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.

    Overall pretty solid experience. The server was extraordinary and honestly made the night. His timing was impeccable and attempted to keep or pesky candle lit the whole night. He didn't rush us even though we stayed wrote awhile. He gave recommendations through the whole menu, which we ended up listening to, and overall they were great suggestions. We started with the Ricotta Crostini and Ahi plate. The crostini was life beyond delicious and it is a must order. The Ahi had too much cilantro (and I like cilantro), but once I put the right amount on, it was great. We also ordered the Beet Salad which was huge, but way too bitter with the choice of greens. For mains we shared the Pistachio Ravioli and Date & Gorgonzola Pizza. Not my normal choices, but they were uniqe, rich, with a touch of sweetness. The crust on the pizza was amazing. Their Perfect Negroni was am amazing cocktail. The Crimson Lion was just okay.

    Great atmosphere and the happy hour is a deal with half price alcohol and pizza. I’ve been before and our server was fantastic. This time we sat at the bar and had a young man who was less than friendly and attentive. Why should we close off our tab when he’s done his shift? Get your tip from your coworkers. The pizza had a nice light crust and spicy sausage and the half price wine was a good deal.
    BarbarellaResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Adene, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad you enjoyed our pizza and took advantage of our happy hour special! At the time of shift change-over, our servers touch base with their tables to see if you'll like to settle the bill or transfer to a new server, the choice is totally up to you! We apologize if there was any miscommunication on this occasion.
