Overall, Bello receives mixed but largely positive feedback for flavorful sandwiches and good coffee, with a warm atmosphere that many enjoy, though prices can feel high for what is offered. Coffee is a standout for cappuccino and espresso, while some notes mention milk texture issues like bubbly or burnt milk. The sandwich range is a highlight, featuring fresh Italian style options, smoked meat panini, Coppa and chicken sandwiches, and generous portions that can be shared; however, some reviews point out premade items and limited customization. Long lines reflect the place's popularity, and the decor and music are often described as welcoming. Service quality varies, with courteous and fast staff at times, and other occasions described as minimal or unfriendly. Bello is a convenient go to for a quick bite in Old Montreal, but the high price and inconsistent service mean it may not be everyone's first choice.View restaurant profile
