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.

    We enjoyed a YYC food and wine experience dinner and it was delicious and an incredible value we hadn't tried this place before, so figured this was the perfect way to give it a try. Our serve Anton was wonderful, he provided plenty of advice about the menu and helped us with a wine choice. We sampled a couple reds, trying to find what we're looking for, but ended up choosing a Chablis instead. The reason my overall review was 4/5 was because the wine came at room temp. It took until almost desert for it to cool down. We didn't make a big deal about it because he had been so helpful trying to find us a good choice, but I have to say that paying 90+ $ for a bottle of warm wine was really disappointing. The food was excellent start to finish, we had the endive salad, we each tried one of the mains and then the two desert choices. All were really excellent. We added the veal meatballs just because we wanted some meat as well 10/10.

    Thank you for joining us for the YYC Food Experience and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your first visit with us, from the endive salad to the veal meatballs and desserts. It’s wonderful to know Anton’s guidance enhanced your evening; we’ll be sure to recognize him for his attentive service. We sincerely apologize for the oversight with the Chablis temperature; this isn’t the standard we aim for, and we appreciate your patience. Your note helps us improve, and we’ve already shared this with our team to ensure proper chilling protocols are reinforced. We look forward to welcoming you back for another impeccable experience very soon. Best regards, Bonterra Family
