About this restaurant

  • Hot spot
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
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 lunch on the beautiful patio, Friday afternoon. Sun was out, weather was good, great atmosphere, a pre-stampede buzz!

    Barbarella is one of our favorite spots for a dinner out. The burger is one of the best in the city! Great service with lively ambiance.

    The food was amazing but our waiter disappeared for 30 mins at a time so that was frustrating.

    The food was fine, and the drinks were pretty average. The service was honestly some of the worst I have ever had. We waited over 45 minutes to get our bills and pay after our plates were cleared. No one checked on us during our meal. We mentioned that we needed to leave by a certain time and the server didn’t care. Mentioned an allergy as it was my first time dining there and the server basically rolled his eyes and said ‘well we don’t have any of that here.’
