Angela makes the pasta fresh daily and her husband, Danilo, walks around ensuring everyone is having a great time! Anything you order from here will be good but Ed and Bree always get the burrata!

- Walk the boardwalk from the sails (in front of Earls Restaurant) to Tugboat Beach.

- Do some shopping along Bernard Ave. Our favourite stores: Mosaic books, Frock & Fellow consignment shop, and right beside it is Funktional, a gift shop with lots of local artisan products.

- Visit some wineries! Our favourites are Mission Hill and Quail's Gate in West Kelowna. If you have a half day and want to visit multiple wineries without worrying about finding a designated driver, we recommend Vine49 tours.

- If you prefer beer it's easy to do a brewery walking tour close to downtown. Start at "The Office" brewery, from there you can go to Rustic Reel, Jacknife, RedBird and then BNA.

- Speaking of BNA, they have a bowling alley (Flintstone style... 10 pin!) here they serve drinks out of an Airstream

- If hiking is your jam, Knox mountain is a great hike located close to downtown! Try the Apex trail to get to the top or Paul's Tomb for lake views with less elevation
