Recently @chefbenmills participated in our first Mangalitza Festival outside of Strathmore at @eh_farms. We were beyond excited be apart of their first kill, and we purchased half of the two year old pig. Chef Mills has plans to use every part for items like house curing: lonza, filedo, lardo and of course bacon. You can expect to for these dishes to be available in the next 3-6months. #bonterratrattoria #pork @ Bonterra Trattoria

We are beyond excited to be hosting our first dinner, the Amalfi Coast Lobster Feast, on the patio this September. Plus our group of sister restaurants has some great events going on too!

Chef Benjamin Mills loves to use as many local and seasonal products as he can.
Come and enjoy these goat cheese stuffed squash blossoms, they won’t last long! #bonterratrattoria #eatlocalyyc

We had such a blast at Brewery & The Beast today!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our grill and enjoyed a bite, we are already looking forward to next year. #breweryandthebeast

We have some delicious features right now from products that are only in season for a short time. Come enjoy these prosciutto wrapped black mission figs. They are stuffed with gorgonzola baked in the oven and finished with vincotto. They are only here for a short time so make sure to come enjoy them while soon! #bonterratrattoria #feature

Antipasto is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Olives, cured meats, imported cheeses and house-made accompaniments is the perfect way to start off any meal. Come eat Italian with us! #bonterratrattoria #antipasto

We had such a great time hosting The Ace Class this past weekend for the Babes Who Brunch!
Such an inspirational group of ladies and the weather couldn't have turned out better for an afternoon on the patio.

Thanks for coming in and visiting us Noshing With The Nolands

A crisp glass of wine and not a corn dog in site, come escape some of that midway heat with us this week! #bonterratrattoria #calgarysummer

Wonderful meal with the family and great service in a beautiful setting.

Went with my wife and 4year-old on a whim and ended up having one of the best dinners we've had in a while! Besides the terrific food, its was the service of our waiter, Sandor(?), that elevated the evening to being so enjoyable for us. Highly recommended!

We were recommended by our parents who are foodies and dine out a lot! We ate every bite! Amazing meal we will never forget!!!

We had friends of our invite us there for dinner . Your service & food were a 10.

I want to thank you all for a wonderful meal .

I will recommend your restaurant yo all.

Was delicious food, staff was great!!! Couldn't complain about one thing, it was our first time there, had appies and dinner everyone at our table was very happy with everything they had, will be back soon!!!!

Was amazing! Great ambience and according to this Italian girl the food was delicious!!

Very accommodating in spite of a handful of health concerns, allergies and dietary needs thank you so much, food was fabulous, service was excellent!!!

This was one of the best meal dove ever eaten. I'm a self proclaimed foodie and enjoy fine restaurants. The staff was so knowledgable, friendly, and utterly amazing. The chef even came to our table. Will be back

Every time I come to Calgary.

Really good food!���

I have eaten here twice now and both times has been amazing, first time was with my husband we enjoyed the intimate setting and the staff was extremely knowledgeable. Second time was just as incredible, it was as a party for my friends birthday we had a semi private room and a three course plated meal, everything was timed perfectly as we were on a schedule!! Food is delicious and I'll be going back 100%

Highly recommend!! The service was excellent and the food was fantastic!!

Great ambiance...delicious food and friendly service

First visit to Bonterra. Today's lunch and service was fantastic. Will be back for dinner sometime.

Excellent service! Excellent food! If you order the family style diner pace yourself

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.

Best food I have eaten since I moved here from Vancouver 2 years ago. If I could have given more stars I would have. Everything I tasted was perfection. Service was also fantastic. So excited to go again!

Being a Winnipeger, I have now been to Bonterra Trattoria twice --- Once in August during my visit to Calgary ... When my friends & I enjoyed our amazing dinner on your beautiful patio. And just now this past weekend, for a special birthday celebration event with 40 others. Again, it was a wonderful experience in all aspects! Your food, the ambience & the service was stellar ... We look forward to our next visit to Calgary --- And we will definitely be back to Bonterra Trattoria ...

Beautiful little patio, service was great. The food was to die for

Attended a wedding reception this weekend. Everything was amazing!

An amazing restaurant!! I've never had anything here I didn't love. They're patio is awesome!!

