La Bella Italiana is a true gem in Montreal - offering authentic Italian cuisine, warm hospitality, & elegant ambiance. Their wood oven pizza is simply the best in the entire city - perfectly crisp, richly flavorful, & unmistakably Italian. A must-visit for lovers of la dolce vita.View more

Excellent service client très aimable & viens nous voir souvent pour s'assurer que tout est bon malgré le restaurent plein à craquer un 18h un vendredi soir.
Les gnocchis sont délicieux 😋 je recommande totalement! La pizza était malheureusement décevante & soggy (mouillé en dessous) même si j'ai lu de bon review (d'où la déception). Sangria rouge très bonne avec beaucoup de vin🍷.
Je vais définitivement revenir & essayer davantage de pâtes. Je vais update!View more

In St Leonard ,Montreal.
Happened here by chance with friends who recommended La Bella Italienne.
The food is awesome,
to start we ordered the Arugula & Parmesan salad , one of the best we've had in Montreal .
My wife had a classic wood even pizza 🍕 it was delicious ( I finished it ,no take home tonight)
I had the Veal Parmesan with pasta Arabiata sauce , the meat was cooked to perfection & the pasta al dente .
There's a daily chalk board menu (Veal among others) with a nice selection of main dishes.
Our waiter Sam was the nicest , patient & thorough . We needed of nothing as he was on top of his game .
What a beautiful spot to dine,
once you walk in you forget your on Jean-Talon street.
The atmosphere was bistro style , we were 4 & did not feel cramped at all ,the banquette was so comfortable.
Busy place on a weekend it seems, so we were glad that a reservation had been made .
We recommend this place very much & we will be back again for sure 😉.

One of the Best Italian restaurants on the island.
The service was excellent, staff is friendly, hospitable & smiling. We had a reservation, we arrived & got seats with 5min.
The restaurant was packed. The atmosphere was so lively.
We ordered a sangria pitcher, 1 entrees'Arancini ai funghi'😋, 1 Arugula salad & two main dishes, a Pizza Vegetariana & 1 Eggplant with Parmesan 😋.
The flavors of each dish were explosive, as if you were just in Italy 🇮🇹 in the best restaurant.
The waitress offered us limoncello, & proposed & Must try Pistachio ice cream 🍨.
If you like pistachio ice cream at least visit them for that.
Thank you guys for bringing Italy to us through this culinary experience 🙏🏻View more

Great service. Local gem of Italian pizza pasta & main courses. We had a rose penne, veal Parmesan, spaghetti bolognese , calamari, margarita pizza & Bella Italian pizza.
All amazing & authentic. Calamari is done perfectly with minimal grease. Lots of meat sauce in the bolognese. Pizza is wood burning so amazing.
The service is amazing the staff are so genuine. Great family spot for us whenever we are in the area.View more

Tried: both tartare today.
Filet mignon: good but missing shallots, parsley, dijon & spicy taste. Please adjust.
Salmon: not tasty, no punch. Suggest finding another recipe.
We love tartare & always try them in all restaurants when available.
We will come back though!View more
