Nicole’s guidebook & suggestions for Penticton, BC
Food scene
Pizzeria Tratto was born out of a passion for great Italian ingredients and a respect for the craft of pizza making. At the heart of it all is the traditional domed forno, which churns out perfectly balanced, soft, yet charred, Neapolitan pizza.
Delicious pizza & salads in a great setting.
At Tratto, you can expect great local and Italian flavours, an extensive Italian wine list, classic Italian cocktails, and local craft beer.

Beaches
Okanagan Beach has beautiful, soft sand with a Wibit play centre for families. Check out the Wibit online..I'd say it is best for kids ages 7+...younger kids can go on! The beach is quite large and spreads down lakeshore drive. Lakeshore drive has great places to eat, drink and get ice cream!
