About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Italy is a country of breathtaking beauty - both the land and the people. It is this beauty that is the inspiration for Bonterra, a lively and spirited Italian Trattoria.

Chef Michael Preston 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 Italian way of life.

PARKING: Complimentary three hour parking is available in the Indigo lot located behind the restaurant. Entrance to the lot is on 10th Ave SW, across from MEC. Come inside via the back entrance, and register your license plate on the Indigo tablet inside, found in front of the hostess stand.

    Overall, we left Bonterra feeling "meh". We had made reservations for a date night, and the reservation notes were very clear about your maximum booking time. When we arrived, our table wasn't ready and we were seated on the patio. It was windy and the furniture was extremely dirty. They assured us the table would be ready soon, but we were outside for an hour. We had our first course and some drinks sitting outside, and it was fine. Our server, George was the main reason we had a great time. He was a riot, super fun to talk to, and treated us amazingly. Get that man a raise! Once seated inside, for our main course and dessert, the ambiance was great. The food was just fine. The portions were very small and the risotto was undercooked. All in all, we'd probably go back for the date night deal and the half price wine, but mostly to see George.
