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.

    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.

    Amazing food and cocktails. The pizza is divine and half off during happy hour is just too good of a deal!

    Great food as always! Good service. It's a bit loud but that normally doesn't bother me.. Tonight my dad was with us though and he had trouble hearing the servers.

    The food was delicious. I found the pasta a little undercooked, but it was still tasty. My biggest disappointment was when I booked the reservation. I noted that it was my daughter's sweet 16th birthday, which wasn't acknowledged. The server was lovely, unfortunately, due to that experience of no acknowledgment of the note in my reservations, I don't have any desire to revisit.

    Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed our food, our pastas are cooked to al dente however we'll be happy to cook it longer for you - please let us know next time. We're sorry that we missed wishing your daughter a happy birthday on this occasion, we're very lucky that our guests choose to celebrate special milestones with us and we want to always acknowledge the occasion. We hope for the chance to host you again!
