   Good was excellent. Pasta dishes were full satisfaction for all 4 of us. Appetizers were great. Server was a bit on the harsh side but great ambiance on their enclosed patio.

   The server was doing her max to give us attention vut I think they were too busy. Food was good, apps were the highlight of the night and wine is a bit overpriced. Overall very good dinner.

   A nice place to eat that is slightly more upscale but not stuffy. The food was quite good and the waitress we had was very kind. Would come back!

   Great location for a date night. This was our second time visiting Bonterra. We both tried the 4 course dinner menu ( salad , pasta dish, main and dessert ). The salad and pasta dish were amazing. Sadly, the last two courses were disappointing. The main dish featured tenderloin and roasted carrots, neither of which were cooked particularly well. The small tenderloin was so rare, it was raw and cold to the touch, and the carrots were inconsistently cooked. Lastly the dessert was a ricotta cheesecake. In our opinion, it was OK, more savoury than sweet. Offering a 4 course meal to showcase different dishes is a great way for patrons to try new things. In this case, the execution was not there. I feel there is a expectation with a set four course meal with no substitutions or options that everything is a hit. This was not.

   As an Italian who makes my own pasta and other dishes from scratch, it's difficult to find "Nonna's" quality. This is a definitely a go to when I'm not feeling like making Italian myself.

    My daughter and I liked the ambience very much. Ordered six items one of which never arrived at the table as server forgot. However it was a welcome accident since we ordered too much and didn’t factor in the richness of the dishes. For drinks we tried two seasonal cocktails. Lovely. Our Order: Formaggio di Capra, perfect for two people to share. Very delicious Insalata di Cato, this was a very delicious salad however as tasty as the dressing was, it was wayyyy too much. Order on the side. Too drenched. Veal Meatballs were too tight and the sauce was clumpy and tasteless. Agnello, lamb stew. Very delicious but would recommend ordering the House-Made Focaccia on the side. Large enough for two moderate eaters to share. And lastly a side of asparagus with a weird truffle egg salad concoction drenched in oil. Honestly, it was wayyy too saturated with oil for us to enjoy. Slightly odd dish. The Calamari never showed up but towards the end of our meal it was a welcome mistake as we were stuffed. Overall a few hit and misses. If you are an experience cook and dine out often, you will be more opinionated than the average person. The menu isn’t very descriptive so ask lots of follow up questions.

    Sadly they were out of the steak and that’s one of the reasons we wanted to come to the restaurant for a celebratory meal. We only we told after we ordered our food. We sat in the upper corner of the wine room which does feel like you’re away from the atmosphere because it’s partitioned and secluded.

    Dine inside or on the garden-esque patio, it’s a lovely spot for a date or celebration or a just-want-some-pasta Tuesday! The staff are knowledgeable about the food and beverage menu and are kind to young and old. We had the focaccia (fresh and yum), the olives, calamari (a must try), the Angry Shrimp (perfect spice level) and the steak. Amazing meal! As always, Bonterra meets or exceeds our expectations! Oh, and the tiramisu? Perfection IMO.

    One of my favourite resin Calgary! The service, cleanliness and ambiance are all still impressive. The food has suffered a bit. The Mother’s Day brunch lobster eggs Benedict was smothered in sauce and the lobster portion was minimal. The food used to be outstanding. I still recommend eating there.

    Mother’s Day brunch. Had the lobster ricotta Benny. It was insanely delicious! I will without a doubt be back for it again. They will now be open on Sundays for brunch and I can’t wait to go back. With so many inner city brunch options, it takes something pretty spectacular to have me itching to go back asap.

    The decor and atmosphere is nice. A blend of modern, and old-world Italian. I was the first customer to arrive for lunch on a weekday at 11:30, and I was dining alone, so maybe that explains the lack of service. The staff were friendly when they sat me, took my order, and then brought the bill, but otherwise no one took any notice of me, or came to check on anything. I ordered the Tagliatelle (spaghetti) Bolognese. It was quite plain. It was a lunch size (large fist) portion of pasta with no accompaniments for $27. Overall it wasn’t a terrible experience - I came for pasta, and that’s what I got, but I wasn’t really impressed by anything either. Maybe it would have been better if it were a busier time of the day.

    Veal was rare, broccolini was literally swimming in oil so that no one at our table would touch it... asked if they could prepare it with less oil, to which the server told us that the chef refused to prepare it with less oil...?! What? (The other two dishes at our table were wonderful!)

    The food was good but unfortunately our service was not. It was a busy night and they had many tables but for whatever reason our waitress got sent home because "it wasn't busy enough". They had 1 waiter trying to take care of 8 or 9 tables, a couple of which were 6+ people. It looked like there were 2 waitresses for the back section of the restaurant (who, once we got up to ask, started to come help our table) It took a very long time between courses and then once we finished our dinner, took over 30 minutes to get a dessert order in. We had to ask multiple times to have our water refilled and then at the end waited for 20 minutes to pay our bill. My fiance eventually had to get up and go to the bar to pay our bill. Disappointing as I had been looking forward to trying Bonterra but 3+ hours for dinner and dessert isn't great.
