The food was exceptional - fresh, flavourful, & beautifully prepared with high-quality ingredients. Everything we tried was delicious, & it felt like a taste of Italy right here in Laval.
Overall, this is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine, friendly service, & a family-run vibe.
Cozy spot, attentive service until dessert - had a bit of a wait for coffee & the bill, but the place was very busy. Noise level is a little high. Food is ok.
We had an amazing experience at Trattoria Bella More! It's a cozy Italian bring-your-own-wine spot. We shared a delightful mozzarella di bufala appetizer, followed by a tortellini dish & a tender beef shoulder that was absolutely fantastic. The service was exceptional, special shoutout to our waiter, Daniele. We'll definitely be back!
What a cozy romantic wonderful charming restaurant. We had the sweetest & knowledgeable waitress. Everyone was so attentive & took care of their customers. Food was delicious fresh & generous. Attention to detail was amazing. Bravo to the staff & chef.
From the moment I stepped into Trattoria Bellamore I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is warm, inviting, & exudes a cozy elegance that makes you feel like you've entered a hidden gem. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles & made me feel at home right away.
The menu is a beautifully crafted journey of flavors. We started off with the charcuterie board, which was a delicate balance of textures & tastes that left my taste buds dancing. The rapini pasta was nothing short of a masterpiece-perfectly Al Dente & bursting with bold, rich flavors that showed true culinary expertise. Each bite was more satisfying than the last.
The attention to detail was impeccable. Not to mention, who doesn't love a Bring Your Own Wine? Every dish felt like it had been made with passion & precision.
What truly stood out, though, was the outstanding service. Our waiter was knowledgeable & offered thoughtful recommendations without being intrusive. It's clear that the team here is dedicated to providing an unforgettable dining experience.
Great spot for date night! Quaint & cozy atmosphere & the service was excellent. Our water glasses were always full, orders taken quickly, & accommodated with extra plates for sharing. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine you've found it.

I just had dinner at Bellamore. Highly recommend. The food there is very good. The service is HIGHLY rated for me as Daniel (our waiter/host) was serving 8-9 tables at the same time & we were never missing anything on the table. He just knew when we needed something & his hospitality is incomparable. As for the atmosphere, it's very simple, dimmed lights, very cozy overall. Trattoria Bellamore offers a great Italian restaurant experience that will make you want to come back for more. 10/10 Thank you Daniel

Very friendly & cozy environment, service was fast & efficient, food was excellent, nice presentation, perfect temperature. Unfortunately it was a slow night, so not many customers. This restaurant deserves more attention. They are a rare breed in Laval. Thank you Daniel & Family, it was a great evening!
I ordered a tortellini, the sauce was hot but the inside of the pasta was cold. The sauce was very delicious. We tried several items from the menu, they all tasted well. Not a big variety as an italian restaurant (2 or 3 types of pastas & no pizza). It's a small place, & it feels cozy. I think it's over priced as well, we paid 170$ for 2 persons (2 entrees & 2 main courses, no dessert, no coffee, no drinks). You can bring your own wine.
We had the pleasure of trying this amazing restaurant yesterday as our little date night! Its so hard to find a nice, cozy, intimate ambience that allows you to bring your own wine in Laval. This is a family owned business that everything is homemade from head to toe; which provides high quality food & freshness especially when all is made daily ..which is so hard to find these days. We were so pleased with service, the sizing of the plates & the presentation of the food. The food was impeccable; that we are still floored of how everything tasted. The owner even came out at the end of the evening to present himself which showed us how they really cater, care & appreciate there guests. My partner & I cannot wait to bring our family here so they can try this hidden gem that deserves so much recognition; highly recommend!! Thank you again Daniel for everything, was beyond what we ever could have expected.
