Bonterra Trattoria

This place is possibly one of my favorite places to eat in the city, it was my first visit for dinner and I have nothing bad to say! Our server George was knowledgeable and witty, he spent time talking with us and making recommendations but didn't stand wrong and long. The food is to die for and we had a lovely bottle of red and tiramisu for dessert. The ambiance, music and vibe were all on point too! I must visit location in Calgary for an amazing dinner

Great atmosphere and food especially on the patio the only downside of the evening was service and communication from our initial booking. Had booked in advance as had some dietary requirements for two of our party (pregnant and immunocompromised) when we got sat and gave our order nothing was asked about allergies I thought they already knew. As one of our party is immunocompromised they can’t have cheeses made from raw milk grated over the food. I had asked all this in advance before booking and was told no problem. So when some of the dishes came like the meatballs and arancini they are covered in cheese. As you can see. So that wasn’t good. Then I asked for two glasses of bubbly as we were celebrating my bday. The waiter asked what are we celebrating? and I said my bday and he was surprised and said oh. (I had said this before booking in my emails) I’m not expecting any sparkles or cake or anything free but it was clear to me that there was no communication about my booking and dietary needs to the staff. That was sad and concerning. Unfortunately we had about 30 mins wait from end of antipasti/starters to main course (kitchen was backed up) that happens so not the end of the world. However no one came and checked in and just left us sat there with an empty table. Overall the atmosphere and food were good just sad for a special occasion the servers didn’t really know what was going on. Also to top it off you can’t tip lower than 20% I was told after by one of our party. Which I think for that night didn’t reflect the service we were given. Hope communication gets better moving forward as the place is lovely and would go back for sure.

Bonterra isn't new and trending but they consistently deliver tasty food and great service. We are long time diners (we had our wedding there many many years ago) and have continued to enjoy the evolving menus and options. The patio is still beautiful and the wine room a great place for small gatherings. This last visit we tried the Date Night which was a nice assortment of appetizers and desserts with a choice of main - would recommend for anyone hoping to get a glimpse into the regular al a carte menu.

One of the best meals and dining experiences we’ve ever had!! Dwalu was our server and he was impeccable! His energy was unreal, and walked us through the specials and the menu. We sat at the patio and we felt like we were teleported to Italy, such beautiful decor and ambience. The food was so delicious and came out fast! I had the gnocchi and it was *chef’s kiss*. My fiancée and I came to celebrate our engagement and the whole Bonterra Trattoria team made it the most special evening! Bringing us champagne, dessert, and even a card signed by the team, this made the night 100/10! Highly, highly recommend!

First time going and was not disappointed! The food was amazing and so was the service. Our server Shane really created a memorable night and we’ll be back for sure! The Lamb and Bruschetta were standout dishes that I’d highly recommend

Despite having a reservation in a private area for a birthday, we still had to wait probably around 45 minutes at the bar which is not ideal at all especially since we had other plans after.. I understand waiting a bit as restaurants do get extremely busy, but 45 minutes is kind of a reach especially if we booked a reservation. The staff were decent, but our server was a sweetheart. I ordered a risotto and it was delicious. The atmosphere is loud, but reasonably so as it was busy. Wish I could have tried more food as from what I tried, the food was great but we were on a bit of a time crunch after waiting.

Visiting town and stumbled upon this place. A bit on the pricier side, but the food is good. The inside is nice but seemed a bit noisy, so we sat on the terrace and it was fantastic. Very pleasant with heaters.
