About this restaurant

  • Hot spot
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    The atmosphere is great at Barbarella, the greeting staff was very friendly and our waitress (Linda B) was awesome! She was very attentative and interactive, sharing recommendations, personal stories, and had pleasant exchanges with all of us at the table (4). Each of us in the group also commented that the atmosphere was very much like some of our favorite restaurants when we travel - a nice open concept approach, enables you to see the kitchen "in action" but at the same time has lots of separation between tables and a nicely designed layout so you don't feel like your eating with 200 of your closest friends :). Everyone in the group REALLY enjoyed all of their food choices, I was the only one that wasn't "over the top" with mine (I had the Striploin, Medium Rare. I know, what am I doing ordering a steak at an Italian restaurant??!!) It was generally "ok", just a little too "gristley/fatty" and chewy for a New York Striploin which is typically a leaner meat. It also wasn't particularly seasoned overly well, so kind of left me wanting to come back and order one of your great looking pizzas! It absolutley wouldn't deter me from returning, and we will be back for sure!

    Hi Barry, thank you for taking the time to leave us a glowing 5-star review. We're delighted you enjoyed your visit and Linda's service was a highlight in the evening! We appreciate your feedback on our striploin and have passed your insights to our head chef for consideration. If you haven't already please visit us any day of the week between 2:00pm-5:00pm to enjoy half off all pizza and drinks during happy hour. We hope to see you again soon!
