Italy is a country of breathtaking beauty - both the land and the people. It is this beauty that is the inspiration for Bonterra, a lively and spirited Italian Trattoria.

Chef Kevin Hazelaar prepares contemporary Italian fare with the emphasis on simple, fresh ingredients with an exciting twist. Experience the passions of Italy in our casual dining room; on our stunning Tuscan terrace; or in the Wine Room for a more private event.

Our vibrant cuisine perfectly reflects the passions, style, and gusto that is the Italian way of life.

PARKING: Complimentary three hour parking is available in the Indigo lot located behind the restaurant. Entrance to the lot is on 10th Ave SW, across from MEC. Come inside via the back entrance, and register your license plate on the Indigo tablet inside, found in front of the hostess stand.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bonterra Trattoria offers a charming Italian dining experience with a "beautiful patio" reminiscent of an Italian villa. Known for its "impeccable service" and "delicious food," guests rave about the calamari and carbonara. Despite some inconsistent service, the "wonderful ambiance" and "attentive staff" make it a top choice in Calgary.

    Everything and everyone from the behind scene staff, front of house, food, drinks and ambiance was exceptional. Our table of 4 greatly enjoyed our dinner experience. We could’ve stayed longer but we had theatre tickets. The noise level was greater than usual because of larger bookings of Christmas parties and our table was right next to a very large party which made conversation difficult!! However, it’s that time of year and it won’t stop me booking again

    Hi Rosalyn, Your review is so kind, and heartfelt! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. We ecstatic you enjoyed your dining experience with us. We do apologize for the noise level, you hit the nail on the head with the Christmas Season, everyone is in full cheer mode :) We look forward to welcoming you and your guests back any time at Bonterra! Thanks again! Kind regards, Bonterra Team

    The food was very tasty, and the service was prompt, friendly and courteous. The bill for lunch for two without any alcohol was just over $100

    You have to try the Goat Cheese Toast! The pasta is prepared to perfection and is the definition of Italian flavours. Highly recommend

    Best meal I have had at a restaurant, possibly ever. Food was amazing. Everything was so so good. Service was wonderful. We have been to Bonterra many times, and it is always great, but tonight was off the charts!

    Had the calamari, mussels, mushrooms, arancini, and meatballs. The dishes were on the salty side this evening but otherwise tasty.
    Bonterra TrattoriaResponded on 5 December 2024
    Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is important to us. I am sorry that your coursing wasn't as you had hoped, we generally run dishes that are ordered at the same time to share, in the order they are completed. Should you prefer another way on your next visit we are happy to course your meal how you like it. I did notice value and service were both three stars, I would love to hear more about your experience that warranted these stars so I am able to pass the feedback along to the staff :) Thanks again, and we look forward to welcoming you back at Bonterra! Kind regards, Lisa Kulyk General Manager lisa.k@bonterra.ca

    First timer to Bonterra - a special dinner with my daughter - the ambiance was magical with tasteful Christmas decor and holiday music outdoors as we entered. We felt welcomed and valued. The service, food, ambiance, glassware, cocktails, wine selection... I have only good things to say and can't wait to return.

    Thank you so much for leaving us a fantastic 5* review. We are over the moon you had a great experience with your daughter at our restuarant. Your feedback means a lot to us, and your compliments on the decor made our day :) We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Bonterra very soon. Kind Regards, Bonterra Team

    We enjoyed our dinner but we found the restaurant very expensive. Lamb chops for $106 seems a bit high!
