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.

    I’ve been here a few times and the food is always cold. I come back for the vibes, not the heat.

    The English Garden and Nutella Espresso Martini were to die for!! Our server recommended the Campanelle and it tasted great, just wish the portion was a little bigger. I had the Barbarella burger which, I feel, was their take on a Big Mac.

    This restaurant is excellent quality and goes the distance for customer service and is a beautiful dining room and the atmosphere is lively. The downside I find is that the menu is completely set in concrete and they don't substitute anything. For example, if I wanted something less carby, I can order the Steak and fries, but I can't substitute the fries for a vegetable or salad. Instead they offer to upcharge you for a Caesar salad, or you can order a side of veg. Also, we wanted coffee after our lunch meal and asked if we could have ours in a to go cup, but they don't offer to go cups either. Overall, the food is always made quickly, tastes fantastic, and other than these minor issues, the experience is always pleasant if you're looking for something nicer and willing to pay more.

    Hi Dale, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that you enjoy dining with us and our service leaves a lasting impression. We take great care in crafting each dish to ensure the best balance of flavors and presentation, while we don’t offer substitutions, we do provide a variety of à la carte options to accommodate different preferences and dietary requirements. Our focus is on creating a complete dine-in experience, which is why we currently do not offer to go cups. We truly appreciate your feedback and will certainly keep it in mind as we continue to refine our guest experience. We hope to welcome you back soon!
