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.

    Christian took great care of us. My first time there, my guest had been before and made excellent meal suggestions.

    Our friend who is new in the country from Ukraine came for the first time with us . It was wonderful and took some of the leftover pizza to her husband and boys, what a treat.

    Hi Curtis, thank you for leaving us a 5-star review. We're thrilled you had a fantastic time dining with us and that you took advantage of the special we have running for January $25 for a crudo platter is a steal of a deal! We look forward to hosting you again soon!

    The food it always great when I go (this was my 4th or 5th time). However, this is the second time my service was awful. The first time we had a table of 7 friends and were left without seeing our waitress for over an hour. We were waiting for her to come back to get another drink but since she took over an hour we ended up going to the counter and asking for our bill to leave. Empty plates and drinks for an hour was super frustrating! Then tonight our waiter was grumpy, was barely listening to what I was saying, had to keep repeating, and he generally seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else but there. Just super unfriendly and difficult to talk to. It’s too bad because I love the food.

    Hi Lindsay, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're disappointed to hear your latest visit was not what it should've been and to the high level of service we pride yourselves on. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we've addressed this situation with our server team as a learning opportunity. We hope for another opportunity to provide you with a better experience!
