Mary in Vancity

As the final summer sun rays grace Vancouver, Kitchen Table Restaurants is finishing off its third annual Summer Like An Italian campaign. Until September 21, 2024, this celebration of Italian culture invites locals and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the art of “il dolce far niente”—the sweet joy of doing nothing—and the cherished traditions of feasting and celebrating with loved ones.
