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.

    Jax was our server and he was wonderful. My husband and I both had different pastas that were delicious and the calamari is the best I have ever had

    Food was fantastic, as was the service. The price of a glass of wine is completely absurd. $33 for an 8 oz glass of wine...this is completely insane.

    The restaurant was lively and up beat, and the decor is modern. My wife and I had a table on the second level that overlooked Stephen Ave., which was nice for people watching because it was a warm March evening. The food was excellent and the service was great. I recommend this restaurant for any kind of event (couples, family or after work drinks).

    My friends and I had such a great time meeting up here for a birthday dinner. We would like to say we LOVED Alex our server. He was next level service and we all couldn't agree more. Alex rivaled the food for sure and we said we'd come back just for Alex. Such a sweet person! Food was amazing as usual. Ravioli is to die for as is the broccoli and endive citrus salad. Will absolutely be back.

    One of my favorite spots! The burger is one of the best in Calgary. Great food and drink options, excellent service and very vibrant atmosphere (it can get a bit loud at times). We will definitely be back!
