About this restaurant

Lively
Hot spot
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.

We were seated in the mezzanine where the vibe is more relaxed and intimate. The restaurant was very busy but the host team were still very prompt in taking us to our table. We liked the family style menu where we were given a lot of options for the various courses and stages of dinner. The best part of our experience was our server, Björn, who was very knowledgeable about the menu and the different drinks to be paired with our choices. He timed each of our courses impeccably and ensured our table was cleared for each dish. He even took the time to recommend dishes based on our preferences and they were all spot on! It’s not typical to have such great service especially during peak hours but Björn really made our dinner the perfect experience for us. We highly recommend Barbarella for the food, ambiance, and mostly the service. Finally, the lemon brûlée was truly amazing.

Great restaurant ambience. Service was good. Our server was courteous and helpful. The food lacked a bit though. The calamari seemed to have onion flavor. Almost as if some were onion rings. Pasta and chicken was decent but lacked a bit of flavor and wow factor. Overall a nice place to have drinks but would try something different from the menu to give it another try.

Our main server was very kind and attentive, but we had multiple other servers try to deliver us food incorrectly. Also I believe we had 2 different shift supervisors come by the table at multiple times to ask us if we needed anything. While not bad obviously, seemed a bit excessive.

The food was pretty good. A friend and I shared the scallops, ahi, zucchini, beet salad and burrata. The portions were small, with the exception of beet salad, but the prices were appropriate for the portion size. The service was excellent, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was mediocre. The menu descriptions sounded amazing but the food was a little bit bland. None of our menu choices were memorable, everything was okay, but not spectacular. This was my third time at Barbarella and the experience didn’t live up to my last visits.

We've shared your insights with our head chef for consideration and truly hope for another opportunity to provide a better experience!

Everything started very well. We got the booking and after we came 15 minutes before, surprisingly we got seated. Not right away, but understandable. First we got the drinks and thought we are gonna get asked what we’d like to eat, but no. We waited just to make the order for almost 30 minutes, even though she knew we are ready because she was going back and forward picking up everything from other tables but only not ours. Again might be understandable, but still, we were hungry and could wait 30 minutes for food to get ready but not to just make an order. We asked if management could possibly change our waiter but instead manager said sorry and a bunch of different people including the SAME waitress were coming to our table, which wasn’t very pleasant it was more uncomfortable. Good was good, as well as overall surroundings excluding our table thing. That was our experience

Hi Andrii, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're disappointed to hear that service fell short on this occasion and the wait was longer than it usually is to order. Your feedback has been shared with our management team to address with the server as a learning opportunity. We're glad you enjoyed the food and we hope for another opportunity to show you a better experience!
