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 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.

    The food was extremely greasy, the grilled chicken was actually fried chicken. Highly disappointed with the overall experience. Definitely not worth the money.

    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.
