July 2026: great cocktails still, friendly service, still Piedmont.
Came here again for a Negroni event & it was perfect. Stayed for drinks from the Piedmont menu, & snacks, everything was good.
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.

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

Very nice place with good drinks. Even if not packed, service was a the slow side. Music inside was too loud for the number of attendees

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.

So far, my favorite place for getting a Negroni in Montreal! Amazing real Italian atmosphere that makes me feel like I am in Rome! A bar with Italian music & lots of good cocktails... It is so special that you can see some God images here & there ....Italian! Try the Negroni machine! Fantasticò!

The cocktails we tried were wonderfully balanced. The scenery & vibe was nice. I would recommend the Ossola Sour & appreciate the vinyl DJ that was playing music.

Love this place! This is a really nice bar in the heart of Little Italy to have an aperitivo or cocktail before dinner or a nice digestivo after dinner. The music is loungy but not loud enough to drown a conversation. Great location for a couple, a first date, friends to meet & enjoy a few drinks. The bartenders are absolutely fantastic - Ask for Nyzar or Kevin & let them create a libation based on your personal taste & preferences ... I don't even bother ordering my drinks anymore; I just tell them make me something good & they never disappoint!
