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. We ordered the pizza, which is handmade and cooked in a wood burning pizza oven, the only way to go. And dessert, we had the apple and lemon tarts, if you love lemon curd that is made the way it is supposed to be made, you will love these. Also the handmade raspberry 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 to add this place to your trip, it is worth it.

The stay and dine special was a great getaway to celebrate our anniversary! Gisela and Yves were very welcoming and the dinner and breakfast were amazing! Best wood fired pizzas in the Kootenay’s. The rooms were a good size, cozy and comfortable. Cute, quaint and clean. We will be back and will let all our friends and family know about this Kootenay destination gem.

This is a super clean boutique style motel. Comfortable beds and cool rooms with ceiling fans in the summer and a fire place for the winter. The restaurant that is attached is really nice with a romantic setting. It has excellent food and the best gourmet pizza in the neighborhood. We have tried every kind of pizza and loved them all. The owners are so kind and generous. We can't wait to stay again one day very soon.

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. The restaurant looks very nice but we didn't make it back on time from Balfour to dine there. We ended up taking the 10:20pm ferry back to the motel. I would definitely stay there again if I am in that area.

We stopped by asking for some advice and ended up eating the best ice cream I have ever tried. Lemon was divine, and the chocolate was equally amazing. Great business, fantastic staff - I cant wait to try their Pizza! A special thanks for the help and hospitality we received on a Sunday evening.

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 was excellent.Our Caprese salad was fresh and tasty with a hint of pesto a nice treat.Our mains however fell short, my spaghetti pesto was under cooked and hard to eat. My wife's Schnitzel was tough and chewy leaving is both disappointed after having high hopes with the wonderful salad.

Update: Due to an unfortunate kitchen fire in late May ‘23, the restaurant is currently closed for repairs.Yet another Kootenay gem. In the post COVID realm of questionable culinary experiences Boccalino continues to offer quality offerings, sourced as locally as possible and prepared professionally with a European flair. Gisela, the owner provides unsurpassed, expert service in a clean and pleasant, tastefully decorated dining room.Don’t miss this one of a kind experience, right at the east end of the Kootenay Lake ferry.

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 so refreshing. Thank you Gisela for your warmth and creating a lovely ambiance. You and your team made our evening very special. Thank you so much.

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 only slightly. Overall, very good food for the remote location. Would recommend.
