Bar Bello feels like an upbeat Italian neighborhood spot with a warm vibe and a standout cocktail program, offering a refreshed menu with appealing bites like a mortadella hot dog, a memorable Negroni and a wide Amaro selection guided by friendly, knowledgeable staff; the bar consistently delivers good service and a lively atmosphere, though a few visits note occasional inattentiveness or slower pacing at busy times; live music, tasteful decor and a cozy bar area contribute to the overall experience, and guests frequently highlight the friendliness of the team, the quality of the drinks, and the welcoming, easygoing vibe.
Belle salle à manger, nous sommes venus un mardi & le bar était calme, c'était l'ambiance qu'on recherchait. Les cocktails étaient très bons! Nous voulions en commander d'autres, mais le serveur n'est jamais revenu nous voir, malgré que le bar n'était pas achalandé . Nous avons attendu 30min avec nos verres vides, puis finalement nous sommes partis.
We stopped into Bar Bello on a whim & it ended up being one of our favorite stops of the trip. From the moment we walked in, we were loudly greeted, the energy was high, the music was great, & the overall vibe was just fun.
The drinks are super interesting & creative, which made it fun to try things we normally wouldn't order. Our bartender, Moreno, went above & beyond. He celebrated our recent engagement with us & even gave us his personal list of recommendations around Montreal.
We were so glad we stumbled in & will absolutely be back next time we're in the city.
Very pleasant staff! Great drinks & atmosphere. From the music to the decor & lighting, we were very happy with our choice!!! Also photo was taken around 4:30pm, but I have no doubt it'll get packed
The best Italian neighborhood bar in the city! Just The Negroni machine is worth the trip to Little Italy. Some of the friendliest staff in the city with a passion for cocktails & aperitivos! The largest selection of Amaro in the city & a knowledgeable staff to guide through it all!
2026: service was much better this time, our female server was super attentive. I enjoyed the Liguria-inspired coffee cocktail.
2025: Live music & decor were fun.
Had the Ossiola sour (nicely presented) & the Tiramisu cocktail. Both were alright.
Service was friendly but inattentive, we sat down & no one would look our way for twenty minutes so we went up to the bar. If it's just that type of place, just let people know when they come in. Once we ordered, we got our drinks at the table within good time.
