Went for GFs birthday dinner. Prompt seating, restaurant looks amazing, all employees wearing masks, nice big clear dividers between tables , service was amazing, food was top notch. We were to full to try any dessert so I guess we will be returning lol
Perfect spot for an intimate dinner with great ambience. Food + service was fantastic.
A beautiful evening with wonderful food, absolutely recommend!
the food was *chefs kiss* and the service was great!!
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable.
Thank you to everyone at Bonterra
Excellent food. Good portions. Welcoming cheerful service. Covid 19 health measures well in place and adhered to. Always a great dining experience at Bonterra.
Delicious food and great service! Would definitely go back
Excellent service and menu with food cooked for taste and appearance. Truffle specials were fantastic.
One of our favorite downtown places to go for a meal or special occasion. Always spectacular!
Overall experience was good. Their service was excellent. However I may not go back because of the food. I found overall the food was quite salty. I have to say I am used to stronger taste food. But I still find every dish quite salty. Not bad, but consider there are many choice out there. I am not come back.
The food was not great for the price you pay, service was slow but the waitress was good. Overall I did not like this place.
We've enjoyed Bonterra a number of times over the years and has been one of our favourites. On our recent visit, our meals were great and were definitely up to our expectations. The service, however, was definitely lacking.
Awesome staff, the place is beautiful and the food is excellent, I will definitely be there again
Great food and service, as always. We really enjoyed the truffle feature items. Thank you.
Love bonterra. Server was so lovely and helpful. Truly passionate.
Ambiance and setting were excellent. Spacing excellent. Noise level excellent. Arctic char dish was smaller than hoped for. Fish serving was fine but the dish needed more vegetables. Pasta dish flavour was a bit flat.
The items we had on pop up brunch menu were delicious! Generously portioned and good value. Most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming to us as if we were guests at a special event.
Our server was amazing took the time to throughly for through the menu.
Service was slow and inattentive. One of our meals was just ok, but the other meal was fantastic.
food was fantastic.
the truffle special menu was culinary wonders.
Worse service have experienced. Waitress was rude. Chef was very not accommodating to dietary restrictions. Food was mediocre.
Fabulous Sunday "family style" dinner to help celebrate my retirement!
Food was amazing and so was service would deffenetly recommend 👌
It was my Mum’s birthday celebration and even without telling the staff we had a superb service. Food is fun as even the main course you can do as shareable. Gnocchi dish highly recommended!
The Ricotta Gnocchi was to die for, the ricotta on focaccia was to die for. Lovely atmosphere and top notch, down to earth service! The type of place you tell you friends about... or take them to!! We'll be back!
Had an awesome experience!! Definitely a place to check out if you’re looking for some Italian food.
The food was good however the portions are very small ( specially the main one). The waitress was not patience at all to our questions.
In general- we liked the place
We have been to Bonterra several times and this is probably our worst experience
1) The main chef wasnt in the house and this was reflected in the execution of the dishes
2) A glass of wine came with a rather larger "residue". We were just told it was a piece of cork. Ah...ok. Waitress didnt really want to change until we insisted.
3) 3 out 4 of us thought the mussels weren't fresh... At least one liked them. They weren't fresh... the worst mussels we have tried
4) Pasta weren't even close to traditional Italian pasta
Sorry for being negative but these are the plain facts
I rarely give bad reviews. But this is one of them
We chose Bonterra based on their menu. Unfortunately it had changed only 2 days earlier and I wasn’t overly impressed by the choices.
I don’t think that all of the restaurants at present are up to their usual standards. Maybe we caught them in a bad night.
Good food and service, good atmosphere, prices above average.
I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great atmosphere, fabulous food and great service.One of our favorite Calgary restaurants.
My favourite Italian place in Calgary thus far. We started with the calamari and I had the carbonara. So tasty and just the right portion size. Would eat there every time we get to go out 🤩
Amazing time, staff, and meal!
Food took forever and was over priced. Service was poor. Had to ask when our food was coming. Wont be going back
Outstanding. Everyone working showed true hospitality, from the second I walked in I felt taken care of. Our server was fantastic and guided us to a wine that was perfect with the food. The food was unavailable, it’s very clear that the chef loves what he does and is very passionate about Italian food.
Everyone needs to dine here.
Everything was really good and the gnocchi outstanding! Looking forward to returning in the future
All of our dishes were amazing - taste and plating. Our server was very knowledgeable about wine and food pairing. A great evening!
The food was absolutely delicious! I am still dreaming about the ricotta gnocchi and the chocolate cake. Our server was very accommodating and excellent with the service he gave us. Everything was on point and we will definitely be back soon :)
Service excellent. Fettuccine Carbonara was too heavily seasoned. Waitress took it back and returned with a new order which was perfect
Waited 20 minutes for bill and finally had to ask waiter
