Why We Love Them

Barbarella brings big dock energy and a coastal mood to Stephen Ave by leaning into mid century Italian yacht life. We love the massive horseshoe bar and lounge area with retro hanging fireplaces surrounded by super comfortable seating. The mezzanine is also great when you want a calmer table for a longer meal. The move is their daily Aperitivo window from 2-5pm: half price pizzas and drinks from mid afternoon, which turns a casual meet into an easy repeat ritual. The menu leans into mid century coastal Italian, with wood fired pies and plates that work for a pre show bite or a late weekend hang. It is sunny, lively, and reliable, so locals definitley keep it on the short list.
