Our story
At SS106 Aperitivo Bar, we bring the social Italian lifestyle to Calgary through authentic Southern Italian food, aperitivo, cocktails, wine, music, and conversation. Established in 2016 by owner Domenico Spadafora, our concept was inspired by his connection to Stalettì in Calabria, his father's hometown, and by years of travel and cultural exploration.Our name comes from the SS106, the 491-kilometre Ionian-coast highway connecting Reggio Calabria and Taranto in Southern Italy. We created SS106 to offer Calgary a lively, welcoming Italian bar experience—one that reflects the convivial, happy, and social character of everyday Italian dining while serving authentic flavours in the heart of YYC.

The food was amazing. I ordered the tuna and it was perfectly cooked. The accompanying vegetables were tender crisp and absolutely delicious. In particular, the grill marks on the zucchini were a nice touch adding to the overall presentation of the meal. The lemon sorbeto for dessert was out of this world and again, the presentation was nicely done in an actual hollowed out lemon. I give the food a 5/5. Service was a bit slow as the restaurant was full and it took time for us to get the final bill. However, our server was really good at keeping the water glasses full.As for the atmosphere, it is extremely loud in there. Yes, the restaurant was full but we had to talk really loud just to be heard at our own table. To make matters worse, staff turned up the music making it impossib
What a fantastic experience. The meal was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully.I was particularly impressed by the perfectly grilled zucchini, which had such great flavor. Everything was fresh and prepared with real care. I cannot wait to return for another visit soon.
We made a reservation for five, and from the start it felt like the restaurant was quite understaffed. After receiving our antipasto platter, it took over an hour for our entrées to arrive—even though the place was only about half full. It seemed like they may have been prioritizing third-party delivery orders over guests dining in.Although the wait was frustrating, the food itself was reasonably priced and very filling. The portion sizes were surprisingly large, especially the antipasto platter and desserts.That said, there were some issues with execution—the veal was overcooked, and the vegetables were underwhelming and lacked proper seasoning.
This is the first time I’ve visited SS106 Aperitivo restaurant in Bridgeland. I was looking on-line for BEST vegetarian restaurants and it was a top-rated option. I looked at their menu on Open Table and was excited to see that they had mushroom risotto. I made a reservation for my girlfriend and I for their Wednesday night Ladies night. Unfortunately, the menu on Open Table was not current and they did not offer the mushroom risotto. I told the owner, Dominic that I was very disappointed that they did not have my favourite dish. He offered to have the chef make the risotto dish. WOW, it was delicious! The wine pairing he recommended was perfect!I would highly recommend this authentic Southern Italian restaurant! You will love it!
I had Fileja, Gnocchi Rapini, chilli coconut marg, house white and pizza. Pizza and Gnocchi were not that great but Fileja was really good. I’d come back for Fileja but not the pizza unfortunately. Good vibes and cozy

Elizabeta is one of the most amazing servers I’ve ever had the joy of experiencing!!! She is so knowledgeable about the menu and makes amazing recommendations after asking just a few questions. The food is amazing and the chef even comes out to speak to you and check in about how the food is!!! Everything I had was amazing; the ancovio chirrati, all of the cocktails and spritzes, the desserts and even the ambiance is so beautiful and ritzy, but not intimidating at all! SS106 is such a neighbourhood gem and I’m so glad I got to experience it!
Great experience, food was awesome (get the pinsa (pizza) romana!) and service outstanding! Very vibrant place, I would go there every week. Thank you Domenico!
We had a wonderful evening at SS106. The staff were welcoming and friendly and it had a very positive vibe. The owner was there and was friendly with everyone which was nice to see. The food was amazing and we found the prices to be very reasonable. We cant wait to return!!
Overwhelming at first watching the Canada v Qatar game, but the energy of the place became infectious. Food, AMAZING!!! Service, AMAZING!!!
