After reading a few reviews this place and it sounded amazing! Was not disappointed at all. Amazing service, stunning food and ambience to die for!
The appetiser plate was perfect to start and my penne with soft melting beef cheeks was spectacular! There was nothing small about the portion sizes, some people obviously don't realise that fine dining means a minimum of 3 courses.
Bonterra offers a well thought out take on Italian cooking. We chose head chef Ben's Menu which included smoked goose as hors d'oeuvre, the feature risotto and a surprising goat's cheese cheesecake rolled in pistachios. They have a great patio.

Great space to come and enjoy a very pleasant dinner! We were sat in the patio and it was just so nice, they even have heaters for colder nights. The food was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed everything that was brought to our table, including the drinks! Our waiter was beyond attentive and very charismatic, just excellent service throughout from everyone. Would definitely recommend!
Delicious Italian food, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. 100% recommend for a date night or if you're looking for some good Italian food. I don't eat meat but they accommodated my dietary restrictions.
After a mix up from our hotel concierge, we showed up and had no reservation. It was a Sunday night and the place was packed!
At first they were not able to accommodate us, but the very gracious manager told us she will make something work. She was able to squeeze us in at the bar counter. She salvaged the night! After all we had walked over 20 minutes to the restaurant from our hotel. She was so incredibly kind throughout our entire dinner.
Our food was delicious and everything seems to be cooked to order right at the open kitchen at the entrance. The entire staff was working very hard to ensure everyone had a good dining experience.
I highly recommend a visit to Bonterra if you're every in Calgary.
This wonderful setting in downtown Calgary will always be one of my favorites. It feels like you aren't even in the city and are sitting on a Tuscan patio in Italy. The staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. The food is top notch and the flavors are always a delight for the palet.
10 out of 10 for excellent atmosphere, service and amazingly delicious food!
They were able to accommodate gluten free and vegan choices for those of us who requested it.
The appetizers were delectable, no pictures because I forgot. We had Tuscan White Bean Dip, creamy and nice amount of garlic. Boar Pate with fennel and spiced apple sauce on a bed of watercress. (Outstanding flavor!) Roasted mini Pepers, delicious! Wild Salmon was a special and was very tasty. I had Mushroom Ragu with Linguni (a vegan request).There was a delicious Risotto and other entrees ordered at our table.
Desserts were yummy. Olive Oil Cake with Mascarpone and Raspberry compote, Vanilla Gelato with Espresso, etc.
We will certainly be back!!!
The food was amazing! The manger was very welcoming and receptive. I'm excited for my next visit.
