We went to Bellucci for a drink, we were happily surprised by there Old Fashioned, likely one of our favorite one around Place des Arts neighborhood. I'm sad to see the menu had next to no vegan options, else than maybe an order of fries.
Great location: perfect right before a show.
Quite noisy when full.
Service isn't at it's best. Wrong drink, meat had to be recooked (blue instead of medium rare).
Food is more commercial than refined.
Prices are decent.
Service was long. 4 ppl =2 hrs
We had to ask for the bill twice explaining we had a show scheduled.
Food was ok, really on the average mark & the drinks were pretty bad. I don't recommend going, but if you do, stay away from their cocktail menu.
Service was ok.
Feels like a tourist trap, you can definitely find better places to eat around the area

Merci bcp à notre serveuse Imane, la barback Cleo & la manager pour cette formidable soirée, je recommande 1000%, drink excellent, nourriture exceptionnelle, bref un endroit à reteni
Location is excellent & good vibe, clean, etc. however don't expect 5 star cuisine. For a restaurant in the middle of Place des arts where there is a lot of tourist trap, it's decently good.
Food was decent mainly comprised of pastas & pizzas. It's good for big groups as well. Staff was nice.
Burrata came with just plain raw uncut tomatoes. Small piece & not much flavor. Pasta was otherwise OK, perhaps a bit salty. Good portion size & selection of wine/drinks.
Not cheap but one dish makes you full & the location is just central in middle of Place des arts.
After 15 days traveling through Canada, I chose Montreal to celebrate my birthday today, December 5th, & I chose the Bellucci restaurant as the place to celebrate this special day. However, it was the worst place anyone could have chosen. It all started from the moment we stepped into the restaurant; the service was terrible. The waitress, Elisa, was extremely rude, wanting us to choose our order immediately, not giving us time to think or appreciate the menu & the atmosphere. This happened three times; she always seemed to be in a hurry for us to order our food & leave quickly. Extremely rude, she served us with a disdainful look, & answered everything we asked rudely. The order arrived, & it seemed like we had to finish quickly, as she kept asking if we were done. Many other things happened; for example, when we asked about drinks, she asked why we hadn't ordered them beforehand, even though we hadn't had time to order them at the beginning. We couldn't even order dessert because we were afraid to stay any longer. The food is very good, the place is beautiful, but unfortunately the service is terrible.
Just had an amazing meal & the food was absolutely delicious! 😋 Seriously, every bite was a flavor explosion. To top it off, their drinks were out of this world - so creative & refreshing! 🍹 I'm already planning my next visit to try more of their fantastic menu. If you're looking for a top-notch dining experience, you have to check this place out! Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Foodie #GreatDrinks #MustTry #DiningOut
THE BEST Italian restaurant in Montreal. My partner & I will travel from Ottawa to book a hotel close by just to have amazing food & drinks at this special restaurant that I keep dear to my heart. Bravo to the team. We will always come here if we visit Montreal.
Undercooked cannelloni in the cannelloni al funghi. Not enough cream sauce to finish steaming the fresh pasta during cooking. Cream sauce was very bland with next to no salt, & I found the scallions to be a weird flavour addition, which were also cut extremely non-uniform($38 pasta dish btw). I got fussiloni alla bolognese & the sauce was killed by too much Parmesan & red wine. The flavours fought each other through each bite. I also had a singular bruised basil leaf on my dish. $120 before taxes as we also got a pizza, but didn't get offered the complimentary bread for tables, or drink refills. Didn't order alcohol or dessert as the large table behind us got more attention as we sat waiting for the cheque.
Good Italian restaurant in the heart of Quartier des spectacles. Good: food, atmosphere, drinks. Nice terrace too!
I really enjoyed cutting my burrata pizza with scissors!
