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.

    Hi Brad, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that your visit was not what it should've been and we missed the mark on service this time. We've shared feedback with management to use as a teaching moment with our service team. We truly hope for another chance to provide a better experience next time!

    We enjoyed the experience in terms of ambience, and layout. The food was okay. Not bad, but also not impressive. The tiramisu was definitely the best bang for your buck due to the portion. Our position experience was mainly thanks to our server, Paul. He was attentive and meticulous with everything. He approached us with just the right amount. We never felt like he was hovering around us, nor did we ever feel neglected. Hard to say for sure that we'll come back and if we do, it'll probably be for a social bar type of thing and for the exceptional customer service. Not for the food quality.

    Hi Kevin, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the visit and Paul's exceptional service was a highlight. If you would be so kind as to share any further insights on the food, we would love to pass this feedback to our culinary team for consideration. You can reach us at info@barbarellabar.ca, we hope to see you back again soon!

    Great ambiance, very welcoming staff. The food is delicious. I would recommend the pizzas and calamari. I would not recommend the tiramisu is was salty.

    This was our first visit, but definitely won't be our last! The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Service was attentive but not intrusive. I highly recommend a visit to Barbarella for a celebration meal, or a nice night out.

    Concorde has set the bench mark for exceptional premium casual dining in Calgary, so expectations are high when dining at one of their properties. Barbarella, as expected, hit it out of the park once again! Brad B provided exceptional, knowledge and personable service., drinks were fantastic - from the Crimson Lion cocktail to the well curated beer and wine list and every dish was delicious! The ravioli is one of my favourites dishes in the city and we tried a couple of their Valentine’s features, which were also fabulous! We also really enjoyed the table we were sat at, tucked away in a corner of the main floor.
