La Bella Italiana is one of those rare gifts to come across. We were in Montreal for a visit & just happened upon it. It was full, but we were welcomed in by Sara. She sat us at the bar & through her we received the best service we've ever had at a restaurant. Ever. She personally guided us through the menu & created an experience. The food was simply incredible. The staff caring & passionate. The atmosphere in the restaurant was a family friendly vibrancy. To sit & watch laughter & connection was pure inspiration. This is a place we will come back to over again. Just perfect.

Nous avons passé une soirée absolument extraordinaire au restaurant La Bella Italiana à Saint-Léonard!
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été charmés par l'ambiance chaleureuse & l'accueil attentionné. Le service a été au-delà de nos attentes : professionnel, attentionné & sincèrement sympathique du début à la fin.
La nourriture? Tout simplement incroyable. Chaque plat était savoureux, parfaitement exécuté & préparé avec des ingrédients de grande qualité. On sent la passion dans chaque bouchée! Les portions sont généreuses & le rapport qualité-prix est plus que raisonnable.
Un merci tout spécial au propriétaire qui nous a accompagnés tout au long de la soirée. Sa présence, ses anecdotes & sa gentillesse ont rendu l'expérience encore plus mémorable. On s'est sentis comme des invités privilégiés plutôt que de simples clients.
Nous venons de l'extérieur de Montréal, & c'est certain à 100 % que nous allons y retourner - & surtout recommander La Bella Italiana à tous nos amis & à notre entourage.
Une adresse incontournable!
Fresh, authentic, delicious, comforting Italian food. I couldn't stop eating even though I was full. We ordered the italian sausage & calamari for starters. Both starters were great, the sausage had roasted garlic on it to hit the spot & the calamari batter was perfect. For maincourse I got the calabrese pizza & let me tell you it was the softest & freshest dough, perfectly cooked in the firewood oven. The nduja on the pizza was marvellous if you like a bit of a spice. My friend ordered the carbonara linguini that she absolutely loved as the sauce was so creamy & smooth. Finally we ended with hazelnut gelato & affogato. If you love gelato & espresso, have their affogato for a perfect finish to the meal. Their gelato selection is limited but sooo good!! Definitely recommend & would be returning back!!
Had a early dinner for Valentines day as a trial to our engagement party we will have there. Amazing food, service was impeccable by Sarah, we are so excited to come again with our group. They are so flexible with options & listen to all your questions. We have no complaints only praises!
