This place is a total winner, the food is insanely good, and the vibe is just perfect for a laid-back hangout with friends. Plus, their menu? It's so inviting, you'll want to try everything!

I guess this is good Italian?Not very impressed with $30 spaghetti and red sauce.They were offering a sample menu of their new opening restaurant in Banff….the Heavy Pig of something. So I tried the Osso Buco. Worst one I have ever had. Tender yes, any flavor to impart, no.The Mussels were great, the Calamari salad was great…..the rest was bland and expensive.Wish we would have went to Pizza next door.

Went there for lunch and overall not too shabby. The carbonara pasta was a bit over cooked, but the rest of the food was decent. The service was a bit slow since they had one person working all the tables. The bread is a must try. Will definitely try again for casual lunch.

Let me be the first to tell you that the focaccia is not “just bread” that stuff is crack it’s so good. Insane crust and saltiness.Carbonara was great, very heavy! we had 2 come to the table and one was steaming hot, one was window hot. All good!Im clinically insane but the arancini had a fishy taste, still a banger though.Server was solid, would like to hear more variety in responses so that it feels more genuine.

I took my Son for his birthday to Bonterra as I had heard great things about this restaurant. First of all I have to say how great the hostess/manager was as she made the evening memorable. She knew it was my Son’s birthday and when he got there she brought Prosecco for us to start our celebration. She also came a few times to our table. Honestly if it wasn’t for her our evening would have been worse.I ordered the pomodero and asked if they could add meatballs. The rest of the table ordered arctic char.Our food took incredibly long to get to the table and our waiter barely came around.Even when asked for the bill it took him .15 minutes to arrive and he also gave me the wrong bill. Once I asked for my bill it took him about 10 more minutes. He barely even smiled when he came to our table.My Son and his Mom who ate the arctic char said it was good but my dish was lukewarm and the meatballs were overdone.At the end of the day… must have been an off night, the restaurant was quite full and the ambiance was great.Once again I sincerely want to thank the Lady who real made my Son feel great for his bday.

A beautiful dining experience with tastes unique and memorable, in a venue that oozes with ambiance. Service leaves nothing wanting, from first contact at the hostess desk, through wine pairing advice while ordering, and attentive but unobtrusive check-ins by different members of the house staff throughout.Parking: Parking is available behind the restaurant, in a metered lot, but Bonterra will comp three hours for your visit. Do not pay for parking at the lot pay station. Go inside and register for the "free" option at their check-in desk.

Lovely place filled with warm & friendly staff+ delicious food. Had a family gathering & we were well taken care of by the host. Cabonera was so creamy & one of the best Italian dishes i have tasted. Good selection of wine as well. However, kid friendly food & drink options seemed very limited. That's why only 4 stars from me.Parking: Free for customers
