Super romantic & cozy restaurant! Would definitely recommend for a date night. The food is 10/10, you can definitely tell the chef puts his personal touch. Our server was super attentive & fast.
Nous y sommes allés pour un anniversaire. Daniel (propriétaire) nous a très bien accueilli. Nous avions amené champagne & vin & le service était impeccable. L'explication du menu nous mettait l'eau à la bouche & nous ne furent pas déçus! Belle gastronomie italienne à très bon prix. Très bon suivi suivant la réservation en ligne.
We came to Trattoria Bellamore as a second choice because our first choice was closed that evening. What great luck, as it turned out, it should have been our first choice. The gourmet food, the friendly service & the homely atmosphere were exceptional. Thank you Dany, Kelly & hope to meet your dad next time we come (& we will return with a reservation).
Mike Bellacicco owner & chef puts his personal touch on the menu & excellent choices on the table de hôte. All excellent & delicious choices. Son Daniel's personal attention to customers makes you feel relaxed & well received to the cozy & warm dining ambiance that they created.

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.
