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.
J'ai été à souper après le salon des vins d'Italie avec des collègues & l'export manager d'un domaine viticole italien. Le restaurant se trouve à l'intérieur du complexe Desjardins. Le chef est un italian (un vrai authentique, né & grandi en Italie). Les plats étaient succulents, bien préparés, avec l'accent sur les ingrédients. Les gnocchi aux champignons avec les cèpes étaient incroyables. Tout était soigné dans le détail. Une place à retenir. J'ai oublié de photographier le plat à base de joue de boeuf, mais croyez moi, c'était une tuerie 😍
C'était notre première fois & nous avons adoré ! Très bien situé, la nourriture était super bonne & nous avons eu un excellent service de Cloé ! Nous retournerons assurément !

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.
The entrance door is on the left, almost like a different building. The restaurant looks gorgous! The staff was nice aswell. The food was amazing, more expensive than other italian restaurants but worth it nevertheless. Highly recommended
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.
Tres bel endroit, personnel tres dévoué & cuisine excellente..Tout vitré plus terrace, vue sur le quartier des spectacles..Prix raisonnable pour le centre-ville.
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.

One of the best places I've visited when it comes to service,so friendly & helpful as he had the patience of explaining most of the dishes, so friendly & the food was exceptional too.Loved the touch of French accent ❤?
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.
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.
Food was terrific. Eliza was an attentive server. The only reason I didn't care for the atmosphere was it was brutally noisy due to it being busy & the acoustical nature of the high-ceiling room. So, great dinner out but maybe not for whispering sweet nothings on a date night.
