I moved to Ste-Dorothée in Laval 14 years ago & quickly discovered this hidden gem right near our home. Since then, it's become a place I truly enjoy in every setting whether it's a date night, dinner with friends, or a girls night & each visit somehow tops the last.
The attention to detail & warm, personal service truly set this place apart. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family. The food is consistently outstanding, with both a delicious regular menu & creative daily specials that never disappoint.
Mike, the owner & chef, brings incredible passion & a personal touch to every dish. He is also very welcoming & makes a point to greet his customers whenever he gets the chance. His son Daniel ensures every guest feels welcomed & valued, making the entire experience even more memorable.
If you're looking to enjoy exceptional Italian cuisine with your favorite bottle of wine, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place. Fantastic service. Excellent parking. Bring Your Own Wine! Tasty food! We had the Tuna Tattaki & the Tortellini. Both were delicious, although I found the Tortellini to be quite a small serving. So much so that I ate my entire serving, which NEVER happens, due to my small appetite. Pasta dishes are normally piled high & there are ALWAYS leftovers. Not this time. I don't think we'll be returning.
This restaurant is a small family run business that brings you in as if you are truly part of the family. The owners really know how to make one feel welcome, provide great attention to client needs, & offer an amazing menu. I had the tuna, where my wife had the rizzotto, & complementary dishes were added to the mix. Everything was fantastic, & when one can bring one's own wine, what could be better? This is a little gem & we'll definitely be back.
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!

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.
Hidden germ in Laval. Its a bit pricey but you will not regret. Quality of food is consistent, they select their ingredients carefully, pay attention to the details. Its a big plus for drinker since you can bring your own wine.
First of all let me start by saying the food was AMAZING !! & it was a bring your own wine so double points for that!. The thing the restaurant needs to work on is their booking process which was a bit too complicate for nothing. You have to state the hour you prefer & then the owner or whoever is responsible sends u back an email to confirm if what you want is available. Normally all the other restaurants you book, you go online & there's a set of hours available. It takes 2 minutes to do instead of their system where you have to wait 24 hours to know if your reservation was accepted. & since they only have 2 sets of hours on the weekend. 6h00 to 8 pm or 8h30pm til 10h30, if you pick the early dinner you will feel rush. The servers were constantly passing by our tables (they were very polite though) & we didnt have much time to enjoy our evening as they asked us to leave on the dot! We had to finish our convos in the car. Anyway, if you want to have a gastronomic italian experience its very good but it is not the place to chill for a long time.

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.
Our first time eating at Trattoria Bellamore was on Valentines day & everything was perfect. We were warmly greeted by Daniel & every staff member that served us made us feel like we ate here every week. The menu was a set 4 course meal & everything was delicious (i'm usually a picky eater) but i ate & enjoyed everything. You can definitely expect high quality authentic Italian food, & obviously the bring your own wine is a plus. The atmosphere was romantic & intimate, you almost felt like you were the only people there enjoying a beautiful candle-lit dinner. My boyfriend & i are definitely looking forward to going back & trying more on the menu. Thank you again to Daniel & the rest of the wonderful staff at Trattoria Bellamore!
