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.
Mon bar préféré du quartier avec une équipe en or! Service toujours chaleureux, je suis ravie d'y aller pour toutes les occasions. Les cocktails sont excellents!
Nous avons tenu un meeting d'affaires au Bar Bello & avons été très bien reçus. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné & l'endroit parfaitement adapté pour une rencontre professionnelle en toute convivialité. Merci à toute l'équipe !
Stopped in to have drinks to celebrate my fiancé's birthday & sat at the bar. Thank you to Ethan & his colleagues for the lovely drinks & for making the evening extra special.
We just stopped by on a whim & were extremely happy we did. Bar bello is great & welcoming with personnality & an attention to details that really makes the drinks stand out! Frozen glassware, precise pours, skillfull bartenders with a very nice vibe, italian classics with popping taste & even their own negroni distributor which is super cool. Can't wait to go back.
We went on a quiet evening, which was perfect for us as we got to talking to the Bartenders. Great atmosphere, very welcoming, & enjoyed our night out.
Came here with family & friends for a few drinks. It was our first time visiting Bar Bello & we enjoyed ourselves. The cocktails are pretty good although I did find one of them a little watered down however it was still okay.
The atmosphere was really nice! The DJ was playing classic 70s to 90s music all on what looked like original records which you can tell when hearing the vintage sound quality.

One of the best bars in Montreal, now with a new menu! I'm still to fully try the new menu but in the 6M+ of coming to Bar Bello, there isn't a drink or taste their mixologists can't make!
Their staff is lovely, creative & knowledgeable on their alcohols & crafting the perfect cocktail. Note their happy hour from 4-7PM everyday for classic aperitivos
Très joli bar dans le quartier Italien de Montréal. Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse de notre serveuse & avons passé un très bon moment en famille/amis.
Le Bar Bello est une fantastique addition à cette section du boul. St-Laurent dans la Petite Italie. Ouvert depuis un (1) an, la décoration nous transporte dans un endroit similaire de Milan ou Rome, l'espace d'un instant. Superbe sélection de Negronis ou de variantes de Negroni, l'exécution des cocktails est impeccable grâce surtout à une savante sélection d'alcools de qualité supérieure, certains en importation privée (dont de superbes vermouths). J'adore le clin d'oeil au personnel de bar en Italie des années 50s avec leurs sarraus blancs, ça fait très professionnel, ça prend des idiots pour confondre avec un sarrau de laboratoire scientifique. Lors de notre visite, on a fait le tour des Negronis, le classique était le meilleur, mais nos 4 cocktails étaient tous excellents & minutieusement exécuté (bravo 👏). Les prix sont élevés ($18 par cocktail) mais la qualité est supérieure également, le ratio qualité/prix est respecté. En terminant, j'ai rarement été aussi enchanté d'aller aux toilettes, le decoration détonne avec le reste de la décoration mais c'est une belle interruption visuelle. Fortement recommandé. P.S.: svp laisser un ❤️ si ce review a été utile à faire vos choix, merci 🙏
