Across the reviews, Bello is seen as a neighborhood find with delicious Italian inspired sandwiches, notably standout paninis and a good coffee scene, wrapped in a warm, welcoming space that many describe as charming. The food is frequently praised for freshness and rich flavors, with some noting the bread and meats as particularly good, and there is broad enthusiasm for the variety of breakfast and lunch options. Service is praised for friendliness and efficiency at times, but several reviews mention inconsistency, with some staff being rude or distracted and others attentive, especially during busy periods; some guests also mention that the sandwiches are premade and customization is limited, and that prices can be high for what is offered. While the overall experience is positive and Bello stands out in Old Montreal for quality and ambiance, a few visits left diners disappointed due to mismatched expectations on service and value.
Really nice Italian lady (she told me😃) there was so patient. I asked her what's her favorite sandwich. Let me tell ya... the steak did not disappoint. I placed it to go. All I wanted to do was taste it. 15 mins later it was all gone. I added peppers 🌶️ to mine. Thx for your hospitality & awesome sandwich & suggestions. I'll be sure to bring friends
Literally my favorite lunch or brunch spot ever. Also they make the best coffee I've ever had. The Italian sausage sandwich is unreal. & the daily salads are always out of this world delicious. I can't say enough about how amazing & kind the staff are & you really feel like family whenever you visit. Love this place ! Recommend to everyone 🩷
I had the roasted veggie & goat cheese sandwich on olive bread. I liked the fact that the veggies inside were out of the ordinary for this type of sandwich. Normally it would be a bunch of grilled peppers, but this one had sweet potato, broccoli, cauliflower & green beans. It was pretty good.
Tried the polpetta sandwich & it was ok. The bread was soggy & the sandwich overall lacked flavour. Typically good Italian sandwiches are very tasty & this wasn't it. Cesar salad also soggy & very over dressed. Cafe crema was nice. Overall, a mediocre experience. Service was efficient & quick.
One of the best sandwich shops I've ever been to! The staff was very patient with me about choosing the right sandwich. I ended up with the turkey panino, which was absolutely delicious. My friend had a spicy Italian sausage sandwich & he loved it.
The place is really nice , with wide selctuon of sandwiches & brunch options. We tried the prosciutto di parma , & the sandwich was really good, especially the bread
Beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup : trop cher. Prévoyez entre 15 & 20$ pour un sandwich qui pourra peut être service d'en-cas. C'est pas mauvais, c'est pas incroyable, c'est surtout cher. C'est pas bello bello, mais plutôt expensivo expensivo. Le service est bon, je recommande le service.

Top spot for sandwichs in the old port no contest. their sandwichs selection is top tier. Freshly cut meats & veggies right in front of you, freshly made bread & the taste is to die for.
We found Bellos walking around downtown Montreal. It was a line out the door at lunchtime, so we knew it must be good. It was lovely, fresh & so many options. We split an Egg Salad Sandwich & a lovely Gnocchi dish. Perfect for a cold day.
2024: sweet potato green bean salad is delicious. Steak sandwich was good. Efficient service. 2019: Very pleasant service but overall the food is very overrated.
Cute little Italian sandwich shop in the old port of Montreal 🇮🇹🥪 // Service was quick & staff were polite, however for just two sandwiches our total came to $32 after tax... which is nutty! I don't care how the good the sandwiches are - unless they're wrapped in gold, that price feels like a rip 🙄😒
Yummy Italian sandwich in Old port with many menu options. We got 2 sandwich combos for lunch which comes with a salad of choice & a select drink. The sandwiches are very good & range from $13-16 for just the sandwich. The combo is $21 before tax & tip - the end cost was around $26 which I think its overpriced for what you are getting. We dined in & there were a lot of flies around the table while we ate which ruined the atmosphere a bit. Overall, it is a good Italian sandwich shop that I would visit again (just for sandwich) when in Old port, however I have other Italian sandwich shops I prefer in other areas of Montreal. The staff were friendly & the cafe is nicely located near the canal.
Italian, & it’s great. I found my go-to coffee shop for breakfast/snacks next door! They have everything to make it a habit: very good food & great customer care.😊

Breakfast: pear nectar, ham & egg croissant, marbled quarter Nutella cake 🍰
Sabrina I want to thank you for this morning small talk & warm welcome. You made my day a little much better 😉
…also your sandwich was perfect & the cake was unbelievably moist. I’m pleased!�
