Bellucci Italia is a vibrant Italian restaurant located in the heart of "quartier des spectacles” in downtown Montreal, Quebec. Authentic pizza, fresh pasta with fine wines, and cocktails.
Bellucci Italia receives praise for authentic Italian cooking, with standout wood fired pizzas, fresh pastas, and desserts that many describe as exceptional. The atmosphere is described as cozy and elegant, with large windows and a lively vibe that makes it a good spot for dates or groups. Service is frequently highlighted as friendly and attentive, though a few visits report slow, uneven service and crowded, tightly spaced tables during peak times. While prices are often noted as high, the overall quality, ingredients and execution are seen as worth the splurge by many guests. The wine list and cocktails are a plus, complemented by flexible accommodations for families and large parties. Some diners note occasional dish issues such as over-salted sauces or inconsistent pasta, but these concerns are the exception rather than the rule. Overall, Bellucci Italia is regarded as one of Montreal's notable Italian options, delivering strong flavors, welcoming hospitality and a memorable dining experience that invites return visits, especially when reservations are secured for busy periods.
To be honest one of the best places I have been. I went to Bellucci for the Valentine's Day .when the other restaurant that I reservation with changed their menu & called me on feb 7th. Thanks to Bellucci I got a reservation for 14th & had a great night with amazing pasta & lasagna !
We have been living in Montreal for over a year & walk by this place at least two or three times a week. OMG I wish we had tried it sooner!! The food took us right back to Italy ( we just spent three months there) I had the stuffed ravioli & frankly I wanted to lick the plate. My hubbys pasta with truffles was also outstanding. Now dessert…. We have had tiramisu all across Italy, 14 places to be exact & this one held its own 100% as one of the best. Service was lovely even tho they were busy on NYE. Sorry for the empty tiramisu bowl but we could not stop to take a photo lol. We can't wait to visit again!

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.
Pizza was good, pastas were all average at best. We've been to Italy 3 times & many good Italian restaurants. This was not good enough for $30 range pastas.
Exceptional staff, helpful & friendly. My wife loved her Veau Citron & my pasta bolognese was very flavorful. Nice sunny location; a place to come back to.

This restaurant is located in a nice spot. The large windows give a nice view of the street where the entertainment & views of the city are neverending. Interior is nice with comfortable seating.
Staff seems too comfortable & not serious. When we ordered, there was barely any acknowledgement from the waiter. Could've been ordering from an iPad & would've had the same customer service.
For an Italian restaurant, the pastas were extremely disappointing. Extremely too salty. To the point that our friend who is notorious for always adding salt to food even said it was too salty for them. We didn't even get through half our plate. The carbonara is nauseating, way too heavy. Realizing that we didn't get any of the complementary bread on the table & also wanting to try another dish to maybe give the restaurant a second chance, we try to get our waiter's attention. That was difficult because the staff was having a fun moment behind the bar. Other staff noticed us & didn't even try to direct our waiters attention to us. Very unprofessional.
Finally we order a pizza to see if the rest of the menu is edible. They have a fire oven which is always a plus for me. The margarita comes to our tables & is quite frankly a bit disappointing. Taste is ok, undercarriage is barely crisp & size is smaller then I thought.
I will not be returning & would not recommend this place for a few reasons. 1. Food is disappointing especially for the price point. 2. Staff is unprofessional & doesn't care. 3. Felt like we were bothering the staff from start to finish. 4. Feels like a tourist trap. 5. Seems that tables ordering alcoholic beverages get more service. Of course when you're tipsy all food tastes good.
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.
Just mediocre at best. Pasta swimming in sauce, sauces not refined, not good value. service was polite & professional. This is not great Italian, it is mediocre
Ciao Bellucci! 🇮🇹
The food? Bellissimo! 😍
Started with Supplì & bruschetta-honestly, the best bruschetta I've had outside of Italy! 🔥
The pasta literally melted in my mouth 🍝, & the pizza had me dreaming of Rome all over again.
& the tiramisu? Ooh my goodness! Pure heaven. 🙌
Thank you, Bellucci, for bringing a little piece of Italy to my plate. I'll be back! 💯🍕🇮🇹

Bel locale e buon servizio ma vi prego non dite cucina italiana. Scaloppine di carne servite con spaghetti bolliti di contorno veramente il peggio del peggio. Le cameriere che propongono il parmigiano ovunque anche sulla pasta con l astice! Vi prego rispettate la cucina italiana non usatela come specchietto per le allodole. Le persone devono essere educate alla buona cucina non ingannate facendogli credere che italiano vuol dire spaghetti pizza parmigiano usati con una modalità che con l Italia non ha niente a che fare!!!!!!!!
Our family had an incredible dining experience at Bellucci Italia during our trip in Montreal from Chicago. From the moment my wife & I walked in with our three daughters, we felt welcomed into a warm & inviting atmosphere. The food was exceptional - the lasagna was rich & flavorful, the pasta dishes were perfectly fresh, & the octopus was tender & beautifully seasoned. The pizza, with its crispy crust & vibrant toppings, was a family favorite. We ended with pistachio tiramisu & hazelnut mouser, both of which were absolutely divine. The staff especially Claudio & Mariam were attentive & made sure everyone, including our teens, felt taken care of. Bellucci Italia gave us an evening full of delicious food & wonderful memories. We can't wait to return!

Absolutely phenomenal experience at this Italian gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance transported us straight to the heart of Italy. The staff was welcoming & attentive, & the service was seamless. Now, let's talk about the food-wow! Marco, the pizza chef, is a true artist. The wood-fired pizzas were beyond perfection: a crispy, slightly charred crust with the perfect balance of flavors. You can tell Marco pours his heart into every pizza he creates. We also indulged in their handmade pasta, which was perfectly al dente, & the tiramisu was the ideal ending to an unforgettable meal. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine & the best pizza in town, this is the place to be. Bravo to Marco & the entire team! We'll definitely be back.
Visited with a relatively large group (14 adults plus 3 children) for an end of year celebration. Service was excellent & whether it was pizza or pasta or cocktails, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There were some hiccups getting everyone served at the same time, & even more snags/delays with accurate bills & everyone being able to pay when ready to leave. However, overall it was still an enjoyable experience for everyone.
Great Food, Real Italian Al Dente Pasta, The Tiramisu is Unbelievable, Great Waitress & Bartenders. Superb Wine List. Well Beyond Expectations !!! I Loved it !!!
