This charming, family-owned Italian restaurant delivers heartfelt hospitality & a truly memorable dining experience. The cozy, inviting atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner or a special meal with loved ones.
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.

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.
À mon avis & de celui des gens qui se trouvaient avec moi, c'est très certainement le meilleur resto rapport/qualité/prix. La nourriture est exquise, la présentation des plats est raffinée & les portions sont parfaites. L'atmosphère incluant la musique, le degré de luminosité & le montage des tables contribuent à une ambiance chaleureuse & font en sorte que l'aisance est au premier rang. Il existe aussi à ce resto, un service de grande qualité & sans prétention. Le service est on ne peut plus rapide que ce soit achalandé ou moins occupé. Le serveur-proprio, Daniel, je crois, est inégalé. Il est courtois, rapide, expéditif & fin connaisseur. Il a aussi un sens de l'observation & de l'attention qu'il met au service de la clientèle avec discrétion & simplicité. BRAVO & MERCI!!!
It is always a treat dining at Bellamore. Daniel, Rick, & Mike truly make you feel like family when you sit at their table. With amazing service & incredible authentic Italian food, I'd leave a 6th star if I could!
What else can I say asside the food was really good, atmosphere was great our waiter really made us feel welcomed. True italain cuisine,
Kitchen really organized & well maintained. Definitely will be going back
Great Italian trattoria. First experience there & I will return for more. Daniele ( waiter ) & his dad Michele ( the chef ) made our dining experience worth writhing about in this review. Great food, great quaint atmosphere.
If you're looking for a true taste of Bari, this restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm & authentic - the kind of setting that immediately transports you to southern Italy.
We tried a variety of traditional dishes: osobuco cooked to perfection, trippa full of deep, comforting flavors, & the freshest buffalo mozzarella I've ever had. Every bite spoke of quality ingredients & respect for tradition.
The service was truly A1 - attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable, making us feel like honored guests rather than just customers.
Simply put, you won't find better food or a more authentic Barese experience outside of Bari itself. Highly recommended for anyone who loves genuine Italian cuisine.
