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.
What a great experience. Excellent service, delicious food & a wonderful atmosphere. We were a group of 4 people & we ordered caprese con burrata, 2 pizzas, lasagna & veal with lemon. Every dish was awesome & we loved it. The dessert was delicious too. We had wine & tiramisu martini & both were great choices. The manager himself was helping around & making sure everyone was happy. Definitely going back there whenever we go to Montreal!
Chef Marco & his stuff knows how to work.A great lunch with an amazing Neapolitan style pizza . The dough is amazing & the pizza very light . The quality of the ingredients makes a plus . Well done
Un carré de pizza & des frites façon euro bien préparés. Un très bon service. Il manquait de fromage & c est beaucoup de pâtes. Bien sûr!. De temps en temps... Félicitations, j ai adoré.
I went there on the New Year's Eve & all I can say that it was amazing as every time ! It is one of my favourite Italian restaurants in the city! & the food is amazing! The girls at the bar are so good & the owner is very kind ! Besides that their pizza is just wow !

Bellucci Italia is conveniently located next door to the DoubleTree by Hilton, which makes it extremely practical in winter as you don't need to step outside into the cold.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. We arrived around 8:50pm & were turned away by the hostess, Anna, who told us the restaurant was fully booked & closing at 9:30pm. This was confusing, as there were visibly empty tables. When I later checked OpenTable, I saw reservations were still available until 9:30pm. After returning & pointing this out, her behaviour suddenly changed & we were immediately seated, followed by several other walk-ins with no bookings. This interaction felt unprofessional & left a poor first impression.
The food itself was mixed. The pizza was good & the wine was enjoyable. Our daughter's carbonara, while slightly discounted, was quite dry & underwhelming. Service throughout the meal was very slow, likely due to understaffing, which further affected the experience.
While the location is excellent, the front-of-house experience & slow service mean we wouldn't return. First impressions matter, & unfortunately this one overshadowed what could have been a much better visit.
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.
La cucina non è male. Si mangia una buona pizza e anche i secondi sono buoni. Ho provato il salmone. Il servizio al bar lascia molto a desiderare. Mi hanno portato alla fine del pasto il pane che avevo richiesto all'inizio della cena e la persona al bancone si è occupata principalmente di pulire il bancone mentre mangiavamo. Compreso il passaggio di spray disinfettante. Faccio presente che erano le 20.00 e non un orario in chiusura. Veramente irrispettoso per i clienti che stavano cenando.
Dont let it being by the mall fool you, its a very decent Italian Restaurant. We had Gnocchi & Belluci Pizza it was very delicious. Little light alcohol on the cocktails but generally a good place
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.
Service & location are good, it's pricey & that's ok for a pretentious place, but food, that should the most important part in the restaurant, was very low level. My pizza was burned, like totally black (I'm Italian, I know what I mean). My wife took salmon with veggies, was very greasy & full of oil.
Last week I went to this restaurant , one of the best pizzas in Montreal but the service wasn't good. The waitress we're to busy talking to each other loudly, eating & for get them attention was very difficult. The restaurant was not crowded at that time , & they seemed not to carry with the clients. The restaurant offer you a good vibe, good music & the food is fabulous, the only problem it's really the bad table service, & very slow.
Je n'ai pas peur de le dire mais c'est le meilleure restaurant italien de Montréal. Nous avons pris 4 pizzas très différentes & toutes si délicieuses les une que les autres. La pâte est excellent ainsi que la qualité des produits. Les serveurs aussi gentils que bien habillés, vous propose de mettre un excellent parmesan gratuitement. Le cadre est également très agréable avec une parfaite localisation ainsi qu'une décoration extérieure & intérieur choisie avec beaucoup de goût.
Je vous accorde que ce ne sont pas les pizzas les moins chers mais le qualité prix reste excellent.
