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 Michael Preston 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.

    Had anyone asked I would have shared this. Service was sparse and seemed overworked. Food was warm, not quite cold. Menus and empty glasses remained on the table throughout the night. The 1970s and 80s soundtrack seemed inappropriate for the demographic of the crowd as well as being far too loud. I would’ve been happy to augment my experience with more wine, but wasn’t offered a second glass until after my meal was cleared. Unfortunately, I had to go to the bar to order my first glass. There appeared to be only two servers working but two managers. Perhaps common sense would prevail and someone could lend a hand. A very five out of 10 experience. I will not go back

    Bonterra Trattoria in Calgary offers an exquisite dining experience that beautifully combines Italian flavours with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The service is impeccable, and the wine list is impressive. Whether you're there for a romantic dinner or a special celebration, Bonterra Trattoria never disappoints. Highly recommend!

    I liked the old menu better. No girrisini/ breadsticks Water took the focaccia without it being finished and didn’t ask. Food is ok but it’s not authentic northern Italian anymore The focaccia….is not even remotely similar to focaccia. I am very disappointed. I will hade to find a new favorite
    Bonterra TrattoriaResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Paul, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. I am very sorry that our menu doesn't hit the mark for your preference. We do try to make the menu as authentic as we can with local ingredients and offerings that suit and cater to a variety of tastes and preferences toward what Italian 'should be' (in Calgary). Our menu does change with trends, and multiple times per year, so we are able to use feedback to create dishes that guests enjoy and return for! I apologize for the breadsticks, as that item was removed several years ago, but will definitely consider this suggestion. I will be sure to pass your feedback on to the team, and hopefully we get an opportunity to serve you again at Bonterra. We welcome you any time. Kindest regards, Lisa Kulyk General Manager

    Bonterra TrattoriaResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Carron, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are thrilled that you had a wonderful meal. Unfortunately with the high ceilings and being an older building the drafts can definitely make their way in. We will adjust the temperature any time if you feel chilly, be sure to let our team know and we will make you as comfortable as we can :) Thanks again for letting us host you and we look forward to having you back again at Bonterra! Kindest regards, Lisa Kulyk General Manager
