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.

    Great place to start off the NYE celebrations. Calamari is a must try (best in the city) and the Spaghetti Limone was a highlight. Their in-house made pasta was very good and cooked perfectly. We also had the oysters which were very fresh and the passionfruit hot sauce was a nice surprise. Highly recommend.

    Took my mom there while she was visiting from Newfoundland. We shared the burrata, the Caesar salad, a pasta and the cod. Everything tasted amazing. The server was polite and attentive and our drinks were lovely. It is a little loud if that is an issue for you but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience there.

    Great experience. Pizzas and salad were good. Coffees were ok. Will skip coffee next time and go to a place with a barista.

    I had an amazing dining experience at Barbarella Restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was beautifully presented. A special thanks to Aroldo, our waiter, for his exceptional service. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His helpful recommendations made our meal even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back again soon. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!"

    Food was excellent. My husband and I especially enjoyed the Calamari, the Cauliflower. Our entrees were really good as well. Very nice ambience and very modern but very comfortable. The noise level was a bit on the louder side for conversation but overall great experience. We would go again.

    Hi Cattleya, thank you for leaving us a glowing 5-star review. We're thrilled our crispy calamari and warm cauliflower dishes were a hit! If you haven't already, please join us during happy hour between 2:00-5:00pm any day of the week to enjoy half off all pizza and drinks. We hope to see you soon!

    The ambience was excellent. The food quality and presentation was great. However, we had seating in a side area but out on the main floor would have been better.
