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 food, but should have been warmer when it got to the table. Should have given us a table that didn't have a broken leg that rocked (and they told us they knew about it beforehand), otherwise enjoyed our dinner. Beautiful place, great ambience, delicious food and good service. Will definitely give them another try.

    This was our first time visiting and will not be our last. Brad B was our server and was excellent! He seemed genuine and willing to help, he provided us recommendations for dinner and dessert and gave us tips how to best enjoy the lemon tart and described how their tiramisu and limoncello are different. He made the experience 10/10. We had ricotta toast, artichokes, spaghetti, ravioli, lemon tart and tiramisu.

    It's a wonderful happy hour. With half off all drinks and pizza, how can you go wrong? The pizzas are great, and the drinks are amazing. The service and ambiance can’t be beat.

    This was my second time trying out Barbarella and each time this place did not miss!! Love the attentiveness of the staff, quality of the food, and the energy. Probably one of my favourite restaurants to-date.

    Always have a great time. Best happy hour in Calgary - bottle of wine, half price, 1/2 price pizza. Unbeatable

    Everything would have been 100% up until us being presented the bill before we were done. Felt rushed and forced to leave. Our server, the food, and ambiance was all quite lovely aside from being rushed away.
