What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Di Muzio Ristorante offers a highly authentic Italian dining experience, praised for its homemade pasta, flavorful sauces, and generous pizza portions. While many rave about the delicious food and cozy atmosphere, diners should be prepared for a leisurely pace, as service can be slow, especially during peak hours. Some patrons have noted issues with portion sizes for certain dishes and occasional service oversights, but the overall consensus points to a worthwhile meal for those who appreciate genuine Italian cuisine.
"This place is amazing and should have a higher rating. The food is incredible. Also feels authentic, comforting Italian auntie vibes. Awesome ladies running the show. Loved it so much and would come back next time I’m visiting Kamloops."

"Food was amazing, however docking points for service.
I will say: It is meant to be a slower experience. More sitting and socializing between courses. If you are just doing dinner and don't have to be anywhere, it is a lovely time. If you are pressed for time, you are not going to make your event.
Was seated at 5pm, left at 8:45pm. Make sure to order an appetizer or two, as the main course will take a while. Enjoyed my time and food, but I think letting customers know before seating that it's meant to be the European-style of dinner and not the fast-paced North American-style.
Hope to try again in the future when I visit town again."

"A truly authentic Italian restaurant experience, complete with the often-expected long waiting time! I wasn't expecting to find such a place in Kamloops. The authenticity of the experience might not be appreciated by some North American customers, who are more accustomed to dishes like fettuccine alfredo and pineapple pizza. Additionally, the price point is high, especially when compared to similar restaurants in downtown Vancouver, where rent is undoubtedly higher than in Kamloops. If the owner can find a way to make the prices more affordable, the restaurant would be perfect."
