Bonterra Trattoria
Chef Glen Manzer 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 hallmark the Italian way of life.
PLEASE NOTE: All reservations are for indoor dining only. Our patio is seasonal as well as weather dependent. Calgary's crazy weather makes the availability of this space uncertain and unpredictable. We are hoping to have it open by mid May.

Best patio in Calgary! Service and food are excellent and the white wine went well with the sunny afternoon...
Excellent food and service: enjoyed the patio. Will definitely be back!
Great patio, nice ambience. I loved the calamari salad and the margarita jalapeño!! Very good service, I will visit again!
Best patio in Calgary ... a little slice of Tuscany :-)
Loved the fun vibe on the patio. Safely distanced and lots of open area around our table
Well, this is the only restaurant that I go to in Calgary and it is the closest thing from a restaurant in Italy. So I do not need to talk about the quality of the food and atmosphere. But one aspect that has always caught my attention in all the years that I go to Bonterra is how it diverts from other restaurants in regards to the server's attire. Everyone is conservatively dressed, and the focus is on the quality of food and service.
Great outdoor dining experience
What a great little spot The food was fantastic and service great. Who knew the patio was such a great location, I never would have thought to come here for patio dining. Now I wish more places had such a cozy, comfy environment for a patio.
Wonderful warm welcoming place and fantastic food and service!
Tremendous service! Fabulous good! Great evening out.
The food was low quality. I've been here before and the food was amazing (in November) and got the same dishes. This time they were really not very good. Not worth the money
Fantastic Food! Fantastic service! Great little spot protected by pexiglass! I want to go back and try more menu items.
Very nice date location. Limited starter choices, no bread and olive olio served ( i thought that was odd) The mains are very delicious.
The food was delicious !
A very good Italian restaurant !
Great place, good vibes, amazing food.
Good place to go all out and get the full experience.
I hear the patio is nice, but it was still closed when we went.
Would definitely recommend to anyone.
A very pleasant experience. Food and service always dependably good.
The service was fantastic from both the server and the expo. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The food was also fantastic.
Amazing as always. The short Rib was so delicious, tender a great pair with the risotto. Service is always so great there
Always good food, always good service, always feels like home! Its been our go-to for weekday dinners and special occasions since they opened. They make our events an over-the-top celebration.
Amazing food and amazing service! Love the ambience.
We loved the starters (split pea soup and whipped ricotta) and well as our dessert (the best chocolate cake), however, neither myself nor my husband were impressed by the main dishes that were ordered (pork tenderloin special & short rib). We found they lacked seasoning (carrots were a bit too hard and pork was fatty).
Relaxing and great food. Staff were all very good and attentive.
It was such a lovely dinner and I had checked off that we were there for an anniversary when booking the table and didn't think anything of it. When we arrived they gave us champagne and were so lovely and wished us a happy anniversary. The food and service here are on another level. We will be coming back for sure.
Fabulous! As per usual
I was delighted with the food and service. I’m celiac and they were able to cook up some gluten free pasta for my delicious bolognese sauce.
Food was absolutely delicious! My husband says it’s the best Caesar Salad he’s ever had.
This is in our top 5 best restaurants in Calgary! We just love it here... especially in the summer on their outdoor patio area. I just love the ambiance and beautiful outdoor planters.
Waitress was wonderful and gave great recommendations
Lovely food and win
The food was amazing, wine was exquisite and the chocolate cake was to die for. Our waiter was excellent. Can’t believe we’ve never been there before. Will definitely be going back.
Excellent food and service and an overall experience!
Yummy but expensive! (32$ for small chicken entree)
The food was very good, but we waited for an hour for our food after our appetizers. Clearly there was a problem in the kitchen but our waitress never told us there was a problem or offered us anything while we waited not even an explanation. Only when we were leaving and we asked why our meal had been so delayed while everyone around us was served did she tell us there was a mixup in the kitchen.
Always amazing! We always have a great meal. The food is excellent and the service is always good. If you go in the summer the patio is one of the best in the city.
Awesome gluten free options, which is great for an Italian restaurant. Menu is frequently updated and changed, but always maintains consistent theme and level of quality. Have been here multiple times and never left dissatisfied.
Great food. Especially the Gluten Free Pasta. Great ambiance.
Our go-to! After living away for a couple of years, this had to be our first dining out evening. We've held a few of our milestone parties here - fantastic as always!
Food and service were top notch !!
We love going out to Bonterra Trattoria for dinner. It is one of our favorite places to go out. It never dissapoints. The whipped riccotta was delicious, and we both enjoyed our main courses of Short rib and Tagliatelle were both spectacular. Our server Amaris was wonderful and attentive. An evening out at Bonterra never disappoints.
Thank You!
Excellent dinner and service. Had such a great night. Highly recommended!!
Brand new menu, lots of delicious new takes on traditional Italian food
