   Disappointed in the menu. Plenty of places that will give you better value for your money. It’s highly crowded and uncomfortable.

    Delicious authentic Italian food. Carbonera is amazing and love the selection of wine. The patio is like a mini vacation in Italy. Highly recommend for the experience even though it is expensive.

    Authentic italian restaurant with lots of options. Celebrated our first anniversary and the lunch menu was amazing. The outdoor patio felt very relaxing with lots of trees and plants surrounding the patio. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid back quiet lunch or dinner spot.

    Great food, pricey and smaller portions. The ambiance is hampered by the size of the tables. We were a party of 4 and could hardly fit our dinner plates on the table, leaving zero room for sides. It was incredible crowded.

    Disappointed- one of our party had chicken that was undercooked- and there was no real attempt at fixing it or compensation (i.e a fee dessert for the person in question)- was surprised that it was taken so lightly- undercooked poultry is no joke

    Thoroughly enjoyed the patio experience even with a rain storm we were well protected from the elements! Kind and attentive service. Four course tasting menu option which was reasonably priced. Great parking behind the restaurant. We will definitely go back again real soon.

    Hadn't been in years and as I soon as we walked in, I wondered why we waited so long to return. We were met with simple elegance of sparkling glasses on wooden tables, high ceilings, etc., and were seated on the beat patio in the city. Food was terrific!

    It used to be my favorite restaurant. We took some friends over cause I told them I loved this place. This time I could not be more disappointed with the food and service. The appetizers were good but the mains had very little taste. From the gnocchi, to the bolognese pasta and the risotto. It took us 30 minutes to get our drinks. The server didn’t come check on the food until the whole table was almost done. (And unfortunately it was not good, but too late to tell). The patio is really nice and has a good atmosphere but we won’t be going back once the food and service was not worth it.

    We went to Bonterra for my husband’s birthday because of the overwhelming positive reviews online, much to our dismay, however, our experience was highly disappointing. We ordered the focaccia bread to start which was probably the one of the only good things we had that night. Both my husband and I ordered the Linguine alle vongole which is by far the blandest, sorriest excuse for a pasta we’ve ever had in our entire lives. The description fails to say that it is broth based pasta (in plain English- it’s water). They served us boiled pasta with water and clams and a mystery sausage that tasted like rubber for $30 a plate. Yup- they really have the sheer gall to charge that much for this. The tiramisu was the saving grace of the meal. Now regarding the service- our server tried to peddle the most expensive dishes on the menu to us when we asked for recommendations. Also somehow everything on the menu was her favorite. Every time we ordered something apparently she was obsessed with it- which we found really disingenuous. She also brought us dirty cutlery, only refilled our water when I pointedly started at the empty jar when she came by to ask how everything was tasting. And when we told her we hated the pasta said absolutely nothing to the manager, who was awol. Needless to say we are never coming back and won’t be recommending this place to anyone.

    My friend and I started with the bruscetta and split the mushroom risotto for lunch. So delicious! One of the best I've had! It even had bits of asparagus in it! Nice touch! We had a couple of monitors...also outstanding! Our server was very attentive without being annoying! Love the patio on the summer! Can't believe it's in downtown Calgary. Highly recommend!!
