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.

    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!

    Our server, Paige was wonderful and really made our group feel welcome and cared about for certain dietary restrictions, which just made our night out that much better. My Martini Olivia came out perfect and our food was delicious and well timed. The tomato hazelnut dip and crispy calamari is something I'll be dreaming out for days to come. You definitely have future customers out of us!

    The lemon tarte was delicious! The service was great and the upstairs seating was quieter which made for a better ambiance. Would recommend!

    We had a wonderful time here this evening! We ended up being late and the front desk was incredibly accommodating and kind about our situation. Both servers who took care of us were fabulous making sure we always had drinks and were properly taken care of. Couldn’t ask for more!
