Not greeted in a professional manner to start
Not able to sit in the terrace
Food overpriced even though fresh
Linguine fruits de mere lacked fresh seafood, 4 muscles, one of which was inedible. 1 clam shell closed, inedible & waiter said'oh it happens' tiny clams that came out of a can 1 large shrimp but rest of shrimp were tiny. Flavour was there but needed more fresh seafood .
My husband enjoyed the braised beef
Crème caramel not to our liking too watery, not syrupy, way too expensive at 12$
espresso bitter
We were disappointed.
Une véritable perle à Laval ! Ce petit restaurant italien (apportez votre vin) offre une expérience authentique & raffinée. Le service est attentionné, les plats sont savoureux & préparés avec soin, dans une ambiance feutrée qui donne envie de prolonger la soirée. La carte évolue régulièrement, ce qui rend chaque visite unique & nous donne déjà envie d'y retourner.
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 stumbled upon this restaurant online, & we were so glad we did.
The owner Daniel could not have been more welcoming & professional.
My wife & I shared the Osso Bucco platter & our friends had two other delicious dishes.
The service was impeccable & Daniel explained everything on the menu to us so that we could make the right choices. The place is quite small & very intimate, so reservations are definitely recommended.
Needless to say we will absolutely be back.
This is hidden gem in Saint-Dorothée Laval.
The atmosphere at Bellamore is warm & inviting, perfect for a romantic dinner or a family gathering. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & passionate about the food. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients & bursting with flavor. We especially loved the muscles & the trippa, the main dish, braised beef was soo tender it melted in your mouth. It was truly a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to come back!
L'aspect apportez votre vin nous a attiré pour un souper entre amis. Nous avons vécu une expérience hors de ce monde. Expérience culinaire sortant de l'ordinaire allant des melons d'eau avec la burrata à la sauce à l'estragon avec la bavette.
Daniel a su adapté le rythme de son service à la perfection pour notre get together amical.
