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.
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 !
Perfection as always. I appreciate Remy & the team, their willingness to pivot, be flexible & accommodating. Doing it all with a smile. True hosts who take pride & appreciation for what they do, the abilities they have to impact the lives of those the interact with. Impressive all of the time, 100% of the time
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!
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.

Lovely little place located in the heart of montreal - we got lucky to find a table during Christmas market hours - food was delicious & the service was great! Staff was super welcoming as well! Highly recommend this place !
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.

This restaurant is in a great spot. The large windows offer a beautiful view of the street, with nonstop activity & city scenery. The interior is gorgeous, with comfortable seating & a warm atmosphere. The entrance is a bit unusual since it's on the left & almost feels like a separate building, but once inside, everything looks amazing.
The staff was friendly & welcoming. The food was alright-tasty, but a bit more expensive compared to other Italian restaurants in the area. Still, it's worth trying at least once if you enjoy discovering new places.
Riz & saumon, le riz semblait de 2 à 3 jours & froid, j'ai juste mangé le saumon & j'ai dû me forcer. Pas de pain, ni huile d'olive ni sel poivre. La pire expérience en restau de ma vie.
Restaurante italiano bem localizado em Montreal, o ambiente é realmente muito bonito, aconchegante e com vista belíssima de uma das ruas mais movimentadas da cidade.
A comida estava boa. Mas, o atendimento fois bem demorado desde a recepçao até a retirada do pedido. A cozinha fois rápida.
