gnocchi with the tomato cream sauce! They have the most tender gnocchi, which is clearly freshly made. I absolutely love coming here when I am craving genuinely good pasta. Pro-tip is to add mushrooms, wow! There can be a wait sometimes so I recommend a reservation during peak dinner times!”
“What a hidden gem! This is definitely one of those authentic, family owned Italian restaurants and the quality of the food really shows that. We started with the Caprese Salad, and then got the Gnocchi with the tomato cream sauce and the Margherita pizza for our main. The Caprese salad was just okay, I think it was because of the tomatoes - they were kind of bitter. The pasta was soooo good, the gnocchi was pillowy soft and the sauce was delicious. Simple and perfect. The pizza was also really nice, great flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. I got the Montepulciano red wine and it was perfect, fruity and not too dry. P.S. Not sure why there are negative reviews from people about the wait and the service. Our server was great and we had absolutely no issues. We had to wait five minutes for a table on a busy Saturday night at 7:30PM. Also the restaurant can’t control if they’re busy so these other reviews are totally unfair and don’t let that stop you from coming here!”
“Great spot for pasta with an authentic feel. The gnocchi with tomato sauce is one of the best I’ve had in the area. Service is decent, though nothing standout. Parking is limited.”