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.

Absolutely wonderful! We stopped in for our anniversary and the food was excellent across the board. I especially enjoyed the lamb tartar. Our server was knowledgeable and very friendly and we will be sure to stop in any time we are in town.

Absolutely amazing place. Food was truly an experience. I haven't been here before and found the menu to be a number of flavours I have never encountered. Service was above Five Star thank you to John for meeting every single possible need.

Was here on Saturday night for a bachelorette dinner. Our server Sandor was great! Let us taste 4 different wines to choose what we wanted, understood when half of our party was running behind, and was happy to accommodate our rush at the end of our meal to catch or awaiting limo. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the bruschetta and Cato salad. My only slight complaint is it did seem to be taking awhile for food. We were almost 2 hours in when we asked how long until our entrees (we were on a tight time frame) and were told 30 covers were in front of ours. Other than that our experience was great and I will definitely be back!

My first time here! Did the chef tasting. Was amazing food quality and presentation. We were very well taken care of. Only timing of the chef tasting could've been better. Took a most 3 hours to do the 8 courses. Definitely will be back. But will order al la carte! Beautiful patio! Sitting there is a must!

Food was great but more than 2.5 hours for the 4 course tasting menu was far too long. Service could have been better.

Enjoyed the pumpkin ravioli,we were well taken care of,this place doesn't disappoint in any area.kudos

Expensive, small entrees.

Patio is beautiful, but if you're sitting under a heater, you'll be very uncomfortable.

Brought my teenagers for pasta. Had the carbonera. Not nearly enough pasta to balance the egg yolk. Double the noodle and perfect.

The food was average and pricey for what you get. Hardly anything on your plate. We were a party of 5 and it took our food just over an hour to come out.

The bright side? The patio was done very nicely. Flowers and birds everywhere so it was nice.

Overpriced. We were Told portions are smaller now because they have to pay higher minimum wage.

Tried organizing a dinner for my guests (20 people) and we arrived 15 mins prior to our reservation and we're served by 10? i mean i understand there are alot of people but taking that long is ridiculous (especially since the restaurant was not that busy). Pricing was misunderstood and the manager tried defending himself and embarrassing my guests in front of everyone instead. I mean when a customer is upset, your suppose to make sure they leave with a smile on their face... not a bad taste in their mouth. Definitely not recommending to anyone.

Horrible place to have any sort of event. I hosted my birthday here with 15 guests and we got nothing but horrible service. We had booked this place two weeks prior to the event, we also informed the staff there about the plan, how many people would come, and my boyfriend informed them that he will bring cake for the guests which he took the initiative to drop off the morning of the event. He spoke to the manager and made sure everything would run smoothly. However during the time someone else was in charge and not only did he fail to coordinate his staff properly he took no initiative to apologize or accommodate us when our food came two hours late (ONLY STARTERS). Our reservation was booked at 8:45 however we arrived there at 8:30 and everyone had ordered before 9 off the customized menu they offered us. My guests were getting impatient once it was 10 pm and it was an embarrassing and awkward situation for me as the restaurant was not that busy and our orders were similar since we had a limited variety to choose from off the customized menu. Once our food did arrive I had a guest complain that her chicken was raw and when we let the staff know the man in charge came to talk to us and he did not apologize but justified the raw chicken and how she wont get sick from it but they will cook it again just in case... We were understanding on this incident however by the end of the night when our bills came around my guests were furious because of the lack of service and food so I spoke to the waitress about it and she got the same man to come talk to us again. At this point he was beyond RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL, not only did he embarrass me in front of everyone by falsely accusing me of not preparing them for the large group of people, but he also claimed we were late and that he was not aware that we would be bringing in dessert since we didn't inform him, but the cake was sitting at their restaurant all day. We had the emails as proof for this man, but he was not willing to hear me out what so ever which is when a few of my guests stepped up to ask him to speak to me with respect as it was my birthday and I was only trying to make sure everyone was happy which they clearly were not because of unsatisfactory service and food and now this rude man. I will never recommend this place to anyone especially after how I was insulted I would like the management to look into this as I do have 15 people to back this story up. I am furious with this place and would appreciate an apology to me as well as my friends.
