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.

Review summary

Bonterra Trattoria impresses with "impeccable service" and "delicious food" in a "beautiful restaurant" setting. Renowned for its charming patio, it offers standout dishes like carbonara and calamari. Although some experienced rushed service, the ambiance and attentive staff, including Shane and Scott, contribute to memorable dining experiences.

    The dinner was great overall. Food was terrific! I don't like the upper level dining area. Lacks the appeal of the main floor. Not laid out very well since we were interrupted during out meal so a waitress could access the locked wine rack on the wall. Quite annoying. Service was quite good but could be more attentive. I think we might have got caught in a shift change. Servers were really nice and welcoming.
    Bonterra TrattoriaResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Jake, Thank you for the great review and feedback. I have taken your words to heart and we have shifted the dining on the upper level so as not to disturb any guests to get to the wine rack :) I have shared your feedback with the server you had and the rest of the team. I appreciate your review very much and hope we get to welcome you back again soon. Kindest regards, Lisa Kulyk General Manager

    We haven't dined at Bonterra’s in a long time. The food was excellent. We shared calamari, fennel salad, lasagna, and veal meatballs. We both started with a cocktail, which was tasty. The bartender knows how to mix a great drink. We ordered focaccia bread, which was never delivered, and when we got home, we realized that we had been charged for it. We will go back in the future.
    Bonterra TrattoriaResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Sharron, Thank you for dining with us and for sharing your feedback. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the calamari, fennel salad, lasagna, veal meatballs, and cocktails, it sounds like a delicious meal. We sincerely apologize for the oversight with the focaccia bread and the charge. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll address this with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We’d love to make it up to you on your next visit, please reach out to us directly at lisa.k@bonterra.ca so we can make things right. We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best regards, Bonterra Family

    Last night my wife and I went for Date Night. The set cold and hot appetizers and tray of desserts were great and the menu items of mushroom risotto and braised ribs were tasty and a good size. Tatyana served us and was thoughtful and timely. Thanks Bonterra
