Inspired by the chic mid-century yacht culture of Southern Italy and the fresh flavours of the Pacific Northwest, we bring sun-drenched coastal flavours to Calgary.

Our dishes reimagine quintessentially Mediterranean fare with locally sourced West Coast ingredients. From zesty aperitifs, fresh crisp sides, bright mains and unashamedly indulgent desserts, each item on our menu will refresh your senses and transport you to a sunny boat deck on the Amalfi Coast.

    We had a wonderful time here this evening! We ended up being late and the front desk was incredibly accommodating and kind about our situation. Both servers who took care of us were fabulous making sure we always had drinks and were properly taken care of. Couldn’t ask for more!

    Everything was really good as always…. However, the Martini Espresso needs to be improved… it was quite strong liquor wise and very coffee tasteless

    The food was good, ambience was loud… if you are an introvert or have sensory issues, this isn’t the place for you. But really loved the drink menu and the pizza.

    This wasn't our first visit to Barbarella's and it won't be the last. I love this restaurant! I love the feeling of being here, every dish we have tried is delicious and the service is always top notch. Our waiter Christian took such great care of us and provided us the most excellent experience. If you haven't already been here please don't wait too long, it will be a night out you won't forget.

    Barbarella offers a relaxed and enjoyable environment which is ideal for family, friends and couples to enjoy excellent food delivered with aplomb and grace. We had a perfect evening as a family enjoying a bottle of wine together with the pastas and pizza. Highly recommend.

    Always consistent and delicious. One of the best happy hours in Calgary with 50% off cocktails and pizza. Tomato pizza and Campanelle pasta are always my go-to dishes, as well as Passionfruit Spritz for my cocktail of choice. Lovely service and ambiance, and great central location which is easy to spot.
